Hi,

I am new to the game and wondering how (if it is possible) to import rookies from multiple seasons into a single league at game creation? Basically I want to start in 1871 but play with modern rules and have as few fictional players as possible. One way I have done this in other games is to import players from each year in sequence with "Allow Duplicate Players" off. This brought in unique players from multiple years to the same organization allowing me to populate the league with enough players to seed my rosters until MLB history caught up with my more modern roster/schedule rules.

Can this be done in OOTP? Without editing the DB? If I start with players from 1871 but my schedule/game year is something else how are subsequent rookies imported? How is that affected by importing multiple seasons worth of rookies (assuming this is possible)? Sorry for the long post and lots of questions. Loving the game so far just wanting to do a little more customizing and not sure how.

Thanks - Jeremy
