    I bought this today and I've had it freeze up on me a couple times. Was wondering if anyone else has had this problem?

    I haven't bought it yet. Is it good? Just tried the tutorial. I'm trying to figure out how you get different cards?  They're not opening up a store to pay exorbitant amounts for cash for cards are they?

    They game froze a couple times for one of my friends.  I haven't had the problem at all so, maybe it just happens at random.

    I had the AI freeze on me yesterday. Card-zooming and everything was working, but the opponent wouldn't let a spell pass through.

    It has happened to me. Try changing the view around (D-Pad) then give it a sec to catch up. It worked for me a few times. Good luck.

    i love this game to death but occasionally i've been at a pivotal moment in the game and me or the opponent be they AI or otherwise will put something on the stack and it will simply stay there with no timer or button options. it's quite frustrating because i can still pause the game, get to the menu screen or escape to the dashboard, but i cant unfreeze the game i'm on.

    I've had that happen a few times, pushing in the analog sticks seemed to fix it.  As for the game actually freezing, I've only had it happen to me once.

    I had the AI freeze, did the d-pad swing view around and it fixed the problem each time.

    My game just froze. I played a spell, game froze and the controller just vibrates like crazy. I thought I was gonna RROD, but I guess not.

    it used to freeze more before they switched up the game for expansion 2. now it does it only when you make too big of a chain. me and my friend accidentally made it go back 3 turns.....now that was a new one for me. there are card glitches as well. unfortunately they dont seem too keen on fixing any of it.
