Any "in game" reason for sluggish play?

Im in year 16 and have noticed the last couple seasons the game seems a bit sluggish. Have also had an issue with trying to insert substitutions or warmup pitchers. When "sliding" the players name to the desired spot, its not inserting, its missing. I have inserted a pinch hitter in the 8th spot (not 9th) numerous times. ( if I dont pay attention).

As OOTPB is the only game on my Laptop, I have no other reference. My internet, Office Programs seem fine.

Should I be deleting certain files after awhile? Could this be causing issues? I dont want to mess the game up now by deleting unnecessarily.

Thanks.

hmm..While it may be a total coincidence but I changed the Skin from 20 Dark to 20 Classic and the game is now playing like it used to...zero issue inserting players in lineup. Before I was dragging players around with difficulty, now its smooth again..Weird.

After playing for several hours one day not long ago I noticed the game started to get sluggish, including trying to drag players etc. I simply closed the program and opened it again and the problems went away. Big saves gobble up system resources and when you've been playing for a while those resources get used up. Closing the program clears things up.
