Maybe someone can help me out here. Hopefully at least.

So the problem with historical leagues is that the draft pools are painfully thin. I tried to remedy this problem this past offseason by introducing a high school feeder league to help bolster the draft class with the idea being that the high schoolers that were ready to enter the draft would mingle with the pros that automatically enter the draft in historical league settings.

This worked perfectly in the game. I had a draft pool of about 1000 players, 230 of which were real life historical players (1991 debut draft if you're curious) and 700 or so 18 year old fictional players.

I exported the draft class to excel in a .csv file, just like I've done the past few years, double checked that there was 1000 players in the file, there was, and went to import it into the utility like normal.

And the only players that imported were the 700 or so high schoolers and any major leaguers that did not sign after being drafted the previous year (1990) debut draft).

This was not an issue with the feeder age, as I could change the age in the panel and the only thing that would change would be the amount of high schoolers I got, nothing I did would get the pros from 1991 to import over.

Even after deleting and re-installing and upgrading the players just simply do not want to import over and I'm at a loss of what to do.

Any help would be greatly appreciated

Edit: I should clarify this is the first draft with the feeder players mixed in. The other previous drafts have been straight historicals ~250 players per class and those have gone off without a hitch
