How I did it

This is how I did it. Not sure if this is the best way though:


1. Create draftpool in NEW QUICKSTART OOTP.

2. Export that pool.
3. Wait until game creates draftpool in IMPORTED GAME (the one you play).

4. Export that pool.
5. You now have two exports. One with real names (from NEW) and one with fictional names (from the one you play - the imported game).

6. Open both txt-files in excel. Force excel to use [,] as form for columns.
7. Copy all data (except player ID:s) from NEW to IMPORTED.

8. The imported now has the correct ID:s but the new names.
9. Go through all fictional names that are left in the imported and edit them to be really bad so that they will never get drafted in your game.

10. Save the file as a text-file.
11. Open the text-file in the notepad. The file will now be very tabbed. That won't work.

12. Copy the first tabbed space that follows the first player id.

13. Use the EDIT-REPLACE tool and copy the tabbed empty space in the search column, and then put a [,] in the replace column. Execute.
14. The file now looks like the same that OOTP IMPORT, but with the real life names.

15. Import this file back into OOTP.
16. DONE


If you have been playing for a few years, you might have players in this draft pool that signed with a team in your game, but didn't in real life. You need to delete those, or play with duplicates. Your choice.




So this is how I did it. I'm sure some smart computer guy can do it in a better way, but this way seems to work for me.
