I started my first Be A Pro on NHL 16 and had it set to classic settings so I could take shifts whenever I wanted. However, when I saved and exited to change some global settings (don't get why you have to go to main menu to change some settings either) and came back, the Be A Pro settings had somehow changed to Authentic, which now cannot be changed back. What gives?

@Furmie360 Hi, Unfortunately this setting currently resets every-time you re-launch the game. Once you are in the game however, you can customize them once more and they will persist for your current game session. Cheers, Nils

EA Access 10 hour preview, Xbox One.
Started a Be a Pro career using default settings (20 minute periods, Authentic). Felt the games took too long to play for my liking, but could not change the settings (the two mentioned here were grayed out and inaccessible).
Started a second Be a Pro career using my own settings (6 minute periods, Classic). Played the first game (OHL - Mississauga Steelheads) without issue using these settings.
Later returned to the game, using the Continue button from the main menu. The settings in my second career were reset back to 20 minutes, Authentic, and again grayed out and unable to be changed.

I have tried changing them for my current session, but as you can see in my original post the settings I wish to change are grayed out and unable to be changed.

I've had this issue multiple times created 5-6 players hoping it would no happen, on my last character can't stand restarting and trying me to get drafted 1st overall.... Called EA today about, they are definitely working on it, buddy told me he would hate having to restart so he's gonna get to the bottom of it and hopefully be updated ASAP. Hope he's telling the truth.

@EA_Nils No, you really can't customize that setting. It locks the game mode, and by extension the period length, so you can't change it.

Seriously fix this bug ASAP 40 min games are unacceptable as is your shoddy pre-release testing!

I saw in another thread that if you turn off the cloud saving feature on PS4 then it supposedly fixes this issue. Not sure if it works but can't hurt to try.
