Be a Pro Sim To Next Shift Bug

Product: NHL 21
Platform:Sony Playstation 4
How often does the bug occur? Often (50% - 99%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? When playing a game in Be a Pro, just sim to your next shift.
What happens when the bug occurs? The entire period gets simmed and you don't get any ice time, usually it's for the rest of the game. It happened to me MANY times already. You get 1 shift in the first period, then it automatically sims through the rest of the 1st period, 2nd period, and to the end of the game and you don't get any more ice time.
What do you expect to see? I expect to get the typical number of shifts per period based on the length of the periods I set for Be a Pro mode. (I play "medium" so I should be getting 3 - 4 shifts per period.)
Was the issue in online or offline mode? Offline
Insert Game Mode or Feature here Be a Pro
What time did you see the bug? (HH:MM AM/PM) MANY times! Every time I've tried to play Be a Pro and sim to my next shift since game launch!
What is your time zone? PRT - GMT - 4:00
What is your gamertag/PSN ID? xScar3dSnip3rx

Whenever I select "sim to your next shift" in Be a Pro - whether it's after you've been drafted or during whatever tournament you choose - it sims the whole shift and you don't get any more ice time. It also sims the entire 2nd and 3rd period, so your Be a Pro doesn't get any more ice time. This then causes you to fail any and all challenges you got from your coach. That causes you to get demoted down to lower lines until you're on the 4th line and then they "healthy scratch" you. At that point, the coach will just keep you as a healthy scratch or they will say they're "giving you a shot" every 3rd game or so, but the bug happens again. So, you get 1 shift then the sim bug happens and you don't get more than that 1 shift.

    Sorry dude BAP is bugged to hell now and they aren’t really focused on it. Pretty stupid how you’ll just get scratched instead of sent down eh? As if juniors or ahl wasn’t even implemented. Pretty sad. 

    maybe in the new year they might fix this stuff but I’ve given up on it. Played 6 seasons of BAP and it was the worst bug filled underwhelming experience I’ve ever had playing a video game.

    If you change the Be a pro setting to classic instead authentic, you can choose length of periods and there is no simming option during games. For example if you put 6 min periods you get few shifts during the period and while on bench you just watching your teammates playing the game. It's much more fun way to play the game imo.
