NHL23 Xbox Series X

Every time in franchise mode when playing against the cpu when I pause my game and step away the cpu moves itself into the human player side. I can only control four out of five of my players because the cpu has taken my player away as the cpu. This is very frustrating because I enjoy playing this game but starting to want to never play an nhl ea sports game because I dealt with this same problem in nhl 22 & 21. Please help me fix this issue so I can continue playing with all of my players when I decide to pause my game whenever I choose.

    Hey there. This is really interesting. I haven't heard of that happening. Is a controller being assigned to that player also? Does this only happen when you pause? Unfortunately, there are no planned updates for NHL 23 so I don't see that issue being addressed.

    This happens every single time I play and pause my game.

    Ok. Unfortunately, I don't have anything to suggest for this. It sounds like an issue with older versions of the game. I haven't heard of this happening with NHL 24 or 25. It's not something that would be fixed for NHL 23.

    Ok.. will I guess I will speed up my regular season and play through the playoffs and start playing NHL24 and see what’s happens. Thanks for your quick response and advice. Stay tuned!

    I'm not guaranteeing it's fixed in 24. I just haven't heard of it happening. If you have an Xbox Game Pass subscription, 24 and 25 are available with EA Play so you could try it out.

    I've been using Elite 2 controllers for a few years and never experienced this. So, not sure it's related to that. However, I also don't play Franchise Mode. So, if it's an issue with that mode in particular, I wouldn't have had the chance for it to happen.
