Player Ratings

[mdthomp24]

Ok, so what I basically want to do is enter the updated ZIPS projections in for hitters and pitchers. I've been doing it one player at a time and its very time consuming. Is there a faster way to do this?

Yeah, you can do this, but I'm not sure how much it'll really affect your player ratings. Unless you have your AI ratings set to heavily favor the current years' stats, this might not do much for you. When you export team rosters in OOTP, these are the only actual stats you'll see:

expected ab expected avg expected 2b expected 3b expected hr expected bb expected k expected hbp
You can enter the ZIPS projections there by using copy and paste. You'll have to have the ZIPS in an Excel file and your team rosters in an Excel file and then make sure the same players line up between the files. Then just copy the ZIPS data in those columns (you'll have to move columns in the ZIPS file to get those stats side by side) and then paste them into those stats columns in the team rosters. Save the team rosters as a .csv file and re-import them back into OOTP. Like I said, I don't know if doing this will change the player ratings at all. Maybe do a complete re-scout afterward?

Thanks for the help!

So would I basically have to delete the 2014 stats and put these Rest of season projections in its place? Or do I create a new 2015 stats column for every single guy?

Just paste over the existing stats with the ZIPS.

[mdthomp24]

should I delete all stats from players that aren't active in 2015?

No, don't worry about them. Their ratings won't mean anything if they're not active.
