NCAA Football 13 Freezing? Post All Details Here

These occur at change of possession so, for example, after every kickoff I immediately pause the game once the play is over and that forces the game to skip the Gametrack animation altogether. I haven't had a single freeze since I started doing this, and I'm a bit surprised it took me this long to figure this out. I can actually play entire games now without worrying about losing them in the 4th quarter. Just remember though it's all change of possessions that you need to worry about, not just kickoffs. For me the Gametrack animation usually starts showing up somewhere in the 2nd quarter so I usually start doing it at the beginning of the quarter just to be safe.

So this def works? And game track only happens after change of possession? This might be a possible fix despite how pathetic that is that we have to do that.

Where does it happen exactly? When viewing a highlight.

I hope they don't leave this freezing problem unresolved, like they did with NCAA Basketball 10.

Since doing this I have yet to see a Gametrack animation and consequently have yet to encounter a freeze. Seems to be working perfectly provided you remember to do it as it is pretty easy to forget. I know some others have had freezing issues at the end of games, but I just let the animation role all the way through the play of the game before pressing A to advance. And I let the still frames play themselves out as well. This seems to alleviate that problem. Can't say for sure that it will always work, but I do feel more confident about the Gametrack fix. Won't have any problems with it causing a freeze if you never give it a chance to happen.

You really shouldn't have to , they fixed the freezing last year with the very last update so I'm hoping it shouldn't be too difficult to fix the glitch this year....one can hope

It works if you want to play now without worrying about freezes. I've made it through a full season in my dynasty without a single issue thus far after I stumbled on this fix.

Just bought this game and a PS3 Saturday. Read about the freezes but never thought I would get hit with it in my first game of my Dynasty.

I am using Western Kentucky as DC in my Dynasty and in the first game we were playing Kent. Playing 10 min qtrs. At the end of the 1st half I am up 17-7 and Kent scores a late TD (only a few seconds left). I am then advised that my MLB suffered a slight injury and asked if I would like to replace him. I clicked yes. Immediatly another screen opens and informs me the previous play is under review and not to SIM the next play until the review is complete. Then, nothing. I waited 5 minutes and restarted NCAA 2013. Replayed the game and lost 34-19. Dang.

Where does it happen exactly? The game freezes repeatedly at the end of the national championship, during the "play of the game" highlight. Was able to duplicate. Freeze occurred in the same spot each time. Had to sim game to advance week.

Also, in the same dynasty, I've been experiencing freezes during the Coaching Carousel. It happened after Year 2 and Year 3 of my dynasty. I'm unable to advance through all the coaching changes unless I skip to the end, meaning I'm completely out of luck if I want a job that happens to come up in the second half of the list.

What a shi tty game when we have to come up with ways to play it. Pause it after every possession just so it won't lock up. I will do this but it is pathetic.

I am so pissed at EA right now. I have bought this title every year since 1999. They will NOT get another dollar from me. What a horrible company. They have the consumer beta test their games and now we have to come up with ways to play it so it will work. Pathetic!
