Progress!

Today I read the thread about the reasons for problems with importing the Rolen-Cubby roster sets. It's the fact that two A-ball players (I believe they're called Lewis McQuistan and Tim Gormley) have '"' entered as their nickname. If you edit that out (in-game), things will import correctly.

So, here's what I did: Created a new universe with the Major American League and a fictional league, released all players from the MAL and then imported. Works great! All players on their correct teams and so on - I don't think releasing all players was necessary in fact.

Of course, the only thing with this is that you'll have to manually set up the MLB and Minor League team names, logos, colours etc for each game you begin, but I guess this can be worked around by doing it once and creating a template. I think that's how templates work...

This is great.
