Crash when there is a gap between games in live sim

This is not new to this version, I think maybe it has existed as long as live sim has, or at least the last several versions.

It is not a huge deal, probably somewhat low priority since it is easy to work around as long as you know it's coming.

In a live sim:

1. Game ends (say an afternoon game). There are no other active games currently but there are more scheduled later.

2. Either hit "continue sim" to progress to the next game, or speed time up to get to the next game time.

3. When the next game time arrives, the game crashes.

The key is to save the game before the next game time arrives. If you do this and reload the game after the crash, THEN hit "continue sim" or speed time up, the game will then proceed smoothly to the next game.

Recently began having a similar issue.

On the latest patch btw.

Happens when there is any period of no games. This latest case happened when siming between end of season and beginning of the playoffs. Just crashed on me. Thankfully, the game seems to have saved because my playoff roster changes were still there.

The first time this happened it was during the all star break iirc.

I know this original post is a few weeks old, but figured I'd reply and bump since I too have a similar issue.
