Madden 15 ps3 freezing after every game

I've also had the issue with Madden 15 freezing while playing offline franchise mode. I experienced this with prior Maddens but none this frustrating. I was considering purchasing the PS4 and this being my first game but at this point I'm just dissappointed that EA has not addressed this issue knowing it exhisted already. I had the same experience as many others as when I attempted to return it the game was already open, so no glory there. I was rather insulted by Gamestop offering to purchase it, like they were doing me a favor, for $35. I want to know if EA or whoever is fielding all this is actually going to do anything or just continue to rip us football fans off!
