When Does Game Add Historical Players?

Chicagofan76 · 08-18-2011, 10:18 PM

I just played out the full 1999 season and I am now at the beginning of Preseason of 2000 and I still don't have new White Sox players that debuted in 2000. I cant figure out what I don't have setup properly. I backed up my game right after World series, because I had this same problem with a similar league after I had switched databases.

Should be 1 month before the date you have your draft set at

yeah, but I don't draft players to any team they are supposed to go to their orig team. I don't see an option to set the draft for any date under my current setup.

Should be first day of preseaon. Which is a pain if you have free agency because teams sign free agents not knowing that an awesome rookie will take that position. If you switched DBs after the game was created that could be the problem. The new DB might have slightly different historical IDs. The only other thing I could think of is if the team ID is wrong or missing. Not sure if Franchise ID matters but if it is missing I would put it in.

I didnt switch DB's for this league. (I had for a mirror or this league and i dont have any historical rookies 2005-2008)
All team ID's are unchanged from when i set this up.

Sorry that is all I have. You probably need to submit a ticket and FTP league files. I wish I could help more but that is all I can think of.

Well maybe one more thing. Are you using a modded DB without that one file that combines the CVS files? If so you might want to try to open your master and other DB files in excel and see if they got corrupted. I am not sure what programs you can use to open the .obd file. It has been a while some file name may be off. You could try and see if it is has been corrupted. Alternatively you could reinstall DB files if you are using a custom DB or the game if you are using the out of the box version. I guess that was not all I had after all.

I know this is all pretty basic but that is about the extent of my knowledge unless I remember something else.

I am using a Gambo DB...For the orig league I was using I was using the Spritz/Gambo DB then switched to the Gambo DB the same 1 i use for my historical 1901 league. i guess i will redownload a different DB and start from the end of the world series after i run a test league.

Biggio509 · 08-19-2011, 03:49 PM

You can but I would try downloading the DB and reinstalling if you want to use it. Something could have gotten corrupted. It may be possible something was wrong in the version of the download. You might want to check with Gambo and see if you have the latest version.

I did 2 tests with my current DB test 1 import historical players with teh draft set to November 15th worked fine. Sox drated 2nd I grabbed Beuhrle. 2nd test was have players go to their orig teams didnt work no new players showed up by OD 2000.

Edit: I posted this prior to running my test, I think I figured out what I have wrong...I have the wrong DB then the 1 i thought i did. When I got to the 1999 draft for players 1st yr of 2000, I had players like Bobby Jenks(2005) Dionar Navarro Rocco baldelli etc. Novarro is 15. So i have the db for players either the yr they were drafted or whichever that 1 is. i had though the DB i was using was the actual debut. which means i should of had Buerhle in 2000.
Sorry for wasting anyones time and thanx for the responses.

Now new question This DB posted below bothers me. I want Asians, I want real debut but since I also have an historical league where i draft players who i want i am not sure if this is the DB i want. Can someone please confirm that.
For my 1999 league i want players to go to their actual team.
For my 1871-2011 currently in 1901 league i want to draft players.
I also have a random DB that I have yet to install but I have a feeling i have to switch out DB's for each game.

Biggio509 · 08-20-2011, 02:22 AM

I think that should work but I am not 100% sure about the Asian players in that one. Now that I think of it some of the DBs have all players going to the free agent pool if you don't have a draft. I think some of Spritz's DBs do that but I am not sure which ones. The DB you show in the picture should be what you are looking for but I am not sure it has the Asian additions.
