Summarize your bug There's a reliable chance that when hiring or firing a scout, the game will freeze. It won't always happen the first, second, or third time, but hire / fire enough scouts and it will happen. It's particularly disruptive when starting a new franchise, because that's when I hire / fire the most scouts. This issue existed in Madden '22 as well.
How often does the bug occur? Often (50% - 99%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Sim to week 1 when scout hire/fire is available. Fire all the scouts. If it didn't occur yet, hire all the scouts. Keep repeating until it freezes. For me, it usually happens on the 2nd action I take (either hire or fire) but can also happen as the first action.
What happens when the bug occurs? The game freezes indefinitely.
What do you expect to see? I'd like the game not to freeze or require a restart when performing the scout hire/fire flow.
