Franchise Freezing

[amac373]

Is anyone else having franchises that constantly freezes. I had no problem my first season but starting my second season my game is constantly freezing. At first it was just when loading up my franchise. Now it is starting to freeze during games. I was in the top of the 9th the other night winning the game with 2 outs left and of course my game just decides to freeze up. I am sick of this and will quit playing the game until these issues get resolved. It is heartbreaking losing good play games because of 2K not knowing how to create a functioning game.

I dont know if this is affecting you but;

-There is a bug where generated rookies you have drafted cause the game to freeze when they come up to bat. (This is why you never noticed it in the 1st season, since you did not do a draft yet, and thus there were no generated rookies.)

Are you noticing it when a certain player comes up to bat? Possibly someone you just drafted and then promoted to the MLB level?

Other causes of freezing mid game
-Custom music sound-tracks (Do you use custom music?)
-RROD pre-cursor (Is it alll games or just MLB 2K10?)

Try clearing your xbox 360 cache...doesn't effect any of your saves, etc...you just have to re-download patches. Worked for me.

Yeah, there actually was a rookie on the opposite team up to bat when the game froze. Why are these rookies causing the game to freeze?

Aha, so we found the cause.

First things first, I can assure you Ron2K and the Dev team was made aware of this. (If they fix it though, that is another thing.)

Second; Im not sure what causes the bug, but it is definetly "generated rookies" that the game creates to for the draft. If those guys are subsequently promoted to the MLB level by you or CPU controlled teams; they cause the game to freeze every time when they come to bat. (which is why you never had it occur in the first season.)

Naturally as the years go by, and more and more generated rookies are created for the draft every year, the game eventually becomes un-playable.

Its a horrible bug, and MUCH THANKS to duke777 from right here at OSforums for finding this bug.

Ron2K responded to ym email and said he would pass it along to the dev team.

I hope they were able to fix it for the patch.
