Hi everybody!

public beta,
version 24.7.72. Please give it a try if you'd like to help
Use this at your own risk! Please back up important league files before loading them in this beta. This patch is compatible with the previous patch for online leagues - exports will work between versions, however both clients and the commish need to update to benefit from the online league fixes.

Updated historical fielding ratings for players playing multiple positions
Fixed F1 help files
Fixed some issues when coaching contract extensions are disabled
Fixed teams waiving players coming off rehab assignments
Adjusted AI contract offers for some players
Adjusted playoff series MVP to come from losing team less
