The new random DB is based on our new 2006 DB & it is a totally different shuffling. Since it is not the same, you can't substitute it for the previous one, otherwise you may have repeat players (debuted already and then may pop up again).

I took the time to write some efficient code this time, so other randomizations are not as time consuming. I am planning to post a new 'compressed history random DB' tonight. This will randomly assign all players across just 20 years. Many have liked this DB even better because you can play out 20 years and the talent pool is richer for each draft. I was planning on creating several versions of this, so that one can play multiple 20 year sims with a different mix of players occuring each time. Playing through 100 years of history is a long time.
