BLACK SCREEN - can't play the game

[Lebowski]

Game suddenly started to just show a black screen when loading (post sponsor/advertising logos). Tried all fixes mentioned (software rendering, deleting cache, delete settings, ensure all drivers are updated, uninstalling game etc.) Nothing has helped. Getting pretty miffed to say the least.

Did you install a new Skin? Im telling you since i started using a skin i see all sorts of weirdness, like not being able to SKIP replays, team talks not being available. Skins fellas, change alot of things from menus to looks to feels to everything and can screw your game up
and make it do some simply crazy stuff. Never realized it until i installed the skin

Nope, no messing with skins or anything. Just randomly happened. Unistalled and deleted all mention of sports interactive from my pc. Reinstalled, no luck, uninstalled again, full clear of all cache and any other files I could find, reinstalled. Again, no luck. Rinse and repeat and boom, no more black screen. Very odd. Hope it doesn't come back.

I'm having this problem, too.

has to be video drivers then. There is nothing special in this game that would casue that

I would contact SEGA, I had the same problem with FM12, and they were very good about it.
