It's the only game I have played (96 games to be exact) on PS3 that constantly freezes. I can't play 2 matches without having to restart the console :/
I'm resetting my HDD now (because it worked for a friend and I suppose it's worth a try) so hopefully that will fix that but if it doesn't I've backed up
I would get a new PS3 if Sony/Microsoft actually announced a release date for the next gen consoles. I know, the day I go out and buy a new PS3, Sony will announce the PS4 for this Xmas XD
