yah i forgot about the freezing, this game is beta...

anyways to fix your freezing i beleave the problem is you have to open up the ports, since they arn't open madden just keeps trying to connect and freezes out...i guess EA didn't have enough money to put a little bit of codeing in there to time it out and pop up a message telling you it can't connect......

I have been having multiple problems with my Madden '09(s) yes that is multiple. I have now had three and am going to take it back for good now until I read about an update fixing this.. When do my maddens freeze well i will tell you.... i call a play and it stays on the play call screen and you hear Collinsworth talking about how i just got sacked. also, when i try to play online nope it freezes when the icons pull away. what about when i try and do virtual training not in the transition between plays. Now i know what you are thinking " your PS3 must be old and your ready for a new one." yea i thought that too but when i am in these freezes i can go back to my XMB and tell everyone how my madden is frozen at the moment...

I would look out before you buy....

so far i have only had problems with my madden freezing up when i try to enter the lobbies online but then again i have only played like a total of 4 or 5 games since i bought it and now i'm about to play it with a friend of mine and start a franchise..i guess i'll see what it does now...it seems like with every game the ps3 comes out with it has some sort of freezing problem...i'm getting real tired of this

well the only time mine has frozen was when trying to enter the lobby and my friend just left and we played twice against eachother and it didn't freeze and now i can access the online lobbies everytime i attempt too. I think the reason why we can't get into the lobbies at certain times cause too many people are on and its causing problems...everyone who is reading this now try to enter the online lobbies now and let me know the results

i played madden 03 and it froze my ps3 to a black screen. xmb did not work, the power switch also did not work. had to switch it off at the power block....so sad that even madden 03 did such a thing....was the coding really that hard?

Thanks Polly Positive Parvie, we can all wait quietly for the patch.

I also had a freeze at the instant you chose to enter the lobby, took it back, got a new one and it just barely catches and proceeds to the lobby. I guess I got lucky.

The Dolphins have a 4-3 defense as the default when they are going to TRY to run a 3-4 this year. Any way to change that?

No issues exp with mine xcept ppl quiting like BIT***s with 30 secs left in game. EA servers do suck, I play on my 360 C&C and I play a game and then after it is over i cant reconnect to play another session. :x

they really should be allowing people to create their own servers these days as an option.
