Pretty much the same thing just happened to me, except my system crashed when the game told me my contract expired and to go to the manager screen or whatever. When I restarted the game, all of the stats from the 2003 season were moved to 2004 in the player cards (although the player histories were correct). This was in spite of the fact that the date in the game was correct; Jan. 2004. I also noticed that ALL of the player's contracts were extended by one year. Not that it mattered; there was no option to begin free agency or any offseason procedure. All I could do was sim days, even though no schedule was created. Also, there was a news story that one of my pitchers won the player of the week award on 1/27 for another team, even though he was still on my roster. I think everything else was normal, including the fact that the players aged correctly.

A possible problem was that I had recently set my machine (PIII500, Win98, 512 RAM, 20 GB free HD) to standby after being idle for a half hour. However, the machine wasn't idle for any time. I'm pretty sure it was a crash; I gave the CPU about 5-7 min. for processing and nothing happened. Also, the "end task" box said it wasn't responding.
