Ok I'm just wondering if anyone else has this game cause I've run into a problem with it. Basically, it keeps crashing.
The first time I played through and won the world cup with England, everything was fine, I then started a game with Spain, got half way through and saved.
Now, a few days later I went back to it and if you've played the game you'll know about the loading screen with the spinning ball you get in the corner. Well I got to the final with Spain and when I went to enter it, the loading screen came up and the ball started spinning. Halfway through loading, the ball stopped spinning and of course I though "oh crap". Just to make sure it wasn't perfectly normal for the ball to stop, I went and got a drink and stuff, but when I came back, there was no change - the game had crashed on me.
To make sure if it was the game or my X-Box, I took it to my mates house and it did exactly the same thing in a group stage match. I was England that time. I looked at the disk and there wasn't a scratch on it. After this happening a few times I'd had enough and took it back to the shop and there were no problems in me changing it. I played as Brazil and got to the quarter finals where I ended up getting eliminated, but I took it that it worked. Unfortunatly last night I play again as Brazil, got to the quarter finals and it bloody crashed during loading again !
Has anyone else had this trouble ?? I mean I really don't think its the X-Box because I play all my other games and I've never had any trouble with them. I even played Legends of Wrestling for a few hours straight after last night and there wasn't a hint of trouble. But at the same time, there isn't a mark on the disk to give it reason to do it either. Could it be shoddy programming from EA ?
I'll probably call the shop about it again today and see what they say. I want a football game and I like this Fifa game, but I can't keep this game when its just gonna do this all the time. An obvious thing to do is save after every match I play - but Fifa isn't shy when it comes to taking up blocks on the hard drive and even though theres tons of space, I don't want to use hundreds of blocks to save a game like Fifa if you know what I mean. I just want to save what I have to cause its comes up as one save on the X-Box hard drive so I can't seem to delete individual saves as far as the different games go.
So anyway, if anyone else has Fifa on the X-Box, please tell me if you've encountered any problems cause this is doing my head in.

yeah i still kept it but i think gun metal is amazin its one of the best xbox games yet
Its ashame really cause I liked the game. Maybe EA will do something about it. Mind you its pretty much done its job now as EA were no doubt just looking in to cash in on the World Cup so it probably won't sell as well now that the tournament is over.
Yeah I didn't think it was my X-Box cause it plays everything else fine. My guess is that theres a bug or something in the game that EA have missed somehow. I ended up changing Fifa for Gun Metal. I liked Fifa but I didn't see much point in keeping a game thats giving me so much problems.
i have had the same problem i took it back 3 times its not the x box.
I can't remember where I read it [could have been in a mag, on the net or on Digitiser], but someone else was complaining about FIFA crashing all the time....
