OOTP Developments Forums - View Single Post - Importing historical figures in a custom league

Hey everyone,

I have been playing around with OOTP 5 and I have hit a road-block on one of the aspects. Basically what I want to do is start a custom league and use historical players to fill out the rosters.

Here are the steps that I have taken:

- Create a custom league (making sure that the players are set to NONE)
- Make any other adjustments I need in the "League Creation Options" screen

I then go to the "Free Agents" screen, click on "Import player from database" and add the historical players that I want to add.

Now, I know how to import one player at a time from Lahman's database, but how would I be able to import more than one player at a time? That's where I am having the problem. I would like to import teams as a whole, for instance: import the 2006 St. Louis Cardinals, 2004 Boston Red Sox, the 1927 New York Yankees, the 1946 St. Louis Cardinals, the 1948 Cleveland Indians, etc... That way, I have players ranging from the early 1900s to present day.

Does anyone know of a way to import teams as a whole or am I stuck with importing one player at a time. If not, is there a way anyone can create an add-on to do the needful? Thank you very for anyone who can answer this question. Take care.
