Selecting MLS prevents u from choosing starting dates later than 2019
If u choose to start later than that year, it's likely that the game won't start
Yes, you are right, the loading screen freezed for hours if you choose 2029 as the starting year. So, it's impossible to start directly from 2029, but I don't know what is the limit starting year that you can choose
Maybe starting from 2029 has passed its limit, I think. It's 10 years from the default starting year, so it must take hours for the game to load.
What year did you choose to start from?
