Annoying NHL 23 Glitch

I’ve been playing my brothers NHL 23 game for about 2 months now I believe. He’s had the game for about a year and a half. We’re not ones to upgrade to newer games with slightly better features so we’re stuck with NHL 23. In the Be A Pro gamemode, I was going into a game against San Jose. I scored nine goals but then with 3 mins left in the period, I simulated it out of instinct. The game froze and I couldn’t fix it. My only choice was to completely restart to game. I was so unbelievably angry, I almost broke the controller cause this has happened to me about 30 times now and it’s been more frequent lately. Hey EA sports, do you mind fixing this so that people who still play NHL 23 don’t have to be screwed over when they try and enjoy the game? Like I am being serious, I cannot take having to restart like 5 times just to win a game.
