Deleting Historical Stats?

Juggernt · 09-22-2018, 03:03 PM

I imported a few historical players, renamed them appropriately, and changed their ages, and put them into my fictional league. It didn't occur to me that their stats would show up until I saw one of them in career leader boards.

Any idea how to delete their historical stats? It's weird to see them show up from 75 years before the league ever started.

you could clone them. that deletes their histories, as i recall. not at my game at the moment, so can't test it to be certain.

It will indeed delete their histories. Unfortunately, I've already played a season with them (they came up in September), so they have some within-the-game stats that I'd rather not lose. Guess my choice is to bite the bullet now and lose those few games or just let their other numbers hang there.

Might have something with the import/export. I think I can export, copy the stat lines of the players, clone the players, delete the originals, sign the clones, edit the stat lines, then re-import. Giving it a whirl.

That worked. Of course, I had to go through the hassle of signing them again
