Weekly "Simulating Training" Infinite Loop

I'm running a local Franchise Mode. on Xbox Series X.

When I go through the six "Weekly Training" mini-games, and I press the button to "Start Training"...

.. the game goes into an infinite loop saying, "Simulating Training" and then it flies up out of the screen, then says it again, and again... it looks exactly what it looks like on the rare occasion that it does function properly.  It's just that it never ends.  I've even let it run an entire night, and when I got back to it in the morning, it was still loopings.

The only way that I have found to stop it, is to go to the game via the big Xbox central button, and "Quit Game."  Then, load M24 again from a fresh start.  This wipes out any training XP that would have been earned.  Very frustrating!

This has happened to me running many different Franchise games, so I can't just start over and have it work.

Any suggestions?

Thank you!
