A microsoft rep called me a few minutes ago and gave me a one time use code to get Hexic. I redownloaded it, and it too picked right up not only where she left off, but she had a saved game and picked right back up in the middle of it. Amazing technology for sure. I've played 10-15 games and no freezes after the reformat, so if you've got a memory card and you want to play the game as badly as I did, go for it. You won't lose much of anything actually.
    So, what your saying is use the memory card instead of the hard drive for saves in this game?

            Unless I did something wrong, I went to format, put in the serial number and hit the format button. It only took likew 30 seconds and it was done.
            My 360 is only 4 days old and this is my only saved game, dont know if that makes any difference.

                Doesnt work for everyone. Just like the various other "fixes" dont work for everyone.

                  Reformatting seems to have worked for me, too. Knock on wood.
                  Of course, if Dawson gets hot, and
                  Sutcliffe comes through, and....
                  Pa, see what you did to me?

                    Sweet BK. Great news (well not so great going thru the process of reformatting), but it's good you can play again.

                      Well it seems this year 2k or whoever makes these games really messed up. Some report problems with NBA2k6 (not sure what though).. College Hoops (the patch that screwed it even worse) and now MLB (freezing).

                      One thing I noticed and read though is when people formatted their HD, it seemed to fix all or most of everyone's problem. Something seriously needs to be fixed before the next batch of their games get released.

                        Reformatted last night and have been able to play and save with no problems or freezes! Hope that fixed it long term ....

                          I think we should get an OS trademark on the term "2K4mat" We might could even get it into Webster's dictionary

                          2k4mat: The act of getting one's next gen console ready to play a 2K Sports game.

                            Random question, I don't know anything about it so could someone just give a quick summary of what happened with the college hoops patch? What was it supposed to fix and what did it in fact do?

                              For some folks it made it where the ref never tipped the ball off. He just stood there I think.

                                "I got through on to the operator and they said to take off the hard drive and play one full game under the play now option.(PLAY-BALL) After that they told me to put my hard drive back on my 360 with the system still on, once the hard drive is snapped back in the system shoud restart and it should fix the freezing problem."

                                Hope this is helpful until a PATCH is available..
                                A safer way to do this, so you won't kill your hard drive, is to boot the game without a disc in your 360. At the Xbox 360 Launcher screen, Select Tools -> System Settings. Highlight 'Hard Drive' and select 'Disabled'. This should help everyone get around the crash.
