Mana Games

I am trying to add these three generic UK players to the Players.ATP file Sams Patch just to see how easy modding is. However unless I select the start year of a player these new players wont show up.

Any ideas of what causes this?

You should modify "Best Rank" and set it to 60 or less.
I dont know why that restriction exists.
I think every player should be available and there must be a search tool to find faster any player.

Did you not see them in the ranking inside the game?
Anyway they must be in it.

If you play in 1990 of course.

The players appear if I select their starting year but I am trying to get it so I can pick them at any time after.

I have made the best rank at 40 and the players will show but only with a playing period of 0 years (1990 : 1990). How can I change this so these players can have a longer career than 12 months

The yearly rankings were missing - its all sorted now.
