Playstation 2 question...

.....FIFA '08 soccer (EA Sports) freezes up when the kids play it, forcing them to re-start the game.....it's a new disc, in a new PS 2, so age isn't a factor.

Any suggestions to fix problem?

Other games we got for Xmas seem to be working fine.

Thanks

 

Hmmm.... I haven't had any problems with the slim ps2s reading new games.

You could try turning on the console diagnostic but as the instructions say it hardly works....

 

Buy an XBox 360

 

I did some quick google searching and apparently it's a very common problem. Sounds like a problem with the coding on the actual disc, so I don't think getting another copy will help. If they can play from a different saved game, you could try that, but it doesn't seem like there's a lot you can do about it.

 

EA makes the occasional shitty disk. You can call them to see if they will replace it, as they occasionally do for people. I'd still just see if it is the disk, like rent it from somewhere to compare.
