I just played the trial version of BaP & I think this might help. Create the Preset options your looking to load in BAP mode but create the Preset from the main screen & save it. Go into the BaP Mode now and then try the steps below.
When you're loading the matchup do it as always. Once you have control of the game again, pause the match and open the settings for THIS MATCH, to into Accessibility Settings menu then look for Controller Accessibility to find the last option in the list should be the Preset Selections where you just pick the saved preset that u want.
I cannot open the game again right now so I cannot verify this but I'm betting that someone else will lol. I was playing the trial but it ran out of time & I highly doubt that I'm going to be buying the game in a state like NHL26 is in so I can what? START FROM SCRATCH FOR THE 6TH STRAIGHT EA NHL GAME RELEASE?!

EA barely listened to the players and DEFINITELY failed with the new HuT Mode by not including the same hut modes with the new HuT features NOT TO MENTION THAT WE STILL DO NOT HAVE A WAY TO USE OUR EXISTING HUT TEAMS OR THE ABILITY TO USE THE SAME BAP PROFILE (12 seasons and I'm expected to start all over)
I'll start the stuff all from scratch when EA gives me a free copy of it for my PS5 but I'm DONE buying a game that's not all that different than NHL24.
