I HAVE THE SOLUTION!
You are not going to like it tough. I didnt have internet access for a week, so I played a couple of seasons of Madden without the update or updated rosters or ea ticker. My game never froze.... So yesterday I hooked my ps3 up to the internet, downloaded the update and new roster. Now my connected franchise always freezes in the loading screen after each game. So after hours of trial and error, I figured out that it has to do with the patch and the EA ticker. So this is what you need to do to fix it:
1. Delete the game data utility from your ps3.
2. Disconnect your ps3 from the internet.
3. Start Madden and never play the game while you have internet access.
4. It will never freeze again.
This means that you cannot play online games or get updated rosters.... I know it sucks.. This is just a temp fix until EA does their jobs and fixes the **bleep** game that they put out. I hope this helps everyone.
