draft boards and info not loading when switching users, stuck on first team up

Product: Madden NFL 21
Platform:Sony Playstation 4
Which console generation do you have? PlayStation 4
What is your gamertag/PSN ID? carnevil73
Date/time issue occurred 10-14-2020
What type of issue do you have? Gameplay
Which mode has this happened in? Franchise Mode
Which part of the mode? Offline
What is your Franchise League Name? jets4teamsetup
Summarize your bug i play 4 teams in an offline franchise mode.....i am on offseason free agency 4....the 4 teams i control are the Jets, Texans, Vikings, 49ers....now whichever user team is loaded and clicks to the next phase the draft is the draft board that appears for all 4 teams. as i switch between users to make draft picks it does not load that particular teams scouting board it loads the board of the team loaded when the new phase begin. In the L1, R1 screens it show the draft picks and team info of the team first loaded and does not display the new teams info when i switch between teams....... So if i advance as the Jets when the draft starts no matter what team i switch to it shows the draft information and scounting of the Jets etc......if i reload as the Texans and advance to draft it shows the Texans draft into and scouting for all users even though i switch to another team. etc. This is my first season so i do not know if it happens every year after this.
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? advance to NFL draft controlling 4 teams and see if it occurs
What happens when the bug occurs? all 4 user teams have the scouting of the first time loaded during draft phase. when you select make you pick it displays the scouting info and draft info of the first team loaded to start that phase of the offseason. Tried with all four teams i control and it happened each time.
What do you expect to see? i expected when switching teams during the draft the proper scouting info for that team would be displayed not the players and info of another team.

    as of the latest update today 1.21 this issue is still unresolved. can effectiveily draft with multiple users. it still locks you into the first draft board accessed and everyone must then use that teams draft board. switching to different user during draft does not change over to that players board it just keeps showing the first board accessed. this has been going on sine October. Mabye one day they will care enough to fix it. until then single player one user is all you can do.

    @Carnevil73 

    Does this happen for every franchise you play since the latest patch, including newly created franchises? (Not sure if you started one up or willing to test). 

    Also, does it happen for every draft for each franchise every year?

    yes it happens on any franchise with multiple users i have started since the begining and new ones i have tried after every update. So yes our main franchise created in september still does it..... and we have since created and simmed after every patch as well and the issue still continues. we have tried 3 copies of the game on three different PS4,s and always the same result. when we get to the end of the offseason and draft the first player that looks at his draft board locks that draft in for the whole draft.....example the player with the Jets accessed his draft board made his pick then the texans user was up next he loads up and it displays the same draft as the Jets player and all the info on left position grades and remaining drafts are displayed for the Jets as well. the four of us Control the Jets, Texans, Vikings and 49ers and whoever loads first we all get stuck with that draft info. we have tried everything we can think of and nothing works. so now we just write down all the scouting info ourselves. This issue started right after the first October update.  Our main franchise is on season 4 and yes every draft has had this issue......... we have tried randomly starting new franchises and simmed them to draft and it is still there. please advise us.

    I'm not sure if this is was your post on Reddit but I couldn't find much on this, but it does look like a small amount of players like yourself and @samsquatch_58504 are reporting this. 

    Is this happening with a regular NFL roster or are you uploading a custom roster?

    No that is not my post on reddit that is another person with the problem...... we have used the original Madden roster for our franchise and have been using the auto generated draft players....we have not used any custom rosters. Just the original standard madden roster. .....the only thing i know is it started after the october update..... it is four of us  we have tried four copies of the game on four different PS4s and it always occurs we have no idea why..... during the season each player can access his draft board while doing his scouting but once we enter the draft it is locked. it is like the game is is not really switching users during the draft.. we are lost. Anything you need that we can provide just let us know. i unfortunately only know of about 8 people through various forums that have this problem....most are just writing down the info and working around the error. Just frustrating.
