Online Franchise Pre Game Freezing Problem

[bwyant32]

Ok fellas, this is happening in my online league with a few different owners now. Here is a post on my forum about it:

"Me and Detroit have tried playing our Week 3 game 7-8 times now. We tried playing last night and today and it freezes at the same spot every time. It's at the "players to watch" screen and when it gets to the 2nd set of players, it stops loading and freezes. It's an issue with the game, and not our connections. I found another complaint online that is almost exactly the same:

"Having freezing issues during the "players to watch" screen before a game starts and is in the loading phase.

Very frustrating. Happens everytime durying online dynasty when the 2nd set of players to watch pops up. Rediculous that madden adds all these new features without even perfecting the old stuff. It's becoming typical EA."

Anyone got any ideas, this happening to anyone else? I'm guessing we aren't gonna be able to play until EA comes out with the first patch. I haven't found when that is either though. It's a joke that EA has so many bugs every year with this game. They make all this money off it and then can't hire enough people to make sure the job is done right."

Any thoughts?
