I will start this by telling everyone how much I love this game. I have been playing sports Sim's for 46 years. Ethan Allen Spin Baseball was the first real player Sim for me in the mid 60's. I bought this game for the first time in v.6. I have been using gaming software of some kind for the last... I don't know, since they stares producing gaming software. Maybe I've just been picked out as the one, but I have never used a more temper mental unforgiving piece of software in my life. I don't think in the last 7 years I have completed more than 3 full seasons this is not an exaggeration. I try and play out every game, 162 of them which makes it all the worse. I, like many of us work long and hard preparing for a new universe. I use parks, uni's, logos everything. Just fixing the ballpark coordinates for every single stadium is sometimes overwhelming. But it's a labor of love. All of it somehow. I lie in bed at night with the lights out rework my lineups. I sit at work and think about trades. I search for the perfect park.... But one way or another I almost always crash. I've played this game now on three different computers so I know it's not the computer. Sometimes it comes from power interruptions, the other times I can never tell. Here I am again tonight after 3 more weeks of pre-work, 2 weeks into my season that I simmed for 10 years and ...DONE. I loaded the game tonight and it quit on me when "finalizing" first time it's happened there. Yes I backed up my game in the game date Nov,11th. Since then, I have had free agency, trades, the rule 5 draft etc. I don't want to have to back up my game once a week. I shouldn't have to. I don't know if I can do this anymore. I know I don't want to. I'm not going to just start over again. I don't think I can. It's been over a year since I completed a season. Is there anybody with the company willing to take my saved game file and try and figure it out this time. Don't really want to put in a ticket and wait and wait till vacation is over. I normally just sulk for 4 or 5 days and start all over. I don't think I can do that this time. I'm sorry to whine, I'm just at my wits end.
