Roster file import issue

JonC · 03-21-2026, 03:17 PM

Happy to upload league files or roster files if needed here:

When importing our full rosters from OOTP26 to OOTP27 after merging new rates with previous data needed to be carried over, something like 200 players are not searchable in the OOTP game. They exist, they are located on the right team, and they are present in the roster file, but they are not searchable. If you export rosters, you can see those players have been flagged for deletion at importing.

Is there any chance that their player_id was used previously and that's why they are flagged for deletion? I was under the impression OOTP was now using bbrefminors_id for tracking.

TIA!

Are the game's import functions just broken overall? This, plus issues brought up in other threads.

Meanwhile, I can't import Facegens using the game's built-in Import PhotoFit function and I can't re-import any world database (even the default one) without the game crashing 98% of the time.
