Ugh, 19th Century Hates Me!

Four times now, I've simmed through 2-3 seasons and had no issues...once starting in 1876, once in 1880 and once in 1882. Once I feel the settings are right I start again but this time taking control of a team, etc, the game freezes before I finish a season. UGH!

Why is this so difficult? Because of the whole contraction thing?

With 19th century leagues its a really good idea to make a backup prior to each season.
You cant play 19th century like you can modern leagues. You really got to pay closer attention to it. Are you getting any messages? I am guessing it could be a not enough players on a team roster do to injuries. Especially expansion teams could be short handed.
Check your injury settings. If your able to sim a few seasons i think its more with the actual 19th century data than the game or your computer.
Btw Welcome to the wonderful and frustrating at times world of 19th century play.

Yes, that's what I thought cause sometimes it was happening in the middle of the season. This last time was happening right before the "Off-season". I checked all teams, etc. I'm sure it has to do with contraction or expansion or something. So, frustrating cause I love 19th ball!

Make sure your injury setting is low till you have enough players. Has it just crashed or has it given you the not enough players on a team message?
