Now that you mention it, I do have a keyboard and mouse plugged in for some of the games my son plays, but no external drives or devices other than those. Could that really be what was causing the whole console to crash while playing this? I uninstalled the game out of frustration, but I’d love to be able to get back in and finish it. I’d rather they just fix the bug so I can just play my games without needing some workaround, but if this helps me finish the game I’m willing to try it.

Are you using an external hard drive or have anything hooked up to the console's USB slots? Just to verify third party devices aren't at play here? (Guitar Hero Dongles caused players to get stuck at the loading screen for FIFA and some external drives caused performance issues for UFC)
I have absolutely nothing plugged to my Xbox Series X and the game is crashing or loose its sound so often that I'm starting to really be pissed about it. The frustration of having to restart a whole career mission because of a crash or after accumulating a lot of Rep is just unbearable now.
And what am I seeing here ? The post is from last January and only a special sports games CM passed by asking for absurd questions.
It is time to give us answers. And a fix !
I'm relieved but also disappointed that this many people are experiencing this issue. I ended up finishing the game on my Xbox One because I didn't want to risk bricking my Series X.
I wouldn't keep my hopes up for any proper fix though considering Ghost left EA a long time ago (which is why we're not getting any QOL updates because it's a dead game with no devs)
Maybe a workaround will come up one day. Keep trying folks!
It just crashed on me while I was doing great with a ton of REP. (I was going for the 1 million Rep achievement.)
You can easily guess how pissed I am about it.
The game crashed while I was using a long jump. Then, it moved forward a bit frame after frame and after a little while, I was able to play again for a few seconds while the sound was crashing too.
Then, crashed again. Waited for a good while, hearing sometimes the sound for a split second like it was trying to come back and it was the game itself working again but without the sound. Was able to drive for something like 30 seconds and then crashed again. For an even longer wait this time. Sometimes, like the sound, the frame is moving a bit like it want to come to life again but without success. So after a long wait, I was able to move my car again. I quickly bring her to the nearest garage to hope for my Rep to register. That I did just in time to see the "End of Night" then while fading to the garage, crashed again. Waited a very long time again for the game to get back to life again and make sure it saves my Rep. And when it did, I closed it and rebooted my XSX.
By the way, I did a hard reset to factory of my XSX before having this unfortunate gaming session so to prove it once again the PROBLEM IS NOT FROM US.
Here's a screenshot when the game crashed originally in this session.
Yo Criterion ! Come take over the forums and the NFS Heat support ! We need your help, capable hands, to fix this game and I cross my finger for you to make NFS great again with the next iteration !
That's just unacceptable to let down NFS Heat for so long for people that play it on next gen consoles !
I don't have a Xbox One anymore so if I want to play the game, it is on XSX and currently (and since the Xbox Series came out) the game is broken on it ! So do something ! Thank you.
