Player's ages

millhousebc · 08-29-2018, 09:20 PM

Been a while since I have done this, but if memory serves me, when importing templates from past years (in this case, 1994) into a 2018 game, the players ages would stay the same, In 19, the players ages increase to the proper age in 2018, so players are 35-55 instead of in their 20's. I know I have done this before, just can't remember what I am missing.

thanks for any help in this.

i think during the import process there's a checkbox maybe that you missed? i could be wrong. otherwise, there's a way to fix it.

if entire teams are from a particular year, it may be worth your while to adjust them with excel or another spreadsheet program. use the export players function and you can import that as a worksheet.

e.g. the team is form 1950 and it's 2018 in league, add 68 do DoB column for that team. can use a formula in empty column and then use fill function. (1 formula and click/drag for #rows of players)... then copy/paste over DoB, delete any working column and save / re-import players file and it is fixed.

if it's an 'all-star' team with player form different years, that's more difficult. that may not be worth it.
