Imported Players disappear from FA list / draft pool after editing?

weeqat · 05-15-2020, 03:12 PM

I've had this happen repeatedly, no idea why some players disappear and some don't.

1) Created 1915 historical league, set up for inaugural fantasy draft.
2) Imported 40 historical players to a team, cloned them to create "clean" free agent versions; deleted the 40 imported players from the team.
3) renamed each one of the clones to represent a Negro League player active that season.

(at this point, all 40 still appeared in the FA list and also in the fantasy draft pool, so everything looked good).

4) I then began editing each player, changing birth date/place and certain ratings as needed. I also zeroed out all service history. I did not change any of the player historical id's.

Of the first 10 players I edited, 6 of them DISAPPEARED from both the FA list and the Draft Pool (the other 4 are showing correctly). I can still search for them and find/open/edit them, and I was able to assign them to a team, but nothing I did subsequently has made them return to either of the player lists. I tried releasing them; rescheduling the draft; cloning the players a second time.

A) what am I doing wrong? Why are only some of the players disappearing?

B) Is there any way to force the missing ones back into the fantasy draft pool, like can I export/re-import the completed players to restore them?

An example of what I am trying to do: I imported Stan Musial 1941 (musiast01,1941,CLE) and renamed him to Oscar Charleston. After I went in and modified some of his ratings, and made him into a CF, his record was corrupted somehow and he no longer displays in the lists as described above.

did you make him African and do you have color line off

I thought of that, too, but some African players did not disappear and some that I called Hispanic did disappear.

how about using Oscar Charleston from the minor league database to create your personal Oscar Charleston rather than editing a white feller. you could edit hisownself to become whomever you want him to be

1) A number of older players that I wanted to include aren't in the minor league db;
2) I wanted to 'pair' each player with a similar mlb player, rather than relying on the minor league talent translations that are baked into the db.

2 - the db only contains stats - choices the user makes for his game turns those into ratings. every user can choose their own set of "talent translations".
