Hi, I have same problem.
The problem starts about 2 days ago, have played for a week earlier without problem.
Game freezed at loading screen, the screen goes at 1 frame per 10 seconds and i can't access XMB menu, after hard restart the save has been corrupted so I created new save, the more I play (more progress) the more loading screen freezes at boot.
Tried everything (checking hard disk, rebuilding PS3 database, deleting NFSMW data, redownloading 1.0.3 patch), nothing works except disabling ethernet connection, without internet connection game loaded fast without any glitch.
If someone can do something with this problem i would be verry happy.
