NCAA Football 13 Freezing? Post All Details Here

[NEOPARADIGM]

I think not skipping any cutscenes or studio updates has a positive effect. No science for this, though.

Anyway, bumping because I've been having a hard time finishing games. If I had to guess I've spent more than 20, possibly 30 "games" worth of time on my current Dynasty (offline, one user) and I'm just now trying to play Ohio State for the first time (year one, last game of reg. season), and of course it froze (third try). So here I am posting about it.

Yeah.

This is clearly the #1 "issue" with this game, btw. I wouldn't keep trying if I wasn't happy with much everything else. FIX THIS ISH EA!

Skipping the Gametrack animation by pausing before it has a chance to start completely fixes that freezing problem. 20+ games worth of testing to back this up.

EA..........Please fix this freezing issue!!!!! I'm in 2016 of my offline dynasty and just finished my first game of season with a big win to only get to the still shots at the end of the game and BAM I freeze up yet again! Guys you have a great game here IMO. The only thing that is killing it is this stupid freezing problem. I can live with the other issues myself and love the game, but this is quickly killing the experience. Hey I don't even want to play another game of it now after this freeze. This was the first time I have been hit by it after the game was completed. In most cases it has been half time for me. Anyway.........how about stop with the uniform updates until you can get the game fixed. Honestly new uniforms are not worth a damn to me when I'm constantly having to restart games due to it crashing. To sum things up IMO if the freezing issue was fixed I would give the game atleast an 8 on a 1-10 scale, but as it is now and yes I'm frustrated I'm leaning towards 0. Starting to wish I hadn't spent my hard earned money on it.

I am now on copy 6. Games will start freezing about 2 weeks after getting a new copy. I return them, they work and process starts all over. Mostly freezes at game track scenes but the last 2 copies have froze during the end game celebrations.

I contacted EA sports (I know I shouldn't have expected much and didn't) and you should see their response. Ridiculous.

It's a decent game and I've loved playing online dynasties with friends but there are enough other games out there to get me by.

There's a simple way around the Gametrack freezing. Are you pressing A to advance through the animations at the end of the game? I've only encountered freezes when doing that. I let them all play out until after the play of the game animation is over then I press A and let the 4 still frames roll through. Haven't had a freeze since I started doing that.

I have had 2 freezes when creating players in my dynasty. I can get the first name in, but after i enter the last name and save...freezes. I then have to restart and everything works fine. Not a game breaker and i can see not as bad as others i have read, but still annoying none the less.

Thought I had a good fix with skipping then low and behold it starts freezing as soon as the game ends. Clock hits zero game freezes.

I've done both. Still had issues both ways.
