Thank you so much. Like both of you, I spent way too much time loading, reinstalling, etc trying to get this to work. I gave up about two months ago & then I saw what you tried so I had to try it myself & it worked!

I use classic pitching & hitting & it is very similiar to MVP 2005. Dennis is right about the two modes which involve too much joystick jockeying for me but luckilly, you can use classic pitching & batting.

Let me know if & how you get the year changer to work. I could never get that to work even though I tried the suggestions that were posted elsewhere. Thanks!

I shut down my machine last night & when I got home from work I figured I'd try again. Will, much to my surpise, I was able to play a exhibition game. I saw the resolution was at 800 by 600 so I changed it to 1280 by 1024 & it worked. I then used the resolution changer to put it at 1920 by 1080 & I got the same crash as before. I then restarted my CPU & the game & I was able to play a exhibition game at 1920 by 1080. Unfortunately, this little restart trick hasn't worked w/ the schedule changer- I'm still stuck in 2005 but that's much better then not being able to play at all:)

I'm hoping that one of the experts here can help me out. I've had a XP machine for years but last month jumped on the W7 wagon & had a new computer built. I had tried getting the schedule updater to work but I never could. I hadn't played a game on the new machine yet. So while watching my M's have their home opener against the Angels I decided to play a game but I had the same exact problem that RoadRanger is having. I have a Windows 7 pro 32 bit machine. I have the orginal game disks. The game runs fine w/ a clean install & patch 3 & 5 applied. After I've installed MVP 13', I try to play a exhibition game & it crashes as Roadranger describes. I have tried admin mode, compatabilty mode, etc. I have installed the game on the desktop & in the orginal c:programfileseasportsmvp2005 folder & I get the same error. Here's where the 20013 file is located:Desktopnew folderMVP2013. I then click on the explode me file & navigate to where MVP 2005 is located. It overrides a couple of files but then the game will crash. I'm probably missing something that is obvious. I haven't tried 2012 or any of the other Mods yet. Ideas?

Hey Redbeard, Thanks for the quick reply. I have searched all of the threads regarding this & it looks like it works for some & not for others. I tried what you had suggested w/ the clean install, MVP patch 3, MVP patch 5 & then MVP 2013. I've moved the schedule all around (desktop, C:easportsmvp2005) & have tried running it w/ admin mode & all I get is 1 or 2 seconds of the command prompt & then it goes away. I was running XP up until two weeks ago & never had any issues. Everything else works fine & maybe someone will figure out a work around, Do you think it would be possible (if a 2014 mod is released) for the modders to have the season automatically start w/ the new year (2014) or would that be a violation of some sort? Thanks again.

I'm having a issue w/ schedule updater that I hope someone can help me with. When I ALT-TAB out of the game to update the year to 2014, the schedule updater loads for two or three seconds in the command prompt screen & then goes away. I have reinstalled the program, tried the 2008, 2009 & the regular schedule updater. I have tried running as administrator (Windows 7, 32 bit). I have installed netframework 4.51 & the other Microsoft files that might be required & nothing has worked. I have the 2013 season from last year that is the default schedule so I guess I could simulate a whole year to get to 2014 but that would create other issues. Any ideas? Thanks

Thanks!

Hi all, I just ordered a cd copy of this game. I wasn't going to get it but when it was patched I decided to grab it off of Amazon- I like having physical copies of my games. The most important thing for me being a long suffering M's fan is that I have the Astro's in the AL, so I should patch the game 1st & then install Wuld's rosters? Any other essential items that I should get? Is there a stadiums mod that has them all or is it best to go stadium by stadium? Are there any scoreboards that are compatible w/ the patched version of the game? Thanks!
