Question about importing a league from OOTP15

redranger · 03-20-2015, 08:38 AM

I have a fictional league I have setup in OOTP15. I want to import it (structure of all the fictional teams and fictional players) but would like to start completely over with the league in OOTP16.

I would want to zero out all the history and begin new. I was thinking of doing one of two ways....zero out and start with my team and players (ones I originally drafted) or possibly just completely re-running the draft from beginning.

Are these two options doable?

Once your league has been imported, you can go to league setup, "League Settings" Tab and Erase entire league history", then schedule Fantasy Draft.

This will erase the history and release all players into a draft pool for an inaugural draft. You can edit the draft order from the draft page if so desired.

This will not set your league date back though, that is not possible.

This can only be done during preseason.

Excellent. Thanks. Another quick question is will it erase all player history awards injuries etc in their player profile cards or is that another erase tgat needs to be triggered?

I have one OOTP15 game that I want to import and the schedule evaluator doesn't work. Will it work after I import it to OOTP16?

Everything will be erased, except service time.

There is an option to erase service time if you wish.

I would also recommend resetting injuries, DL time, etc so everyone is healthy for your draft. Of course you may not want to do that, your choice

Some advice,

It will not change your supplemental draft order. That will stick through on the new version. Kind of annoying since this means that some teams will gain an advantage. In my fictional worlds, I just imagine there was a reason for this happening.

There is an option that says ' reset player injuries and reset player morale'. These are fine to click. However, do not click 'reset player service time'. This will cause a huge problem with all of your player's being considered rookies.

Also, you can save your league as a quickstart and then go to the main menu of the game and create a new game with your saved quickstart. That way you can start with whatever date you want.

Make a copy of the league, convert it and try.

Not sure why the evaluator isn't working though.

The bug with supplemental draft order carrying over when erasing history has been fixed.

Good deal. Thanks for the quick replies. Much appreciated Bluenoser

Thanks for the advice on service time Cody

Gonna give the import a shot

Welcome - also I wouldn't reset service time. If you do, every player starts with 0 service time, so you'll have a boatload of players all being eligible for FA at the same time and you won't have hardly any FA's for the first few years (depending on your setting)

The evaluator does not generate a report when you select it from the dropdown on the edit schedule page?

This is 15 or 16?
