You cannot take the World.dat file from one league and use it in another, no matter how similar they are in setup. They're still 2 different leagues.

You cannot take the World.dat from a previous time in your league and insert into a another date - the leagues are different because of the date.

You cannot edit the World.dat.

You could try posting in the Tech Support, maybe (big maybe) someone from development can look at it and see if they can find a way to salvage it.

You didn't say "how" you lost your save. Please explain what happened with as much detail as possible. Were you playing out a game and a crash occurred? Were you doing something with your lineups? Or is not a crash and something else happened?

Details are essential when trouble shooting.

Lastly - do regular backups. DO REGULAR BACKUPS! Sorry, don't mean to yell but this happens all the time here. There's even a sticky at the top of the forums reminding and explaining how to do regular backups.

Computers are not fail safe, software is not fail safe - this is common knowledge. If something is important to you - Back it up. Make a copy of your entire xxx.lg folder on a regular basis.
