Your existing savegames will be compatible with the updated game, but some of the update's fixes may not retroactively correct certain problems in existing saves.
This hotfix corrects a few issues with the 5.8.70 update:
-custom games will no longer crash when starting employed in certain league configurations
-issue with the current year's draft picks disappearing from the interface (e.g. in the team data screen and the trade windows) will now auto-fix itself when the save is loaded; we haven't been able to identify what's causing this, but if you see it, exiting and reloading the save will fix it
-fixed issue with news story cleanup in multiplayer leagues leaving blank stories
-fixed some historical challenges that weren't being awarded correctly
-a few small typos and UI issues fixed
-some minor data corrections and updates
