HUT crashes to main menu every single time you press X to go into matchmaking

Start the game, main menu, go into HUT, switch mode from moments to ranked, press X to matchmake, loading and then crashes to error code "74A7FC65FB4D3505-0000000000009999-0971D5C2420381E0". When entering HUT again, I am back on the moments screen, having it reset from me switching to the ranked screen. This started happening after the update that occurred earlier today.

NHL 26 Be A Pro starting directly in NHL season

Hi!I've been a regular NHL player since NHL 17 and I've always played the Be A Pro mode, starting directly in the NHL and choosing the team I wanted to play each year, but I've found that in this NHL it's not possible.Am I doing something wrong or have they changed it and it's no longer possible?Thanks and regards.
