After that we can either use MVPEdit or the game itself to adjust lineups and ratings.

Wow, that sounds great. Is there anyway to get the ages correct?

OK, MrCubbie. Here's an initial test file to make sure this process works before I put too much time into it.

I followed your instructions from earlier. The only changes I made to this file was to add career stats up through 2008 (using Lahman 5.6) for the Brewers and Diamondbacks players. I'm not how these will show up on the Xbox, but I expect that the most recent stats (2008) will be what shows up when the players come to bat/pitch. I'm not sure how this will affect player ages. In MVPEdit you can change the birthdates, but not directly change the age. In MVPEdit they show the correct age.

If you can convert these to XBox and them post them back here, we can try it out. If it works, I will continue to add in the 2008 stats. BTW, does anyone know if this has to be done player-by-player in MVPEdit? It's not a hard process, but adding these in by single playes will take a while.

So do you want me to convert them to xbox real quick?

Alright here you go. Test away.

This is the AR save and I think thats what you wanted.

Ill see if they have the 2008 stats hold up. Um I DL the file and played a game with Brewers and Diamondbacks and the stats for when they walked up weren't from 08. I was using the teams websites to check their 08 stats. The stats still showed 07 year.

Ok nevermind. I don't know let me look at it for awhile.

I got the same result, but I think it's the files I gave you, not the conversion you did.

I can open the files and see the career stats in there for 2008 ion the career tab, but there is another tab called Batting/Fielding that still has the 2007 stats in there. I'm not sure how to update these other than manually typing them all in, which doesn't seem right given the Lahman button they gave us to import the stats.

It may have to do with the "Adjust to current year" checkbox that is part of selecting a player to import stats from the Lahman database for. If I check that I get a runtime error and the program shuts down. It says it can't find a table or query called pitcher. I thik I may need to get that working in order for the 2008 stats to populate properly.

Can anyone else try this with MVPEdit to see if they are getting the same error? I used the 5.6 Lahman database and renamed it. I also just tested the 5.3 datatbase and still get the same error, so the problem is not the 5.6 database vs 5.3.

If i had a modded XBOX i would but i dont but i can just help you out with the rosters. Once you get the process correct.
