What is your gamertag/PSN ID?
Date/time issue occurred 10/24/24
What type of issue do you have? Crash/Freeze
Which mode has this happened in? Dynasty
Summarize your bug There are three “undefined” archetypes missing from the game. Your players can get them via position changes, but they won’t spend skill points and their abilities will show as “undefined”
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Change players positions at QB, OLB, or WR. The bugged archetypes are Slot WR, Strong Arm QB, and Speed Rusher OL. Players can’t start as these as they don’t generate in recruits, but some players become them via position changes.
What happens when the bug occurs? They do not spend skill points and can’t unlock any abilities
What do you expect to see? These archetypes to be defined with skill trees (or actually removed entirely)

There are three “undefined” archetypes missing from the game. Your players can get them via position changes, but they won’t spend skill points or unlock abilities. Their skill trees show “undefined” and are stuck like this.

It happens to Strong Arm QB, Slot WR, and Speed Rusher OLB.

    MAJOR ISSUE

    LOST MULTIPLE GOOD PLAYERS TO THIS BUG BECAUSE THEY DONT UPGRADE ANYMORE AFTER THE ARCHETYPE SWITCH

  • Can confirm this is still occurring as of Nov 26. You can move the players to these archetypes, but they will never progress. If you view any of their player cards, they have no ratings or abilities, and will often have dozens of unspent points because they cannot spend them. Confirmed on multiple dynasties on Xbox and PS5.

    This is a serious bug. Hoping EA addresses it soon, it makes it very painful to run a 3-4 or 3-3 defense.

    I've posted a video demonstrating the issue, which you can see in game on any player for one of these archetypes: https://youtu.be/J3VbrsXl6AU

    Frustrating to still see no fix for this fairly major bug, and even more frustrating that we get no communication at all. Even a generic "Thanks for the report, we've forwarded it to our development team" would be a huge improvement over the literally nothing we get. I keep getting told that EA looks at every single bug report, but that's really hard to believe when this is just the standard we've come to expect from EA for years. No communication at all, unless someone doesn't get their MUT drops, then EA tweets about that within minutes.

  • Unfortunately this has still not been addressed with today's patch update. EA, you raised my hopes and then dashed them brilliantly.
