MVP 2006 Cover-Player Poll ROUND 1

[Hory]

Haha I only suggested those three guys choose cos I know they will pick Derrek Lee :)

[SwinginSoriano]

:lol:

Imagine if Hory's intended 'Triumvirate' decided everything...

Anyway, it's great to see the modding community so together on this. I'm getting pretty psyched up that by ST we will all have created a MVP 2006!

I'm not so sure about that, I get the feeling SS and I would go for the White Sox rotation. If Lee had stayed above .370, maybe, but 4 straight complete games in the playoffs is unheard of these days.

With that said, there are few people I'd rather have on my team than Derrek Lee at this point. In terms of overall production, Lee is about as good as it gets right now.

[SwinginSoriano]

Actually, I want anything but the White Sox Rotation! I'm all for just Buehrle though. ;)

[Pindakaas]

i wanted to vote on A-rod and on Jones, But i Can only choose 1

So i voted for Jones, Because he's from Curacao, and that was a dutch

colony lol

[bravesj858]

how about during the finals, someone makes campaign videos promoting the player for the mvp cover using mvp2005 clips. i think that will be a good idea.

and about the cover design, it should look like the current ea template to show we are hip and fresh...i know it has been mentioned a few times, but i wanted to make sure it was said. alot of my posts have been ignored as of late, and i apolizge for the short posts yesterday, i'm having computer trouble at home and it wouldn't let me type long posts.

i can make cts and menu screens featuring the player and replace the red sox trophy with the white sox throphy. someone will have to gather high res pics for those, as i was not on the net during the world series for obivous reasons.

and sometimes, cover boys aren't announced for games until the new year, so we should anctipate at least two covers, a main, and an alternate in case the cover boy we choose gets picked for another game.

[SwinginSoriano]

Campaign with videos, pictures, debates, that'd be cool. Just no negative campaigning.

The Finals will occur in 13 days, so don't hold your breath! (Voting ends this Sunday.)

- Next time the vote starts I am going to wait to use mine at a more crucial moment.

- The same five are still leading, Jones is dominating, and possibly Clemens will make a comeback.

[wolfy6finger]

The problem is... How much will that mean in 2006? Will the rotation still be dominant? I would more lean towards Buehrle as a 'representative' of the White Sox victory in 2005, rather than the entire team. I think an entire team or even two players being on the cover is a little much. But, that's just my opinion.

I totally agree, I think it should be just one player not an entire team...has their ever been an entire team? I dont think so...I can only think of once where they were 2 people -- Tejada/Randy

I'm kind of surprised no one offered up Konerko, the WS MVP

[Pindakaas]

mayb we also make a poll with the best cover design.

and if the mod is ready or in betá version, make a website for it.. with video's screens...

[SwinginSoriano]

He was the ALCS MVP, Jermaine Dye won the WS MVP. Anyway, I had to take nominations off that list, everything couldn't fit.

[UncleMo]

I'd like to retract my Clemens vote and replace it with A.Jones. Sorry for the mess up.

[Kccitystar]

It could be a player that demonstrates this year's main feature...

What is this year's main feature?

[AstroEric]

Use of the "Turbo/Steroids" button.

Okay... I'll put that in the write-in count. We should avoid vote changes though, if commonly done they can be abused. (Plus, Andruw seems to have all the votes he needs... It isn't like the round 1 winner is automatically on the cover.)

[SwinginSoriano]

What is this year's main feature?

Uhhh.... MVP-Mod TechnologyTM. The Blood and Sweat of every modder is symbolically included within the game.

BTW, is there a way to turn hitters' eye off? I don't own 2005 yet so I don't know. :?

Yeah, you can turn it off.

And get Mvp 2005. Damn, you can get it cheap now.

[SwinginSoriano]

Jeeper is actually sending me a copy because he is really generous and wants to help to do a great job on my roster!

That's good to hear that it could be turned off.

[MOKI]

An idea for the new feature:

Since in the bullpen the catcher throws the ball back to the pitcher, maybe you modders can incorporate it outside of the bullpen. That would be EXCELLENT!!!

[SwinginSoriano]

That would take a lot of time though, and it would be hard to make it a clickable option. Didn't someone already try this?

[wolfy6finger]

He was the ALCS MVP, Jermaine Dye won the WS MVP. Anyway, I had to take nominations off that list, everything couldn't fit.

Good call, I mixed those two up...but Konerko should of been nominated as an indivual instead of an entire team (which was the point I was trying to make)

[SwinginSoriano]

He was nominated as an individual, but overwhelmingly (as indicated), people want to honor the entire team rather than an individual for the White Sox. I'm suprised Buehrle only has a vote at this point.

So far, Willis, Chicago, Lee, and the AL MVP have 10 votes while Andruw Jones has 17 votes. (Counts Mo's vote switch) I am discouraging everyone from further vote switching unless you totally screwed up. (Plus I do not know who voted for who so the person could be lying anyway.)

[Sean O]

I accidentally voted for Pat Buchanan, can I switch it to the White Sox rotation?

[JP_Frost]

I voted Willis, possibly the best pitcher in the majors this year.

[SwinginSoriano]

With Pujols winning the MVP, I wonder how much less votes Jones will get in Round 2.
