Glad to hear im not the only one that cares about 19th century leagues. Its not historically accurate when you have the wrong teams. I do understand it makes it easier for new people to start a league in 1871 but theres been progress made if they would just look into it.
I think ive showed in my 19th century league can work. Players were being imported correctly to their historical teams.

I know taking transactions are a pain for 19th century but you cant just import them into a database like the 19th century. You have to look at what is happening at that time. To get stats accurate as much as they can be for 19th century leagues you need accurate schedules and teams. It cant be accurate if players from Altoona Mountain City are playing a full season because they are on another team.

Its not impossible to do. If it was, i would not have got to July 1884 of my league. Sure there may be a few transactions i may have missed but the point is it can be done. Even the transactions i make manually could be done automatically. It doesnt have to be complicated trades. Just a simple signed or released. As long as the players get to the correct teams is the import thing.

But again this isnt something that is gonna keep me from playing ootp17.
I dont want it to sound like a bash against the game cause though i am disappointed in this aspect of it i am sure i will still enjoy ootp 17 and i still can use ootp 16.
