EA produces 3-4 different prints of the their games each containing 3-4 different serial numbers on the the silver-side of the disks. With NCAA 2003, it was known that a bad batch of disks were in circulation and locked-up during gameplay. That bad batch contain one specific serial number. If you had that serial number, it would lock up on you, it was defective, while the other 2 prints were fine. I think this is happening again. Some people are experiencing freezing while others aren't. If you're experience the game locking up, post your game's serial number here. It's located by the hole of the disk on the silver side. Also, those that aren't experiencing a lock-up, post your serial number too. We can find out which prints are the defective ones and which ones are fine.

I don't know if this is the serial number or what but this is what I saw #0506

BTW, my game doesn't crash

7A3F44A8-L1 ? Not sure which is the serial # but that is one of the three #'s I saw and no lockups. Theres also:

0206 and 0501

Like I said.. no lockups whatsoever.

The 7A3F44A8-L1 I believe, is the serial number. So far that appears to be non-flawed disk.

I take it not many people here are having problems with their copies of Madden for the 360...That's good.

Mine copy froze up the second day I got it b/c I played on the system all day. But since then it freezes up sometimes when I play in the rain against a human opponent. But other than that I don't have any problems.

That doesn't sound good. I've read where people have played for hours and hours and have never experienced a freeze-up. I'm not saying your disk/system is flawed. I'm just curious why some people aren't experiencing any foul ups while others are...

Mine is 7A3F44A8-L0
