the laser on your bluray is dying it needs replacing

EAsports says that there is a new roster update that will help this problem. I had the same exact problem when i would try and head into the offseason.
Their answer was that "there weren't enough players in the free agent pool". and that's why the game is freezing.
so, there are, you have to download the new roster update and start a new franchise

Try Disconnecting the router or get a new rotuer i suggest the Wireless - G its a very quick router it has boradband and wireless and it has a Speed Booster. its better than the other 1s but its a 2007 model probably a better 1 out there but i suggest this 1 for about 10 - 20 bucks the brand is Linksys the model is WRT54GS.

This sounds like you guys have discovered a bug, or glitch ... whilst i know this is very annoying if you love your console and games as much as i do, you want a fast easy fix ... and you want it yesterday.

Due to the nature of your complaint, and the fact that one other person has discovered a similar problem with the same game, i would firstly contact the software developer ( the guys who made it ) and ask them for a fix or as we say "patch" to help iron out this problem.

Get online at easports and register and perhaps take a look at the forums.

Games will always have glitches and bugs, ea have been around for ages so their support team should be "on the ball" with problems like this =)

When I first started the game I think remember downloading a update. But I think it was a roster update. How do you download the up date?

This is a three man franchise league. When we got to week 17 of the first season and played our games, that was the last time the franchise would save. After reaching the playoffs playing my game the franchise would not save at all. It would freeze up. Then if you try to simulate the playoffs. It would freeze up. After playing with it we were able to get to the end, but when advancing to the off-season it would freeze up. Finally, figured out when we got to pro bowl to save it and it worked no freeze-ups. We were able to advance to the off season after that, did all off-season stuff and got to the preseason. Now when trying to simulate preseason it will freeze up. What the heck.

Madden 09 itself has a lot of issues. EA is supposed to come up with a patch to fix the freezing issue for Madden 09.
There are a lot of unhappy madden 09 owners outh there.

As far as freezing on any game that sounds like a bluray diode issue or overheating issues.
keep the console in a well vented are (maybe even add a small portable fan from walmart that can help cool down your system.

This sounds like you might have a dirty lens. clean your ps3's lens with any CD/DVD cleaner kit and then try to play the game again.

same problem m8, read that sony are having a problem with the plasystation network :( we need to wait ...

The PS3s' DVD and Blu-Ray player is region locked. This means that your Australian PS3 can only play DVD and Blu-Ray movies made for the region Australia is in or are region free (region code 0).

For DVD's, Australia is region code 4.
For Blu-Ray, Australia is region code B or region code 2.

Although this doesn't help your current problem, the PS3 is region free for PS3 games (you can play games from any region).

To work around this, I propose either ripping the DVD to your computer, then burning it onto a different DVD or streaming the DVD directly from your computer to the PS3. Streaming is definitely the better bet if you have more DVD's from another region.

To rip and burn your own copy, use a blank DVD disc and DVD burning/ripping software such as Nero.

To stream to your PS3, check out the following:
PS3 Media Server (my personal favorite) for PC
TVersity for PC
MediaLink for Mac

Enjoy your movie (hopefully)!

This most likely means that you did not buy the north american formatted game .

There are certain games that may be classified as some sort of special edition games. These games which you have listed above can be said to fall into this category.
Majority of these games are made specially and specifically for some systems or console.
The only sure way to be sure if your disc is damaged or not is to try playing it on another console and see if it gives the same error.
If it does give the same error, you can be sure that the disc is really spoiled and the only thing to do is to try to fix it or get a new one.
On the other hand, if it doesn't show this error, you could check to make sure that is possesses the same region code as the region code of the disc that your console is designed to work with.
This is a sure way to know if your disc is bad or isn't just compatible.
Although, it is most likely that the problem is coming from the disc and not your console as other discs work
Let me know how far you went with this problem.

Hi there.

The PlayStation Network is down at the moment. This started 2 day ago. Sony Entertainment is working on this. The code is from Sony and nothing to do with you system. No update yet from SONY when the problem will be fixed but they're doing their best to fix this ASAP.

Thank you!
