HELP!!!! I have done 3 seperate associations starting at 1954, real players, expanded in 1961. I get to the 1962 draft and get a "run time error 94, invalid use of null" error and can go no further. Every other years draft has been fine. I have put in way to many hours to have this stop me. Please someone see if they get the same results or how to fix this. My feeling is there is something wrong with the 1962 player pool but what do i know.

By the way, i did it in both 1.63 and 1.64, made no difference.

Hmm.

I just tried doiing 1962 from scratch and that imported fine, so it must be some other aspect. Are you using the option to bring players into the association before their real debut year?

In the meantime I'll go test starting in 1954 and expanding in 61 etc, but that will take a while.

No, not using option to bring before real debut year.

No problems with 1962 draft here either.

I would love to send someone one of these now 4 associations that stop at the 1962 draft and see what you get.  I tried the upload association option in the game but it would not do anything there.

Not much I could help with in that regards, I'm just doing a single replay of the 1962 season. Maybe the best bet would be to send the file (whichever one that is) to Shaun. He could come up with an answer a lot faster then I could,lol

Hope he can help you!

Please zip one up and send it to me. Preferably, I'd like one before the issue comes up (like at the end of '61 if you have it)

use www.sendthisfile.com and send it to shaun@puresim.com

Thanks!

File sent.  Thanks for your help and hope you can solve the mistery.

Got it!

Thanks so much for sending that. The issue was related to the fact that you expanded the assn *and* you were playing in affinity mode. The expansion process was not assigning an affinity tag to the new teams and causing the issue.

This led me to add a whole new feature to the next patch. The patch should be available today and I'll also hand edit your association to fix the issue so you can move forward with the 1.65 patch and beyond.

Thanks for taking the time to send that.
