NCAA 2003 Lock-up solution

[WallaceNails]

I know this is been discussed, but since I still play NCAA 2003, I thought I wuld share the solution to the lock ups. All you have to do is open and then close your CD ROM on the PS2 (With your game still in) and it will start right up where you left off.

Interesting....I have never tried that.....

When do you open the PS2 - after it locks up, or when you first notice that the announcers and crowd are silent?

I prefer simply allowing all of the sound files and cut scenes play all the way through - since the game only locks up when it gets overwhelmed by sound files. I have played 20+ straight games this way - without another lock-up.

But - if it locks-up on me again - I will try this....

I tried that...but it only worked once and eventually the game locked hard.

I gave away the game because of lock ups, it was just too frustrating. I miss it though and even considered getting a new PS2 for the game since the lock ups seem to be more of a problem with older PS2's.

I did not give mine away, but I was about to get a new ps2 to try to stop it. But I decided just to put up with it aand wait and buy me a xbox shortly before 2004 comes out.

Hate to contradict you, but this has NEVER worked for me... I've tried it maybe 25 times on NCAA03 lock-ups.

It seemed to happen a lot to me when I choose alternate uniforms. Or am I just paranoid?

[Jayhawk]

I think you're paranoid.

I think you're just out to get me.
