This has worked on ps3 for Madden 25 and Madden 15 for freezing after games while loading to menu or connected franchise menu. I've seen countless people with this issue. Thought I'd help.
1)When the game is over, click quit and then NO.
2)Do something, either look at recap or options or something. Let a few seconds pass.
3)Go back to quit, press NO. Then go back to quit, press YES. (You do not have to do it twice after the first freeze fix)
Your ps3 may freeze soon after you get back to the menu after your FIRST fix, so SAVE right away . After this, it should not happen anymore.
While it adds a few seconds to leaving a game, it is well worth it, and after a while you'll press YES and it will work fine.
Please pass this on, you can all see how pervasive this problem is.
Let me know how it works. I don't think it's a coincidence it has worked on 25 and 15. I DO NOT KNOW XBOX 360 EFFECTIVENESS.
ADMINISTRATOR- If you've confirmed this, please make your own post and tack it to the top of boards for the rest of us pitiful souls that trusted EA with another $60.

I was able to get through 5 games without freezing at the end. Not sure if this helped or I just got lucky...
First off I deleted all Madden '12, 25 and '15 game files that the game installs on the system, I also deleted all the saves, profile, ect.. files. I just got the game so none of the saves were important to me, you may want to back them up and try reloading later if the game starts working.
After that I ran the game and downloaded the game update. I didnt do this before because the day I got the game my wifi wasnt working so I couldnt download the update or new rosters. After that the game installed the files it needs to before starting.

Now I just enconterd a problem where I went to view the game recap and my controller stoped working..???? The game wasnt frozen it just wouldnt do anything when I pressed buttons. I tried turning the controller off and even tried other controllers. Ended up just having to quit the game and go back to XMB. WTF.. I'm ready to return my game to amazon.
I am also having major freeze problems while trying to enter into the MUT Solo Challenge. Usually happens at least once every other game. It has become very annoying restarting the ps3 this often. PLEASE HELP!!!

Terminating a game in Madden freezes my PS3 beyond the ability to soft reset the machine via XMB. In fact, in order to turn the machine off, I have to hold the power button for about 30 seconds, because it's too jacked up to perform the regular forced panic shutdown.

anyone know if the freezing issue has been resolved? I quit trying to play games because of it, and I won't again until I know it won't freeze. Too much time spent already. Very frustrating.

Nope, literally just happened to me a couple hours ago. Hence how I ended up on here...
- Anonymous11 years agoStill happening. Still a deafening silence from EA. Franchise mode is now completely unplayable. Finish a game, and my entire PS3 locks up. I've tried every fix in this thread, and then some. An unbelievable bug EA doesn't even seem to be acknowledging. This was my first time by Madden in five years. Probably my last time buying it, too.

I have played about 40 games since the update came out last week and not a single game has froze. Only a few times I havn't used the exit game trick. So either that is working really well for me or the update fixed something. I hardly ever tried the exit game trick before, so I don't know what fixed it.
When it asks if I want to exit, I select no the first time.
