As far as I know....no. I've tried a few things and I can get as far as the menu but the damn thing crashes when I try to start a game.

Pisses me off that EA is basically ignoring this issue.

A few things you can try:

- Run in Win98 or Win95 compatibility mode

- Find the no-cd crack somewhere and install it. This works sometimes for some reason.

Ive Tried The Compatibility Mode Thing, No Luck....

Ive Tried A No-CD Crack Too, No Luck, And Stupid Me Didnt Make a Backup Of The Original.exe File...Does EA Actually Release Patches For Its Games?

Which No-CD Crack Do You Have?

Yes, they do patch their games, but are sitting on their collective thumbs with regard to this particular game for some unknown reason. I know others have emailed EA Sports to ask about this and all they ever hear is that the game isn't compatible with XP......yet. I guess you can try emailing them as well, perhaps increased volume of requests for a patch will speed things up. :|

Me too. Fortunately, my wife's rig is still running 98SE so I can still play it occasionally.
