Game can not load after crash

Hi, first of all thanks for a great game!

I have run in to a problem, I was playing a game (watching it) and the game crashed. I then tried to enter the save again t´but it just crashes upon loading.

I have uploaded the game files to the FTP site and the name of the file is "Caps.lg.7z" please let me know if I did not do it correctly.

Would be great if the file could be restored somehow

Thank you!

It doesn't appear to be recoverable, unfortunately - looks like the crash corrupted most of the files in the main save and in one of the backups; most of the file sizes are down to 0 in both of them, so the data's all gone. The other backup save has most of its data is there, but it's still missing several critical pieces. I did manage to get the game to load by mixing files from that backup, the main save, and some from a new save, but it's a mess - the standings and schedule for 22-23 are all gone, I can't see any leagues besides the NHL, the NHL event schedule is empty, some players have the wrong names, and it's tends to crash after a few days.
