But the things within a game save, it's a lot trickier to deal with their overwrites, and super frustrating because the devs should know we typically don't want "updating/creating team logos" for a team that has them, and they even give us a box to check to say not to change the team logos (which then lead to the uniforms, etc. being changed)...and there's no excuse for not making that checkmark absolute, that if it's checked then no matter what it doesn't change the logo, uniform, cap, etc..
That checkmark should be absolute. If it's checked, just don't touch the logo, uniforms, etc.. It isn't like data for the whole program, it's data about a team in a specific game save, that never needs to be "updated" if we don't want it updated.

it's been an issue before.. look into changing how those files are named. can avoid the automation if your files are the first to be picked, regardless.
if it has to be the same name of a data file that exists already, then it had to be fixed after any update.
remember, all that stuff is in the archives of teh backup data folder. never worry about deleting stuff. remove the files that keep replacing your intended logos, colors, hats, whatever.
google "batch file commands delete copy move"
if you ever used DOS, it'll be familiar. It's really simple stuff, i promise. 1 good how-to page will have all the basic commands and formatting for this sort of context. 5mins of pain will save time in long-run. i have to look up the nuances with long gaps between uses... like when/where to use quotes. similar to the fact you already know the steps you have to perform. this will merely do it through a CLI. del these files, copy this directory etc... ==> double-click and done.
can't control what they fix, but can make it less painful in meantime.
