Where does it happen exactly? This is my second time reporting a freezing issue in this thread. This second incident happened twice in the same match-up. First time I tried to play this particular game, I made it all the way through to the end and it froze before I could get to the end game menu. Second time it just froze in the fourth quarter during a cut scene during Game Track.

Periodically freezes while the end of game highlights are cycling just before bringing you to the post game menu.

I press pause every time before gametrack or the qtr break comes up just to skip over it but the end of the game is just getting lucky if it doesn't freeze

Where does it happen exactly? I've had the last two games freeze in the 4th quarter near the end of the game when a game track is popping up.

Everyother game IF not every game. This is embarrassing, I can't even play the game.

Where does it happen exactly? This has happened continuously during my dynasty. I will either exit out of an unfinished game or end a finished game, and with the home screen showing, there is a bar that says "tuning update" with a loading circle. It stays like this for ever - literally. I have no choice but to turn off my console and restart, even if I just finished a game or not. Do you know how frustrating that is? Please fix

Where does it happen exactly? Froze after I finished a game, before I could get to the pause/end game menu.

Where does it happen exactly? It would freeze immediately when I tried to load a game (year 2020 of a Texas State dynasty). It also would freeze when trying to load recruiting. After probably 10-12 attempts at each, I simmed the rest of the regular season. It allowed me to load a bowl game and play, so it appears to be corrected -- for now.

Re: NCAA Football 13 Freezing? Post All Details Here

The easiest way around all the Gametrack freezing (which is 99% of the problem for me) is to force the game into a different animation by pausing the game just before a Gametrack would begin. These occur at change of possession so, for example, after every kickoff I immediately pause the game once the play is over and that forces the game to skip the Gametrack animation altogether. I haven't had a single freeze since I started doing this, and I'm a bit surprised it took me this long to figure this out. I can actually play entire games now without worrying about losing them in the 4th quarter. Just remember though it's all change of possessions that you need to worry about, not just kickoffs. For me the Gametrack animation usually starts showing up somewhere in the 2nd quarter so I usually start doing it at the beginning of the quarter just to be safe.

So this def works? And game track only happens after change of possession? This might be a possible fix despite how pathetic that is that we have to do that.

Where does it happen exactly? When viewing a highlight.

I hope they don't leave this freezing problem unresolved, like they did with NCAA Basketball 10.

Since doing this I have yet to see a Gametrack animation and consequently have yet to encounter a freeze. Seems to be working perfectly provided you remember to do it as it is pretty easy to forget. I know some others have had freezing issues at the end of games, but I just let the animation role all the way through the play of the game before pressing A to advance. And I let the still frames play themselves out as well. This seems to alleviate that problem. Can't say for sure that it will always work, but I do feel more confident about the Gametrack fix. Won't have any problems with it causing a freeze if you never give it a chance to happen.
