From the manual:
When are Name Files Used?
The name files come into play only once: at the creation of a game. At that time, all the names in the name files are converted into a .dat file that is stored in the saved game directory. The names.dat file is then used by the game to dole out names during two scenarios in the game: when new players are created, and when new coaches are created.
New players are created at the start of a game, and during any subsequent first-year player drafts. In leagues that do not have first-year player drafts, some free agents are created annually. New coaches are created at the start of the game, and occasionally thereafter to replace those who have retired.
Note: This means that you cannot change the names files used by your saved game after the initial game creation .Once a game is created, it will always use the same names.

DesertFox07, or anyone else... Could you please clarify if/how names files such as Questdog's can be used & updated, especially once the game has been created?
Thanks in advance.
