So i checked the import historical player into draft when i started my league. I'm about to start season #2 and am wondering will it import historical players automaticaly as they come into the league or do i have to manually add them each year to the draft? Keep in mind i started my league from the ootp database not an imported roster and this is a fictional league. Thank you for any help.

They will import automatically. But you need to make sure you have selected the correct path to the database you are using for the historical players. I would copy the league first just in case. Also if you have the draft in June the players will debut earlier than they did in real life. Like Ty Cobb would start in 1904 instead of 1905. So most people have the draft in Dec so in Cobb's case he would be drafted in 1904 but he would start his career in 1905 like he did irl.

so the historical database already comes with the game right? And how do i make sure the path is correct? Thank you.

I believe all you need to do is look under Game Setup -> Rules tab ->and about halfway down the right side there is the "Historical Rookies Option" section. Check the box to automatically import them, and make sure the line for database path is the same as wherever you have your DB stored on your computer.
