How do i fix this. Thanks

Yeah, I have the same problem. Only way around it is to not log into XBOX Live before you boot up Fifa. Then once Fifa loads, just start the game without signing in so you can get past the Rooney screen without the game freezing. Once you are at the menus you can log into Xbox Live then go to the profiles section and load your profile then set it as the lead profile. Once you get done with that just sign into the EA Servers and you are good to go. It sounds complicated, but it's not as bad as it sounds.

This was happening to me as well. I did some research and found that there seems to be a problem with User Generated Content (UGC). I believe there was supposed to have been a patch that addressed this, but it still happens to me. If you go to your storage, prior to firing up the game, and delete any UGC files you have, it will load fine. Then, just go to the Creation Center and re-download whatever it was (created team, tournament, etc.). Sucks that you have to do that every time, but it's the only solution I've found and it works.
