I have a football game( NCAA 2004) I used to play it like half a year ago and stoped playing it. I tried back again to play it just recently and it says Loading... but right when its about to go to the main menu it wont do anything. It doesent freeze up beacuse the music is still going on. Its a Purple(on the bottom) PS2 game
Make sure the disc is not scratched, clean the disc, use a DVD player cleaning disc on your console, if none of these work it's an actual problem with the coding on the disc and you need a new copy.
