Partial Solution to Memory Access Violation Errors on Legacy Mode of Fight Night Champion:
If you are having the Memory Access Violation errors which crashes/freezes the game on Legacy Mode (aka Career Mode) of Fight Night Champion, do the following before you begin the fight where you get that error.
1. While in Legacy Mode, go to My Boxer and choose to EDIT your boxer.
2. Change the color of your boxer's Trunks/Shorts and Apply the change (aka save the change). It's possible that making other changes in the Edit screen of your boxer can also stop the Memory Access Violation error but I haven't tried that.
3. Proceed to the fight and you'll be able to finally do battle with your opponent.
Why does the solution work? I have no idea, but since the crashes were always caused by Memory Access Violation errors, I thought it might have something to do with the save file of the game, specifically the save file of the created boxer in Legacy Mode. By making that one little change and saving it, maybe something also got affected in the save file, causing it to work normally again.
Other Thoughts:
The Memory Access Violation errors only happen in Legacy Mode for me. I created two separate save files for the experiment. In the first save file, which is what you see in the video, I was able to fight in 24 bouts to become Champion. On the 25th fight, which is where I'm supposed to defend the championship belt, that's when I encountered the Memory Access Violation error which kept crashing the game no matter what settings I changed in RPCS3's configuration.
In the second save file I made, I immediately encountered the Memory Access Violation error on the third fight. This makes me believe that the Memory Access Violation error can happen at any point in Legacy Mode but I don't know what triggers it. Anyway, this was where I discovered the partial solution, which is basically as easy as going to your boxer's edit screen and changing the color of his trunks/shorts and of course saving/applying this change. Somehow, this change fixed the Memory Access Violation error and allowed me to participate in the third fight.
Since it worked on the second save file, I also tried the solution on the first save file that I made where I was already Champion. From his red shorts, I changed it to color green and saved it. Fortunately, that worked and it allowed me to defend the championship belt and move on.
