Association AND Season Freeze Issue

[Culture Games]

Im having a first time ever issue where when I try to begin an association or a season, the game freezes on "Loading, Please Wait...". I have to then close the game. Im confused because both were just working yesterday with this roster file. There are no other problems in any other game mode. I didnt edit anything too out of the ordinary. Does anyone know what causes this, or even better, how to fix it?

With nothing to go off, ive tried fixing this true extensive testing. Ive narrowed down that it being caused by the "Teams" tab, but cannot crack why. If anyone knows, i would really appreciate it!

Even more confusing, beginning an association with a default roster, then copy and pasting over the "Freeze" roster works fine, even with deep simming. Something with the teams tab of 1 or 2 teams is causing season and association to crash when initializing---and i still cant get tot he bottom of it.

Which roster are you using?
This happened to me once using a retro URB roster. It only happened after adjusting the lineup and defensive matchups prior to the game.

Thanks for checking in Tgso, Im using my own roster that had 2000 UBR as a base. I did some importing, some copy and pasting, nothing different than i've done on rosters for years. Something went wacky along the way, as i have working backups after each month I edit. It's just driving me crazy that I cant pin point whats going on. Something in the teams tab, and either "Roster" or "Situational Lineups". I checked and made sure there were no duplicates. The part I cant get passed is the Initalizing Season or Initalizing Association screen. NOTHING else crashes, even during association if I use a trick to get passed it.

The trick to get past it is to start an association with a working roster, then copy and paste the tabs you want over it.

Great answer to your own question! At least this post may help someone else. It's a lot better than "Never mind, I fixed it" responses.
