When to Import a League?

redranger · 03-12-2024, 01:36 PM

What is the general consensus on the best timing to import a league from one version to the next? With all the changes in the ratings area in OOTP25, I am particularly interested on what everyone else thinks is best

I’ve always tried to time it once I feel the new version is pretty stable to import on the last day of the season the day before Off Season actually starts

On the day after the season ends before it starts generating everything for the next season.

Yes, the best time is right after the playoffs have ended, before moving into the off-season.

We will have a larger document out later today or tomorrow to go through a bit more of the details with the import process.

For safety reasons, the publishers will say to do it in the offseason. I used to do it every December 31st, in-game but it really doesn't matter and just do it right away now.

Just be aware that we are expecting to see a lot of movement and contact ratings changes but those are unrelated to importing.

I am in the middle of a season (not a sim). And imported today. I have done this every year and never had a problem.But I also keep my copy of 24 if an issue arises and I can reload a good copy of my save

Here is said larger document explaining why the recommendation is to import before the start of the Off-Season.
