Unable to Play Defense or Access and Add Favorites

Hi everyone,

I'm posting to report an issue in Madden 27's Team Practice mode. The game is completely locking me onto the offensive side of the ball, making it impossible to practice defensive formations or use my defensive favorites list.

The Problem:

• Locked on Offense: When launching Team Practice, the menu defaults me to the offensive squad. Even after running an offensive play, I am completely unable to swap sides to control the defense. 

• Favorites List Hidden: Because the game forces me to stay on offense, the defensive play-call menu is completely inaccessible. This means I can't see, select, or add any formations to my defensive favorites list while in this mode.

Options Screen Limit:

When looking at the Practice Type settings before entering the field, the only options available to choose from are Normal, Offense Only, and Kick Off. There is no choice to launch straight into a defensive practice focus. 

Is anyone else running into this? If anyone knows how to bypass this lock so I can actually practice defense and set up my favorite formations, please let me know. Thanks!
