Solved

Charles Woodson interception on final play of the game freezes the game

Product: Madden NFL 21
Platform:Sony Playstation 4
Which console generation do you have? Sony PlayStation 4 Pro
What is your gamertag/PSN ID? randomi12
Date/time issue occurred January 9, 2021 7:00pm
What type of issue do you have? Crash/Freeze
Which mode has this happened in? Ultimate Team
Which part of the mode? Solo Challenges
Summarize your bug If Charles Woodson intercepts the ball on the last play of the game in the 4th quarter the game stops. The clock will sit with 0:00 showing, but does not advance to next screen. This happened in a Solo Challenge tonight, but it has also happened in a Solo Battle. The only solution is to concede the game even if I have won the game or completed the challenge.
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Allow a fully powered up Charles Woodson to intercept the ball at the end of a game. The game will not allow you to advance to the "complete" game screen.
What happens when the bug occurs? The game stops with 0:00 on the clock, and does not advance to the next screen that allows the game to be completed.
What do you expect to see? I expect the game to complete after the game clock hits 0:00.

    @randomid123 does Charles Woodson a celebration animation after he intercepted the ball? my first guess would be that he does a Signature celebration and this clebration causes this bug. I've read about a similar issue (and tested it myself afterwards) with Mike Evans (see here: https://answers.ea.com/t5/Bug-Reports/Mike-Evans-Solo-Battles/m-p/9509924#M2787).

    if this bug is caused by the signature celebration, I'd suggest to always select an animation (e.g. spike the ball) which is safe to do.

    hope that helps. good luck! but anyways, I know that this really sucks, in particular for Solo Battles since you cannot even repeat the game...

    @Neo_Novalis 


    Thank you for sharing these details. Relaying a message I'm posting on other threads:

    Alerted this to the team and was informed they plan to fix the infinite camera panning triggered by player TD celebrations in a title update scheduled to release soon.

    This just happened to me for the 2nd time in a week. I’m winning the game in Weekend league and Charles Woodson intercepts a pass before the half. Time runs out for the half and the game is stuck!!! The game doesn’t advance to the 3rd quarter. This is ridiculous. SMDH.

    @I_Be_The_Genie I imagine I know how it feels. ☹️ untill this bug is solved, I strongly recommend to always manually select a safe celebration animation (e.g. 'spike') to avoid this bug. I know you cannot control it if your opponent (in H2H) or the AI does it, but if you have Mike Evans or Charles Woodson in your lineup, be careful!

    hope that helps, at least that you will not face this bug again. good luck!

    Neo, this really sucks. I just played a solo for team of the year. Charles Woodson intercepts a pass with no time remaining and is running to the house. Now at first because I have 3 twenty ones on defense, I don’t realize that it’s Charles. Once I realize it was him, I was apprehensive about letting him score. But I said, I’ll score and not celebrate. This dude did the Heisman on his own and the screen froze!!!!! And this was the last game that I needed for my free TOTY player. You can’t make this stuff up. SMDH. I had to play it all over again. Uggggggg! It almost makes you feel like not playing him. SMDH.
