I just started playing this game and so far so good. Only problem is the freeze and audio is still going out.

I have the ps3 version from Madden not the seperate game. It occurs after 2-3 quick saves all. Sometime its just the audio and I can quick save one more time or it will freeze comletely. My PS3 is a brand new 160 gb purchased 12/4 and I received the game 12/20 and it freezes 2-3 times a session (1-6) hours of play.

I am now quick saving quite often but I always run the risk that that any quick save will freeze my career.

So was this addressed in a patch and is there any word on another patch?

Another thing I have noticed is draft classes. 1-3 players with the exact same attributes, height, weight, potential (basically any stat available on them) in the same position.

Is this an error with my GM or just a error within the game generating different draft picks?

Basically I have just filled holes with the later round players that compare exactly to the higher round players only difference is the picture and name.

The freezing is greatly reduced after the patch among other things. Connect your PS3 to the internet get the patch life will be good. The game rocks.

I have had very few freezing problems post patch with my PS3. Sorry to hear about yours. My system is to have five save files. I save files A & B right after a game then save frequently to file B during the week. On Friday or Saturday (after practice and negotiations are through) I save to a Gameday file. After the game I save to files C & D and then save fequently to file D during the week and saving to Gameday on Friday or Saturaday. The next week I go back to files A & B. That way if a file gets corrupted with freezes I only lose a week.

One other thing, when gameplanning I swithc back to the clipboard frequently if I don't see a play I want to practice. Don't go back to gameplan too fast or you might get the audio freeze. I wait for a minute to click off the clipboard before I press X again.

It sounds like you are not using the quick save feature rathe pausing the game and going to the save menu that way is that correct?

If so I will try saving that way instead of quick save. It usually freezes during quick save initializing not at actual save or my game save file would be corrupted and not load later. The other freeze is during play creator and testing the play after 2 or 3 different defenses/offensive plays and reentering the editor. Othe than those so far so good. I am addicted.

I quick save during the week. I do the pause save deal when I do the "gameday" save and save over files right after the game. I've not had a freeze during quick save and usually in play creator I only create one play at a time then get out.
Yesterday I had a freeze (1st in a long time) at the 2:00 warning at the end of the game. I had an emotional response the warning and steal plays trying to load at the same time.

I got this game for Christmas for Xbox 360. Downloaded the update when I popped it in. First season as Saints with Reggie Bush and Deuce McAllister at RB only a couple of fumbles (5 total I think). Second season with Reggie and Deuce again led the league in fumbles but nothing I would consider astounding (14 fumbles). Third season with Reggie and rookie Ivan Resby at RB I'm an currently in game 4 and I already have 12 fumbles in 4 games! It seems to be getting to the ridicuous point. Anyone else still having fumbling issues after the update?

I keep an eye on fatigue so I know that isn't the problem since I use a 2 RB system. Resby's carrying skill is on par with Deuce's so shouldn't be a big difference there.
