Adding historical players?

[Orioles1966]

I still don't know how too do this with OOTP13. Just started a league and would like to add players from the 1960s. I have no problem adding players to the OOTP11 game ,but still stuck on an answer for OOTP13. If you say make a file,that still doesn't help.

1. You have to have commissioner powers (Manager Options)
2. Go to either Free Agents or Show All Players.
3. Click Import Historical Player(s)
4. You are asked to navigate to and click on the Master.csv file in your stats folder; in a Windows setup, it typically is located in \Documents\Out of the Park Developments\OOTP Baseball 13\stats
5. From this point on, when you do 2. and 3., you get the screen shown below.
6. Use either option for importing historical players. Read more about this in the Out of the Park Baseball Manual
7. Note what the manual says about player IDs and where you can find them.
8. Remember that the text file option is new and not in the instructions. It really is simple to use, though, rather than typing each player's ID in to the data entry box, one by one.

You can also use the historical database.odb, depends on which you prefer and if you are using a custom DB or not.
Here's a partial of what my draft list looks like. I use a custom DB and have to search to find what Paige & Gibsons rookie years are.

At first, the game is looking at the folder where it is installed: the Programs Files folder (first screen print). You have to hit the Up button a few times to where you can navigate to your User profile (second screen print). Then you start navigating down to your Documents and the OOTP folder in which the game saves your league. Navigate all the way down to the stats folder (third screen print - note the directory path at the top of the window). Once you click on master.csv and then Confirm, you are good to go from that point on. You only need to do this once.
