the .csv will seldom get updated. and you don't edit them. i make a copy of the .csv file (call it (briliantly) .cvs - COPY1) and sort the "z" column (that's the debut year for the players) always from the COPIED file- and i only use the copy file to look at things, so i don't mess up the original.
copy the player ID names (i think it's B column) - but not at my game to check.
then paste those player IDs into notepad (or notepad ++ is better and it's free). Then add the year you want them in (i use debut year). a comma - a space - the year after the player ID.
(see examples on the previous link.) - like this: ruthba01, 1924
i then save it in a file i made in my documents folder - in the same folder as my game - i call it (stats -players to import). in that i create a folder for each year i am importing players from. so you'd save this notepad ++ file into that folder and direct the import to that folder, and it will only get players from the file you specify.

it's a bit confusing at the start. try to simply import one player (the manual explains it). And then try a few text files in a test league or something. Once you do it a few times, it's like riding a bike - sort of awkward at first but it's pretty simple once you get the hang of it. Really. if i figured it out, anyone can.

if you have any problems, send me a PM and i'll try to help. it may take a day or so for me to get back to you though. Gots lots of "issues" that arise from time to time. But i'm certain you can figure it out.
