could you make a new backup-, into a zip file, and save your game at current point, or is the expansion already done and you want to go back. i quit using the game backup myself, and started saving my game each critical point (all star, am. draft .etc) with a zip. All i need to do is unzip it in the same folder as my current game, giving it a similar but unique name (such as Crazy Game A and change name to Crazy Game A1). then i can select the Crazy Game A1 with load game feature ....

all this is a mute point if you've already expanded the league and want to go back to a point before that. But if all the other restores have failed, i don't know enough how to get them to work and the only thing i can think of is a new save with a different method., such as the zipping current file, then doing your expand etc....

i am not implying in any way, you did something wrong - simply it's a way to double check to see if you possibly missed a step. Probably not, but it's the only other thing i can think of that MIGHT be of assistance.

hopefully some one with more knowledge or a better idea comes along soon. But maybe this will help. Sorry i couldn't be more specific help. Good luck.
