Virtual Pro Freezes after creation

I've heard of freezing but never at this point. I make my face and height and the basics (PS3), when I press start and it goes to the page with a picture of a press conference and the 3 bullet points saying what you can do with the VP, with the advance and back options - the game freezes. The music is playing but the screen has frozen and no buttons work. The only thing i can do is press PS and quit the game, which subsequently restarts the PS3 as it has obviously frozen. Anyway to fix this and is it common? Will it be fixed in an update? Thanks, want to get on with a GK VP!
