Madden NFL 23 FotF The League stuck in a loop after signing a contract

I've played through a whole FotF season as a QB for the 49ers.  Went undefeated.  Won the SB.  The cutscene with my agent talking about my contract plays.  It gives me the list of contract options.  When I try to select one it freezes for a minute or two, then an error flashes too fast for me to read and it either stays on the contract selection screen, returns tot he FotF menu, or it returns to the main menu.  Doesn't seem to be any rhyme or reason to it.  I can start a new one no problem.  Everything else I've messed with seems to be working fine. 

**update** EA customer support hasn't been much help.  Their suggested solutions didn't work.  I've gone through my first season as a wide receiver and running back and didn't have the issue.  I deleted that original save that I was posting about and started a new one.  Chose the Bears with the second save.  Same outcome for the season.  This time I tried to select the Bucs since Brady retired at the end of the season.  Got the same result.  

I’m having the same exact issue. So, I recorded the gameplay and paused it when that menu comes up. It’s a server disconnect. I just find it unbelievably lazy that this is still an issue. I just want to sign my contract and continue my career. Instead I’m basically stuck in limbo. And it was a problem that constantly happened last year in franchise. And purely because it’s not their money making game mode (talking to EA, not the developers) it won’t be touched I’m sure for another couple weeks. I know the team behind these games do actually care about their games, but all EA has cared about for years is their profits not a quality product. 

I ran into the issue last year with disconnects, but it wasn't like this.   I put in a ticket and got a typical generic reply with links to potential fixes.  One of the links sent me to a non-existent page.  One wanted me to update things that are already updated to newer version of what they suggest.  The last one had me clear the cache which of course did nothing. 

I have the exact same issue. Goes to show the level of care EA has about game breaking bugs. 

I’ve been playing face of the franchise, I got to the end of the season and I am trying to sign my contract but every time I accept the contract it kicks me out of face of franchise mode and back to main menu. I really do not want to start over what can I do? 

Funny thing, I’ve completed FotF now as a WR and HB and was able to select a contract and move on.

Same here. Ea please fix this!!!

After completing the first season of FoTF, I lag out when choosing which team to sign with after the 1 year prove it deal. I cannot continue no matter what I do. Am I just SOL?

Is this something EA is working on, or are we just screwed after 1 season?

My review score just went from a solid 9, down to a iffish 7.

There is ton of people with the same problem, as am I.   This is the dumbest thing.  EA said FOTF was one of their focuses but they actually made it worse.   This game is pretty much unplayable at this point, I refuse to play another second until they fix this.    Its a waste of time and very dissapointing.
