In the regular season, goalies need rest days or their performance will suffer. Your coach will automatically play your backup goalie when that gives you a better chance to win.

Added support for changing the rate of steals, blocks, turnovers, and offensive rebounds. In historical leagues, they automatically change over time. This was done in part because I recently (2021-02-20) changed the default steal rate to be 10% lower than it was before, which some people did not like.

The "worried he'll be traded away" mood component is based on how many players you've traded away recently. Now that factors in how good the player is too. Basically, below average players will not count much there, but above average players still will. This is based on their current ovr, not their pot, so a contending team can trade away prospects without much penalty.

In custom league files, there is a new simpler format for writing "gameAttributes". Don't worry, the old format will continue to work, you don't need to change anything! But now you can write it as an object rather than an array, which is generally a lot simpler. See the manual for more info.

A few little improvements to FBGM game simulation. Teams will not punt when they're on the verge of losing, and teams will pass more when they're down late. Also fixed a bug where a turnover during a two point conversion resulted in the wrong team kicking off.

Added a new league setting "Number of Periods Per Game" to let you change from the default of 4 quarters to whatever you want. In FBGM, if the number of periods is odd, there is no halftime. In BBGM, I also fixed the logic for which team gets possession at the start of a period (it was actually implemented like football previously which doesn't make any sense, I have no idea what I was thinking when I did that).

When creating a new Real Players league, there is now a "Real draft prospect ratings" option which allows you to change how draft prospect ratings are defined. The default remains unchanged (ratings are based on rookie season stats), but there is now another option to base ratings purely on draft position. That will result in simulated drafts being much more similar to real drafts.

Previously, AI teams who were under the salary cap and had no roster spots open would never sign free agents, as if they'd rather miss out on a good free agent than cut a guy at the end of the bench. Now they are willing do that, which can help the AI a lot with roster building.
