Any issues importing MLB '16 franchise into MLB '17?

[ustbaseball21]

I haven't been able to find a thread on this. Last year, when I imported my 2015 franchise into the 2016 game, the stats were way off. For some reason, each hitter's walk totals were not included in the import, making their OBP and OPS completely off. I believe the pitching side had something missing too (perhaps walks), so the historical WHIPS were way off.

I'd like to buy the new game, but if the stats are way off like last year, it's essentially worthless IMO.

Has anyone had any issues with the importing of their teams at all? I'd love your feedback!

I heard they work fine this year but haven't done it myself.

I haven't had any problems with stats or anything like that. Obviously if your import is originally from 15, those career number are still going to be wrong. But anything played on 16 should be good.

Can't import a season if the current in game year is 2015 or earlier/

I was able to import a season that was in 2015. But I had to advance it past Spring Training. Then it imported fine.

Import worked fine. I was 3 days into the 2017 season on my '16 franchise.

I got that error too. My game was at day one of spring. So I advanced it to opening day and after that it worked.

Hum... I don't know then. That is weird. Mine was a classic roster from 15. But I don't think that should really make a difference.

Sorry man.

Awesome news! No, I had to restart my franchise in mlb 16 version because the import from the 15 game was all jacked up, so I started fresh. But I really love my franchise for '16 so ideally it'll just carry over into the '17 version.

It shouldn't matter that I'm in 2019 though, right? I can't imagine that would make a difference.

Any other issues you guys are seeing in this year's franchise? I assume they haven't added the ability for actual Class A teams yet, right? Still can't get over that, since that capability was possible way back in MVP Baseball...God I loved that game!
