Kole's face is fairly new and the ID should match up. You want to make sure that faces you are seeing as incorrect or missing are first available in the DL section and that numbers are matching up. '?do=embed' frameborder='0' data-embedContent>>

Well, I'm glad there is no cost! Good work, but I think you should combine/group your faces on one page like Rising Son does, instead of flooding the front page of the site with indivdual faces.

You're having problems for the very reasons I pointed out. We have an "official" ID list. Now understand that this list is made official by the keeper, currently Oscar. Homer's facepack is just a collection done by various facemakers. Like I said, some facemakers won't follow the official ID list, so they get missed, and therefore a mismatch can occur. This can be corrected by finding the particular face you want somewhere else in the DL section, looking at the 3 mini-files that make up a face, knowing the official number (which SHOULD be in the BaseUp roster), and changing those 3 mini-files to that 3 digit number so it matches what is assigned in the roster. Tip: you can change the 3 mini-files to the numbers you need right within the zip file itself. You don't need to unzip, correct and re-zip.

It's not terribly difficult, but it is something you have to keep up with like rosters as guys switch teams. What about any of you newer guys looking into this and taking it on?

I'm not sure you're ever going to find this, besides ratings can be over-valued. The other problem with programming in the game is the PC makes dumb callup/send-down moves. For example, they'll move pitchers up just because they have high stamina numbers and don't seem to pay attention to the quality of the pitches.

Sorry if I seemed pissy. Glad you got it worked out. It's funny how sometimes it seems to be the simplest fix with this game that we can overlook. As far as cybers, you have players with ID assignments not matching with the number assigned to the face (most likely the face was discontinued for one player and given to another). Use Homer's latest face pack DL and the latest BaseUp Rosters. We try to catch every official assigned number to match with the face, but if you think the numbers are matching but the player and face isn't, you should post it somewhere. The other problem could be that a face was included in the face pack, or you DL'd a face, where the number assigned to the face file wasn't official. Some face makers just used their own. As a side note, if you want to make sure a recent face is correct, use Jed's or Rising Son's faces. They both definitely used official IDs. If you use someone else's, you can assign the correct number to the 3 mini-files that make up a (single) face install. Install faces using TiT. Make sure TiT and the file you want are at the primary folder level of your MVP install folder.

If it's hard coded into the generic faces, there's nothing you can do. I don't even know/think that generic faces can be altered.

I'm not so sure....that's a generic face. Does the game put that in there for day games in some cases?

I'm really trying to be helpful here...... but if I'm gonna get a snarky attitude thrown at me, then let someone else help you out or figure it out. Maybe Nancy Pelosi is finally getting to you all out there. I'm done.

Wow.... you just lofted a huge softball, but I'm gonna let it go!

Every time I'm lead to a site that has an ad for dating hot, single, Asian women, I typically wonder about it's authenticity. : /

Maybe the DL got corrupted. Maybe DL it with another browser. I believe it is 925 mbs. (p.s. was it really necessary to quote that whole entire post? I never understand that).

So I may have gotten confused about the roster, it appears to be current and correct. I installed from the disks. I have apparently tried everything that I have seen or read about. Quite frustrated. What is the "J" drive you're talking about? Another physical drive? A partition? A virtual drive? All I can tell you for the optimal chance of success are these steps for Windows 7: 1. Install game from CD's / patch with OFFICIAL patch #3 (4 and 5 are useless) 2. Make a copy of this entire folder and place on your desktop. Keep your original install available for other installs if so desired. 3. Unzip the MVP13 7z file to your desktop (easy access) and click on the "explodeme" executable. Point it to the MVP folder you just copied to your desktop (don't type in the location, but use the screen to find this desktop MVP copy). 4. Attempt to play the game. If it still appears to be the 2005 version. Repeat step #3. Again, make sure you are pointing to the folder and not typing anything in as far as the folder's location (if that's even possible.... can't recall). 5. Once you verify that you can see the TC13 mod via how those rosters should appear, customized loading screens, etc., attempt to simulate a season using any team. Turn injuries and suspensions off to help avoid freezes. (Typically once you make it into May, it will simulate the rest of the way). 6. Once you verify that you can simulate a season, make a backup of the models.big file (which is where cyberfaces are housed). Install Homer's facepack by putting that zipped file AND TiT.exe at the MAIN FOLDER LEVEL. TiT will install it to the models.big file. (When using TiT, you should ALWAYS be working from the main folder level..... TiT will install to the proper location no matter where the file is located within the game typically). 7. Attempt to run the game again. 8. Once that is successful, go into the data/database subfolder (where the 19 .dat roster files are placed) and delete the 19 .dat files ONLY. Unzip the new rosters of choice to this location. 9. Attempt to run the game again. 10. Remember, when testing, choose an MLB stadium and the default home/away uniforms. If you suspect a stadium is causing a crash, copy over the original stadium from your original MVP2005 install.

