Guys, I had this problem the first time I played the season, I use franchise mode, control 1 team. I used the woraround fix changing the date and that fixed it. I since have started the same season again, and I'm on August 7th of the season schedule and have not had the problem as of this date. I'm using the roster that was posted online by 2k when i started the season. Don't know if that helps but I thought it was worth throwing out there. If I run into that problem will post.
