Need For Speed Most Wanted will not launch, says it is still loading

So yesterday I play Need For Spped Most Wanted on my Xbox 360 like it was any normal day. Today I have been trying to play and it  asked me if I wanted to log into the origin and I said no because I just wanted to play single player. So I logged into Origin and it still said it was loading. Then finally after that It said there was an update, so I sat there waiting for 2 hours waiting for the update to get done. Then I loaded the game back up and it still shows that it is loading, and it never loads. What should I do to fix this problem? It is super frustrating and I have not had any problems with the game untill now. The disc looks very clean and I cleaned it just incase. If you have any solutions please help.

    @NateD101 

    If you have never played online/multiplayer then your GamerTag is not linked to your Origin Account yet.

    This is what I  have noticed when checking your account. This is not the issue here but I recommend linking Your Gamertag and Origin Account

    Alright try this workaround  please:


    Need for Speed: Most Wanted - Xbox 360 update error

    If you are experiencing an issue after downloading the latest update for the Xbox 360 version of Need for Speed: Most Wanted, the following troubleshooting steps should assist you in resolving this.

    1. Find and open the Storage Device section located on your Xbox 360 Dashboard
    2. Open the Games and Applications section of your Storage Device menu
    3. Locate the entries for the Need for Speed: Most Wanted Online Pass and the Ultimate Speed Pack DLC
    4. Delete both of these entries. Note: You do not have to delete any save game progress as part of these steps.
    5. Start the game once more and another prompt to download the update will appear.
    6. Select 'Yes' to begin downloading the update.
    7. Once the update is complete, please exit the game completely back to the Xbox 360 Dashboard.
    8. Navigate to the 'Settings' pane on the dashboard.
    9. Select 'Account' followed by 'Download History'
    10. Locate the entry for your Need for Speed: Most Wanted Online Pass and download it once more.


    Once you have successfully downloaded the online pass, please start the game as usual and you should no longer be prompted for an update.
