Same issue for me. Scrolling free agents or in player management, especially WR, after about 30-40 players the portraits disappear and the game hangs. I press “exit” and it freezes
i thought initially it was one specific player but I don’t think it is. I’ve tried 10 different roster files and it happens with a different guy each time. Usually around the 71-68 OVR rated WR (the ratings are irrelevant, that’s just how far down the list I can scroll before it breaks, about 40 players)
I downloaded and installed the game on my secondary PS4, so it was a fresh install, no saved data at all, no custom roster, first time I scrolled free agents it broke. So it’s definitely not a “rebuild the database” or “reinstall” fix. Something is fundamentally broken.
same behavior presents itself if you just scroll “player management”, regardless of position (all players in league not just free agents). After 10-15 seconds maybe, the portraits disappear and the game hangs.
also same behavior exists once you’re in franchise and doing roster cuts or depth charts. Scroll around enough and portraits disappear, replaced by NFL shield logo and game hangs
makes franchise mode literally unplayable.