@ dstyle14 Well, if the faces didn't install correctly then there's no telling what got corrupted, so you have to take that factor out. Otherwise, there is no additional answer for you. You're also not saying where you installed the game (desktop, etc.) and if you copied and pasted the rosters versus wiping out old and unzipping new to proper location, you must do that. Also, is your game from original CD's or a digital DL version?

Did you install the original game from the disks or digital download? Do you have more than one install? Is it possible your shortcut to the game is pointing to the MVP13 folder without the latest rosters, where Prince would be in Detroit versus a folder that contains the rosters? Because with those 19 dat files, there is no way the game is reading "older" rosters unless you're loading another roster set from within the game itself.

Confusing. Of course the Angels have Mike Trout. That's the only team he's played for. When copying/installing rosters to that sub-folder, delete the old first and unzip the new. Don't overwrite. Go into the game and look at the roster via the roster management section. Look for a known change (e.g., Price on Detroit). If still not seeing it, select "reset rosters" and look again. If you install the rosters "fresh" as indicated above, they become your default rosters and there is no way they can be showing old rosters, as the game reads these 19 dat files that make up the roster. You're still not indicating some things. Did you change the privileges as suggested or still do that first? What OS are you using? Did you try to install to desktop or still to some auxiliary drive? Be specific. It will help us help you figure it out. Also, when you test gameplay, don't pick an alternate uniform. Go with one of the first two home or away unis. Don't choose a minor league stadium... go with one of the majors (and sometimes Cincy and LA parks for me were suspect in TC 13....pick somewhere else to test).

Some teams struggle with having the minimum players because I'm not tending to the minor leagues as well. Therefore, turn injuries and suspensions to OFF or at least to MLB ONLY. I think the original programming didn't / couldn't account for teams having the minimum 20 players and continued injuring players in simulation. I did add the season ending injured players back to their organizations, but that may still not be enough for teams like Texas (a regular infirmary). If you don't like that solution and want injuries on full, then you'll need to add real or fake players to smaller rosters.

I assume that means you're on W7. Some guys found success installing to desktop as indicted. "L" drive means nothing other than it is an auxillary drive, split from your C or maybe a virtual drive. If the latter, then there's no accounting for that (remember what the OS system was when this game came out). Maybe you don't want to set admin and compat to WinXP until AFTER you install everything. Just to be sure, install it to your desktop (you can always move the whole folder later to your C or L or J or W drive to see if it will still work). If you're on W8, others here made threads reporting success, but I didn't really read those and not sure how they did, if anything special was needed.

The answer is still the same.

Thanks guys. New version uploaded (ver. 3) which incorporates getting the All-Stars out of the FA pool and adding the "out for the season" players back to their organization at "A" or "AA" levels.

First off....why not give the $5 and get unlimited downloads? Anywho.... The answer is no different from above: Homer's latest facepack (in the DL section). Also, I just published the latest rosters version as of today (again, in the DL section). I'm not sure why you need links. Just go to the DL section for the MVP game. If you are adding other miscellaneous downloads, then you are bringing in additional factors. Let me back up and say if you are crashing, you're not describing where and when this is happening. It could be a stadium, a uniform, etc., etc.
