Not suggesting you try that again
, but just in case, it may be worth nothing that up until v24 there was an issue that affected the timing of when players players imported. Long story (and I'll point you towards the discussion in beta; you may have already been aware of it), but I was trying to do some 1930 minor leagues with accurate (by hand) rosters for the PCL & Int'l Lg. It lead me down a path to where not only were a few guys missing who played in those leagues in 1930, but a
lot of guys were missing from American Association teams. IOW, teams that were in leagues that were not yet in OOTP (the AA didn't have it's first affiliated-with-an-MLB-franchise team until 1932, so that's when the AA first appears in OOTP); a lot of those guys (who were on AA teams in 1930) were not importing into OOTP until their
MLB debut year.
Anyways, that bug has been fixed. And so I would image that in order to have access to guys who played in 1884 UA, you'd need to have minor leagues enabled (minors won't be in OOTP, but enabling them would give you access to those players). And so I'm guessing that if you were try that project now, you'd have more - maybe close to
all - of those guys available to you.
