Play clock doesn't appear or countdown

Product: Madden NFL 20

Summarize your bug Occasionally, when I'm simulating a game in Franchise and playing only the key moments, the play clock will flat out disappear, and I'll have as long as I want to snap the ball on offense. Usually this has only affected a play or a drive, but this most recent time the play clock has completely failed to return throughout the 4th quarter, having been replaced with two dashes.
How often does the bug occur? Occasionally (10% - 49%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? To be honest with you, I haven't a clue what's causing the bug, so I couldn't tell you
What happens when the bug occurs? There is no play clock counting down while the game clock is counting down and I have as long as I want to snap the ball
What do you expect to see? I expect there to be a play clock that gives me a time limit on how long I have before I must snap the ball

This has been going on for about a day or two now and has happened about four or five times total.  Usually the play clock will resume at some point (I hadn't really been making a note of the specific instance) but the most recent time, I was able to basically run down the game clock as much as I wanted on offense for the entire fourth quarter.

    Summarize your bug Is anyone else having the issue where the play clock completely disappears from the game? I can literally run the clock out with what should be minutes to go. It's happened multiple times. Also when playing a friend online the playcalling screen freezes to where neither can call a play forcing a penalty.

    Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Play the game it happens to me and friends of mine that play offline franchise.
    What happens when the bug occurs? You can run the game out because no play clock exists. I tried to send a video of me running 10 solid minutes off in one play. But I couldn't.
    What do you expect to see? I would hope you have pride in your work and will fix the game.
