After creating a custom league the game crashes when I start a sim. This happens if I use all of the default settings or if I change some of them. I don't encounter a crash if I use the NHL 2013/2014 new game tab.
Edit: Forgot to mention that I have been trying the 24 teams, 2 conferences, 4 divisions, 84 games.
Edit: Winnipeg59 is doing some excellent tests for custom leagues that explains and helps solve the issue.
