Importing players into active franchise

[tapout8302]

I’m sorry to complain but this is a feature that needs to be in the game, one way or another. It’s such a pain for me to get my roster set to start a franchise.

I usually end up waiting until after the draft so I can import as many draft picks as I can from the vault. We should be able to import during a franchise, like we can in roster control or simply import players into a draft class.

There’s also always international players that pop up during the season or prospects that break out and aren’t on original OSFM rosters but are added later. I should be to import those guys in over the ridiculous fake draft players like Andre Yamasaki and Jose O’Neil. Ok end of rant

Re: Importing players into active franchise

This was talked about being put in a few years ago but never happened. So I have given up on it.

The thing is with CPU control on you can actually do this all they would need to do was make it so it worked without CPU control on

Anyway it;s time to spend about a week with exporting and importing again to get the rosters right./

I know your pain. I usually leave about 50 guys with service time set aside in free agency. so that if I am halfway through a season and a NON rookie comes in I can use one of those guys.

Sure he may not have correct service time but I rather that then 0 service time and an annoying R next to his name.
In the past I have taken a video then had to create him in my franchise which takes a good 30 mins per player. it looks like create a player has value numbers this year which would cut down the time by half a I think.

How do you import players into an active franchise? I didn't think that was possible.

That's because it isn't possible. I think he misspoke. He's referring to the ability to export players out and save them to your HDD if you have CPU roster control on. Still no way to import players into a franchise file (which is why this thread exists!).

yeah sorry that is what I meant to say. what is confusing is in the CPU roster control screen in a franchise it says Manage/Import (like it does in rosters menu) even though you can't import in franchise.

I am assuming that this also works in mlb 18 unless changes were made. otherwise it's going to be a lot of work for OSFM if it isn't

Got it. Thanks for clarifying. It really sucks that they haven't included that feature in this game yet. How are you supposed to have on-going carry over franchises if you can't import rookie players.

Yeah I know and and all the players that turn generic like Tim Lincecom and Preston Tucker for example. You just have to take videos or rosters and then do it manually, it takes a good 30 mins to do that for each player though so a hell of a lot of work, but at least it is a work around.

This face is just an example but sometimes in a carry over as I mentioned before in the other thread, the player turns generic but still has a glitch face and you cant edit them.

Here is another example coming from 16 to 17 a carry over Justin Maxwell had the glitch face as well.

I actually have not ever had this problem, but that might be because I export players into a roster not within franchise.

Rather then wait 2 more weeks for SCEA I will be exporting guys like Lincecom Tucker Chris martin across.

Re: Importing players into active franchise

Here hopefully this helps out some of you who are not sure about what players turn generic, or the ones who will UN-editable because of the glitch face. Now keep in mind this is a carry over from MLB 16 to 17 and from my roster set from last year.

awesome!

in the missing players thread I listed a few players I seen out of the 50 50 players that are in the game.

didn't get to see them all the person was banned before I got to see them all.

Most of these players won't even be on a team this year, so I am trying to get all the 25 man roster service time guys done first.

Re: Importing players into active franchise

My biggest issue with not being able to import players into an active franchise is that I play a carryover franchise using fictional rosters. So each year, I get a bunch of rookie generic auto-created players that get dumped into my franchise. I want to be able to replace those with user created players (maybe edit their ratings to match a young rookie). I hate that you have to re-create all of the rookies that auto-generate.
I don't understand why its so hard to include this feature. Especially if they are players with 0 service.

If that's you main concern just rename all those rookies from the draft etc to whoever you want, most people have issue with carry over because they cant have a certain veteran who starts playing again because of service time etc and in most cases that veteran can be edit from another player but he would have the big green R when he is actually a veteran. So yes I agree we need the option to import into an on going franchise.

For me I never liked the carry over as far as having it accurate because players who are not in the MLBPA will turn generic and yes we can edit some back into who they originally were, but in some cases they have a African face and white arms, or white face glitch but with dark skin that you can not edit at all as far as there appearance etc go.
