I've got the ps2 version and i have played about 5 hours all up since yesterday arvo and it has frozen 2 times in the menus and it has frozen once during play and it has done that thing where no-one moves but you can still change player and pause the game and stuff twice.

so in about 5 hours of play the game has f***ed up times. it is incredibly annoying. id say that the beta testers havent done their jobs right. im not happy having paid for a game that freezes every hour or so. its a waste of my time. HEY VODKA WHY DIDNT YOU DO YOUR JOB CORRECTLY?! ;-)

or your PS2 is overheating.

yeah my ps2 is hotter than hell!! how the crikey do i stop that from happening?

:evil: Mine froze on me on the 3rd game of S.O.O and I was winning 18-12 on League God with about 10 seconds left and it froze... :evil: :evil: :evil:

Not a happy person!

Main reason why I don't like console gaming as much...

Multiplayer is fun... but they overheat way too easy unless you alter the system yourself, as I have with my PS2.

Mine froze again last night. It is a new PC so I'm pretty sure that isn't the problem.

Every time the game freezes, it is in a break of play - after I had attempted a field goal; after Barrett had kicked the ball into touch. This sounds like a software/code error rather than a hardware problem.

I have PC version and it has never frozen. Sometimes individual players have become stuck, that's it.
I have a pretty top notch computer, so that's why I don't have problems. I suggest PC users with problems should update their graphics card drivers.

Freezing has only happened on my computer (which is only a year old) at a break of play (straight after kicking into touch, straight after attempting a field goal etc.) which shows a pattern that sounds like a software problem rather than a hardware problem that would be more random.

If the game is dropping out to the desktop or 'freezing' (as in the game stops completely) on PC, then you should be able to fix the problem with driver updates.

That does happen to me on a very rare occasion (Infact it has only happened once) But I had lots of really neat problems after I got bored and edited the .exe file and some other data files... So don't do that and you'll run fine.
