I started another test league. At first, everybody (players and personnel) had the same last name as the commissioner from the previous league. I released all players to free agency, then deleted them all, then filled the rosters. This time each player had one of three last names: previous commissioner, current commissioner, and Unknown. Again I released, deleted, and filled... and everybody was Smith. So I deleted this particular game and started another.
This time everybody had the last name of the new commissioner, so I released and deleted. I then re-imported the names and ethnicities, which I'd forgotten to do with the league above. Now all the players had names from the names.txt file (though personnel all still had the new commissioner's name).
I ran a few seasons, and after about the third one, some players with the commissioner's name started to creep in. After another season, this increased, along with some Unknowns. These both increased over the next few seasons, slowly taking over (especially in the leader boards), like the pod people in Invasion of the Body Snatchers, even though I re-imported almost every season.
Does this sound any easier to diagnose?
