I'm having the same problem and frankly it's unacceptable. I bought this game on October 6th for early access and first it was the scouting bug (which took them a month to fix) then it was the player substitution bug, and now this. Setting aside the fact that this bug was in there from the beginning (I think) it makes franchise mode incredibly upsetting to play. You draft a player, spend the time developing him and he has a great season, he's an 88-89 player only for his overall to drop to 81 after you simulate, like what?!?! To spend $60 on a game only to see it riddled with bugs in the only game mode I play in INCREDIBLY frustrating. How have they not fixed this? How did they even release this game with this many bugs in it? Frankly this, along with the previous problems with scouting and line chemistry etc made me go back to NHL 20 because that game, while subpar, is at least playable.
@SkylerJames13 It truly baffles me how they released the game with SO MANY problems. While NHL 20 was, lets be honest, a carbon copy of 19, I don't recall any bugs in the single player modes. Now I understand that Covid drastically changed things for everyone, but I mean come on.... I thought the purpose of releasing the game a month later than they usually do was to weed out any systemic problems/bugs and yet, here we are; a month and a half after the release and still MAJOR bugs are there. When are EA going to get there dang act together and fix this game?!?
@TwoHeadedTOM @SkylerJames13 I just want this and the many other bugs to be fixed because tbh it’s about time and frankly if it doesn’t I might have to ask for a refund fr fr cuz this is just one of many bugs that makes this game unplayable
