Retail game freezes...just like demo

[Nittany]

Same problem...nice fix EA.

I have read that its a hard drive issue or internet cable...blah blah.

I have had my 360 since day 1. Never had any problem playing any game before. Never had to pull out a hard drive or yank cables. Never.

This is inexcusable. EA knew about the problem with the Demo...actually acknowledged it...and did nothing to fix the retail.

Stinks about losing the custom music...but I am going to exchange for PS3 version....unless anyone has a fix?

Have you tried clearing your cache? I never had a lockup on the demo.

Exact same problem here. I even cleared the cache and did the steps EA said to do for the demo. The game only works without the HD. Nice work EA

Same problem too. EA needs to fix this asap.

According to http://forum.ea.com/eaforum/posts/list/237088.page
The community manager says its less and .05% so i question whether they'll bother to patch it anytime soon if at all. I am going to see if gamestop will let me switch to the ps3 version.

I dont understand how that works. are .05% of the disks broken? is .05% some type of random number thrown out there to seem as minimal as possible? I have the game unopened waiting till I get home to play it but im already getting concerned, I didnt know of any freezing issues prior to now.

There were issues with the Demo too. I couldnt play the demo on the 360 if my HD was in. EA thinks its a online issue but it isnt. It has to do with the HD.

It works without the HD so its not the disc but how the game interacts with the HD. And for that matter- Gamestop basically told me to go F myself. I can only exchange the game for the same 360 version.
