Just got a free copy of the PS3 version for the no halftime show on 360

[gogators]

I got in contact with EA Sports about the halftime show not showing up on my 4GB XBOX 360 (just bought a used one until the XBOX One comes out). I told them there should have been some type of warning to let us know that and if I had known that to begin with I would have bought the PS3 version. They apologized and offered to send me a PS3 copy for free. Way to step up customer service!

It's there, but only if you install the game to your harddrive. The 4g flash memory XBOX isn't enough for the install.

What if I install the game on a thumb drive. I did that with the early release and other games... will it show it then?

Ok good. Thanks for confirming. I haven't had a chance to start a dynasty yet so this concerned me.

I would have thought ever since the PS2 days, people would have known that if your console don't have a physical hard drive, you won't be able to watch halftimes shows in sports games. Considering you know, it been that way since the PS2 days when Xbox had halftime shows because they had a hard drive and PS2 version didn't unless you put in a physical hard drive into the system.

Same thing applies this gen. 4GB version of Xbox 360 isn't a mechanical hard drive, it is nothing but an internal flash drive. And no you don't have to install the game to your hard drive either, you just need an actual physical hard drive.

That didn't work for NCAA 13. Don't know about this year though. I think it needs to be a hard drive. If you bought the game as an XBOX Live digital download it might be a different story.

Like I said, I bought it used because I kept getting RROD on my old 360, I was about to fork over a bunch of money when the only games I'm going to play on the 360 until the XBOX One comes out is NCAA and GTA V. I'll be able to install GTA, so that won't be a problem.
There should have been some sort of warning if the halftime shows weren't going to work on ALL consoles.

I'm pretty sure you need to install GTA V on a hard drive. Just go to gamestop and pick up a hard drive for the console.

If that's the case, I'll purchase it on PS3. Halo 4 was a mandatory install and it ran off my 16 GB thumb drive. I just found this about GTA V

Softpedia "This initial install will require an Xbox 360 Hard Drive or an external 16GB USB flash drive with at least 8 GB of free space. If using a USB flash drive it must be at least USB 2.0 with a minimum 15mb/s read speed and formatted for Xbox 360 use. A new USB flash drive is recommended to ensure optimum performance."

I see the halftime shows and don't have my game installed to my XBox.

Yeah, same here. I see it during Dynasty/RTG games.

Now, If installing it would speed up these damn loading times, i'd be all over it.

Re: Just got a free copy of the PS3 version for the no halftime show on 360

this is normal for sports games past few years,if you dont have a harddrive you wont get all the same extended replays,halftime shows,after game replays,ea an 2k been doin that this gen all along,has nothin to do with installing the game

Load times aren't terrible and as long as you have an actual hard drive , you don't have to install anything to your XBOX to see halftime shows.
