Players freezing in motion during a play

Has anyone else had an issue with players freezing in mid motion during a play?

I have had this issue twice in the last few days while playing solo battles.

Both times, it happened when I sacked the CPU quarterback and caused a fumble that bounced away from me. I tried to change players to recover the ball. TJ Watt was the closest to the ball. Both times it was TJ Watt that was froze mid run. The CPU right tackle that was trying to block Watt was also froze mid motion. I could not switch to Watt and he remained frozen for the remainder of the play.

I don't know if it's exactly what you are describing, but yes -- this type stuff happens all the darn time.  All year receivers runners would simply stop mid-way through their routes for no reason.  I'll have random SUBLB or whatever that just get "stuck" and hover at or near the line of scrimmage, with no ability to move away from there.  To say this game is a buggy ass mess, would be putting things way too gently.  EA is an absolute train-wreck and they've given up on even pretending to try at this point.

I'm sorry, this stuff sucks... it's why i barely play Madden with my 10 year old.  He used to leave games in tears because of all the game-breaking bugs and glitches, we couldn't even get through 4 quarters of play without some travesty.  It's better now that he's ten and a bit more well equipped to handle the disappointment, but that was THE entire reason we got Madden the past couple/few years in a row, so we could play the game together.  Unfortunately, that ship has now sailed, i'll never forgive EA for robbing me of the opportunity to further bond with my kid over our mutual interests.
