How has this not been addressed yet? I quick google search of "NBA Live Free Throw Freeze" will produce all the information you need to see. I've had this game since it got released to the vault. I've played about 7 games of Rising Star and this has happened in 3 of those games. Why would I continue to play this game if all my progress can just vanish on a bug that's been in the game since the release date?
Being a QA Analyst this is a disgrace that something like this that is such a negative experience to the game could remain for so long. This is a symptom of improper testing and bug fixing.
