I just completed the importing routine for OOTP 6.12/6.5x leagues. I am glad I got it done, it was very difficult because of the huge differences in the database layout.
A lot of things can not be directly imported, it was just impossible or way too time consuming to code this. So, what does not import?
- Any history of any kind (team history, league history, player history, record books etc.)
- Any coaches (fictional coaches/scout get generated and added instead)
- Lineups, depth charts and pitching roles
- Career minor league stats
- Team logos or player pictures (the game does no longer support .BMP files)
- Manager mode (your manager)
- Any passwords
Also, you can only import leagues that are on Opening Day. You can import a league when you create a new game. No minor leagues are added by default, so you can chose what kind of minors you want in your league, if at all. If you do add minors, they will be filled up with fictional players automatically.
OK, now I need a beer
