In terms of how I was internally handling many of the Negro Leaguers, I would bump up their attributes, using the in game calculator and statistics I acquired from Seamheads, and I would use the ratings the calculator spit out as their original potential ratings. Because I have development on, the game won't nerf their initial potential into the ground. However what happens after that point, is really up to the mercy of the engine. I'll try to work on getting some screenshots of some of the various Negro Leaguers.

The ID does work for Josh, but he comes into the game with no "real life" statistics tab. It's a little odd. I ended up using a small workaround that involved an old spritze database to get him into the game. If he, by some random occurrence appears again, I'll delete the copy.
That would be great, I'd really appreciate it.

The only reason I ask is because I'm in the middle of a massive NeL project and am interested in all of the various ways these guys are appearing when they come into various saves.

In my Bucs save (see my sig), I integrated the MLB in 1909 and have been adding heavily curated NeL players manually as per their debut year, while the Eclipse League is basically a quasi-NeL random debut save using MLB players as well but excluding all white players. Meanwhile I have been putting together and then honing NeL player profiles for use in OOTP, which I am to release for public consumption when I feel they are ready. I've still got a lot of testing to do to familiarise myself with some of the OOTP game situations I know little or nothing about, in particular the use of historical minors with the color ban off as it seems you are doing here.

So whatever you throw back here will be of great interest and help to this project.

Thanks
