XBOX 360, PLaying a dynasty with Nebraska. Could not get past week six vs Boise St. Simmed that, and finished the season. After going thru offseason, and ready to start season 2, game would not load from start screen I had to erase and start over.

I don't know if this is related, but the first time I turned my xbox on after already having the update, my xbox now freezes at the dashboard. Never happened before, and now I have to send it in to get fixed. I didn't have any freezes when I was playing after the update though. If this update did kill my xbox, I will be pissed.

All, thanks for posting your issues in an organized manner. I've been passing them along to the dev team and they're investigating. I'll let you guys know once I have more information.

- In attempting to play a game in dynasty, it freezes up in the loading screen, usually at the "power tip" or "coaching tip" screen. However I have been able to remedy this by placing my controller in the middle, on neither of the teams, until after the coin toss. However my other freezing issue is that in my dynasty, offline week four with Ohio State by the way, the game freezes up every time I attempt to enter recruiting usually at the "loading data" or "loading recruiting info screen"

Console: PS3
Online/Offline: Both, mostly offline
Mode: Offline practice mode and occasionally the end of user vs user lobby games
PSN: TXHusker25

The practice mode freeze happens as the offense approaches the line of scrimmage. Right as they get set, it freezes. I cannot replicate it consistently, so I don't know if it is tied to anything, but it has happened about 10 times, before and after the patch. I am able to use the PS button to quit the game, but it freezes on the black screen and I am forced to hard reset.

The online lobby game freezes happen at the very end of the game. The final whistle sounds and the game instantly goes black and freezes. I can hear the drumlines and music of the main menus, but the game is frozen and doesn't do anything. I am forced to use the PS button to quit the game, but again, it freezes on the black screen and I am forced to hard reset.

I do not have dynasty freezes because I have not yet begun a dynasty. These are completely unrelated to dynasty mode and they are crippling to my system. These freezes and the corresponding hard resets have corrupted my hard drive and ruined my system to the point where it doesn't consistently run the game and gives me a disk error every so often.

It was halftime, and I left the room briefly to say something to my girlfriend. I come back not even a minute later, and the screen is stuck on this.

I would say "Thanks, EA". But EA is so stupid they don't understand sarcasm.

Mode: Creating custom playbook
PSN: TXHusker25

Just encountered a new freeze for the first time, while creating a custom playbook. I was about an hour and 15 formations into it when it froze and caused me to lose all my work. No buttons would work and I couldn't even use the PS button to quit. The entire system just locked up. So now I get to redo the entire thing.

Ugh this is getting so out of control. EA, PLEASE realize these freezes are game wide, not just dynasty.

When I got the game on opening night. No patches, No Tuner updates. I played through a full year of my offline dynasty, RG3 heisman mode (completed it), RTG mode upto week 5 of freshman year, in which I played every highschool game as a QB all the way to the state champ.

Now after the patches and tuner updates the game freezes constanly. It doesn't matter what screen. Last night I was updating my recruiting board in a new OD I joined. It froze. PS3 button worked, but nothing else.

Basically, the game ran perfectly fine for me before anything was patched or any tuners came out.

The only thing other than base game is a custom playbook. This happened while on defense and I have the vanilla 4-3 defense playbook

By the way, this is by far the worst experience I have ever had with a game.

Game will freeze at the loading screen for a game. I will wait about 10 minutes, the loading circle won't budge and the xbox menu wont be brought up when I hold down the center button.

Where does it happen exactly? While scouting athletes mainly. I've frozen 10+ times while scouting, all on athletes. It shows the grades unlocked just fine. All of the freezes have come after pushing A to leave the scouting screen.
I've had a few other recruiting freezes as well. 1 when pushing the RS to bring up team needs. Another while viewing details of an athlete and pushing LB to switch from skills to schools tab.
