10-Man Formation Glitch and Subsequent Crashing

Exactly as it sounds. I’ve been using the Rice Playbook in Dynasty mode, both as an offensive coordinator and as a head coach using first Rice and then BYU. In the Rice Playbook, when using the Pistol formation “Flexbone Trips”, the halfback may not appear in the backfield, instead popping into the wingback position where a tight end would normally be in other formations. This itself is not the issue, as that is where a wingback is supposed to be. However, there should be a running back in the backfield in line behind the quarterback as well. This results in a 10 man formation (3 Wide Receivers + 5 Offensive Linemen + 1 Wingback + 1 Quarterback = 10). This glitch most frequently pops up when running either Triple Option or Smash out of this formation. Upon snapping the ball with this 10-man formation, after about 1 second, the game crashes and closes out. I’m playing on PlayStation 5 on the digital copy of the standard edition. I would say this glitch happens frequently but not 100% of the time. Occasionally a running back will pop up for a legal 11 man formation, or the 10 man formation won’t cause the game to crash, but it is an issue that most recently has forced me out of the same game 5 separate times. I have seen it occur varying between this high frequency or played an entire season without it happening. I suspect but cannot confirm that it has something to do with wear and tear forcing whatever player is in the wingback slot to sub out of the game, moving the player usually in the halfback position to the wingback position and then not putting in that player’s backup at the halfback position because that player is unaffected by wear and tear. This is merely speculation, but it seems a reasonable explanation for what is going on. Attached is a screenshot of what the 10 man formation looks like (the tenth is a wide receiver just out of view, out wide on the left hand side of the formation).

Weirdly enough, upon entering a game, the formation “Flexbone Trips” is actually named “Wingback Trips”. In fact, looking at Rice’s playbook under the Custom Playbook menu shows all pistol formations that in game are marked as “Wingback” formations are instead marked as “Flexbone” formations. I tried to replicate this glitch immediately upon entering a game with a new team, however all 11 players appeared on the field when doing so, leading me to believe that this is in fact tied to wear and tear in some capacity. I would appreciate a remedy to this glitch as attempting to use this formation can potentially result in a loss of progress and make the game unplayable.
