Once so far. I remember on a FIFA a few years back, 12 or 13 I think, where Career Mode would freeze all the time. Usually when pausing the game to make a sub. To think this is still going on is ridiculous.
The menus are horrible. I don't know if it's just Career Mode or the whole game, but they are so slow. It takes an age for it it to respond to my commands.
Handballs still aren't working either.
for laggy/slow career mode menus, what I do is enter my career mode before (singing in to EA servers). If it didn't work I just restart the game until it works.
for pausing the game freeze, it only freezes when the ball is out. So just try your best to remember to pause the game when the ball is not out. (it doesn't make any sense at all).
