If you're still on 11.2.15, you will see no stats. There was a new token in 11.2.16 that doesn't exist in 11.2.15.

If you wanted to get this to work with 11.2.15, you would need to go into all_star.xml and default.xml and remove all the SEASON9_ stats. I've attached an example below. They're pretty easy to find, since they'll always be in the same area of each stat line "code".

Use these xmls to replace the ones in the templates directory. This should let it work with 11.2.15.

Is there a way to get the rookie and allstar rookie graphic to display with fictional league player cards that are in a different year than 1961?

There's a couple of ways to get rookie stuff to appear on the cards. For historical players, you can use a rookie graphic that includes the name of the player, and then include the graphic once for each player.

For fictional players, you can include a graphic titled something like "rookie_.png", and then in your xml file, include previous year's games played in the image element. So your image element would point to "rookie_[%SEASON1_G][%SEASON2_G][%SEASON3_G][%SEASON4_G].png", for example. Any player with games played in any of the past 4 seasons would not get the rookie graphic (I've tested this). You can go all the way out to SEASON9 if you want, just to make sure you're not getting the rookie graphic for players who've been stuck in the minors for several seasons. You definitely want more than 1 season to avoid players who are out for a whole season with injury. The obvious drawback to this method is that it's not able to determine if the player is still considered a rookie in their 2nd or 3rd year appearing in the majors.

The first method is really the only way to differentiate between a regular rookie indication and an all-star rookie indication in the same xml file (default.xml). Obviously, in the all-star xml file, you can create a special indication that it's an all-star rookie using the second method.
