NCAA, Live and NCAA Basketball all gave me DDE's (I have no idea) when installed to the HDD. Off the disc, not a single issue ever with any of them.

It's weird.

Hmmm...exact opposite for me. I decided to try 09 again (like it, dont love it) and installed it to the HDD.

So far the game play for me is much better. Less stuttering and i have been having some excellent games.

I ditched all my slider customizations and installed to the HD and have had 4 great games in a row. It could be coincidence but it feels smoother to me.

It is weird all these different results. NCAA 09 has been smooth for me and Fight Night Round 3 ran more smoothly as well.

Both NCAA Basketball and Football work great for me.

What kinds of issues are you having?

Ah... nevermind...

And yes, that's very weird.

yep same here. aint worried about it, it doesn't lock up, just takes awhile to load. it only happens though after the game, and halftime. otherwise, game runs smooth with no choppiness.

It seems better during gameplay but halftime/postgame highlights and exiting a finished game are much longer to get around.

Probably a dumb question, but if I delete it from the HDD, that action won't get rid of the profile/franchise etc files, will it?

Explain this one: I installed NCAA to my HDD and yet, when I attempt to play it off the HDD, it still asks for me to put the disc in the 360. Why is that?
