EnglishHi.While playing BE A PRO match and simulating between shifts the game freezes and controller goes unresponsive.There is nothing I can do except close the application.It is really ruining my experience of the game.Happens now almost constantly.Its really frustrating to go through more than half of the game with 20 min periods, scoring in a tied game and experience the freezing.

This has been happening to me as well, just started doing it about a couple week ago. I’ll usually be able to play a few games without incident, but then just when I think I’m in the clear, it happens when I’m simulating a shift change, always in the 3rd period with like 5 minutes to go. This happens to about 1/3 of the games. It’s become so annoying, I don’t even play this anymore. I’m starting to think I should have spent my money on something more worth while. Waste of $80 in my opinion.

Seriously EA? 3+ months and can’t even be bothered to pretend to care with a BS copy+paste response?I’m having the same problem with the game just freezing during the 3rd period at random while simulating to the next shift in BAP, twice in a row while replaying the previous game where I had to force-restart the application. It’s interesting to me how, despite being an avid and very varied gamer in terms of genres, I never go to any other game-/developer forums other than EA to: report game-breaking bugs; to just complain about being utterly screwed over by a poor quality product, ZERO commitment to fixing even the most glaring bugs (often left untouched for several iterations) unless they threaten to negatively impact mtx-income from *#!%! HUT, broken promises and blatant false advertising (why the F would you ever decide to limit the broadcast presentation to “condensed”? Why would we ever want the “full” option to be removed? And then to have the stomach to focus 70% of your feature-trailers and promotion material around “improved presentation”!!!) or any number of other ways in which you manage to continuously let your PAYING customer base down with, year after year. Disrespectful, arrogant and/or incompetent and (if judged by the standards of any physical sales product not incorrectly lumped into subjective artistic and entertainment segments) downright criminally liable…

Happened now in third game in a row.This is so frustrating.

Happens with PS4 as well but not as often. Last time it happened I was on third period of game seven in playoffs leading the game.

@haair Happens to me because quick start is enabled on my Xbox. The longer the game runs in the background the more it freezes or acts weird due to a memory leak. The same issue happened in nhl 22 and was never fixed.
