Same thing is happening to me on Xbox. Advanced into week 3, and it sat on the simulating screen for probably 7-8 minutes before I assumed it froze. I closed the game, re-loaded, now the only things that show up on the Things To Do tab are scouting players and improve team.

I have the same problem. Tried restarting, forcing wins, and redownloading saves and nothing works. I'm in my 7th season and really don't want to restart. Have you got a solution yet?

I've got the same issue, saw some reddit posts that also had this issue (can provide a link if an admin requests, not sure on terms of providing links here). Any workaround would be nice, even if it means I lose a game/season

No response from them, I filed a case with EA Help. I've looked through the forum and there have been multiple reports of this all the way back to September.

Unable to play game or advance week in online franchise 2026

★★★ Newbie

I have an online franchise on PS4 with two other people. We are in week 3 2026 and are unable to play our games.

 

We played our week 2 games and advanced the week. Now in week 3, our "Things to do" tab are missing the options to play, ready up, or advance the week.  We only see weekly awards, scout players, improve team. 

 

I noticed going to cloud franchise -> load franchise shows my league and it says we are in week 2 2026.   We should be in week 3.

 

 

 

We play quite often and would be devastated if our franchise is ruined. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

Hey all I wanted to follow up with you and see if this was eventually figured out. Are you still having this problem?

This has not been resolved, I have searched all through the forum. I have contacted EA 3 sewerage occasions. This needs to be fixed as everyone is wasting their time in frachise mode because it will eventually lose the advance options. Game then becomes unplayable. Not starting another franchise for this to happen again!  Resolution ASAP is needed.
