If you've got other suggestions, post them here with the situation and we can incorporated them into the game. They have to be relatively atomic (a single action). It can't be concatenated actions. Thanks, Steve

But there should be a fast forward action so I can watch the final 5 or so minutes if it’s a close game. Or maybe fast forward to halftime or any other time you so choose. Thanks Steve! Love the game.
