Need help ridding league of "Nobody"

Monkey Deathcar · 07-03-2006, 01:29 PM

Is there a quick way to get rid of all of the people named "nobody"? I have patched the game, and am running a 16 team fictional league (1 league, 3 divisions with fictional players) starting in 1901. Every draft I end up with a bunch of players named Nobody:

1901 - 32
1902 - 27
1903 - 19
1904 - 31
1905 - 24

Right now I do a search before the draft and manually delete them but this impairs me as far as wanting to sim multiple years. This only applies to the draft; the initial group of players that are generated do not use this name.

I know that this was a problem pre-patch and I have not had an issue with other fictional leagues (to the best of my knowledge). I also am not complaining, just looking to stop this before my entire league is named Nobody. Any ideas would be appreciated.

I'm sorry for the awfully slow response to this thread.

Unfortunately, there doesn't appear to be any way to resolve this issue for your league. Because the program stores your name data when the game is first created, it's going to continue generating nobodys, even though a newly-created game would not have this issue.

I think perhaps the only way to continue this league is to use the roster export/import process to rename the players. Pretty cumbersome.

Sorry I didn't have better information for you.

Thanks,

Steve
