Is there any way to convert just the Players.dat from FHM2 to FHM4?

I know the answer is probably no, but looking at the difference between the player attributes, there is very little difference between the two versions (Injury breakdown is the only one that's coming to mind). I realize you have much bigger fish to fry, but couldn't you make some kind of out of game utility to at least convert the players.dat file which can then be put in place of the current players.dat file in a save?

Very unlikely we'd be able to do it without a lot of difficulty. The player attributes haven't changed that much, but there are a lot of other elements that have been restructured, fixed, or removed, and we'd have to find ways to convert, replace or work around each of them to get a working converter.

Yeah, that's the answer I expected. Was hoping to find a way around having to spend the next two months hand entering (or editing) all of the players in my league. Thanks anyway.
