32 team rom editing

Ugh, I've spent for what feels like forever trying to edit the team names in the 32 team rom. I read up on changing pointers but didn't really grasp how to move everything and make it fit in. So, I reworked all of the divisions so the new team and mascot names would be equal or shorter than the names that they would be replacing. After trying a couple of different hex editors that often froze/crashed, I finally finished. When I start up the game everything is fine up until the end of the first week when the rom crashes. Assuming it is crashing from those certain teams, I set up every team configuration and found the teams that were causing a problem and went back to the hex editor and changed the names up. But, that still hasn't helped. I've changed those names numerous times and all different lengths but it still crashes the rom. Interestingly, each time I change the name the rom crashes at a different point in time i.e. as soon as you hit start, after coin toss, after running first play, etc. Is there some formatting set I am missing? Or perhaps it really is just horrendously trying different entries until one works? There has to be a better way, anybody know of something or do I need to just do more research on hex editing? 

 

TL;DR - Is there a better way to edit team names?
