Hi,
I jsut want to start by saying that I apologize for the length but I have had some very frustrating times tonight. I just purchased the game today because I wanted, as an Arizona Diamondbacks fan, to be in control of my team since its inception. I have not been able to get a single historical league to work since I have tried.

Here are the problems:

First, I tried to create it with the ADVANCED option. This was because I also wanted accurate minor league team names. So it would start to create the league and then right at the very end of it when the OSA SCOUTING progress bar would start to fill my computer would crash (I have a brand new MacBook pro with almost nothing installed on it).

After this, the league would be formed and I could access it but the players would have no ratings and I would be able to control my team but would not be listed anywhere on the staff and as such if i simmed it would allow the team to make trades ect. on its own.

I have tried this over 10 times and have crashed every single time. I have reinstalled, I have tried to use my custom photos and logos I downloaded, and I have tried to not use them. I have done everything I can. As a matter of fact, this is the second time I have had to type this post because I tried it again (using 1997 so maybe i could just sim a season and let it reset stats and I could do my own draft) but it crashed again and I have had to retype this. My computer has never crashed otherwise.

If anyone has had this happen to them or knows what I should do please tell me. This is the reason that I bought the game.

Thank you for all the help and again I apologize for the length.

EDIT - I checked the FAQ and I can get it to work without using the complete history but I am a stats nerd and thats part of why I bought this so I am really hoping there is a way to make it work with full history.
