Disc unreadable...

[Jebus]

Ok so I've been playing my NBA LIve 09 copy for the past 2 days with out a problem (Menus do load abit slow but nothing major)

Then today I went into it, get into the training gym part and then when i press start it says "The disc is unreadable - clean disc ect'

So I clean and check the disc and it was all fine, no scratches and its clean...

And then it finally worked, got to play some of my franchise... then when i quit it to go back tot he main menu I got the exact same message... This has happened twice (the franchise then quit thing)

Is it something wrong with my xbox?

Re: Disc unreadable...

i had the same problem, try clearing your hard drive cache. Go to this site for instructions:

If that doesn't work then you'll need to delete all of your nba live 09 files because one of them may be corrupt (as told to me by ea support).

I would honestly trade it in and get a PS3. I had the same problems with my xbox 360 and it got worse and worse until i got the flashing 3 red lights. Then i called xbox support and they told me i was past my warranty (which i was by a month only! i was pissed) and would charge me $150 for a new refurbished system. I said probably not and got a PS3. No problems, no worries.

Re: Disc unreadable...

I had this happen to me as well. If you INSTALL the games on the hard drive, and play from there, you will have no issues. I have 2 cracked games that continue to play because i installed them on my hard drive.

Also, some of the cases the games come in have a tendency to crack the disc from the inside, causing you to get the unreadable disc error...as this happened to me on a few occasions. The discs have -0- scratches but are cracked in the center.

Re: Disc unreadable...

Well I didn't do anything and it seems to to be working fine... Maybe I'll install it just to be sure.

Thanks for the help

Re: Disc unreadable...

Yea my first nba live 09 game cracked bc of the damn case it was in. No scratches but a little crack in the center. I bought a cd sleeve case and put all my games in there now bc that is ridiculous. People are saying not to force the game when putting it into the game case, well i have to say i have never gotten a crack in my entire life from putting a game in its original case before. Pressing a game down to put it back in its case should not cause a crack.

Re: Disc unreadable...

I just ran into this problem now (disc read error) Disc is clean and I don't see any cracks in the center of the disk. I'm currently in the process of installing the game to my Hard Drive. *Fingers are crossed*

Re: Disc unreadable...

Yeah I had the same problem as well. Mine was pretty bad too. Installed it on my hard drive after the 360 update and havent had a disc error since.

I had this last night when I tried to encode a saved replay. Cost me a close game too. Boy was I pissed.

Re: Disc unreadable...

This problem is the game's biggest flaw.
Hell, I've had the unreadable disc error even though my game is installed to the damn hard drive.

Well, there goes my next possible solution.

That's just one big joke.

Re: Disc unreadable...

I cleaned the cache and it did not work so I started to remove the game from the disc drive when I finish playing and I have no problems now.

It's only happened once though Pared, so I would install if I were you.
