So, when you get that fictional league going and want to sprinkle in a Ty Cobb or two, the way to do it is to 1) Don't be in Challenge Mode (so don't set the game up with it on), 2) Go to your Manager Home Screen and turn on Commissioner Mode, if not already on at game set-up 3) Go to the list of Free Agents and look to the colored banner where the actual list of players starts and on the far right is a drop down called Actions. 4) Click the Actions button and select Import historical player(s), and a new pop up appears 5) Select historical.database.odb and hit confirm 6) Open baseball-reference.com and look up Ty Cobb and notice the end of the website page - the part before the .shtml reads "cobbty01" [ed. - no actual quotes on any of these entries obviously]. 7) Type (or paste) that into the first field in that pop up. 8) Enter the year of Ty Cobb wanted. Let's assume you want a rookie and fill in "1905". 9) If you want him to be a free agent when he enters the game, hit "Import Player" and he will be a free agent. BUT if want him sprinkled in the amateur draft pool, toggle on the checkbox for "Import player(s) into draft pool" and then hit "Import Player" and he'll be there when the draft comes along.
On stuff like that, that ought to be easy but seems hard or confusing, just post on the forum and someone will at least try to help.
