Yip, got the same crash issue as u guys post patch..
Anyways after seriously blowing my game up and destroying records etc (and recking my current game in the process

) i seem to have found some common cause..
It appears this bug is an issue where scouting accuracy is set to "Very High"
I can actually get it to crash with this on a fresh game start, just create an MLB style fictional league, set scouting accuracy to Very High -> Start Game -> crash during scouting
Doesnt appear to do it on the other settings
hope that helps someone..
