Anytime you run into a downloading problem like that, you can: 1) Change the extension to another compressed extension; e.g., rar, zip, 7z 2) Attempt to DL with another browser.

The rosters are all botched. I clearly didn't rank the Orioles correctly. Actually, my brother and I are doing an online tourney right now with me as the AL teams and I (kicking and screaming) had to use the Yankees earlier today. Fortunately I got Prof. Toru Tanaka as my starter..... so I was pretty pleased! Mega gm 3 SFG @ NYY.rar

Hard to know. If there's something corrupted in there, then it won't change by moving it. Why don't you do what Dennis suggested and take the models.big file found in the MVP14 mod, open it with biggui, hit the rebuild button and then give it a whirl. Also, you already have read the problems with running this game on later rigs and operating systems.

Tried replacing the models.big file with which other file?

I think you answered your own question. You can attempt trying "MLB only" ON. Otherwise, you are going to have to take the roster into MVPedit and add real or fake player to fill out all of the minor league rosters to at least 24 guys for each team.

Well, to definitely rule it out, you should install the originals from the game. These only modify the text in the game.

I have no idea and can't speak for him. I don't really know why a portrait would hold you up...... it's really not a season stopper. I've attached PNGs from mlb.com (not the greatest) of the players I mentioned. Turns out Eric Campbell was coded wrong and is in Crockett's spot. So that's easy enough to fix. I don't think there are MLB photos for Crockett or Telis. I've tried to do these, but I obviously suck at it. Portrait Needs PNGs.rar

I did. I even posted the charts that I made up and use. It's nice that you got what you think is a realistic season record, but again, what were all teams' records? See..... we could go on forever like this. Actually, I wasn't going to do rosters this year. But I decided to help out the community for one more season and who knows how long this game will go on. Many guys are into The Show and I understand why, but it's not for me. I've given it ample opportunities as well. So let's move on and have fun playing the game. The funny thing is that since the Phillies are suckin' scissors this year, I'm actually pulling for the O's in the playoffs as my first choice. Good night.

I found Aaron Sanchez. Cross him off. But can't find a current Chris Gimenez (6405) - CLE

Releasing one last roster with what edits? You must be joking. You yourself saw it took at least a half hour just to do pitching for ONE team. Actually, just checking, BAL is 7th in ERA, but wait, they're opponents BAA makes them 10th, so now how is your ranking of 1 better? Because they're your favorite team? And therein lies the problem. I think you're too hung up on this rankings stuff. I really do. Clearly you're passionate about the Orioles, but when you do ALL 30 teams, then check the outcome. Again, the game ranks stuff like stamina very highly and other things too I'm sure. So the bottom line is that you're not going to get "authentic" rankings (whatever that is). The OVERALL thing I'm going for is more realistic gameplay that will challenge the user. So, for example, that's why I came up with my Sim Pack. So just so we know where we're at, I'm not releasing another roster that looks at ALL attributes like I do throughout the year (and like I did when I released FOUR roster packs). I would probably lose my mind. So how about additional comments about how the rosters play..... after all that's what it's all about. Glad you got something you like.

Upload pictures to where? Do you mean import them into the game? Or do you mean upload them to this site? Do you mean portraits or other pictures?

File Name: MVP 14 Menu Text & Initial Splash Screen Updates File Submitter: daflyboys File Submitted: 18 Sep 2014 File Category: Miscellaneous Version: 1.0 These will update your MVP menus (regardless of the version you have installed), both pre-game and in-game (the 2 LOC files. Dozens of changes implemented! This will also change your initial splash screen (the one that pops up briefly before going into the game itself). It is the same design as my MVP 14 icon. Read me file included. Always back up your files and be kind to dumb animals.

Updating affiliates in the game can't be done in the game. You can do this one of two ways. Simple: Open the 2 LOC files with loclook and changes the names that way, but everything else, like logos will not change. Complex: Export your existing roster to MVPedit. Export the respective teams and then import them to their particular organizations, which should keep everything else in place. However, if it's a new affiliate, then that's a different story. It would mean substituting logos, etc. for the new team. Are we talking proposed moves or are we talking current moves? I know it's true for the Mets as far as teh Bisons go (even MiLB doesn't have it correct), but not sure about the others. As far as the models.big file, I did the simple rebuild as Dennis suggested and started up about 5 games with no problems and this was in 1280 x 1024. It did reduce the file to about 760mbs. I'm currently simming through a few seasons (no injuries/suspensions) and it's doing fine. I'm not saying that we may run across an incidental thing. I recall having a problem with a manager in the past TC's and I didn't discover it until I went to the "dugout" mini-screen in game when it shows the manager's face.

I could easily run some tests tomorrow, both starting up games and simming seasons.

Rising Son has been doing an amazing job. I'm sure I've missed getting something, but between what I loaded and what was in the MVP 14 mod, there still may be about a dozen needed to round out the year. If I'm mistaken, please let me know. Even better, shoot me the correct .fsh file if you have it. Thanks. See attached doc 2014 End of season tracking by team portraits needed.rar

Before we released it, I mentioned the same thing to Dennis when I was have some early crashes (game not booting at all). I have a models files that's around 750mbs, and when swapping back and forth I was getting different results. Good to know there's a limit. Also, everyone keep in mind that the rosters are not perfectly filled, so if you play with injuries and suspensions on, even if it's "MLB ONLY", you could get a lock up.

Check here for the temporary fix:

Well, I don't know what the root for this is, but there is an "original" install method, such as what we had with MVP 12 that upgrades the original EA 2005 install (and thus you get an MVP2005 folder created in "my documents". But, since MVP 08 came out with it's installer, it seemed to alter something, and thus created an "EAmods08" folder in "my documents". So I don't know if that has an effect on stability for some people. The MVP 14 seems to be a build or at least utilizes files from this latter folder, which is not changeable.

If you play online, I'm remembering that installing official patch 3 was sort of necessary. Otherwise, Dennis is correct.

That's purely an audio update that would be needed. I'm sure there are multiple players like this. We didn't have the audio updates that we had in the past, but we are looking for guys to learn how to do that and contribute. Same here. It looks perfectly fine now. I'm wondering if it's some sort of function of running this thing on later operating systems and/or more updated drivers. I found in the past that older drivers actually worked better with the game for my ATI cared. Running an NVIDIA card now. Go figure. I think you know my motto: "Vista makes me Pissed-a!". Maybe MVP needs running from a folder on the desktop like W7? Maybe Vista needs to be skipped like a stone across a lake!! I'm not sure that it's supposed to show after every missed 3rd strike, but dunno.... I usually have it off. I did see it at the end of an inning, but that could've been the usual end of inning replay.

RS.... another user found Trevor Story's portrait seems corrupted. Any chance for a fix? In the meantime, I would suggest people change his ID to "1" in the "attrib.dat" file. For those who don't know how to do that..... go to where the roster files are installed, open that file with WordPad. Search for "Story" and highlight..... replace with this line: 0fff0cfc8,0 Trevor,1 Story,2 3,3 0,4 0,5 5,6 12,7 25,8 75,9 28,10 902,11 0,12 7,13 4,14 4,15 0,16 1,17 1,18 0,19 2,20 6,21 3,22 78,23 8,24 5,25 7,26 5,27 12,28 0,29 0,30 4,31 1,32 3,33 0,34 0,35 1,36 0,37 1,38 0,39 0,40 0,41 5,42 0,43 1,44 0,45 16391,;

Well if someone else can verify, that would help. I know DJ takes great pride in his stadium upgrades. Also, Steve Pearce's face doesn't appear correct. I know Rising Son did a great one of him.
