Jim825 Combo Datafile v5.0

   (5 reviews)

About This File

This mod contains eight different combo datafiles. Four of the datafiles use the normal (i.e. bigger) pitch meter and four of them use a smaller pitch meter to make pitching more challenging and to help produce more walks.

There are two main folders:

- Normal pitch meter

- Small pitch meter

Under each of these folders, there are four additional subfolders:

- Default

- Walkup Music On

- Foul Ball Replays On

- Walkup Music and Foul Ball Replays On

All of the datafiles under the "Small pitch meter" folder contain the following:

- Spitoon's walk fix (which reduces the size of the "sweet spot" in the pitching meter)

- SeralMike's Walk and Strikeout Fix to provide the proper balance of walks and strikeouts.

SerialMike recommends setting the User Pitch Meter Difficulty Slider to 0. If you find the pitching too easy, you can make the slider more negative. If you find the pitching too difficult, you can make the slider more positive.

Besides the pitch meter modifications, the datafiles in the subfolders are as follows:

1. Default datafile

The Default datafile contains the following modifications:

- Trues' batting camera #4

- Trues' change to remove batter walkup music

- Pared's Behind the Pitcher camera #6

- Trues' changes to remove foul ball replays

- Spitoon's changes to move the outfielders back

- abhall's HH low batting view camera #5

- Spitoon's changes to move the infielders in

2. Walkup Music On datafile

The Walkup Music On datafile is the same as the Default version above except that it turns on Batter Walkup Music

3. Foulball Replays On datafile

The Foulball Replay On datafile is the same as the Default version above except that it turns on Foulball Replays

4. Walkup Music and Foulball Replays On datafile

The Walkup Music and Foulball Replay On datafile is the same as the Default version above except that it turns on Batter Walkup Music and Foul Ball Replays

Installation:

To install, select your desired the datafile and extract it to your MVP2005 Baseball \ data folder.

The specific changes are listed in the readme file

What I like about this file is the flexibility: there are all kinds of options for all us.

 

What I appreciate further about the author is the amount of time that they took to explain what is in each folder so that it's easy to choose the correct file from the start. Thank you!

 

No walkup music is really appreciated.

 

The added batting view is my favorite, and makes it much more enjoyable to hit. 

 

The reverse pitching view is also nice and close, so that I can see the batter in detail, which makes the game come alive. I spent a bunch of time adding new cyberfaces to a mod, and now I get to see them while pitching (reverse), which is awesome. 

 

On the negative side, the reverse pitch meter is hidden with a runner on first and a left hander in the box. This is incredibly frustrating (and unnecessary).

 

The infielders in option is driving me crazy, as I don't see any way to change it, and I'm giving up around 2-3 hits a game on ground balls to third. I'm not saving any hits on bunts, either. I'm not sure why this was implemented.

 

Also, the author mentions a walk/strikeout fix, but all I get is a walk fix. Even with the best strikeout pitchers in the game, I get no more than three k per nine innings. 

 

In spite of the criticisms, this is my favorite Datafile. With a few tweaks it would be perfect (for me).
