Just a word of caution that I had problems like this with NCAA 09--in game freezes, etc.--in the run-up to my first 360 going RROD on me. NCAA was the only game that I experienced any problems with; other games and console functions worked fine, but the NCAA problems persisted for almost two months, and then my 360 went belly-up. I can't definitively say there was a correlation between the NCAA freezes and my 360 dying, but the timing leads me to suspect something. My theory is that there is something intensive in the NCAA engine that is affected by the same problem that eventually causes the RROD, and that whatever is going bad in the console to cause the RROD also causes problems with NCAA while the problem develops. I have no expertise or evidence for this, however, and it's simply speculation on my part. May you have better luck than I did.
