Player ID Recycling

How does recycled player ID's work in an historical league? I exported the rookies for 1983 and noticed on players with ID's lower than 1000 that they contain old historical information???

i.e. http://narbl.ootp-leagues.com/rblweb/p823.html

He is drafted in this years ammy draft.

I think this was fixed with the latest patch. If it was, the player text pages for retired players are deleted when the league advances to the next season. You could still get what happened above if you saved the old text file and somehow put it back in the Players folder before the season began.

Or, it could be that this was something that had been fixed that was "reversed" with the latest patch.

I haven't had any problems with this in our league though.

We are experiencing this in POTD with the new patch. The league is in it's 7th season, 2nd by human control and a lot of the draft picks have recycled ID's that show old player histories.
