Day 1 Patch Installed: No
Game Mode: Franchise
Roster being used: Custom/Fantasy Draft
Teams: Custom (Yanks) v. Any
Stadium: Any
Start time for game: Day, Afternoon, Evening
Presentation Mode: 2k10
A button Pressed/Mashed: Yes and No (I generally tap "A" throughout the game to speed up play, but it freezes regardless)
Game situation: End of play, between innings, during play, replay, transition, etc. All of the above.
Inning: Maybe the 3rd, maybe the 7th, 8th, or 9th. Its a guessing game.
Pitcher: Any
Batter: Any
Baserunners: Occasionally

I just want to note that this is by far the best MLB 2K game to have ever existed. Having said that, the freezing and the glitching, its the same stuff year after year after year. I haven't made it through a single game in about a week (real time) without it freezing. Disc = Perfect condition. Most people who are really into sports games tend to care about Franchise mode. To me, this game is worthless without a working Franchise. Why have the same complaints been ignored by 2K for years now? This is a problem that dates back to as far as I can remember. If there were another baseball game worth 2 cents for XBOX 360 I would be done with 2K and I am assuredly not alone. New features are great, but can we get a game that actually works before we design new features to increase sells? If I weren't in college and had an income worth a damn I'd buy a PS3 just so I could play The Show. That's how bad 2K has been in regards to correcting the same lame problems year after year. I really hope they can change my mind with a resolution in the near future.

This is really making me mad, because this has happen to me at least 5 different times. MLB2K11 is the ONLY game that freezes on my system, I have the newest XBOX out. So I shouldn't be paying $60 for a game to freeze every time. Sorry I'm venting Lol, My player just went 3-5 and hit 2 homeruns and it froze, so you can understand I'm pretty angry.

Day 1 Patch Installed: Yes
Game Mode: My Player
Roster being used: Online Roster
Teams: Pirates
Stadium: Spring Training
Start time for game: Day
Presentation Mode: Default
A button Pressed/Mashed: N/A
Game situation: About to show the replay on my homerun, then it froze at the 2K sports replay screen.
Inning: 7th
Pitcher: N/A
Batter: My Player
Baserunners: N/A

Please get this fixed ASAP!

Day 1 Patch Installed: Y
Game Mode: Playball
Roster being used: Default
Teams: Rangers at Royals
Stadium: Royals
Start time for game: Day
Presentation Mode: Default
A button Pressed/Mashed: N
Game situation: strikeout via changeup, top of the 1st, 1 man out
Inning: 1st
Pitcher: don't remember
Batter: don't remember
Baserunners: at the corners

First game I played, sent a changeup into the dirt, batter chased. Game froze just as they were about to call strike three.

# 24 Jim Jones @ 04/21/11 03:32 AM

This happened right on a HR...the ball went over the fence and right as the announcers were about to kick in, it froze.

Day 1 Patch Installed: Yes
Game Mode: Franchise
Roster being used: LTrain8
Teams: Nationals vs. Braves
Stadium: Nationals Park
Start time for game: Day
Presentation Mode: Hurry Up
A button Pressed/Mashed: No
Game situation: Hitting
Inning: 3rd
Pitcher: Jonny Venters
Batter: Jerry Hairston Jr.
Baserunners: none

I should note also, this happened IMMEDIATELY AFTER I encountered a glitch in the game.. Danny Espinosa got injured sliding into second base on a double, so I brought in Hairston as a pinch runner, but instead of bringing him in as a pinch runner the game brought him in as a hitter in Espinosa's spot with the same count he had when he hit the double.

This is ridiculous. Pretty unimpressed after spending $60+ dollars on a game. Never have this problem with ANY other games. Last time I'll purchase a 2k sports game.

In addition, and this gets to the heart of this thread title, I was getting freezes at odd times, including trying to make a pitch! It's no fun when the game crashes/freezes and you have to start it over.

I'm with you on the zeroes glitch. My game froze last night for the first time since I started playing about 3 weeks ago. I was having a good game too. Very disappointing.

# 35 rvp16 @ 10/24/11 02:37 AM

I tried to play a game in Franchise mode (my team's the Yankees, PlayStation 3 version) against the Washington Nationals, and after the starting pitchers were displayed and the screen faded to black before the starting lineups, the screen remained black and the game froze. If there's a solution to this problem, help would be greatly appreciated.

# 36 rvp16 @ 10/24/11 02:38 AM

Also, in addition I'm still in Spring Training.

Does this happen again when you retry to the play the game?

It's weird. I haven't had a freeze in ages. Lucky I guess. Keeping my fingers crossed to stay that way.

What rosters you using? a 2k roster or a 2kshare roster?

# 39 shogunofharlem3 @ 10/24/11 02:58 PM

I am using default 2k rosters. I wonder if that has something to do with it. It shouldn't but who knows.

On NHL 2k10 if a team has 24/23 on a roster is 100% network errors online. I wonder if there is some weird GM Roster number issue on the Share rosters.

# 40 SycoMantis91 @ 05/19/12 12:51 AM

I know it's pretty late for this, but I'm poor and 2k11's still a solid game. anyway... The game continues to freeze on me every time I attempt to start a new franchise. Literally everything else I've tried works. All team management and player editing, exhibition games, loading a previously saved franchise, etc. haven't tried starting a My Player yet so I don't know about that. I have the most recent update and am using a (modified a tad by me, ratings were too outdated) 2K Share roster but it's under "Roster1" as opposed to "2K Share Roste". Anyone know why this might be happening? Also the game is in pretty decent shape.
