<strong>Just to update things, I've tried to import Hank Aaron and he's been imported as an OF, a SS, a P, and a 1B on different occasions. And I've gotten it to where it puts SOMETHING in his career stats, but it's only 1954 according to his player card. I really feel like I'm close to figuring this out, but I don't know what the missing elements are.
I have the following:
1.) STB2K3 1.1 (latest patch for STB2K3
2.) Lahman Database 4.5 (Mar. 26, 2002 release)
3.) Database installed in C:\STATS directory
4.) I downloaded the custom database file from <a href="http://www.boys-of-summer.com" target="_blank">www.boys-of-summer.com</a> and made a secondary directory (C:\STATS2) with the database copied and the new files overwriting that.
5.) Using Rolen's rosters (and my own edits to this roster in 2002)
6.) Have yet to start a game. I did NOT begin my career under the historical mode box where I had to insert the database information, and select a historical year. I simply started with Rolen's rosters in 2002.
7.) Once in my career's FA list, I click on "Import Player From Database." It usually prompts me (after restarting the game) to find the path to the database. I type in C:\STATS2.
8.) I then type in the player's code (ex. aaronha01)
9.) I then type in the year. But I'm not sure what I'm SUPPOSED to type here to get his complete CAREER statistics. (2002? His final year? His rookie year? What?)
10.) It then processes it, and brings up the player on my FA list. In that case of Aaron, it has brought him in as all 4 of the positions mentioned above. It either gives NO career stats, or one line of career stats (in 1954, for MLN according to the game), but not an entire stat list full.
No ideas whatsoever here?</strong></font><hr /></blockquote><font size="2" face="Verdana, Arial">Ok, I just followed your steps using OOTP4 and he imported as a CF but for some reason it called hima DH. So I just clicked on the position box and he is a CF. But, I typed in his final year as a player and all of the career stats imported except for the year played(which is how the game is designed. The game is assuming you are going to "play" the year you import him for.
I am now going to try the same using STB2003.
