Off the wall question

RANGER11JP · 10-29-2014, 03:21 PM

I am not sure if something like this has been asked or if I am just out of the loop.

Can a database be created of/from fictional players? So, if you have fictional players who you would like to use again, you can save them and replay them as we do with our real life historical players.

Just a thought.

Thanks.

Exported Data can be massaged into a Lahman type file or you can make a quickstart/template that includes your fictional players or you can back up your league and play again from there.

Again, your wisdom just amazes me, sir.
I find the idea of exporting and massaging into a Lahman type file interesting. Where or how would I even begin to pursue such an endeavor.
Thank you.

Export everything you can from OOTP into csv files, open them in excel and map what you have to match the Lahman format in the master.csv for a start.
