Product: NHL 21 Platform:Sony Playstation 4 How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%) Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? Simulate? Changing settings? I don't know why it happens Edit:...

Looks like the game is struggling to process background information.
Do you have a base model system with a regular drive? If NHL is bring played off an external HDD I suggest moving it to system storage - Normally I would say next year's game should be better but unless you're lucky enough to snag a PS5 I can only assume the same problems will persist
No, no external HDD. Completely base PS4.
I'm just wondering when we get to the point where bugs are fixed during the current game instead of saying "I hope it's better next year". The offline players shouldn't get shafted for an entire year, then be expected to just buy the next one in *hopes* of it being better. I also hope that this was an issue presented by the recent update and will be fixed with the next one as I did not have any issues beforehand, although others have had it dating back to NHL 16 at least. Probably since the series moved to the PS4-XboxOne generation.
I'm guessing you're right about struggling to process a mechanic/information, in this case seemingly morale meetings, but the guy above said he's had the issue with morale meetings turned off, so who knows. I'm no expert
- @kguy1900 We never will get to the point of having a working FM, in nhl 21. And my hopes for a working FM in nhl 22 are slim, considering how backwards they went this year, and how unsupportive they have been for FM. Very few critical bug fixes, and then nothing despite the abnormal abundance of bugs.
I’ve had this bug in previous instalments as well, so I know it’s definitely not new. Just another bug that they’ve left in the gameMan, makes me glad I haven't bought since '15, if it's been going on that long, but at least I haven't encountered this (yet) on '21. Someone said in the Progress Reports bug thread(s) that turning off Morale Meetings fixed that one, too, but I've had that off the whole time, and no luck there... no Progress, no Franchise. Of things worth adding to enhance FM, "morale" ain't it, to me. I shut off pricing hot dogs, too.
- @davehoehn970 Morale was one of the worst additions. I would be very happy if they just removed it since they will never be able to get it to work realistically.
I find owner mode to be really meh. I would prefer more focus on the GM aspects like making the GM AI better, trade values actually fixed, have the chemistry issues addressed, everything that I’ve been talking about since launch
