Game Shuts Down When PbP Replay Screen Switched

I was playing out a game, down by 3 in the 8th inning and my below average hitting shortstop hit a grand slam with 2 outs. I wanted to replay the event but decided it would be fun to see it in 3D mode (I was originally playing in 2D). When I switched the screen to play in 3D and then clicked on the "replay" button, the game shut down.

I really don't mind that the replay doesn't work if you switch modes, but it was a bummer that the game was in essence not counted.

As an experiment, I tried the same thing again - replaying a play after switching to 3D mode - and the same thing happened....game shut down.

Maybe replay button shouldn't be available if you switch modes.

So first off, you cannot replay an event in 3D if you initially watched it in broadcast mode. We only generate the animations if you're currently watching in 3D, so unfortunately we can't "go back" and let you watch.

That being said, we obviously should not crash. But looks like I found the bug, and we can at least make it not crash for the next patch.
