It's not as bad as the 10-post wonders are making it sound. It sounds like the people who had freezing issues prior to the patch are still having them and the people who aren't...still aren't.

The only freezing issues I had prior to patch 2 came once I got to Year 3 of my franchise. Ian gave a pretty good indication that it was that type of freezing that was addressed in this patch.

Now with patch 2, I'm 7 games into my first season (started EVERYTHING fresh post-patch), and I've yet to experience even one freeze.

The 10 post wonders? LMAO

When I grow up I want to have 12,000 posts on a sports gaming message board just like you. Your family must be so proud.

Perhaps GameFAQs is a place more suitable for your style of posting.

Try this. I remember last year this happened to me ALL the time. Every game. I'd be so damn pissed I couldn't see straight.

I'd play an entire game only to have it freeze at the replay box.

Then at halftime, I started to WATCH a few replays(b/c the box pops up there as well) of the first half. Not all five, just two or three. Takes but thirty seconds.

After the game...NO freezes. I was shocked, and I never had another freeze after that.

So give it a try. Watch a few of the highlights at halftime. Like actually open it up so it fills the entire screen. Then flip to another one of the five and do the same. I always made sure I watched three.

Believe it or not I'm not here to troll or bash EA for no reason. I feel like though that based on my experience with 09' that I have a little bit of a right to be upset. Obviously some feel I shouldn't be upset at all. I don't enjoy having this problem if you can believe it. If I could have it my way I'd LOVE to be one of the guys who are on here brushing off the complainers because that would mean my disc actually worked.

I paid 65 dollars for this game and couldn't even play it. I guess I am in the minority of people that are having this problem. Let me just say though that it sucks to be one of the unfortunate few.

I love Madden. I have purchased every Madden since the early 90's. Franchise mode is a yearly tradition for me and it's just frustrating to have had the disc sitting in front of me for nearly 2 months without being able to play it without 50% of my games freezing up on me.

Just put yourself in our shoes for a moment.

Quality post and I can completely relate. Now if you would've just written more posts like this before now, I wouldn't have called you a 10-post wonder!
