Hi Shaun, If one is losing a game of football so just does alt f4 to exit the game that is cheating. So the game is set up so that you must forfeit the game by pressing the escape key. Being able to manipulate the dat files would also be cheating. Once you have completed a season the dat

Hi Trouble, It's not really a bug. The game is designed so that if you try to cheat by exiting a game without forfeiting it, it doesn't work. And I believe that many many many people are playing my out dated code as you called it just perfectly fine on computers running everything from 98 to
