Can no longer import historical players using .csv files

[JudgeGio]

Recently, in OOTP25 when I go to the Free Agents page and click Actions->Import historical player(s), I only have the .odb files in the \data\stats folder to choose from. I used to be able to choose from .odb and .csv files in the \data\stats folder. I always imported minor league players from MiLBMaster.csv; now I no longer have that option. My only choice now is to use historical_minor_database.odb as the database file. But when I choose that and select my comma-delimited file that contains multiple minor league player entries, some of my entries don't import. I know the entries that didn't import are in MiLBMaster.csv, but it seems they are not in historical_minor_database.odb . There is nothing natively on my Windows 11 computer that can open .odb files.

Always choose "historical_database.odb" and if you want a minor leaguer just use the BBR Historical Minors ID and toggle on the check mark on the importer pop-up window to also pull from the minor league csv that is inside that odb.

Yes, I did that. For example, Kumar Rocker did not import using historical_database.odb, when I know he would have imported had I used MiLBMaster.csv. I don't know why .csv was removed as a database option for importing minor leaguers.

He does import using the historical_database.odb. You can't use rockeku01 as the ID because he is a 2024 debut and the db ends in 2023.

You need to 1) use historical_database.odb 2) use code rocker000kum 3) ensure the checkbox that reads "Include player(s) in the minor league database" is selected.

If you were to crack open the historical_database.odb, you'd find all the csv's you are referencing, that's why you always use it.
