Crashes when I sim a custom game

Hi team! First of all I want to say thanks in advance for any help you can provide!

I made a custom game to test tactics and it constantly crashes on me when I try to sim a season. The weird thing is that sometimes I will restart the game, sim again and it will sim correctly but will crash a few days later.

The save file is a custom game and the players are heavily edited using a macro so if something is broken it's probably my fault, but I couldn't find the cause of the crashes.

I tried turning on the trace file, sometimes when it crashes I can see "Alternative Player -> NULL". All the teams should have a complete 20 players roster, and all the lines should be full. Would that cause a crash if a team is missing a player?

(Edit: I tried adding 1 more player to each team so they all have 21 but I still get the same error/crash)
(Edit 2: I tried using the classic sim engine instead of 2D, I can sim for a few months but it will eventually still crash, I also have "Alternative Player -> NULL" in the debug log when it crashes using the classic engine)

I will DM the link to the save file to Jeff.

Let me know if you need more information!

Yes, it's crashing because there are no additional players on the rosters for teams to use if injuries/suspensions occur. Try adding a few more players to them.
