Importing rookies in OOTP5?

RoyalsBlue · 06-02-2006, 10:27 PM

I've been fiddling with a historical replay league, starting in 1969 (the year KC was granted the Royals), the standard AL/NL setup of 2 leagues, 2 divisions per league and the 3 minor league squads per team. Three times I've simmed through the season and when I went to the next season and was ready to import real rookies, I get the message no players found, will generate fictional players.

I've checked to make sure the path was typed in correctly, and it was the same path I used to start the league. I'm using the Lahman53 comma delimited db.

I'm running Windows XP home, Pentium 4, 2.8 GHz, 512 MB RAM, 20 GB free space. I do have the McAfee SecurityCenter system enabled.

Thanks!

5.3 will not work correctly w/ OOTP5. You need to use an older version, not sure which one since it has been years since I've played OOTP5.
