That makes me believe that the developers moved player histories into a file like players.dat which cannot be edited. Given that, I'd say your 17 to 18 conversion process did not go well and I would ask the commish to try again. That's probably the only chance that you have to retrieve your player histories.
Thanks for the reply Bru, I am the commish, and I didn't notice this phenomena until after the conversion and subsequent 98 expansion draft, so it appears that there may be no solution possible
