[PS3] Is your NBA 2k11 freezing on the team logo screen? (Solution here)

by AJ on April 9, 2011

No, it’s not you. It’s not even your PS3 machine and it’s not your NBA 2k11 disc either. It’s Sony currently taking attacks from Anonymous.

Here’s what you do: Just go to your network settings and disable the Internet before you play the game. You should be good.

We may have to suck it up until these attacks are over (Update: Hacking stopped April 2011).

this problem is still going on a year later

good thing is the same advice STILL WORKS

DISABLE both Internet options

Delete GAME UTILITY (not your 2k11 files, ALL SAVED FILES WILL STILL BE SAVED)

You are good to go

Disabling internet in my network settings did not work for me. I finished an entire season and I am in the Western Conference finals with a created team with a created player in The Association. I am assuming I will lose this by deleting the game data. Is there a way to avoid this?

I don’t understand why this is still possible on the consoles. It’s not like a pc that you clutter it with bs programs and stuff. And have different hardware.

I used to have freezes playing Fallout NV. It can really take the fun out of what is supposed to be a relaxing moment.

U have to go togame utility data and delete the 2k11 one. it wont delete any of your saved files but itll get the game to start right back up

I deleted all the 2k11 data and still it freezes at the start menu

Nba 2k11 will not work online due to NBA lockout. If you are connected to internet will not work. have sign out of you screen name and then it will work… It sucks can’t playonline coz of lockout bullcrap.

I started having this problem too. The problem is it roll freeze again after the team if you don’t delete that file which makes you start out with the Jordan game. I believe that’s it is the setting file.

Dude, Thanks man. I unplugged my internet cable from the PS3 and it worked for me. I got depressed for a minute thinking my 2K11 disc was messed up, cause my Tiger Wood 12 worked and I even downloaded stuff for the game.

Awesome dude! works to perfection cannot think of the time wasted over this little incident here.

I just started having this problem today. I played the game just fine last night, literally 16 hours ago and it was fine. It’s been fine since 2K patched it. But today, for some reason, the game refused to load after the team logo screen. I googled a fix and it led me here. I tried what you suggested and it absolutely worked. The game is working as it should be. Weird though, because the PSN attacks are supposed to be over now aren’t they? Didn’t Sony put up a nuclear shield with all those network fixes? Why would this suddenly start happening now?

Anyhow, thanx so much for that tip. I’m glad I simply did that first before wiping the PS3′s hard drive as I was tempted to do. After testing Mortal Kombat and seeing it worked fine I knew it was something specific and not system related.

Thanks again!

Well yout tip didnt work. It still freeze at the teams logo screen.

Maybe you have a corrupted data update file. Do this:

1) Go to your Data Utility
2) Delete your NBA 2K11 Data

Try that and please let us know. Thanks.

Yeah, this works for anyone who is having the same problem.

Thanks for the advice. Maybe that’s the reason why my friend’s PS3 is having problems with the screen. I will let him know asap. Again, thanks.
