HELP - Importing Historical Players From Lehman's
I am trying to import Historical Players from Lehman's into an existing league. The league says it is in the pre-season mode. However, I continue getting the message "Historical Player Imports Failed." I have tried using the Lehman's MASTER.CSV, TEAMS.CSV AND TEAMSFRANCHINE.CSV files for the importing but they all failed to load any players into a new team in my league. Does anybody know exactly how to make this work? If so, what are the steps? This used to be so easy to perform but I've lost touch with how to do it in the many new itinerations and updates of OOTP. I appreciate any knowledgable help.

1 go into free agents, click on import historical player 2 when the window comes up click on master 3 have the id correct (this is important, you can look it up on baseball almanac if you are not sure) and the year Likely the reason you are having a problem is the wrong import as a test try ruthba01 1921 you should get babe ruth in 1921 aside for those importing historical players into a fictional league i find the players are rated too low, and they never (except for a few) become stars- my suggestion is to bump up all the historical players ratings some (especially their fielding, by 20 or 30 points all around) test it out to see what works for you. the idea of importing a chipper jones is you want him to do well for example Last edited by sprague; 07-04-2012 at 02:59 AM. |

Chipper Jones aka Devil Anse Hatfield is fine for me. Imported 1995. But yes most imported players are 2 -3 stars. Edit: Use the shmtl from baseball-reference.com for the import. So Chipper Jones would be jonesch06. Last edited by The Game; 07-04-2012 at 10:13 AM. Reason: edit |

Question: Lehman's Database
Is it no longer possible to import teams and player's directly from Sean Lehman's database? If possible, what are the steps for doing so? Which file do I use to extract the teams/players from? If not, what other sources do I check? Which folders/files do I extract the teams/players from? Spanky
Ps. I will try the suggestions given so far but there are not the ones I used in the past to extract data from Sean Lehman's baseball database. Thank you everybody for the help. Spanky |

the database taht comes with the game is the lehman database it should be the database in that is in your stats folder in ootp folder (in your documents area) unless for some reason you took that one out and replaced a different database in its place. stats master player name or team that should work fine |

Importing Player Data Is Now Successful!
Thank you everybody for the advice. It was spot on and worked extremely well using Historical_Database_ODB. Located in the OOTP 13/Stats folder. I did not have to use player ID numbers as I noticed they were imported as well. I'm in the process of updating Spanky's All Time Greats from 2005 to 2011. When complete it will include every great player from 1900 to present day. Maybe someday I will have the opportunity to post the DB for all to use again providing I can find somebody or someplace to host the file. So far, the DB includes thousands of players.
Again, thank you all for your timely and expert advice! Spanky |
