Season mode crash nhl 26

Twice I've started a season and both times it randomly crashes. I think cause I did an NHL to AHL trade between two teams I don't control it happened. I do full control mode of rosters

Anyone else run into this issue, how can I fix it?

    Hello. Just so I understand you right, you're saying that you've created to seasons and both are crashing? Are you able to load back in to them and still have it crash in the same place?

    Same problem. I did ahl to nhl trade and now when I try to start/simulate match game starts loading that match and then game crashes. (xbox version)

    Do you have an old save you can load from before this trade happened? I'm wondering if you can go back to that and try again. Something else you can try is deleting the personal saved data. To do that, please follow these steps. There is the risk of losing offline saves and changes to settings you've made. Normally, those download from the cloud, but I can't guarantee this.

    1. Hit the Guide button on your controller
    2. Highlight the NHL 26 icon
    3. Hit the Menu button. It's the small one to the right of the guide button with the 3 horizontal lines on it
    4. Choose Manage game & add ons
    5. Go to Saved data
    6. Delete the file with your gamertag on it


    Let me know what happens. Thanks!

    Sadly, I had autosave toggled on, so no older save is available. (Only very old one where I just started the season) I've tried deleting personal data, and it's still the same problem. I even tried to "revert" that trade, so I swapped players back to where they were before, but it didn't work either. That save seems to be totally broken. When I start/simulate a match, the golden EA logo starts spinning (loading) for like 5 seconds, and then game crashes.

    Thanks for trying. I'm sorry to say, you're going to need to start a new season mode. I can't think of a way to recover from this.
