There was a desynch in multiplayer that was caused by
the user being able to assign the same person to two different
positions. (Thanks EA FOOBALL Net players for this one,
you helped us find it!)
EA FOOTBALL NET ISSUES FIXED
Added a roster version checker, the client now check for
matching rosters.
Added names in bold - so you can now see who is trying
to copycat usernames and report them.
Added a new flag for system admins so it is easier to
identify them.
Fixed the bug where the wrong person gets a loss/win reported
on disconnections.
Disabled the keys that people are using to bail out of
a game (Alt-f4, Crtl-Alt-Del, and Alt-Tab) while in the
EAFOOTBALL Net game only.
Attempted to simplify who is flagged the loser when someone
quits a game
