Summarize your bug In classic franchise while using the 'player role', as a HB fantasy drafted to the dolphins, rather than coach or owner. I am experiencing a freeze of some kind after the first or second drive during the Trap play exercises. It cuts to the aerial field view that usually serves as a loading screen, but it never cuts back to the next training exercise to advance. I am able to back out of the training, but it doesn't save the progress. One other training exercise (the run skills/stick skills training) was using mechanics from madden 20 such as L2+R2+Square to celebrate, L2+Triangle to hurdle, etc., but the problem is that Madden 21 changed the layout of these things so now when I need to hold L2 for the game to register me hurdling I end up celebrating and not completing the training. Not the biggest deal, but still it doesn't seem to be working properly.
How often does the bug occur? Often (50% - 99%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Play through Trap run or ball carrier skills training in classic franchise (FANTASY DRAFTED TO THE DOLPHINS) mode in the player role as an elusive HB.
What happens when the bug occurs? Soft freeze
What do you expect to see? The next part of the training exercise

Really more of a small annoyance than it is a big deal.

  • Have had the same problem repeatedly on different teams. Also got to a point once where the clock ran down to 0 and it initiated the final stage of the practice with no players on the field but there were indicators and it let me "snap" the ball but after that the camera just hovered and nothing happened.

  • @dnvbrn Having the same problem on PC. Did face of the franchise and converted to regular franchise mode. Only the trap practice is doing this, but I have the same exact problem. Really frustrating.
  • This happens with particular training types for player role franchise mode. I had it happen when playing as a HB and when playing a different franchise as a QB. It's always the same types of training too. Trap plays for HB, Smash pass concept for QB, and several others. Every time they come up in the rotation, you have to sim or skip them because it freezes with that flying drone view. Very annoying that it's still an issue several months and updates later.

  • @dnvbrn I'm having this issue with QB on Franchise Mode. Not just trap plays, on some passing routes if the play is not successful, then practice freezes and I have to end the training session then at one point, I had four straight successful plays and on the 'go for gold' play, the session froze. When this happens I am unable to complete training and therefore have to forfiet any XP that would have been earned that week....

    Running trap plays or HB training exercises in Franchise Mode as Elusive HB causes soft freeze after first completed attempt.

  • Have had the same problem repeatedly on different teams. I’ve use QB as the player in Franchise Mode and it occurs in the Smash Pass Concept and the Pa Post option trainings. I will throw 2passes(this is in both trainings) and then the camera will pan around the field and when it come back to the training there are no players on the field. It will show the ball, field and the play art and it will allow you to sometimes hike the ball with no players and then it freezes. What can I do about this? In order for me to get some kind of points I have to Simulate the training and I’m loosing valuable training XP’S and I can’t get points for my players. I’m using a PS4 system with 1TB and I’m playing Madden 22.
