    Freeze, freeze, freeze, enough!

    I have stuck with this game from day 1. I think I enjoyed it more than 90% of the people who bought it, but I just can't take it anymore. I don't know if it's coincidence or not, but ever since the last patch I can barely finish a dam game. My game has frozen 4 out of the last 5 games. And it's usually 7th inning or later. I play every game of my franchise so it's endlessly frustrating.

    I keep all of my stuff pristine, the disk is flawless. I never have a problem freezing in any other game. Well I'm walking away from this game now, time to move on. I don't have a ton of gaming time, what time I do have I'm not spending on a game that freezes up game after game.

    For all the cool stuff 2K does, it just seems like with some of their titles, you're getting beta copies. Too bad. This game has a ton going for it. But being a Cubs fan all I can say is, "maybe next year."

    Agreed. The game is trash. News at 11.

      I've had issues as well, I've started to save the game every few innings so that if it freezes I don't lose the whole thing. Yes, it's annoying to have to this but otherwise I would probably smash that dics into 1000 pieces.

        I've had it freeze once since the patch, and it was on the franchise main menu.

        How old is your 360? Maybe it could be getting 3 red lights soon. I'm not trying to say that it isn't the game, but I haven't experienced the problems you have w/ freezing and we both got the same game and the same patch...we might not have the same 360's though. Seeing as how my original got the 3 red lights, and Microsoft sent me a new one (w/ new heat sink and a better fan).

            I Agree..with the amount of effort 2k puts behind the NBA series, i would like to see them put the same amount of effort into their MLB series. Im hoping next years game is great since Ben did mention last year that this is going to be a 3 year process..but hey who knows what is going to happen next year..for all we know EA might own the 2k series. Hmmm..it might actually be for the better

              I'm very forgiving with many sports video games. Then again, I'm from the Pong era. But the one thing I can't tolerate is freezing.

                Re: Freeze, freeze, freeze, enough!

                Jistic, I'm with you. I play every game too, and it's driving me crazy. Mine seems like it's freezing about as often as yours (and it's not my system, it's not an old unit, and no other game freezes.) I actually really enjoy the game, when it works, but I really can't put up with it anymore. I don't have a PS3, otherwise I'd already have The Show. Unfortunately, I have no other option on the 360.

                      I've just about had it with the freezing also, it's definitely become more evident since the "patch". And the thing is, it's not random at all. Every freeze I get is after a swinging third strike...it happens the same way every time. I have a new 360 (6 months old) which is kept on a flat, well ventilated hard surface with nothing around it to constrict air flow, so it's not that...not to mention I *never* have any issues with other games, only MLB2k8.

                        It's funny you mention that because about 2 weeks ago I was playing a franchise game and it froze in like the 8th inning, i'm pissed so i just shut it off and i'll probably sim it tomorrow. so the next morning i turn my xbox on and i get the 3 red lights. so idk if that has anything to do with it or not, but that's just my story.

                          Is there a fix for freezing like last year? When u put all your saved info on a memory card. I remember i did that for last years game n it seemed to prevent most freezes, though i think it still froze a few times but now nearly as much as when i had everything on the HDD.

                          Im going to try this out n see how it works.

                          I said this in another thread, but i wanna put the idea out there n maybe it will work

                            Yeah, the crashing got to me so much, I dusted off the ol' PS2 and bought The Show '08.
                            This game has potential, but $60 is a lot of scratch for potential.

                              Just wondering...Are you guys freezing in exhibition/franchise or both and are we talking about 360/PS3 or both?

                              Reason I ask is because I have played about 25 exhibition games and have only seen one freeze.

                              Thanks for any input
