    WSB Lockups are killing me!!! Anyone else? Please help

    I have played 10-12 games and it has locked up completely at least 6 times. When it does this a high pitched electronic sound just comes out of the speaker and the vibration of the controller just gets stuck on. I have not had any problems with other games except when I tried HH2004. IT locked a few times but I thought it was bad code on 3DO's part. I haven't seen anyone talk of WSB lock ups so I am asking if anyone has seen these.

    I am on my way to exchange it for a new copy but I highly doubt that is the problem. But I am holding out hope. If it is not the disk then could it be my XBOX? WTF? any help is greatly appreciated!

    Well, no lock ups here. If you have another game that is doing it it might just be your XBOX. Good luck.

        I've never had the game lock up during play, but I have had it not recognize the game when I first put it in. If you have an older XBOX, that may be it. There are certain games I have played with mine--NCAA Football 2003, Inside Dirve, and now WSB, where the games locked up. I have no idea why it happens, but it does.

        I know that for Inside Drive, I returned it for another one and the new one has only locked up once, whereas the old game wouldn't play at all.

        Maybe try and get a new disk, or clean up the saved files on you XBOX--I have heard that part of the problem may lie in corrupted save files.

        Good luck.

                I have had lockup problems with WSB - I have problems with all Sega Sports titles, and with High Heat, and some EA Titles as well. Even when there's no lockup, sound will lag behind as the drive tries to find the correct clip.

                I've also had DVDs lock up - at least twice that I remember.

                I had a launch day Xbox, and know that the DVD drives in the newer Xboxes are from a different manufacturer, and are supposed to be better. I went ahead and traded in my old Xbox, and bought a new one. haven't had a problem since.

                I think the real issue is with the launch Xbox, and the DVD drive doing more random access (instead of the sequential access you'll see in, say, HALO).

                    Hope I'm not asking anything that is illegal here on the forums but does anyone know of any sites that tell you how to Mod your XBOX? I mean....it's out of warranty anyway so it can;t hurt. I am simply referring to replacing the DVD drive. I have heard of this being done but everytine someones mentions it they never tell how because it is "illegal". I may want to try this before trading my XBOX in on a new one. Especially since the only 2 games that have issues are HH and WSB. Besides...I paid for the darn thing....if I want to hack at it I should be allowed huh?

                    Fossen.....which XBOX did you get to replace it? The new $199 bundled with 2 games? Am I guarenteed that there is a different drive in these? I hate to get rid of mine and find out that the issue occurs on a new XBOX also. Been playing Madden, NFL2k3, NCAA 2003 and the new Indiana Jones game without issue.

                        The damn game locked up on me in the last inning of a 1-0 game which I was winning. I was bringing in my closer to finish it out and locked up. So I erased my franchise and started over. Next time it locked up in the second inning. So I figured I would give it one more try. This time it locked up on the second batter of the game. I returned my copy today for a new one. I will try it later and let you know if that worked. By the way, No other games I have owned( except for NCAA 2003 College Football( EA)) have locked up on me.

                            That is against board rules. There's a pretty thin line between modding and piracy, and we won't allow discussion of either here.

                            This was just my solution. I have been having problems with many other games, and the specific nature of what was happening indicated the drive was the culprit. I suppose you're not technically guaranteed a new drive, but I can't imagine you wouldn't get one. I know I could hear the difference in the drive spinning up with the newer Xbox (one of the JSRF/Sega GT bundle).
