Re: career mode frozen on "sim to next fight offer"

@KnocksYOUoutCold It looks like clearing the game saved data can help fix this. Visit My Games & Apps, press start on the controller when highlight UFC>Manage Game>Clear Game Saved Data.

    Hey there.

    When you check your save files on your PS4, do you see this file showing up as corrupted?

    Hi, 

    No, I don’t see the file is corrupted, it just stays on the loading screen forever. And it’s also the time when I just won two divisions titles and tried to defend the new division championship for the very first time. 

    After that I created a new career and did the same thing, but just choose not to move up a division when I won two division title, this frozen thing won’t be the case.

    Thanks. We've seen this unfortunately pop up throughout this game's launch at random times. It seems to be rare. Do you remember if the game or console shut down during a save? Do you remember what you last did before this started happening? Anything strange from the previous fight?

    No, i didn’t do anything wrong before that, nothing strange from the previous fight

    Yes we are, it’s the case for so many peoples on video comment on YouTube forum on internet since like a year ago and nothink as been done, the game is like 70 euros here in France. 
    how is it disrespectfull for a compagny to sell something to players that doesn’t even work properly and do nothink abt it.

    So now what am I gonna do if I can’t play the game, do the challenge because everytime i will spend hours on a new carrier I will be bloked like that, what’s the point ? 
    It’s not against u im sure ur just an employe but this is just frustrating.

    I know right. Same here in Australia, the game is pretty expensive as well, it’s just dumb. Also I really hate how this game loads everything so slow

    At this moment we unfortunately are not aware of any workaround fixes to get the game to continue advancing for you. We can only advise to create a new career if this one is not able to be resumed. Do you remember if you did anything to the settings or fighter customization just prior to this?

  • Hi team,

    Same happening here on xbox one.. This is è super annoying please fix this bug soon

    I have tried the following but still facing career frozen when I go to next week:

    - uninstall and reinstall the whole game with all additional contents

    - clear local save game and reserved space

    - play with or without new fighter patch

    - do some minor actions (eg customize fighter or imorove fightight skills) to trigger a save game and then quit career by going back to home screen

    Still same behaviour: when I go to next week or simulate to next week the game crashes completely and the only way to go on is to restart the game.

    I had noticed the following strange behaviours in the game before It happened the first time:

    - the game was very slow in saving progress in the week training (eg after a sparring it would take more time than usual to let me select my next action)

    - often had to click A on go to next week a couple of times in the previous fights 

    - I had issue with customize character, such as I had to click on right joystick many times before accessing the customize character menu on the right

    - I ended up clicking A to customize the character but actually this made me move  to the next week. Just like there was some mess in the customize menu

    - faced some issues with the game licence (eg cannot find user licence error) 

    When I quit the career and went back the first time, I noticed I had a number of credits that was not coherent with my previous sparring. 

    This all seems like a very bad bug and I'm surprised no Q&A was able to spot this

    After this, I was never able to make career progress again. After achieving champion title I see no  reason why I should start over again

    Thanks

    Ps: also noticed EA logo stands still like it is unable to save game or connect  to the web

  • Also experiencing the same issue,was playing the game normally and started occurring everytime the clock/sim to next fight screen appears, and it just locks up the screen, no corrupted data, no closing in a save screen, anything like that, just started appearing

    @EA_Blueberry I tried this but it still goes back to being frozen on 'sim to next fight offer' screen. I even uninstalled and reinstalled the whole game, still no luck.

    It can't be that rare, this just happened to me and here it is 2023. They have had years to fix this issue but here I am with the exact same issue... 2 div Champ, first title defense at welterweight and... frozen. Career over... I guess I start all over??? 

    I really wish I had read all these reviews before spending my money.

  • Wronggggggggg that does not fix it. I have tried it multiple times. I'm now gonna have to restart my entire career that I was towards the end of. 😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡😡
