Madden 2001 PS2 crashing when it starts offensive drive

[ChickenUK]

Hi,

My backup of Madden 2001 freezes on a white screen at exactly the same point every game. It lets you play the first defensive set but as soon as it goes to the offensive playbook the commentary stops, then when you choose a play it crashes.

Tried several burns and a couple of versions of the bin of different brabded CDS @ 1x burning speed.

Booting with EA Sports method on a Pal 3003 with Neo 2 and AR3.

Anybody suffered similar hassles??

Cheers
