Menu glitch, game frozen. Can't save, close, or do anything.

I mean clearly there has been little work done to increase menu smoothness and speeds from nhl21 onwards, but to get the menu to get lost and freeze in SINGLEPLAYER (not online lag issues) in the year of our lord 2025 is unbelievably embarrassing. This **bleep** is elementary to get correct , yet the multi billion dollar EA videogame company can't figure it out for the life of them clearly.
