Problem with imports - some players empty

Derek Hiemforth · 09-27-2002, 05:01 AM

When doing imports of some players from the Lahman database 4.5, OOTP4 will import them (seemingly), but the imported guy has no stats, terrible ratings, etc. I assume it must be something weird in the database, because it seems totally random. I've imported dozens of players successfully, but some I've been unable to import include Cal Ripken 1984 or 1991, Chris Hoiles 1993 or 1994, and Bernie Williams 1997. I know I'm entering the right player ID, because it claims to find the player, and enters their position and age correctly, etc. It just isn't getting their stats. Any ideas?

I would try using one of the alternate databases you can find here or by searching the message boards.
