I am just about to throw this game in the trash or get a refund. There has not been one day this has not frozen, this means it is a constant issue. I've cleaned my cache on my hard drive, unplugged m...

If you're on the 360, one possibility is a crammed hard drive. Due to the low amounts of RAM in the 360, I'm sure many games need to convert hard drive space into virtual memory, just like any Windows desktop. I always try to keep a minimum of 10GB of free space available at all times when I use my 360.

I generally start off with removing any game demos. Then I move on to any games that I no longer play or have finished playing. Just keep your game saves should you decide to download the game again and play it. I always look to see which games take up the most space and decide whether I'll play it or not.
Plenty of space. 198 gig free! So that's not it.
Have you tried clearing the system cache?
Clear your system cache
The Xbox system cache contains temporary files used by your Xbox 360 console. Clearing the system cache may fix your screen freeze problem.
Previously downloaded game updates are removed, but don't worry. You'll be prompted to download these updates again before you play the games.
Clear your system cache
- Press the Guide button on your controller.
- Go to Settings, and then select System Settings.
- Select Storage or Memory.
- Highlight any storage device, and then press Y on your controller.
Important Do not press the A button.
(It doesn't matter which storage device you select; the cache will be cleared for all storage devices.)
- Select Clear System Cache.
- Select Yes when prompted to confirm storage device maintenance.
- Repeat the action that previously caused your screen to freeze.
Thanks for this suggestion. I will be trying this tomorrow and will report back! My son is excited to try anything but does not want to lose his progress by deleting and reinstalling everything from scratch.
Everything is stored server side, so no progress should be lost.
Really? How is it stored based on gamertag or xbox live id? So if I deleted everything and reinstalled it completely his progress would save as well? That is the last resort plan for me
It's stored via Origin ID. You do not lose anything for deleting Garden Warfare off your console.
OK I will have to check that he is signed in with an origin ID on the xbox game. I did not setup the game with him, so it may not have been done. Ill see though. Thanks for the quick advice!
In order to play, he would have to have an origin ID; so all should be good.
