My game locked up for a minute or two today but it eventually recovered. Its been like that for a while now. It didnt load today, it said it was an old date.
I ask because I been having the same problems a lot lately. It has even been freezing after I open it. Just let me know if yall are still having trouble with my file after tomorrow's sim.
Was there a reason the exports for non-playoff teams were not imported during the playoffs? Lost a bunch of progress I made with the farm system, extensions, etc. Just wish I had known.
Try and reinstall the file. Every time I did a sim I grabbed everyone's export. We've been having some problems with the Dodgers team file lately so it may have caused someone to lock up and not grab yours for whatever reason.
Anyone know where I can DL the logos/uniforms? I tried dling the link from the setup thread but it is not working.
I know it says Development budget can be changed but I cannot change it, says I have to wait until the Pre-Season.
