I’m having the same problem. And we’re not the only ones. I haven’t found any fixes. I’ve had to completely stop playing which is a bummer because I’ve been getting into it. EA needs to fix this immediately. This single month since the game released has been terrible.

I am a PlayStation user and having the same issues. I'm not sure how a game can get released with so many issues. Very frustrating to sit and wonder whether or not the game will even work when you pay 90+ Dollars. Not sure how EA thinks charging a premium and underdelivering for customers is a solid business practice. I'd sacrifice the Alex Ovechkin intro for consistent gameplay. Time to raise the standard.

Having the same issue but on PS4. It's been happening ever since the last update and this glitch has made franchise mode completely unplayable now. It's crazy because they finally fixed the glitch where goalies weren't showing up in the scouting page and now you can't edit lines. Surprised they didn't fix this already, honestly.

@EA_Aljo What about a patch for the broken trade value in NHL 21 Franchise Mode?

I don't have any information on that. Keep an eye on our official channels. That's where you'll find the latest updates.

@EA_Aljo I thought I had already provided you with information on this? like this:
What do you mean by information? What do you want, a video of examples of the very? What's it going to take for EA to actually acknowledge and investigate this issue, and then fix it?

What I mean is that I don't have any information on whether or not this is going to be addressed.

@EA_Aljo It is an obvious issue why hasn't EA investigated it? If they have it'd be at least nice to know they're working on coming up with a solution/fix, maybe the team doesn't know how to quite fix it yet that's fine for now.

This takes about 5-10 minutes to check out:
For information on it, simply sim up to a couple days before the first trade deadline. From that point forward, trade value is broken; extremely unrealistic like I've ever seen in the series. Just go to player search, search for players (27 and over) 82 overall and under; guaranteed trade value for certain players is extremely high. Then try players (27 and up) 86 overall and up; you may see players with extremely low value.

Hope this helps
