As a random debut player and a historical player, I really don't need a ton of flash. I love additions like the Hall of Fame plaques. Hall of Fame voting. The achievement icons. I love the new stadium models. I play on the broadcast screen. I love the little asterisks announcing a new pitcher has entered the game. If right now we had those things and historical was the exact same game it was when it was called OOTP16, I would be perfectly happy. Having Correa, Seager etc would be enough for me. Sure, I would be complaining at times about the spinning cursor, the earthquake shakes and the RHP,LHP in front of the batters, but I could get over or at least used to that stuff. I can't get over .375 being the new .280 or 250 hits being common.

i really think a few changes to your modifiers and/or totals could make it look like what you saw in the past.
a side note -- i don't hink the export schemas have changes between 16 and now? if so cna still do this with a little elbow grease.
export players from 2 leagues -- one from your '16 installation and one from your '18 installation. make sure they are ~equal. the key will be to retain existing PlayerID column and paste over the rest from your '18 exported file.
you need the same or greater # of players in the destination '16 league. player id must exist! you will re-use them.
don't paste over teamID etc... if 'personality' columns are new, jsut make them and give "100" out of 200 for all, type once, copy/paste to fill -- that's exactly what it was before personalities effects were added to cause variation between players.
oh i said that backward. remove entire columns as opposed to adding info is more likely. match order of column labels to destination league. cutting info out is easier than adding.
once it is ~congruent to the right exported schema, you can now import this modified players file.
this sounds like it takes more time than it does... and can be a template for future re-uses... you can feasibly have your 'new' players with your old ootp.
