Thanks for replying and trying to help, I’m newer to Xbox and don’t know much about it especially more technical stuff.

1) My internet connection was good yes I did the trouble shoot speed test thing.

2) My login credentials were correct yeah, I reset my passeword and tried the new one too just to make sure.

3) I’ve deleted and reinstalled the game, I’ve reset my password, and tried disconnecting and reconnecting to the internet.

4) No the 360 games haven't worked before, I tried playing Skate which had the same problem and then a week ish later I tried skate 3 and it also had this problem which is when I came here.

Thank you for contact us! I'm Anderson, an Independent Consultant and a Microsoft user like you.
