help with custom league

origamirazor · 12-17-2001, 03:50 AM

I created a new custom league (16 teams) and decided to use the players from Rolen17's roster set.

Here's my problem - My league's starting year is 1900, but all the players weren't born until the sixties. So, they all have negative ages. I.E. Sammy Sosa is -69 years old.

Is there a way to globaly edit ages, or do I have to do them each by hand? I tried pierre's editor but didn't find any sort of option.

Any help would be greatly appriciated.

Thanks

I don't know of any other way off the top of my head.

Why did you want to start in 1900?

I don't know if Pierre's .csv reporter will dump the files in a Lahman-esque fashion... if it did you could create a dummy league and use the .csv reporter to create all the reports, then using a spreadsheet program and the find and replace option you can change all the birth years from 19's to 18's and voila problem solved (although each player will be one year younger)...

Of course if the .csv reporter can't do this then that whole explanation is worthless
