Import Historical Player

Bobfather · 11-27-2020, 08:37 PM

I am in the middle of season 7 of my save. There are a few favorite players I would like to import into my league, Robbie Alomar for one. Can this be done, and how would I go about it? Thanks.

Yes, you can import historical players in OOTP. This video from OOTP Developments will walk you through how to do it.

Thank you. They put up a great video.

Fictional league, four historical teams. One of the team's rosters is missing a key platoon OF and I want to import him. If I search for him in the search control, he does not show up (no one outside the existing rosters of the four teams shows).

When I follow the sequence in the video, I get to define the location of the historical_players.ODB file. In the video, the program serves up a "Historical Player Import Options" window, but that doesn't display when I import the odb...nothing does. Then when I look in my free agent universe, that are only four players, none with a name:

I know I'm doing at least one thing incorrectly. Does it have something to do with it being a Fictional League? Or are there multiple instances of the ODB and I'm pointing at the wrong one? Or or or?

Thanks, in advance; knowledgeable advice appreciated.

I think it was Garlon who posted in detail about the best settings to use for this, but can't find the original post. I have been using his settings for ages and they work really well.

They are as follows:

REAL STATS
POTENTIAL: PEAK SEASONS
FIELDING: CAREER
PITCHER STAMINA: CAREER
IMPORT REAL-LIFE L/R SPLITS: ON
ADJ HITTERS: 120
WEAKEN HITTERS: 100
ADJUST PITCHERS: 25
WEAKEN PITCHERS: 18
