Fictional Players in Historical Simulation Error?

TDO · 10-14-2017, 02:39 PM

Hello all.

I have a historial league I created back on OOTP 12. Started in 1871 and have slowly moved my way along both in years and through the various OOTPs playing out my team's game along the way.

It's always been a historical draft based on in game year (1889). I recently went from OOTP17 to 18 and I did not notice until after the amateur draft that the players are that were just drafted are all fictional (it wasn't a mix, 100% fake). I'm not sure what to do at this point as I dont want fake players in this league. I did a quick search and it seems like this came up one other time but no resolution was found (http://cdnsite.ootpdevelopments.com/...d.php?t=191151). I have two questions.

How can I fix this from happening again?
I checked and the option is still enabled to import historical rookies. I did notice the disable creation of of free agents and fictional draft classes was not checked. I'm guessing I need to check this? Is this what caused the issue even though I have had enable import historial rookies?

Any recommendations for how to fix the just finished draft? Unfortunately I don't have a recent back up. I was thinking of just deleting all the drafted players but how can I get the real historial rookies in the game (either as FAs or otherwise).

Thanks for the advice.

As a small update I checked disable creation option and simmed to the next draft. It had historical rookies but it still had fictional players mixed in too. Halfway there.

Make sure your database path points to the database you are using.
Settings - Historical- copy and past the html line from ootp stats folder (or spritze) into there using ctrl-v to paste.
here's what mine would look like
C:\Users\Todd\Documents\Out of the Park Developments\OOTP Baseball 18\stats
You might be able to schedule teh draft again ( make a backup) otherwise it looks like Sprtize has draft classes available
