      The game has frozen on me and cut off twice and when I try to restart it the next 1-2 times it'll say an error occurred. Is anybody else having this problem. I'm so pissed right now...

      Now hopefully only a 12 or 13 hour wait for UPS, and not a 15 or 16 hour wait.

      NCAA Football Orchestrates games. This happens a lot in user games. I could tell you horror stories from the other side of that game winning by 4 scores at halftime and losing a game. It was so bad last year it dissolved our dynasty when in the second half one guy had 3 points scored on him in 5 user games. All of which he was down at least 3 scores at halftime. So either he is the most awesome second half player of all-time even though his strategy never changed but his team went into "super awesome" mode. But they do it for moments like this. Hey, some people wait a lifetime.

      Just opened my game and there's a card w/ a code for on-line play but there's no booklet! Nothing that explains what buttons apply to what, etc. Is this something new or did I just get a screwy copy? Granted, I am intelligent enough to figure it all out... but how can a game not have a booklet? I just don't get that.

      It's all in-game now. EA's doing it with all of their games.

      Yeah, I just found it. Any Mod wishing to toss this thread overboard, please feel free to do so!

      I've frozen twice now. Once in the front end and once at the end of an online game prior to loading to the stats section. I'm on the 360.

      are you talking about the game/disc itself or just being cut off of online play?

      My game had just gone final and it was loading to the final menu where you check stats and stuff. That's where I froze.

      Running the option is hard. I don't know if it's just the teams I have been using or that it's just a lot harder. I can't get to the outside and if I do, I get some really bad pitches being made despite no contact on my QB.

      Passing is more difficult too. It feels like there are 20 defenders on the field at all times when I drop back. This is probably a symptom of my poor recognition of the defense, etc. Hopefully the game will slow down for me a little and I will get more comfortable with passing.

      Play action works. This is a huge positive.

      The playbooks I used felt bare. I didn't see a lot of passing concepts that I liked. I'm really looking forward to creating a custom book.

      I've read about freezing and problems on the 360 version on OS. They said it's better if you install it to your HDD. Have you guys tried that?
