Yup. Has happened to me 3x so far in the middle of the game. Console shuts down and I have to resync the controller.
The game causing consoles to do this, I wonder if it'll cause any long term issues with the console.

What systems are experiencing it? I'm on PS5 and have seen no issues with crashes and hope it's isolated to Xbox. :)

I haven't played since the patch but for those crashing have you tried deleting the reserved space?

I have had it happen multiple times. Mostly in MUT....Trying to select cards it just boots me out or in Draft Solos....Kind of annoying...Maybe connected to being an online mode.

Can anyone verify if this is on digital or physical copy or both?

I had a crash in CFM right off the bat XSX. I deleted the reserved space and loaded the game back up and played 3 games without any issues.

Did you all keep versions of the game saved on your console? Did you delete the past gen version?
