Did you import any draft classes? Yes

If so, did you use the named NCAA file that was known to be corrupt? No, I did not use NCAA roster files but did edit about 50 players and created a few.

Are you using updated rosters? Yes, from EA update on release day or the 13th

Did you do a fantasy draft? No

What team(s) are you using? Browns

Where in the mode is it freezing - i.e. what screen exactly? Freezes when trying to simulate preseason games. Then I super simmeed the Browns first preseason game of season 3 and after one more freeze the next time I loaded it up I was able to simulate through the preseason. Starting season 3 tonight, if it doesn't freeze up again.

Do you have a save file where you can load it up and get the game to freeze every time? Nothing consistent, just happened as I started season 3 last night.

Can the freeze be avoided, or is your Franchise stuck? I.e. can you advance? Not sure yet

Etc. etc. - Playing on 360. I play every game with my teamm, simulate all others. Simulate preseaon games. I don't train players. I haven't edited any players.

1. Did you import any draft classes? If so, did you use the named NCAA file that was known to be corrupt?

No draft class has been imported.

2. Are you using updated rosters?

I am using the latest EA update. Takeo Spikes has been added to the 49ers, I just can't remember if I did this or if this move was included in the update. All ratings/equipment has remained unedited.

3. Did you do a fantasy draft?

Yes.

4. What team(s) are you using?

Buffalo Bills. My brother and I play the games together on one single team.

5. Where in the mode is it freezing - i.e. what screen exactly?

When the freeze takes effect it was during the first two or three minutes of the first quarter. The freeze takes effect in the playcall screen. The game froze only once after the first quarter and that was at the end of the Bills vs Dolphins game in Toronto, in which the game froze while the players were leaving the field. Every other time the game froze it was always early in the first quarter (first one or two minutes).

6. Do you have a save file where you can load it up and get the game to freeze every time?

I have a save file, but the freeze is not consistent. For example, I will train three players and save the game. I will then continue and play a game. If the game is completed without a freeze I will save the game and advance to the next week to train players and repeat. Whenever the game freezes, I just reload the save and complete the game. I have not had the game freeze more than once per game week, and it usually happens every few games, and if I play three games per session it will sometimes happen once during the three game plays.

7. Can the freeze be avoided, or is your Franchise stuck? I.e. can you advance?

I can advance and the Franchise does not appear to be stuck. I have noticed that the stats do not match all the time. I have had LT rush for 125 yards and be credited with 85 at the end of the game, but I would assume that to be an unrelated issue.


I hope this helps...

Only post here if your franchise is freezing in the menus or when trying to save. Not in game or when attempting to train. The only reason I say this is because this is the only thread dedicated to my freezing problem, and I'd really like the problem to get the attention it needs instead of the thread being flooded with the same things that everyone is already aware of.

I can simulate weeks but in order to play games it cannot be avoided
