First story mode race not starting

Product: Need for Speed: Unbound
Platform:PlayStation 5
Summarize your bug I have completed every activity online and collectibles, now i want to do story mode but it will not let me enter the first race
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Check my ea file
What happens when the bug occurs? When im trying to start the race it wont allow me to sidebet or start the race
What do you expect to see? Options to side bet or start race

I just want to complete the story line as i habe all the trophies and i enjoyed the game enough to play the story twice

    Summarize your bug Game progression is stuck

    Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? It might be because I didn’t complete the intro. But you can drive to an event and it won’t start.
    What happens when the bug occurs? You can’t press anything but options
    What do you expect to see? It won’t start when you press start event. You press options and it goes to the main event screen.

    Here we are in volume 3. This has been an ongoing issue according to what I found online. I’m sure it’s leaving the first race at the start of the game or the intro whatever you want to call it… today I try to play it and to my surprise, you can’t start the first event. You drive there to the meetup, requires $0 to start, you start it, pick a car shows the list of racers then, it takes you to this screen where you’re staring at another racer and can apparently press square to start the event. This is where the issue comes in… nothing happens. Nothing you can press actually does anything except options which just takes you to the start of the meetup screen.

    they say deleting the save data is a fix but, it isn’t. You do that, you lose your online profile in its entirety meaning that multiplayer progress? Gone. I clocked 225 hours on this game and that’s not happening. But here we are 3 volumes in and pretty long dark periods with 0 information and this is still going unfixed. Are we really going to wait months again in the dark for there to be a fix for this?

    Summarize your bug Can't start first race in story mode, stuck on sidebets.
    How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
    Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Well play online before story.
    What happens when the bug occurs? Nothing.
    What do you expect to see? Obviously that I can play story mode.

    Am I really expected to delete 80 hours of multiplayer progress just to start the first race in story mode? This is a joke.

    Guess noone has a clue. Product does not work. Support stays silent.

    Summarize your bug Players can't play "Single Player Game" if they play/complete the "Multiplayer Game" beforehand.
    How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
    Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? 1) Start a new game (new save file required) 2) Start Playing Multiplayer (do not start Single Player beforehand) 3) Advance in Multiplayer (we have %100 completed Multiplayer and unlocked cars) 4) Start Playing Single Player 5) Try to join 1st Race at Saturday Night 6) Race doesn't start (%100 of the time) and you can't do anything.
    What happens when the bug occurs? Players can't start the first race on Sİngle Player Game.
    What do you expect to see? I expect to start the first race on Sİngle Player Game.
