When I installed it, it ran fine. It was after I uninstalled that the issues began. I would load Madden and try to play a game and it would freeze up almost every time.

It wasn't my system going bad; no other games would freeze, and the system has been doing fine since I stopped trying to play Madden. This happened to another guy on the forum, as well.

On my 120 GTA IV has no issues at all. I did with my 20 though.

I think using the GDD is better and it preserves your system life and your disc get less scratches from a ton of playing.

The new update cuts game install sizes though (very drastically in some cases). I'd expect Madden 10 to end up between 5-5.5 GBs as a result.
