Using the FPS Backup utility will allow you to recover an out of sync game.  

The program automatically 
saves the game after every play and puts the game save file into the custom directory numbering each 
one(game0001.sav, game0002.sav., etc).  To use the program just start it by double clicking on the program 
then minimize it and it will do the rest.  Both coaches must use the program.  If a game should get out of 
sync, go back 2 sav files.  For example, if the highest game save file you have is game0034.sav, then delete 
game0034 and game0033.sav files.  Move game0032.sav file back into the FBPro98 directory and rename 
it to game.sav, then resume the game.  Both coaches need to do that.  You will have to play the last two 
plays over again but atleast you won't have to restart the whole game from scratch.
