I use the csv roster import to handle things like expansion. I also do it after the free agent period on many years to get rid of the multiple team listing on player careers for that year (since they didn't really play for multiple teams.

The first time I did it with the 6.10 patch, I saw one of the biggest bugs I've seen with OOTP.

When I imported the players, it put them all in the designated for assignment sections of their teams. There is a problem with this right off, though this wasn't the real bug, in that even minor leaguers went there and many would have to then clear waivers to go back into the minors. But that wasn't the real problem.

The real problem was that when I ran the computer manager on all teams, all the players in the league disappeared. There were no players on any teams or in the free agent pool. That's a pretty big bug. I figure it must be related to the way the DFA area is programmed.

Anyway, thankfully I still have the 6.03 patch around. Whenever I want to import rosters, I just switch back and use that.
