D.M.Z. Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 D.M.Z.'s MVP 2005 Roster Template (MBE and DAT files) This roster template is intended for anyone interested in developing their own DAT roster file. Feel free to edit anything on this roster,update it as much as desired and upload it to various websites. All I ask is that if anyone uses this roster, make reference that this is the template used to begin the project. In other words, please give me credit, for it took nearly 50+ hours to research transactions, find missing players from the patch 4 roster, edit season and career statistics and fake names as well as setting up the organizations, pitching rotations, lineups, jersey numbers etc. All roster information was accumulated from mlb.com or cbs.sportsline.com. The following is what was done to the 2005 default roster. Happy Modding. D.M.Z. version 1.3 -updated player transactions to 3/23/05. Corrected minor errors such as Jamie Walker spelled incorrectly and updated changed jersey numbers.. -corrected birthdays for all players that were changed when imported from the 2004 patch roster. All should be accurate. -added all career stats(year by year) for all of the 2004 imported players and non-MLBPA players using mvpedit4.sm. (files now contain hist.dat file). -followed projections from mlb.com for pitching rotations and charts. Followed cbs.sportsline.com for current projected lineups. -edited player id numbers to correspond with 2005 rookie audio id spreadsheet. players without an actual id have been given the suggested id's from Hory's player id thread at mvpmods.com (MVP 2005 Announcements forum.) version 1.2 -changed faces, skin tone, hair style and facial hair for the following players: Brendan Donnelly, Tom Martin, Kevin Millar, Brian Daubach, Damian Miller, Jose Flores, Matt Herges, Cory Lidle, Shane Spencer, Kerry Ligtenberg, Justin Miller, Lou Merloni, Ron Mahay, Charles Gipson, Eddie Oropesa. thanks pstrickert added Matt Miller to Cleveland AAA from Free Agents and Marty Cordova to Tampa Bay from Free Agents. version 1.1 -changed all imported 2004 players faces because the 2004 faces do not exist or were completely wrong. thanks krawhitham version 1.0 -Imported all 240 players from the 2004 MVP Baseball patch 4 that were missing on the 2005 default rosters, including retired/japan players. (Nearly all 240 players portraits that were hidden in the portrait big file, now appear in the game.) -Updated 2004 statistics for missing imported players who played in the majors in 2004. -Set 2003 statistics for the imported players to '0' values for those that didn't play on the majors in 2004. -Kept the career stats for all of the 240 imported players. -Renamed all non-MLBPA pseudo names to real names. (Added 2004 season statistics to each of the players). -Renamed all Baseball America top prospects pseudo names to their real names. (I used Hory's i.d. list for these players, all other i.d.'s were assigned by E.A.) -All remaining fake players were renamed as 'fake, fake' for organizational purposes and their jersey numbers changed to '0'. -Every player on this roster has been created by EA. I did not create a single player for the template. (that is where you come in). -No players from the default 2005 roster or the imported players from the 2004 patch were edited except Ivan "pudge" Rodriguez weight. -All 40 man roster players and spring training invitees have updated jersey numbers. -MLB level has only players from current 40 man rosters. AAA level contains additional 40 man roster players as well as most spring training invitees. -A few players (primarily younger players) were moved to AA to compensate for over-filled AAA rosters. -projected mlb lineups from cbs.sportsline.com. -Roster current as of March 2, 2005. -No Errors appear when clicking on options in MVP Edit under check errors. -Fake players that appear on the free agent list substitute for unlocked legends in the game. (These fake players show in the game but not in mvp edit. MVP edit shows the 11 legends that EA put on the Free Agent list). Once the legends are unlocked, they will appear instead of the fake players. (11 players total) Installation The MBE File: -Just extract the mbe file into the mvp edit directory and open the file in mvp edit. When exporting the roster to the game from mvp edit, make sure the DAT directory is Mvp Baseball 2005/Data/database. The DAT Files: -Extract the files into C/program files/EA Sports/MVP Baseball/data/database -Although I have had no problems, to cover myself, I accept no responsibility for problems that may occur with use of file. Special Thanks -to Trues and his MVP Mods website and to RGlass for his editor. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krawhitham Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 I have a question If one of the imported players had a face last season but not this season, will the game crash when it tries to load a face that is not there BTW, GREAT job Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Posted March 2, 2005 Author Share Posted March 2, 2005 I have a question If one of the imported players had a face last season but not this season, will the game crash when it tries to load a face that is not there BTW, GREAT job Thanks Krawhitham, i didn't crash when i viewed rosters but i did not check in game play. i'll look into it. i primarily wanted to get this out for others to edit in mvp edit but i figured that i would add the dat files for those who played exhibition with the mlb teams.

wikitundra Posted March 2, 2005 Share Posted March 2, 2005 Looks great!! Hopefully it will make the downloads today. It hasn't come up yet. If you wouldn't mind, can you email it to me at wikitundra@yahoo.com ? I have been waiting for the best roster update to begin my season. This may be it. Thanks for you work on this.

D.M.Z. Posted March 2, 2005 Author Share Posted March 2, 2005 thanks to kraw for pointing out the faces. i changed all imported faces for version 1.1 because the imported faces were mostly wrong with the direct import. EA changed the face system this year and i did my best to give the 240 imported players accurate faces. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am going to upload version 1.1 here soon. it will work in dynasty but i don't recommend using this file for a dynasty or season because a majority of the minor leaguers are named 'fake,fake'. the primary objective is to get out a template that many of the community members can use to create their own rosters. i'll send both files after i get it uploaded.

pstrickert Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 Thanks for making this available, D.M.Z. I think you might want to check Damian Miller's face, though. In the game, he looks kind of like a werewolf. Seriously. :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

D.M.Z. Posted March 4, 2005 Author Share Posted March 4, 2005 I uploaded a version 1.2 fixing the faces, skin color, hair style and facial hair on some of the non-mlbpa players. i completely forgot to look at the faces of the non-mlbpa players when i changed the imported 2004 players faces. i also added two free agents to their respective AAA teams (spring trainee invitees.) if you already started making a roster in mvpedit, just open a second mvp edit, put them side to side and look at the changes of the players that are listed in the readme file.

D.M.Z. Posted March 23, 2005 Author Share Posted March 23, 2005 D.M.Z wow thanks so all the names that says fake in the minors, we have to edit and put real names and ratings ourself right? you didnt create new players, there all from mvp 2005 and some imported form 2004? you're welcome. it is still the template roster and no minor leaguers have been added. i imported only one player that i missed from the 2004 patch 4 roster, Danny Klassen. (I'm not sure if anyone would notice anyways ). I'm also not sure if i will make a full roster myself or add minor leaguers to the template in the future.
