Hey Hiya,

So we do have a fix to get you the live start update for players without having to use the latest start date and force the regular season to be already over. So while this fix isn't easy it will get what you're looking to accomplish done while we see if there's an easier way for us to do this with our systems.

Alright so to make this work we will have 2 parts. The first step is to go and create the exact setup Matt described above. Make a custom game, choose MLB as the league, and use the live start option but don't let the standings update. You can let the game create the live start and then after it's created we will do part 2 to let us update the live ratings.

So the first thing we want to do is navigate to the main menu, go to settings, and on the settings tab go to troubleshooting and select Open Folder Containing OOTP Executable. That should take you to your OOTP 23 install folder and we want to go to data>live_start and inside of that folder we need to change the name of one of the zip folders. Preferrably the chadwick_data_2022_11_30 if you have that one. We need to change the date at the end of that folder name to match the day's date you're doing this. That will make the game use that folder when updating live ratings and it won't give you any errors.

Now you can do these steps backwards as well. Make the change to the zip and then create the live start and players will update correctly. If they don't you can then go into the league settings and manually update to live ratings through stats.

Let me know if that helps you get that setup and if there are any issues.

Thanks
Alex
