Not only did I encountered this as well last week, I encountered
AFTER THE SAME GAME when I was playing my Packers QB. I couldn't get back to the main menu after the Pats game (Preseason Week 1)
Tried it
SEVERAL times -
SAME result. It was DRIVING ME NUTS !!! Had me thinking there was something wrong with my PS3
Wound up having to SIM that game (Something I HATE to do) in an effort to get my Packers QB past that point (Tried to go spectactor mode first but that, not surprisingly, wasn't an option)
I think it was probably an ad generated either by the EA servers or some other ad server somewhere else on the Internet which the PS3 wasn't designed to handle (Like A VIDEO AD !! ). If so,
THAT IS A MAJOR FLAW & PROBLEM WITH IN-GAME ADVERTISING EA !!!
BTW - I don't have this problem in M25. It
ALMOST NEVER happens there (In fact, freezes IN GENERAL almost never happen)
Hopefully EA finds a fix for this -
QUICK
Just my $.02 worth
