don't try to import 'created' player list into game. you must create players in game or have them created by the game (draft/feeder/discovery etc etc).

random debut might be something to look into too, in addition to boomcoach's suggestion.. depends on your intent/preferences etc.

the only drawback to dumping all players and a draft or re-assigning is you have 30T worth of MLB players... your league will be unusually stacked for ~10 years or more and then drastic and dramatic shifts in talent will occur as it reaches a more normal equillibrium for that size of a league.

you can 'autocalculate' the modifiers during this transition period, so it's not game breaking in anyway.. it'll jsut meander a bit before a normal yearly volatility is reached.

where everythign ebbs and flows around is 100% controlled by the league total modifiers under league settings->stats and AI tab. you can always rein it in, but talent distribution cannot be affected without deleting or changing players. if the league is filled with 5-10 "80" rated players on every team, the stats will be extremely flat. probably a lot more near-.500 teams in middle too.

PS -- i thoguht about it a second... since it's only 12 teams, you can make a league, then import historical teams... just delete the seed players before, so you don't mix them up. empty the league, then go import historical teams to each team.

i think the ratings are slightly different when imported this way?? could be wrong, but another thing to check before you decide the path you go.
