Clone Players?

Modern Relic · 12-26-2007, 07:54 PM

Is it possible to clone players, rather than doing it manually? For example, say I wanted a roster of 25 Mario Mendozas

. Can it be done with a few clicks, or would I have to generate 25 random players and change their stats/ratings manually?

Manually, as there is no "clone player" function, even though having one is a great idea.

In theory, though, you could import the historical Mario Mendoza 25 times.

Hmmm....that might work (although I'm not actually interested in Mendoza). I've been playing around with a solo league idea involving identical rosters (fictional). Perhaps I could create a "Lahman" styled DB with the player(s) I'd like to clone, then import him multiple times.

Thanks, Wolf.

You could always just add a new player to the existing Lahman database, or, even easier, modify an existing one to be just what you want. Use Ross Gload.

And you're welcome.

For a "close enough" version, you could export the rosters, edit the guys to make them the same, and import again. The only catch there is that not everything imports/exports.
