Madden 360 freezing up
I don't know if this has been talked about but does anybody else's Madden on the 360 freeze up constantly? For awhile it was freezing up on me almost every game, but it hadn't done it in awhile. Then tonight I was down 2 touchdowns starting the 4th quarter and came back and built up a 2 touchdown lead with a minute left to go and the God damn thing froze up again! It is so frustrating to spend an hour playing a game and then have it freeze up with 1 minute left to go. I would bring it back but a. I've heard it is a known problem with Madden so another one would probably do the same thing and b. I lost my frickin receipt. Just wanted to vent I guess.

I gave up on Madden. Too many bugs, including freeezes. The last one I encountered wasn't a total freeze. I could hear the crowd noise and the camera was panning around, it just wouldn't accept any input from my controller. I don't have any problems with any other games.
While I might buy NCAA, I don't intend to buy another Madden game. I don't care enough about NFL football and this one was just rushed so much that it kind of soured my opinion of the Madden franchise.

None of my other games (I guess I only have 2 others) freeze. Madden has frozen probably a dozen or more times just in the last week.

Ok. I've officially given up on Madden too. I just tried playing the Super Bowl for the 3rd time and it froze again. This time with about 3 minutes to go in the 4th. It's sad that it's only a week old and I NEVER want to play it again because the game simply isn't very good and because it's a miracle if I even finish a game without it freezing up. Nice Work Madden guys.

I was playing the Super Bowl this afternoon and it froze again and I haven't tried it again yet. It really isn't a very good game though. You can't challenge, can't mass sub, can't press another button and go back if you missed the the player you want to control and there are countless glitches like offsides for no reason, hitting the quarterback in the head when it didn't happen, receivers catching the ball out of bounds and being called in, receivers going out of bounds and coming back in and being allowed to catch the ball and so on. Hopefully NCAA will fix all the stuff that's wrong with Madden.
