Madden 22: blizzards in playoff games in Franchise

Product: Madden NFL 22
Platform:Stadia

What is your gamertag/PSN ID?

Summarize your bug When my team has a playoff game in a Northern city (any city that regularly records snow yearly), weather conditions are inevitably a playoff blizzard. This has occurred in years 2 through 4 of my franchise so far, which are the years that I've been in playoffs. This causes a large drop in various player attributes, making gameplay much less fun.
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Start a franchise and make playoffs; play the game in a city that regularly records snow
What happens when the bug occurs? Snow causes a large drop in various player attributes, making gameplay much less fun.
What do you expect to see? For blizzards to almost never occur; should happen to a given player maybe 1 time over a ten-year period in Franchise mode. Very few blizzards occur yearly in the US so the probability of one occurring in a given city on a gameday is zero
PS4 Crash Reporting: Please copy the text you put in the crash report here.
What is the AMD or Nvidia Model Number of your graphics card?
Enter RAM memory size in GB

Bug has been reported by various people also on Reddit playing across all platforms so doesn't appear to be platform-dependent,

NOTE THAT I'M PLAYING SOLO FRANCHISE IN ONLINE MODE SO NOT SURE IF MY LEAGUE NAME IN THE REPORT IS CORRECT. My EA handle is Jbourne56

  • This is happening to me on PS5 offline franchise mode as well. Two games in a row, and I saved after the second game to reload the game for my third playoff game. Everytime I advance to the third game, it has a blizzard during the third game again and again.

  • Seems to be a problem across the board. I had it in both the PS4 and PS5 versions. 

    It appears to have been reported multiple times by multiple users on a variety of boards and platforms.

    Hopefully, a patch. I mean no snow at all repeately would actually be more realistic than playing in several blizzards a year.
