Sigh. Game keeps "freezing" on pause screen

Again, not true.....I play with the stock rosters, with a few edits, and created players, and I too am getting the freeze.

Had this happen last night for the first time as well. D-pad only for me from now on.

YES. Always, always, always, when I'm winning for whatever reason.

It's maddening.

Okay then.

But this never used to happen the first week the game came out...This had to come from the patch.

The online freeze crossed over to Franchise mode.

If you turn on warm up pitchers, you can put them right into the game and warm them up a bit. Maybe a workaround? It is the only solution i can think of.

Happened to me for the first time tonight. Funny thing is, first the cpu screwed up the double-switch and put my outfielder in to pitch. When I went to fix it, the remainder of the game played with the bullpen overlays on screen!

But the game ended okay. After the wrap up, the game froze. The camera just kept panning the stadium.

FRUSTRATING...

NEVER had that happen before. What's going on?!

Hey guys,

Did anyone ever come up with a solution for this? It's been happening ever since the last patch.

It looks like our best bet is to steer clear of the pause menu when trying to access the bullpen. I've yet to experience a freeze after going to the bullpen through the d-pad.

Unfortunately, the old habit of going through the pause menu manages to screw me over about once every few games. It's frustrating because it always happens late in games when you're doing the most bullpen management. If only I could rig my DS3 to shock me every time I hit the pause button... that would probably break the habit.
