Menus take a moment to catch up to changes / can crash game if done too fast.
Massive lag on swing animation and meter. You need to swing on instict verses the animation and swing meter because if you wait for it, it overfills.

EA Staff (Retired)Hey @evilstans When you have a moment can we try going through the following steps and check if this continues?
Can’t get much further than the main menu screen on the game before crashes. Occasionally will be able to load up a quick play game but game will crash before I am able to take 1 swing. Sometimes the game will close out and go to xbox menu, other times system will need hard reset. So disappointed, had this game for 2 days and haven’t been able to take a single swing…
Hi, It didn't help. However with some testing, it seems to be the game not the actual input:
The menu tab indicator changes, but it takes a few seconds for the tab to load. The tab crash was from the store tab - which seems to have fixed itself.
The input on the swing baffles me - everthing else works and responds but just the swing. i looked at other post and adjusted the swing speed, but I can't say this actually helped.
Been having this problem myself, as I'm typing this my game has froze l, it seems to be almost every time I go to the 'Mastery' tab in 'Quests' & as for the Swing Lag, that's been infuriating me since day one (April 4th) for the life of me I can't figure why it does it, first I thought it was a connection issue due to lag in the menus, it's not, then I thought it was someing to do with my pad, changed to a different pad, then a wired one, still no joy, but it's becoming more & more constant as I play the game & it totally destroys your shot when it happens as it deems you as playing an extremely slow shot causing huge power/distance loss & massive directional change...
Yeah, on the Series X the swing lag is terrible! Most of the time there is a certain amount of lag to every swing (especially on the downswing), but every once in rare while it will actually read the swing input when it is supposed to, and on the other extreme I can start on my downswing, and on the rare occasion it won't even register it at all! The bar just keeps going up and my swing ends up a mess.
It is fairly unplayable this way. I tested it out on my PC (the 10 hour trial) and on the PC the swing mechanic works just fine. It's a Series X issue as far as I can tell.

Summarize your bug Game freezes and returns to xbox home. Evertime any game mode is loaded.
How often does the bug occur? Every time (100%)
Steps: How can we find the bug ourselves? How did you miss this in the first place? Game is unplayable.
What happens when the bug occurs? Throws out of game after screen freezing.
What do you expect to see? A game that actually works
How this was allowed to be released is baffling.
For those having issues with lag and thinking its an Xbox issue i can assure you im on PS5 and have the exact same issues the games menus are so slow its unreal, and then the game itself when you swing its down to blind luck and not skill where you hit the ball
Running 4K 60hz this game constantly freezes and boots back to main menu. Changed the resolution to 1080p no issues at all. Running the game on Xbox series x other games with higher refresh rates can run for hours in this setup with zero issue in 4k
Having this crash problem on Xbox series S - I have seen many people report this bug. Yet, no one has replied with an answer. This has been an issue for me now for 3 days. We need a fix if we want to continue career mode.
