As far as I know, no one has been unable to play the game from start to finish, as long as they do the following things. It's not ideal, but there is no reason to mothball the game until the patch. I have played it through twice (100 hours) and not had a corrupt save - but I have had freezes.
1) Turn of EA online options
2) Turn off autosave
3) Backup save file to memory stick (every day)
4) Manually save every 15 minutes
5) Stand still when saving
Yes, I had 3 or 4 freezes for each playthrough...not a big deal. But, I haven't heard of anyone that did all of the above getting a corrupt save, or if they did, not being able to copy the save back from usb.
There's no reason to put the game on the shelf for a month.
exactly i have done that,even standing still when saving. done one playthrough in about 65hours, completed the game, awesome from start to finish and never experienced a single freeze. and you should had to the list to just do a max of a single sitting of 2 hours because of the memory fragmentation.
