Reason
The addition of 'Watch Game Replay' is amazing. I update my league file for an online league, then watch my games without knowing what happened.
However........there are some problems with it.
#1 - I must avert my eyes from the upper right of the screen, or position the game with a portion outside of the screen so I do not see my newly updated record -- because if I'm going to watch all of the games then I don't want to know my record.
#2 - In the playoffs there is a major issue with the replays. Most online leagues sim portions of the playoffs at a time. For instance, Game 1 & Game 2 of the World Series are simmed together, while the next day the series will continue with games 3,4,5. The game will default to the new game date when I update my game, falling upon the next playoff game.
Now I must avert my eyes again when I go to the league schedule because if I look at the pitching match up for the next game I will see the score of the playoff series 2-0 or 1-1 and then watching the games is now not as exciting. Further, if I am able to even just see that a game is scheduled for that day then I might already know what has happened if a series was 3-0, etc.
Solution: Maybe the solution is one box that needs to be checked which would appear on the first screen a GM sees : 'Replay Mode'.
Once checked it does what the 'Hide Scores' box did, but also blanks out the current day's schedule, stats, etc, and blanks out the standings in the upper-right. The only thing that can be seen is 'Watch Replay' on each game.
This setting should be part of a GM's settings, so that if he updates his file and imports with the 'Replay Mode' box checked, then the next time he updates the file it will open with everything hidden.

Just want to add my support for this. While the current system does a good job of hiding the scores, it makes it too easy to accidentally see the won/loss results. Like pbar, I also try averting my eyes, but if you happen to accidentally see your team's updated overall/series record then there goes the suspense that the "Hide Scores" option was designed to build.
While we're on the topic, I'd love to see an option to prevent the updated display of my team's won/loss record while simming multiple days at a time. Currently a progress window pops up during multi-day sims that updates your record each day. I'd like the option to remove the record display from that window.
