Just so everyone knows. EA can't fix the problem and refuses to give you your money back. After, you've blown past your 30day return period while trying to troubleshoot your pretty much screwed. However, EA did offer me any other game of my choosing. But then again that game may be defective as well….. because its EA.

I bought the game 4/26 and immediately had problems. Microsoft suggested I exchange the game, which I did and the same thing happened. I contacted EA and told them I didn’t even want it anymore because i was sick of it already but I can’t return it to the retailer unless Ijust want another copy of this turd. EA suggested I send it to their warrantly department with copies of receipts and they would send me an unopened game that I should be able to return to the retailer for my money back. I still have to check with the retailer to see if this will float but it might be an alternative to being out the $60.
How did this ever win any game of the year awards when so many people are complaining?

@Yo Momma,
When they released the patch it seems most if not all issues have been fixed. It may just be a bad time or when you tried. If you still have issues check the NHL 09 forums or check EA tech support.

Jay, it worked! I did have to try to download the game 3 times. The first two times I got the disc error around the 16% download. The third time worked and I was able to play an entire game with no problem. I appreciate the help. THANK YOU!!!!

I’ve only had the game about a week now, and Xbox just started freezing. Sometimes it would let me get to the end of the game and freeze during the 3 stars presentation. ANNOYING. I installed the game to my hard drive (8gb required) and I managed to get through 2 games without a problem. Not sure if this is a fix or not, but worth a try.

I am on my second copy. I cleared my cache just to get the second copy to work. First of all, none of us should be required to do this for any game. After a couple months of playing the game, the famous message appeared again. Now I can’t play at all. Disc error. What a joke. I am out $60 now and I am just sick of this. I do not see any marks on my disc. Just for a teaser, it will let me get online and get to the faceoff and then shut down. The kicker is that I purchased an XBOX for hockey. What a joke. I bet a lawsuit comes soon from someone if not me.

I know it sucks … thanks for the help… how are the patches working?

@Jeff,
I don’t know any way you can patches and updates need internet service. You can ask EA tech support when you call and see if they have a way.

Hey guys I’ve been reading all the comments …. now I bought this game when it first came out …. it has played good since i got it until about 2 months ago when the error of unreadable disc would pop up while I was browsing through the menus. Anyways like I said Ive been reading… so I checked my game and it has the STAIN like everyone is talking about near the center of the disc on the back… so im gonna call EA Support line, but my question is how do i get the patches or updates for my game cause i dont have xboxlive because i have a dailup connection… any help

@Ryan,
I am a little confused you said it worked fine now it won’t work on your console?
EA patched this issue awhile ago so it may be your saved file? I am not saying EA did not screw up with this they did. All I can offer is the same advice call EA tech support and tell them the issue and how unhappy you are.

I know they do everything they can to resolve the problem. Good luck I hope they fix it for you.

I had the game for 3 months played fine all of a sudden i got the disc read error… Every other game i play works fine… Never got this error till this game… Ok so ive tried over 4 copies of the game, ive tried burning to my hard drive, ive gotten friends to bring their copies over those dont work, ive tried using my copies on other xbox’s and they work fine…. EA charges you 60$ of money you work hard for… assuming you make 12 dollars an hour.. you’ve worked 5 hours to pay for a piece of software that is non-functioning.. Will EA refund my money since obviously its not a problem on my end???? They put out a game that only works on certain systems for whatever reason…

@Josh,
If you just bought the game return to EB and ask to speak with the manager. I am puzzled as why you would have the issue since it has been resolved with the update that loads when you put in the game though? Did you allow the title update to run?
