After some more investigating I discovered the culprit to be the 'Player Movement' and "Roster Moves' features. If you use these feature during Season mode and move players from team to team any team that had a player removed or added will clear ALL team lines, the Assistant Coach feature does not automatically adjust the lines and will just clear all options. If the player then tries to simulate forward when there is a team with unfilled lines the game will freeze when simulating forward. This bug DOES NOT occur if there is an injury however, the Assistant Coach can successfully update the teams lines/roster without issue, it's just when done manually by the player.
Moving players around will also result in duplicates occuring at times. I've encountered up to 3 duplicates at times. 1 in Free Agency, 1 on the NHL squad and 1 on the AHL squad. Modifying rosters in Season mode is just a mess right now. This needs to be fixed as everytime there is a manual roster change it takes a long time to manually refill a team's lines from scratch.
season mode is unplayable now due to these freezes...EA, fix this asap please
