ADDITIONAL NOTES:
I am playing on an XBox One X
I play with FULL ROSTER CONTROL
I attempted a second season where I started from scratch and simmed past the day that the game broke. Everything was fine. I made a trade (can't recall if it was that same one or not) and the season broke. Same thing. Unable to move past that day.
I then restarted and simulated maybe 6 seasons to get past that point where my team had a record somewhat close to what it was in the original season. At this point, the game no longer breaks the season when I attempt a trade, instead literally 100% of trade attempts tell me that a team will be left with less than 2 playable goalies. I have been playing NHL since 96 so I know all the tricks to get around this (which is another massive headache each year) but none of them work. No trades will go through.
I hope this helps.
