Shaun,
 
When starting a new game in CAREER MODE with the "Import players prior to thier MLB debut" checked I noticed that no early entry players were included for the inaugural season draft. I played out the first season and early entry players did show up in the second season draft.
 
On a good note:
I have paid special attention to player usage since installing 1.62. I think the playing time for most players is greatly improved. For example prior to 1.62 when starting my replay career in 1901 the NY Giants catcher Frank Bowerman has always been opening day catcher and would play the most games in the season. In reality John Warner played the most games behind the plate in 1901. Well now with 1.62 right from opening day John Warner was the starter and played the most games for the season.
 
This is something I've wanted for a long time. I have had so many players that in real life didn't play many games end up playing the bulk of the season in the replay.
 
Great work Shaun. I really appreciate your hard work.

Good catch. I fixed it this morning and will include it in the next patch.

Thanks for the positive comments, I am really happy with the great strides I have made in improving the real player playing time, lineup and roster AI. It is miles better than it was in the past.
