I received the same error and app crash. I uploaded the affected zipped league dat files (c0000094game20.lg.zip).
The crash occurred when, 2 days after offseason began after 2nd year, I clicked on the 'ask ai to adjust roster' or whatever it says on the manager home page, I can't start the app to see. The app and system froze.
