"Activate All Prospects" Function Not Working

Hello,

I am trying to activate all of the league's prospects that are assigned to teams.

Here is what I am doing:

Bonus > Activate All Prospects
Are you sure you want to try to activate all prospects? > Yes
Activate all prospects as rookies? > Yes
Do you want to reset all prospects contracts? > Yes (I tried No with the same result)
0 Players were activated

Any ideas what needs to be done here for this to work?

Do you have "Unassigned Player" with the exact same name that your prospect?

Thanks for your reply. No, I don't have any unassigned players with the same name as any prospect.

Something else I am wondering is when I activate individual prospects, I then have to add in height, weight, date of birth, country, and position. What happens with the "activate all prospects" function, how are the prospects turned into players without this information?

The STHS look if you have any unassigned players with the same name as any prospect. If yes, it removes the prospect and assign that players to the correct team who own the prospect before. The draft information from the prospect was move into the player.

Oh, that's kind of the opposite of what I hoped it would do.

Is there a function where we can import all of the information from an entry draft class and assign them to teams?

Ideally there would be a CSV like this:
Name, Team, Country, Birthday, Draft Year, Draft Overall Pick, Weight, Height, Position

This would make creating and assigning an entire draft class a really simple and slick process. Having to create each one individually is really time consuming.

Hi.

Look at the "Prospect Import by CSV" feature in the manual. You can import the "Team Name, Prospect Name, Year, Overall Pick, Information and URLLink" fields. Prospect doesn't have other fields (Country, Brithday, Weight, Height & Position), those field are for players only.

Yes I have done that but then I have to activate them individually and enter all of the additional information manually which is cumbersome and inefficient. I hope I'm not coming off as disrespectful, I'm certainly not trying to be.

Hi.

Players are usually import by rating pack, not manually.

That makes sense, but in the rating pack, we can't add draft position can we?

Rating Pack for Players only and players information only, not prospect information.


Prospects and Players are two completely different thing in the STHS. Technically, when you activate a prospect because you have a unassigned player with the same name that the player, the prospect informations are copy to the player information and then the prospect is deleted.
