Any ideas what I can do? I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling the game, no luck. PLEASE don't tell me my league is corruptted, I've been playing it for 30 seasons, I might cry
At this point I doubt your league is corrupt. You say that you've been playing for 30 game years. That's an awful lot of files that OOTP has stored.

The following advice is to be used at your own risk. Try using the Purge Tool that Markus developed. The Purge Tool removes 'deleted' teams and players from the game and hence reduces file size. This is a very complex operation, use at your own risk and never without backing up your league files. The Purge Tool can be found by clicking on the OOTP button > Game Database Info and at the lower right click on Tools and at the bottom of that sub-menu is the Purge Tool.

Alternatives would be doing a disk check (as Biggio mentioned) and a Defragmentation of your HD.

Please let me know if any of these methods is successful at solving your issue.

Thanks!
