    • I welcome the change but after the draft sucks. Weird that the engine would change names of existing players instead of activating on newly generated players.

                • Are any of the college / high school players also changed? Probably applied to all non BLB players.

                    • I went through the OOTP first name database and changed the draft pool to the more modern names in that file as the older versions of OOTP were poorly done. I left 75% of them alone but all the duplicates I fixed.

                      They are all the names in the new OOTP database so I didn't make any up. I thought it was better than 96 Dave's and 22 Pat's and 20 JJs and TJs.

                      If you want a player changed then PM me and I'll fix it. Sorry figured from the earlier discussion in here the duplicates were not liked.

                        I'm good with this.

                        There might already be an attachment there for some teams that picked in the 1st round and they want to change back to the old name. But I'm good with my modern names.

                        Enter the hipster baby era of the BLB.

                          Yes I went through this as well. In the NCAA/CCBL/HS there were about 100 Dave's. It took me about 2 hours.

                          Once again I will fix anyone who wants. Just PM me.

                                Shan is an Indian name meaning "pride" or "prestige". It comes from the Sanskrit name Shaan.

                                I was doing this holding my baby so my copy and paste might have made a few mistakes.

                                Once again I can change anyone back. My bad on any mistakes.
