A Notice About Buying, Downloading and Torrenting

Recommended Posts

Hi everyone,
 

Just wanted to make some things clear for new visitors and old ones alike:

 

1) If you're relatively new or have previously visited the site, you will find that both games that we have active mods for are aged titles: 

MVP 2005 is 10+ years old.

MLB 2K12 is 10+ years old.

 

You will find it very difficult to obtain a copy of MVP Baseball 2005 or MLB 2K12 (both of which have an active community and extensive threads on our site for support), and your best bet is to look at sites like eBay, craigslist, or Amazon for a copy.


Well, holy crap KC, why are they so expensive? 

Consider that MVP 2005 came out long before Steam/Origin was a thing and it's the last EA baseball title on PC can only be found via optical media (on two regular CDs). From what I've researched, you will be looking towards spending $100 for this game.

MLB 2K12 is a mix of both, being on optical media and digital download. If you lost the digital download serial, well, there's always the disc version, and if you have it on Steam (most of us do), it's yours forever unless Steam decides to remove it off the servers to download and use. The game itself, even though it's fairly old by this point, is the most common game to run into on this list in a discount store as well as online.


2) I will stress that if you do not have the means to purchase the game, or are not willing to pay the high price for the games themselves if you have exhausted all of your options, we collectively as administrators of this site understand your situation. I mean, I get it. When you look at a game costing a little over $100 USD, it may cost EVEN HIGHER in another country. While we're not in control of the game's price, we understand. As a result, like most people, you'll consider downloading the game through other means, whether that's a link on MEGA or some ISO's over someone's Google Drive or through BitTorrent. 

 

That's our boundary. We don't support or enable piracy as discussed in our Site Guidelines. If you're looking for a torrent, a keygen, or a crack to fix issues with the game, you will not find that publicly on this site. If you are caught asking for ways to circumvent any of the supported game's security features (through a keygen or a crack, for example), you will run the risk of being banned from the site for breaking the guidelines you agreed to when you created an account to be a part of this community.  As long as we have an understanding on this, you're free to be a part of this community. Site staff in general are absolutely not in the interest of going on a witch hunt to verify who has a legit copy of the game because that's not our job.

Our job is to maintain the content we provide, and maintain a positive community that loves these games.

 

If threads get derailed as part of intentionally starting a witch hunt to try and justify not helping a person with an issue related to mods, you'll be warned, and this applies to everyone, moderators included.

Nice post KC and it should answer every question that will come up about this subject.

Both games are expensive. Too expensive and that's because what is available here thanks to modders like you and every other person who has contributed to Mvp or the 2k game or both. If I were getting into this right now I would really have to consider what game to get and if I want to spend that amount of money.

Sure it's worth it but the price of these games are not something we can control or do anything about. And you've said this.

But people will continue to ignore what you are saying because there is always someone who wants to take a shortcut.

At least you explained everything here. Any intelligent person should have no problem with this.

Please delete if this is inappropriate, but I actually just came on the site today to see if anyone is interested in buying my copy. I have the box, the manual, both discs, and the original jewel case (including the serial key). I think it's complete. http://i.imgur.com/C26iH2h.jpg 

If you are interested, please shoot me a PM! I'm not really sure what it's worth. 

Anyway, I'd much rather sell it someone from this community -- I used to be moderately-involved in it -- rather than have some random on eBay buy it. 

Again, please delete if this is not appropriate. I'm not trying to hijack this thread.

What the HELL does this have to do with the topic? There is a Windows 10 thread here for Mvp baseball. Search for it.

Oh my God.

You know, Y4L, it...kind of does.

MVP Baseball 2005 doesn't work on Windows 10 unless you're using a no-cd crack, which makes buying the game to play on Windows 10 an issue.
