EA, your reply with a link that doesn't address the question is extremely disappointing. Clearly, the complaint is not that players are missing, but that the off player blocks a def player that doesn't exist, while the actual def player there, is ignored by the off player. This results in an immediate blow up of the off play. To think, and then suggest, that pausing the play, once the bug is detected, is even possible. Then to offer that the solution in the link could result in the off player blocking the def player. Then, now with the play paused, resume the play and it will be good, is just plain stupid. Offer a real answer or nothing at all.
This makes the game impossible to play.
The only thing that makes this kind of bug happen more than once, is because you can reset and replay the game. Also, it doesn't happen every time.
Otherwise, if something like this happens, you don't play the game ever again.
I, and many others, have many games that, for many different game-play problems, lead to never playing that game again.
Don't be that game.
