@EA_BlueberryHaven’t tried that as I don’t want it to mess up again. This is testing that EA can and should be doing themselves….

We're going to need to gather some additional information here. The team is having trouble reproducing this.

We will need:

  • PSN ID/Origin ID/Xbox Gamertag
  • Platform you play on (Ex: Series X, S, PS5)
  • Franchise type (offline/online)
  • Are you using a custom roster and draft class?
  • What year are you into the Franchise? What week is this happening?
  • What position & player name are you experiencing this with
  • Did you use fantasy draft for your franchise?
  • What dev trait are you upgrading?
  • Have you tried re-installing the game since this started happening?
  • Do you have more than one save file for your franchise? 

My franchise is freezing after my game trying to get back to the interface. No special dev trait game just a preseason game 

Playstation 5 disc version PSN: chaclatcheese

Offline Franchise 

Did not use a draft class when I tried to, it failed to load and ransoms popped up

I am in year 2 Week 2 preseason I am the browns playing the giants 

No issues with a player nor a position

no fantasy draft

no dev trait upgrade

i have not tried reinstalling the game, should I?

I only have 1 save file

I tried attaching a file but it will not let me take a video or a picture. It’s the loading screen it gets stuck on. The animations are there it just won’t go to the next screen. Also it starts getting buggy near the end of the game. If I don’t press anything the game will not automatically advance. I have to press x to get to the playbook screen, usually after a brief time it would automatically take you there. Ex. I scored a touchdown with Kareem Hunt, I chose the crowd celebration, he jumped up there and the animation lasted for about a minute and a half, usually it was a 15-20 second thing tops. It’s almost like the game started slowing down. I’ve tried skipping the post game, letting the post game go through without touching anything. Still the same result. Last game after it ended it didn’t show any animations of the angry coach it just showed the ball laying on the field, no post game highlights just the ball laying on the field until it eventually hit the box score, and then the loading screen of death.

    The forcing advance and editing the players dev trait allowed me to continue my franchise. Thanks everyone! Separate issue in the same franchise...I just played an entire game and when I left the game the game stats and scores didn’t register. It just said I played the game. Frustration levels are through the roof.
