"real-world" players and coaches

[zekeroberts]

toying around with the idea of updating player and coach files for the upcoming season... however after an hour or so of poking around in the game and its folders, i don't think i quite know how to do this

i'm really good in Excel so i'm hoping that the files can be created/edited from there? not so great with database editing...

i guess for starters i'm wondering if you have to start a league first, then edit it from within, or if the files can be created first, separate from a league, and then imported... does that question even make sense?

if someone can point me in the right direction, i'll start to see what i can do in copying rosters over into excel, etc.

sorry if this thread let a bunch of people on... i see a bunch of view but no replies lol

i've tried exporting a player file from a current league... it looks pretty good with all player names, team, age, position, and all ratings (including potential letter grades)

when i go in-game to player file editor and click "import csv" i get Run Time Error 6 'overflow'

i was just hoping that there would be some way to put something together outside of the in-game editor...

I wouldn't see why you couldn't... I would just make sure that you have the delimitaters set up properly... No idea what FBCB10 needs though... If you have exported and have a file and it won't update you could contact support.. I've never tried before.

Yes, if you are having trouble with a player file you are trying to import please send it to heavyreign@hotmail.com and I'll take a look to see what is causing the error. Also note that version 2.2.26 included fixes for the coach file editor.
