Madden 18 Franchise - Multiple Issues - Ready to Give Up and go Back to 17

I have already reported some of the these via the bug tracking and plan to submit more. I am just VERY disappointed with the game  play and glitches of Madden 18 Franchise Mode.

• When I loaded the Dallas Cowboys to start at the beginning of the season, multiple players were added to the Injured Reserve for 29 weeks, such as Rico Gathers and Anthony Hitchens who aren't out for the season.
• Also, when I started on week 1 of the season, the Practice wouldn't function. I couldn't cut players and I couldn't sign them from the practice squad. However, other teams could steal them away.
• The XP Cost displayed for attributes is either incorrect the amount taken is incorrect. Clutch, Penalty Bias, etc. cost more than 20% more than displayed. You either get an error that you can't purchase the package if you don't have sufficient extra points or it deducts additional points when you submit.
• In "Play All Offense" mode, extra points are a joke. High quality kickers (80+/90+ accuracy) miss about 75-80% of the extra points. I have quit letting the computer kick the extra points. If you watch it on screen, it looks like they are kicking the extra point from the 35 instead of the 15.
• Also, in "Play All Offense" mode, many plays don't appear in the graphic. Suddenly the opposing team is 20 yards down the field and no play was shown (normal speed) to explain the position change. If you look at the list of plays, you'll find it, but doesn't show up as your watching.
• And, it seems, they have significantly increased the difficult level of All-Pro Simulation Mode. In "Play All Offense" I have teams that are 85-90+ OVR for defense and they stop almost nothing in the simulation. I must score 35+ points per game (which is also far more difficult than Madden 17) to have any chance of winning a game. What is the point of "Play All Offense" if your defense is horrible no matter how high the OVR of the defense.
• In a side note that is clearly a business decision, the removed all of the Singleback Big and Singleback Big Close formations which included many of my most successful plays in Madden 17.

Between all of the technical bugs and increased difficulty of game play, I am inclined to either quit playing Madden altogether or return to Madden 17. I certainly doesn't encourage me to Pre-Order the next release of Madden next year since this one has so many bugs that it is still unclear if they plan to fix.

FYI, I don't play MUT. I play for the Franchise Mode. Very disappointing start.
