EA says: Xbox Arcade or 4G slim models are not able to handle Madden 13, possibly

[REEFIS]

Has anyone had success playing this game if you own either of the two models? I just got off the phone with EA and they basically said my Arcade model likely doesn't have enough memory to run Madden 13, as it had the same issue with Madden 12. They're only advice would be to buy a different model Xbox... another user at the EA forums also was told the same thing. Please if you havn't purchased the game yet or know someone who might, check what model of Xbox you own. It's not going to work for the lower end XBOX models. If it does work, please share. I would think there are tons of people experiencing the same issues who have these models of Xboxs.

I for one will probably opt to trade this game then to waste money on a new system, when I have ZERO problems with any game other than Madden...

is anyone here able to play the game successfully for an extended period of time on any of the Xbox model types?

I have the 4GB slim model, have been running madden just fine

Did they specify whether or not a hard drive makes the difference? Because I have a 250GB xbox hard drive

couldn't you just buy the 320GB hard drive instead of buying a new xbox?

it runs it just fine..I think they talking about replays because of the lack of harddrive

i should have specified. the 4gb slim is the model with the problems. I get freezes without the hard drive attached. How would increasing HDD size cure all these bugs. I would need proof before actually trying that.

Mine was a 4GB slim that I just bought a 250GB HD for. Works just fine....

[REEFIS]

well were you having the issues with the 4gb hard drive. I have a arcade model, note sure about the hard drive upgrade

[spyder_DG]

I never tried it with the 4GB HDD, I bought the 250GB HDD when I got my Xbox. Not even sure I still have the old one. What I'm saying though is I have a slim 4GB that I just upgraded the HDD on and it's fine.
