distinguishing between real and fictional players in a historical custom game

daigle91 · 11-17-2023, 05:36 PM

Is there anyway to distinguish between real players and fictional players in a historical custom game? (I have imported several real historical players in my game, so they are obviously meshed together with the game's generated fictional players... numbers growing with each passing season)

Would like to be able to sort/filter them accordingly within the various sections of the game (roster, league stats etc.)

On the career stats page of the player profile, there's an Eliteprospects logo. Click that and, if it's a real player, it'll open your browser to his Eliteprospects page. If it isn't, clicking it does nothing (in a small number of cases, the link will be broken because I've assigned a fictional ID number to players who don't have an EP page, mainly pre-1917 players.)

No way to filter for them now, but I'll see if we can add one.

I'm doing same thing on my Custom Game. I just add all imported players to shortlist so I can follow them.
