Historical Rookies Options
The Historical Rookies Options section affects the treatment of rookies in historical leagues. If you are not using a historical league, there is no need to touch these settings.



There is just one option in this section:

OptionDescription
Automatically Import Historical Rookies If this box is checked, each year the actual rookies from the historical database will be imported into your league automatically.

Note: If you want historical rookies to be assigned to the same teams they played for in real life, you must disable the first-year player draft, described here. The rookies will be imported on the first day of the preseason. If you do not do this, all historical rookies will be dumped into the first-year player draft pool.
Database Path During game creation, this area displays the text 'Please set after game has been created!' When you access this page through the Game Setup option later, the database path will be set to whichever directory stores your historical database. If you have moved your historical database, or if you didn't use a historical database during game creation, you can enter a new path here.

Warning! If the historical database is moved or deleted without correcting this value, your game will be unable to continue!


Note: If you are importing historical players, you might want to schedule your first-year player draft between October and November. Otherwise your rookies might make their major league debuts a year earlier than you expected.
