Suggestion

Create and use delta-files for online league updates.

Reason

Between sims, a player, for example, will not change things like First Name, Surname, Birth Date, Age, Nation, City of Birth, and his career stats will not alter for anything except the period the sim covered, so why should all this stuff be packed up sim after sim when it's invariant?

The game could keep track of the number of delta's needed to make sure all GMs can get up to the current sim without missing any data.

And then a full file would only need to be created for a new GM
