It should only take you 1 hour to fix this.

Hope this helps?

EA had some problems with bugs at FIFA 11 (freezing). I think they fixed it with a patch, if however you have the patch installed , try deleting it and installing it again.

Hi there.

The PlayStation Network is down at the moment. This started 2 day ago. Sony Entertainment is working on this. The code is from Sony and nothing to do with you system. No update yet from SONY when the problem will be fixed but they're doing their best to fix this ASAP.

Thank you!

Hi ironboy,

If your PS3 is freezing up then you need to stop the heat build up internally and to do this you will need to get it repaired.

Now you can send it in and they will fix it for you that is the standard method however bear in mind that there will be a repair charge of $150 for the fix which is quite steep!

The other way that you can fix it is by using a good PS3 Repair guide.

Just a quick word of advice though, make sure you check out these reviews of the top guides so you can be sure what they offer.

This problem has nothing to do with your PS3!! Its Fifa 11 which is very full of glitches. This freezing problem is a known bug and Fifa or EA doesnt seem to care about it. if you search online you'll see multiple people with similar complaints on EA forums and few or no replies from EA. They havent come up with a fix yet. all you can do is wait for an update (ie. Fifa 12)

keep the system in a cool place PS3s are famous for overheating in short amounts of time and frezzing another option is to format and do a system restore but you may lose saved game data so be careful

hello try a fan test to see if the fans are working properly , take the power lead out of the back then reinsert the lead in while doing this press and hold the eject button you should hear the fans boot up. this may blow all the dust out, also try an update on the console good luck

It's eiyther one of two problems:

The first is that FIFA 11 is screwed up due to an EA Sports programming glitch within the game - (see http://www.community.eu.playstation.com/t5/Technical-Help/FIFA-11-Error-80010514/m-p/11614173))

OR

The second is that your PS3 is dying and the laser won't read discs. Which gets progressively worse, or so i've read. - (see http://www.ps3blog.co.za/2008/04/10/ps3-error-80010514-explained/)

I'm getting the same error but my PS3 isn't yet 12 months old, so is going back to the store.

P*ssed that I can't play the new FIFA though!!!!

First make sure no other games are freezing. If other games freeze also, then the problem is not with Fifa 10. If your other games are fine, you will need to replace Fifa by either an exchange or, if stores won't do that for you, you'll have to sell and purchase a new game.
