Player Improvements
 

When a player attribute changes or the skill level rises or whatever, will I be automatically notified? Seems an ungodly amount of time if I have to open every individual player window every day.

no. if and when they inprove its slowly.

just look at them after camp

There are utilities to help keep track of this stuff (PlayerTracker). If you really want to be thorough, I once got into a convention of saving files with this filename setup:

LEAGUEYEARa.txt = beginning of new season
LEAGUEYEARb.txt = after beginning of free agency
LEAGUEYEARc.txt = right before training camp
LEAGUEYEARd.txt = right after training camp
LEAGUEYEARe.txt = end of season

I confess that even in the leagues where I still make an effort to track this stuff (way less than it once was) I just do stages C and D above, and that gives me all I really feel like I need.

Good to know. I only have the demo so far, which I don't think has the utilities.

For info on out-of-game utilities:

Welcome to FOF, and to FOFC

Per FOF2K7 Reference Thread

There are a few roster CSV files there. Were those created with one of the utilities, and if not, is there a way I can get hold of the program that created them?

edit: sorry about the bold

Do you mean changetracker? I have never heard of a 'Player Tracker' before. Just wanted to make sure there isn't something I am missing.

I run two changetrackers every year: the before/after Training Camp, and the before start of Early FA / after start of early FA. I think both are important.

They don't tell you everything, sometimes you just notice things about a player as he develops over the course of a season. You don't always notice these things either, but it isn't critical information or anything, just interesting.
