Single Draft Final Match Crash – Opponent Team Missing (Switch 2)

While playing Ultimate Team Single Draft on Nintendo Switch 2, I encountered a serious bug during the final match:

1. When entering the game, no opponent players were visible on the pitch before kickoff.
2. Once the match started, the game crashed immediately and closed with a Switch error message.
3. After restarting the game and trying again, only two opponent players appeared, but the same crash occurred.
4. Upon relaunching EAFC 26, the game recorded the match as a loss, even though I was never able to play it.

This issue effectively invalidated my final match and Draft rewards, making progress impossible.

Steps to reproduce:

1. Reach the final game of a Single Player Draft.
2. Start the match (observe missing opponent players).
3. The game crashes once the match begins.
4. Restart and reattempt – issue persists.

Expected result:

The match should load normally with a full opponent squad and no crash.

Actual result:

Opponent lineup fails to load, followed by a crash, and the game incorrectly counts it as a loss.

Platform: Nintendo Switch 2

Game Mode: Ultimate Team → Single Player Draft

Issue Type: Crash / Progress loss

Frequency: Occurred twice consecutively on the final match
