[FHM 10] Currently softlocked due to a "bug" with the expansion draft in historical leagues?

(This is a repost because my previous post was in the incorrect forum, sorry!)

The game is currently doing an expansion draft for Nashville, but the game is trying to expand to two teams, & only Nashville exists in the game. So it is trying to expand to a second team that doesn't exist & crashes during the expansion draft. I don't have a previous save on July 1st & I'm currently on July 2nd. Right now I'm soft-locked. Is there anyway I can revert this or go back to July 1st to fix the expansion draft?
I don't have any backups because I always do the "save & exit" thing.

I believe the game crashes because I am doing a historical league, but I'm changing up the teams. I removed the Florida Panthers from the game because adding them would increase the league to over 32 teams. Because of this, I think the game is trying to expand into Florida as well as Nashville, but Florida isn't in my save so It's trying to expand to a team that doesn't exist & immediately crashes then they select a player in the draft. Nashville can select their first player fine, but the nonexistent team immediately crashes.

Since the Auto Save stuck me on July 2nd, I'm unable to go back & remove the "Panthers" from the expansion draft. Is there any way I can fix this? Thank you so much in advance if this is possible

The only way to go back would be if one of the backup save folders (rs_one and rs_two) has a version of the save that's from July 1 or earlier. Try copying the contents of one of them into the main save folder, overwriting the files that are there, and then load the save to see if it moved you back far enough. If not, try the other one.

Sorry for the late reply, both both backups were on the 2nd day ):
Thank you though.
