I had the same problem on XBox One, but thanks to the previous post I figured it out.
1) When you manually save, make sure you save as a different name than the auto-save.
2) Click the B button to exit your Connected Franchise mode.
3) Click RB one time to go to the Play tab.
4) Click Connected Franchise.
5) It'll have you on the Last Played tab. Don't click that. Scroll right to Resume Offline.
6) Click your saved file.
I know this repeated some of the last post, but I figured step by step instructions might help some other people too.
it worked thank you
I think they were just joking. Kind of like the game. A big joke filled with lies.
