Importing historical players

Kehi7 · 09-02-2023, 11:20 AM

I am starting a new game where I want to import historical players, like Babe Ruth, George Brett, Ozzie Smith, etc.. into the draft every year. How do I do this. When I create the game it says the database path isn't found?

Here is a thread where it is discussed (also see the manual, accessible from the link at the bottom of the start screen on OOTP).

Here is how to do it en masse (but you still need to make the file):

There is a toggle on the import to put them in the draft class as opposed to being a free agent (default).

It's the "historical_database.odb" you want. You do it after the game is created. From the Free Agent list screen, far upper right drop down.
