I have never, since I have had my XBox 360, had a game freeze on me regularly. Some games froze maybe once or twice, over the course of a year or so. Frustrating, but no biggie.

NCAA Basketball 10 has now frozen on me three times in about 6 hours of gameplay. Twice during gameplay in Dynasty mode, and once while on the Dynasty menu.

I am exchanging the game today for another copy. Does anyone with experience with this type of problem know if switching copies of the game is likely to help?

The first copy I bought had gameplay in which it would lag every 5 seconds, making the game unplayable. I traded it in for a new copy the next day and it works flawlessly.

I am bumping this to update.

I exchanged the game for another copy. Again, I played a few hours, no problems, and then last night, late in the 2nd half of a dynasty game, it freezes. It seems to be freezing during timeouts or substitutions.

Is anyone else having issues with freezing during gameplay? None of my other Xbox 360 titles have had freezing issues. I am very frustrated because this game is incredible, but it's almost not worth it if I can't play through my dynasty games.....

Is almost impossible a freeze was correlated to a disk mate, is the game...
The sub freeze is a well known Live engine glitch (Ncaa too), same as last year. Is totally random and will occur when u make sub...
Better to set sub on auto to avoid this (not sure anyway)

I'm not a Live player so I didn't know that. I have been searching the EA forums and other gaming forums and I can't find any info about this issue. Has EA addressed this issue? Is using auto-subs a known workaround?

Every time this has started occurring about 4 to 6 games into Dynasty mode, with me playing every game.

Is no one else experiencing this?

I had this same exact problem with last years game. Try installing the game to your hard drive, that's what I did, and I was able to play full games without freezing.

Ive got the sub freeze on Nba Live 10 installed on hd, so is pointless fatcor. It occurs very often anyway.
Ncaa 09 also give me that problem last year. Believe or not, is already discussed (and not fixed yet) glitch.

I got an Xbox Elite last Christmas and haven't had any problems from it until now. NCAA Basketball froze on me twice last night. That's first time I've seen it and I've had the game since Saturday.
