Battlefield 4 not starting to main menu Ps3

Every time I open Battelfield 4 and press start on the controller my Ps3 starts to load but never stops. The small icon on the top right with the three bars blinks so it seems to be loading. I waited for an hour and a half once. Unfortunately I know exactly why, and that was because at the time I had to go right then and couldnt find the controller so I (bum Bum BUMMMM) shut it off by pressing the button. Stupid, I know.... but I just want to know how and even if there is any way to fix it because obviously there was some data corruption going on there. Ty

    Heya all,

    Apologies for the late reply. If you are still experiencing this issue, I would like to suggest to check this workaround provided by araboys here

    I found this and it worked for me, some of the sounds, like guns seem to be missing though:

    "Okay - mine did it again today, even though it worked yesterday. I then got it going again. 

    I tried deleting the save game data and restarting - no joy. 

    I don't know WHY this worked, but is the same as I did the other day and I forgot one step. 

    I play GT6 a lot, so I have a wheel plugged in, I also have a Tuact controller attached wirelessly, and then my DS3. 

    I started GT6, the same as the other day, which meant I had to change the DS3 to be controller <1> as GT6 will only recognise that. I saved and quit from GT6. I deleted my BF4 save game data. I started BF4, set the screen and it worked. 

    It seems to depend on the controller number that is used to start the game. 

    I just restarted my PS3, started BF3 with the DS3 (controller <3>) and it stopped at the rainy screen. 

    I pressed the PS button and changed the DS3 to be controller <1>. I then returned to the game, pressed PS again and QUIT the game. 

    I restarted the game with the DS3 now Controller <1> and it worked. 

    Can someone else try the same thing? It fixes it for me. I thought it was something to do with GT6, then realised it was the controller re-assignment that was fixing it for me." courtesy of RiEvEr_EU

    So basically, make your controller #1 and kill away.
