Fifa 12 patch causes crashes, here’s how to fix it


Yesterday’s enormous Fifa 12 patch changed a little more than EA had planned, some users finding that it crashed their games after installation. We’re told that the problem is due to a syncing issue with Creation Centre content.
EA Sports have provided details on a workaround, which involves you having to delete Creation Centre from your console and then re-download it.
Here’s how to do it:
