Madden just crashed my system
 

Thankfully everything booted back up ok...but here's the story:

-PS3 Slim 160 gb, stock, original hard drive
-Ran a few CPU vs. CPU games over the course of 3 hours
-Quit the game as usual and heard the "oh no!" double-beep sound and the system powered off (no I did not accidently "turn off system")
-Waited a few seconds and booted the PS3 back up and instead of being prompted with the typical "system was not shut down correctly" message I got something I'd never seen before saying:

"There was a software problem press "X" to report this to SCEA...pressing X will provide information to SCEA and the Developer about this problem"

-After pressing X to report the info I then got the usual "system was not shut down correctly" message and then it did an "auto" file check/restore.

Kind of a scary moment as I'd never seen the first message before. But it cleary stated it was a software issue. It's unfortuante Madden has its in-game bugs, but crashing my system is a whole other bag of potatoes!

Anyone else have this issue?

Yeah, I played an Online H2H game last night and after I tried to quit the game from the menu, the screen went black- I got the double beep and had to run the troubleshooting upon start-up.

I've got a 80GB Fatboy with a 320HD custom drive.. I know Madden 06 destroyed my PS2 at one point, I'm hoping this isn't a recurring issue.

could be an online issue?

It's a bug on the EA server that is crashing your unit.

I think it's the PS3 firmware version that's having problems. They just had an update yesterday. I ALWAYS get the double beep when quitting a game; every game, not just Madden

Re: Madden just crashed my system
 

Yeah, it has nothing to do with Madden.

It's either your system or like Obnoxious said, the firmware.

It happens 50% of the time whenever I quit any game.

Actually the firmware was for the cloud storage for Plus users.

I played several games online with no problems. It has to be EA server.

Exact same thing happened to me too.

I then played Brutal Legend for a bit and it didn't crash when I quit.
