NHL 26 - Be a Pro - Stuck on salary perk screen

Hi,

I'm in my third NHL 26 be a pro season and I just finished the first game of the finals.  Once that game was finished and I attempted to sim to the next game I was presented with the salary perk screen.  Not sure if I'm using the proper terminology for that screen, but it's where you can buy, for example, vehicles, that allow you to improve your player's stats.  I've included an attachment that shows the issue.  It shows me as having $8 under funds available and over budget of over $1.5 million under funds spent.  Even if deactivate every single perk that can be disabled (some are bought once and stay bought) I can only manage to get it down to an over budget of about $97,000.  Obviously, the issue is the $8 under funds available.  Even if I close the game, turn off my console, go back into the game, when I choose to sim to the next game again (game 2) I'm once again presented with the salary perk screen.  Basically, I can't advance to the next game.  I tried to search the forums to see if anyone else had reported this issue, but I can't find anything.  Any ideas?

Thank you.
