All my players have been replaced by fake/retired players

I am playing an MLB standard start and am going into my forth season and all of a sudden all the players in the game have been replaced by fake/retired players.

See the screenshot for an example (I'm playing as the Cubs).

When I click on a new item for an existing player, it takes me to a screen for a fake or retired player.

The game was running fine and I went to look at my Rookie league team and then the game just shut down. When I opened it again and loaded the save, that's when I noticed the issue.

Is there any way I can restore the players (I don't have a backup).

Thanks.

Rule #1: Always back a game up.
Rule #2: You do not talk about...wait, see rule #1.

It won't hurt, that I know. Good luck.

Thanks for the link. Unfortunately, it didn't work.

I guess I need to back up my saves more often.

How often do you back up a save?

Thanks.
