A few notes...

If you want to fast-play games with this library, be sure to uncheck the "Halt on invalid lineup" checkbox during fast play. This will allow the computer manager to make adjustments when players are inactive due to trades, injuries, or demotions.

If you started a replay, and want to start over for some reason, you should download the latest library instead of restarting the season in your current library. This will ensure that you have the correct opening day rosters.
