The games have to be re-built.
(For some games there are patches availible as well)
try www.ps2nfo.com
Do some searches.
It has been covered before.

That's weird, I didn't have to rebuild NBA Street 3 at all. I just copied it.

i have found that EA sports games are a bitch. you dont have to apply any patches unless you plan on playing it online. i had to burn several copies of each EA sports game because sometimes they wont load. and once you get a copy that loads its very slow to load. i dont have that problem with any other type of game really, just EA.

I have had similar problems with slow load speeds from ea games. I've cleaned my laser and still doesn't help. Any advice would be great

I reccomend boycotting EA games all together. With the way they pollute the video game industry, they deserve a slap in the face.

I use Alcohol 120% for EA games and have no problems. If I use DVD Decrypter I have nothing but problems.

I also have tried backing up an EA game. NBA street did not work for me. I tried dvdricks patcha and still nothing. But this is not only an EA related issue, MERCENARIES was another game that did not work when backed up.SO as far as danbrooks "let's ban EA games" its kinda harsh dont you guys think?!
You can try and rebuild the ISO. This site offers a bunch on how.
There are also patches that you can find here or dvdricks site. Again, my copy of NBA Street did not work despite using dvdricks patch but im only one case. I have heard that a few ppl did have luck with this patch. Make sure that you are following the instructions of swap magic correctly. I thought my copy did not work but it turned out I was not using the slide card properly.
