have you played as far as the second season yet?
as on mine 2 teams of the same name appear in the draw for the national cup (English)
they are on opposite sides of the draw so eventually they play one another and the game crashes.
i wonder if this game has the new FADE protection which is supposedly now going to be used on PS2 games.
this new protection slowly changes the game data and eventually makes the game so it wont play.
it is mentioned on the china messiah site.
