OOTP Developments Forums - View Single Post - End-around way to convert a league from 26?

I have recently discovered that my OOTP 26 league has some level of modding (not sure what exactly) that makes it impossible to convert to 27. All players look like distorted Picasso paintings. There is an issue with using the ballparks folder from 26 that can cause this, but that is NOT the only thing that causes it. I have the default 27 ballpark folder and have tried a million different things, nothing fixes this. There is something fundamentally embedded in my 26 league that distorts the appearance of the players when converted to 27, making it unplayable (I don't want to play without 3D).

Which brings me to my question. Let's get creative. Is there any sort of end-around technique that can save my league's history and get my league converted to 27 with players that look like humans, with rosters intact, with everything intact? Is there some way to use the functions on the League Settings page to maybe do this piecemeal? I'm thinking probably not, but am hoping maybe the community has some ideas, as I am very attached to this league. I'd say my OOTP playing career is at stake here so I don't want to just give up without exploring every possibility. It can be arduous and miserable, I just want to know if it's possible at all.
