Using New Names Database in old imported Lg

landru22 · 03-25-2016, 07:13 AM

I had read somewhere on this board that the player/coaches names database has changed in OOTP17. I was wondering, does the new names database automatically apply to an imported game (originally created in OOTP11 and imported every year since) or do I have to do something to make it so?

It doesn't automatically apply. Once you've imported your league, go to league setup, "Database" Tab, then from the "Database Tools" dropdown menu (top right), select "Re-import name and ethnicity database".

Your league will now use the new name db going forward.
