It happened once, I quit to the dashboard, tried again and I didn't work. Another day I tried again and it still didn't work. I returned the original disck for another.Then another day I tried, it didn't work but I decided to play through it, the game after it worked and the ball was visible, but the next two games after that the ball was invisible, I played one online seasons match where the ball worked fine. This is all on career mode, prior to the first time it went invisible I had been playing on pro clubs.
There has been no other freezing of it, the players behave as if they've got the ball, the net will move when hit with the ball, it's just invisible and has no shadow either.

How can I fix this or try to? Has anyone else had this experience?
