Does anybody know exactly how to make this work? If so, what are the steps? This used to be so easy to perform but I've lost touch with how to do it in the many new itinerations and updates of OOTP. I appreciate any knowledgable help.

i will answer for you
1 go into free agents, click on import historical player
2 when the window comes up click on master
3 have the id correct (this is important, you can look it up on baseball almanac if you are not sure) and the year
Likely the reason you are having a problem is the wrong import
as a test try
ruthba01
1921
you should get babe ruth in 1921
aside for those importing historical players into a fictional league
i find the players are rated too low, and they never (except for a few) become stars- my suggestion is to
bump up all the historical players ratings some (especially their fielding, by 20 or 30 points all around)
test it out to see what works for you. the idea of importing a chipper jones is you want him to do well
for example
