Okay. So I realize that this is a simple procedure (in fact, one that I used to do all the time), but I just can't get it to work.
I have two players on my dynasty team (drafted in subsequent years) named Abu Bogues and Atsu Bogues. In the storyline, they're brothers. But anyway. I went into my players.dbf to change Atsu to Batsu so that they could be told apart easily on stats instead of both being A. Bogues.
For some reason, it won't change in game, even though when I go back to the dbf file, it's Batsu Bogues. Also, in-game, on the 'view player' screen, it still shows his name as Atsu.
I did try changing the 'iscreated' field to 'false' as well... what am I missing?
