add players to league

Is there a way to import players from the Korean leagues even if I didn't select the Korean league to be part of my setup. Or do I have to create Byung Ho Park and other manually?

Okay this will take some time but it will be worth it. Create a dummy league from the MLB quickstart that comes with the game. It has all teams from leagues around the world with Opening Day rosters. When that league is created, go to Game Settings, then League Settings and select the Korean League from the dropdown menu at the right. Then export the rosters below that. You can name the file whatever you want. Once it's exported, that will create a text file in the import_export folder of that league in your OOTP Developments folder in Documents. Open up Excel and open up that text file with Excel. When the text import wizard window opens, check "Delimited" on the first screen and click Next. Check Tab and Comma on the second screen and click Next. On the last screen, just click Finish and the file will finally open.

Now open up the league you want to import those players into and go to Transactions then Free Agents. Create the same number of fictional free agents as Korean players you want to play in your league. Then export that league's rosters and open it like you did with the Korean League.

Now, you will copy information from the Korean league to your fictional league. Just copy over the players you want to be on each team, making sure you only copy from Column E to Column EQ. DO NOT copy over the fictional team IDs and player IDs with the dummy league's team IDs and player IDs because your fictional league will not recognize them otherwise.

Once all that is done, save the fictional league file as a .csv file and save it in the import_export folder of your fictional league. Once that is done, go back to Game, Game Settings, League Settings, and click Import Rosters. Navigate to the fictional league's import_export folder and select the .csv file. It should import all those players like you want.
