More Franchise Mode Freeze Problems

[three6fan]

Hey guys im new here im sure there have been alot of posts about this but i will go ahead and tell my experience with the franchise mode. OK im the Cardinals I made it through my first season with no freezes I was just 3-13 and got a good QB with the number 2 pick in the draft and in the draft is when it first froze up on me. I made it through the draft and offseason and then made it through the first 3 games of my second season where I was 3-0 and then it froze again in my fourth game. I would hate to have to go back to boring *** madden but this freezing stuff really ticks me off. Is there any way to be able to play the franchise on here without freezing????

I know you said you are new, but please don't double-post. Most of us read all the threads and I already commented on this in another thread.

Most of the franchises are not stable beyond one year. Puja's will be (close to being released) and there may be one other (author escapes me), but that is about it.

Well damn that sucks. I guess I will just have to go back to madden

So you mean to tell me there is no way around this???? I've seen some posts saying if you create a new playbook or something then it might work I guess I will try that. But I had this game a few years ago and I got through several seasons without many freezes I had a couple here and there but I made it through like 7 seasons in one franchise. I'll give this franchise another try hopefully it doesen't freeze again but no wonder this game was only $20, it sucks that the franchise will just freeze all the time

It doesn't freeze like that with the original rosters and such from when the game came out, it's freezing because so much is being changed in the game, most of it by an outside editor. Editing rosters, schedules, and such isn't as simple as plugging all the data in like you edit a player in-game. Puja, Finn, and the others are doing things that the game's code was never intended to allow, and of course there's going to be issues.

Modding, and playing those mods takes patience, and if people can't accept that fact, then yes, they probably should go back to Madden. JMO.

What roster are you using?

[three6fan]

Im just playing the regular PS2 version of this game im using the original Arizona Cardinals roster with a few rookies and some small free agents signed here and there. I had a freeze up in the draft and just now had a freeze up on week 5 of my second season
