Most of the time you have to power down when the game freezes and the PS3 does a system restore. EA titles are notorious for random freeze issues. NHL, Battlefield, Black OPs but they are most often related to online. I recognize this as being true because if you would check the EA forums when people post about freezing EA removes the post a few days later. Also in older games where you can no longer connect to EA servers, those games no longer freeze. So it's either a miracle fix or an EA problem.

If you are playing offline the best thing to do is signout of PSN which will automatically sign you out of EA. (For those who think I'm bashing EA. I own some stock in the company, it's a fact their tech support sucks but it is not the fault of the tech support person you contact).
