Reports are emerging
left and
right
that Madden NFL 06 is crashing PSPs in franchise mode for a large number of the game's owners.
Franchise-mode play is leading to random(?) system shutdowns for the PSP, forcing those who attempt some semblance of
a season mode to save every quarter, if not sooner, to avoid losing a game's worth of progress. EA has been made aware
of the situation, but it will still take some time to produce any sort of quick fix (with the hope that one is
eventually made).
We've seen some hilarious player-size issues with
Madden (and
NCAA) on home
consoles, but these latest issues with the portable version of EA's popular series are really making some people angry.
Can EA manage some sort of downloadable fix, or will the company be forced to issue a costly recall to replace
defective copies of the game? In the meantime, game owners are waiting (and fuming).
[Thanks, Pure Platinum, court, and
Dave, for sending this in!]
