I am killing time until 15 is released and here is what I tried to do.

I took the sf giants in 2012 with their actual roster. My intention was then to import actual historical rookies. I would then delete all rookies that played before 1946. However what happens is that I get fictional rookies and can't figure out how to get guys like Mantle, mays etc into the league as rookies.

I am wondering if in order to get those 1946+ rookies I have to start with a league consisting of random era players on my roster. Is the fact that I am starting with an actual SF 2012 roster not allowing me to generate random era rookies.

If there is a way to do what I want- let me know how.

If you create a list of 1946 rookies, or i mean a text file, then it won't be a problem. Are you selecting the historical database.odb?
1946 Major League Baseball New Debuts - Baseball-Reference.com
you can also out these guys directly into the draft pool if you want to.
a sample of what a text file looks like is attached.
You can do an advanced search for importing historical rookies and my screen name for screen shots. i have several posts on the subject. I don't have the game open right now.
