Franchise - unable to connect after simming

Me and my brother play online franchise mode and have been for years. However, this one seems to have a huge bug in online franchise. Every time I advance a week, it kicks me and him off. We can’t even be in the franchise at the same time when it hits the playoffs. Keep in mind, this is all within the first season, so it’s not like we’re 10-15 years into it where the game takes awhile to process. Sometimes, it kicks us off EA servers just cause. I’ve done everything EA has said that is supposed to “fix” the problem, but it all fails. I believe it’s a glitch within the online franchise mode. Because I can access everything else with ease. This is extremely disappointing EA, and I’ve never had this issue before. I’m actually appalled at how bad this bug is. But it’s not like I can do anything about it except complain and wait for their developers to fix it with the next update, which will probably be weeks out from now. That’s honestly just insulting to everyone who has preordered or bought the game. Terrible job
