Missing screens I think

I am very confused. Been trying to play the trial for 3 days now and basically getting nowhere. My dashboard, staff and stats tabs look ok I think. But I have no players listed on the roster screen, no players on the contracts screen and nothing but the explanation sentences on the depth screen. I assume there should be players listed there too? I think I might have seen the listing flash up once when I changed to the G league team and back, but I cannot get it to repeat no matter what I try.
I thought maybe I needed to play a couple games to get them populated but it didn't make any difference. One additional thing is that I have no points in scout draft to put anywhere even though the email says I need to do it. Just a couple dashed lines.
This looks like a game I might enjoy, but after 8-10 hours of struggling with it, I just don't know what I am doing wrong.
Any suggestions?
Should have added in there, running on Windows 10 with a 1080ti, game installed on an ssd.
