From what you're describing it sounds like the stats are thrown off when the games are simulated?
@EA_Blueberry
Here's my final attempt to get you people do something about this before I'm forced to give up on you and your series.
I went on a full desperation mode and since your two latest installments are both broken in same manner, I decided to go backwards: I got myself a copy of Madden NFL 18. And lo and behold: IT HAS THIS SAME BUG. That game is from 2017 so for over two years and in three games, the same bug exists without you having done anything about it. Based on your earlier replies I take it that you people at EA either don't understand the problem or you simply don't care. I'm naive enough to want to believe it's not about the latter, so here goes; my attempt to be as clear about this as possible so even you could get some sort of grasp of it. Please follow these instructions and see for yourself what's going on. Please play your own game.
I play CFM Offline with a created, undrafted player. I have "Instant Starter" switched OFF as I want to compete for my spot.
I start with Fantasy Draft. Not sure if this has anything to do with it, but I mention it just to be sure.
I play either as HB or ROLB, but I'm sure these are not the only positions that suffer from this.
When I've developed my player enough to get 2nd string position and be allowed to play occasional downs, the trouble begins. Do you still follow me?
In matches, when I'm supposed to play a down, Super Sim stops so I can pick the next action. But every now and then, it stops only to prompt me to continue Super Sim. That's when the game simulates a down I'm supposed to play. After the down, when I go see the stats, they show that my created player indeed played in it. My player did, but I didn't. And that's the problem:
I DON'T GET TO PLAY.
That should be enough to meet the criteria of unplayable.
And it happens EVERY TIME. Every single time I start a career in CFM Offline as a created, undrafted player, this happens sooner or later. So I'm confident you, and absolutely everyone else, can duplicate this if you just bothered to try. I first reported this in August 2018, and like I said, it turns out that it already existed in Madden NFL 18 in 2017. Go see my bug report, it even has screenshots. In it I mentioned that on worst occasion the first down I played in a match was in fact already 8th for my player, so the game had simulated the first seven before I was allowed to play at all. I also got Madden NFL 16 and I'm almost tempted to see if it has this too, but I'm afraid the result would severely damage my psyche. So could you please, PLEASE do something about it already. Over two years. Three games. Number of bug reports. NOTHING has happened. DO SOMETHING ALREADY.

I'm only posting on this form because I found a solution to this problem. If you turn on instant starter and turn off career clock the problem goes away.
It's unfortunate. Because I wanted to earn my start as well but, alas. Hope this helps.
