Thanks for your quick repsonse! I understand this is not a true "lock up", so I edited the title of my message.
That being said, are you saying that it is normal for the game to pause that long just from me clicking the mouse button before the play-by-play finishes scrolling?? I understand there are lots of calculations being made constantly. But pauses that long just seem excessive.
thanks for your help. Gotta go play some more!
