Ability to Import Historical Players For Draft

EMSoccerCoach · 07-23-2009, 10:07 PM

This is being brought up again, so I thought I'd move it down here as a formal suggestion.

There are many OOTP players who enjoy doing cross era simulations, blending players of one era to the next. In order for such a setup to have staying power, a tremendous help would be the ability to import historical players as draftees each season. It broadens the pool of players, making it possible to start with, say, 12 teams of 40 guys but not limit your league going forward to those 480 guys and a bunch of fictional players.

This request has been made multiple times, and from what I've read the feature actually USED to be in the game.

Please make it possible to import historical players for the draft pool. There's a significant number of your customers who would find such a feature useful.

Thanks.

I've sent Markus a message on this as well, hoping he pays attention to it. Just want to know if we can anticipate it in the next patch or if it's not going to happen. Seems like it should be a very quick option to add.

Markus sent me a note this morning that he will include this feature in the next patch!
