I'm playing a custom historical universe from the 2002 season and I'm running into a bug with player names.

When I'm calling plays and when I check the game stats after a game (pictured) is finished, all non-QB players are listed as "Unknown". Anyone else run into this issue?

Definitely worth reporting directly to them.

If you see Unknown, the universe player file is the issue. I have found that this occurs when the Year of Entry, Base Year and or contract years are not correct for the starting base roster.

If you have guys in the draft pool, many of these sections are ignored, but the base roster, the starting roster has to be flushed out with all the 'years' if you know what I mean.

Your universe is unstable and could crash when you see Unknown for players.

So I figured out the issue if anyone else runs into this problem. When I edited the historical file and exported it to a csv, I didn't sort by playerid. I went back and ordered the table by playerid and now everything works great!

I was just coming here to add that suggestion. The IDs need to be in order.
