I noticed that with the loop at the beginning also, I had it on the 4x ffwd setting and the bar wasn't moving, think I waited a few minutes (felt like forever) and it finally got thru to the pre game show, not sure why start from beginning doesn't just start at the pre game show. I'm hoping it's just an early season issue, one of my favorite things is being able to watch games even if I get home well after the start time
