miked Posted April 24, 2004 Share Posted April 24, 2004 I've d/l bats, dat files, reconfig control pad but for the life of me i cannot get Big mike's / Kerm's roster files to work. i zip it to the data file and it seems to overwrite but when i go into the game to roster manage and load rosters it tells me " no rosters found on hard disk" what the hell i'm i doing wrong ! Do i need MVP Edit in the directory to do this ? Just got the game the other day because of the great work you guys are doing! Fom the readme it says zip to mvp/data ! :banghead: Pls help !

five Posted April 24, 2004 Share Posted April 24, 2004 Which roster are you using Kerms or BigM1kes? They each have a different update method. Kerms: You simply drag his .dat files to: C:Program FilesEA SPORTSMVP Baseball 2004data You may want to back up the files before you do this. With this method, you do not have to load the save files, just check a few of the more major changes, i.e. Bonds stats, to see if the roster update worked. BigM1kes: You must extract his save file to: "%userprofile%My DocumentsMVP Baseball 2004" With this one you do have to load the save file, it'll only recognize it if you have them in your My DocumentsMVP folder though. Before you do a dynasty with BigM1kes, make sure that you load the rosters and then select No for "Default Rosters." Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
miked Posted April 24, 2004 Author Share Posted April 24, 2004 Five, Thx for responding - With kerm's ,i zip the file to my desktop which created a folder . I then unzip it and overwrote the dat files even though it would'nt let me load roster when i looked at the mets -cedeno was still there ! Do you think i should take each ind. dat file and drag it to the data file? Five , another question - When i d/l renegade's shea stadium and zip it to the data file like his readme said and then play a day game it 'not there ! Any ideas or steps i'm missing ? sorry for q's man ! I'm so frustrated ! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
five Posted April 24, 2004 Share Posted April 24, 2004 I am not entirely following your extraction routine. First extract his file to your desktop or anywhere. In this directory will be two files: ReadMe.txt Kerm's Default Roster.zip Second extract Kerm's Default Roster.zip In this directory will be eighteen files: attrib.dat bstats.dat career.dat careerp.dat fbstats.dat lhattrib.dat lhbstats.dat lhpstats.dat manager.dat org.dat pitcher.dat pstats.dat rhattrib.dat rhbstats.dat rhpstats.dat roster.dat team.dat tstat.dat So while this folder is open, go to: %programfiles%EA SPORTSMVP Baseball 2004data Copy all of the files from Kerm's Default Roster.zip (18 in all) to the data folder. That's all there is to it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
five Posted April 24, 2004 Share Posted April 24, 2004 I made a quick batch file, that'll help you out. Grab it from here. Download it to the directory where the 18 .dat files are. Just double click it and it'll copy the .dat files to the right directory. NOTE: This batch file will only work if you installed the game to Program FilesEA SPORTSMVP Baseball 2004.

Yeah, I am excited about them. I haven't had a chance to look at the shea stadium thing. I'll have to look at it when I get back in a few hours.

five Posted April 24, 2004 Share Posted April 24, 2004 Do you know what step i'm missing for renegade's shea stadium ? i unzip his shea. day big to mvp/data and overwrite which i pretty sure it did but when i go to play a day game at shea - no stadium ! There is no stadium at all? Or it isn't the updated stadium? According to the readme, all you have to do is extract it to: %programfiles%EA SPORTSMVP Baseball 2004datastadium You may want to backup sheaday.big before you overwrite it. I am not sure what you are doing wrong. You don't unzip this to mvpdata you unzip it to mvpdatastadium, that could be what you're doing wrong.

snepp Posted April 25, 2004 Share Posted April 25, 2004 miked, Are you playing with the in-game video setting on 32-bit? Also, do you have stadium textures set to "High"? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
