After some varied tinkering with rosters and sliders, settled on something that I think will work. It was necessary to dumb down contact and power significantly to get the realistic desired effect, including the dreaded excessive walks. It still may be necessary to tweak the throw balls slider slightly, but would like to see people's results. Attached 3 example games. Exhibition.rar

Install the original game Install OFFICIAL patch #3 (4 & 5 are just roster updates) Make a duplicate copy of this install (to keep around as a "template" to install other TC mods if you want) Install MVP 13 to the duplicate Install any MVP 13 patches available Don't modify anything further until you can get this "core" MVP 13 functioning *Many guys are finding a problem running MVP on W7 --- therefore, first try to right click on the mvp2005.exe file in the main folder and run in XP (SP3) compatibility mode and check box to run as administrator. If these steps don't work, try to reinstall the original MVP game via the discs to your DESKTOP.

Go into the team.dat file (via wordpad or textpad). And for them to show up in the game properly, you'll need to change them in the 2 LOC files (which you open and edit with LOClook).

And he should be on the MLB squad.... thanks. And nice job with the updates.

Up to you....he's a pretty marginal player right now. 28 ABs to date.

Found a few other "needs". Some RP's have stamina too high. This will be corrected in the next release. Also, Bobby Abreu had to undergo a generic makeover since his cyber is no longer available. His look and numbers need to be adjusted.

And you applied all of the compatibility options and run as administrator selection? All I can get is the black dialogue box, but no text saying it's searching. I even tried to switch the game save to the EA Mods 08 documents folder. It is possible that the program is designed to search for "Dynasty" named saves. A while back I changed the LOC files to "Season" and it sort of stuck with everyone since then. I was able to sub them in, but I get the same results. Sorry. But this is what it's not.

Since installing W7, I can't seem to get Ty's tools to operate. Seems like I've tried everything in manipulating the .NET Framework installs (typically getting the message that 2.0 and 3.5 are already part of the OS) along with administrator privileges and compatibility modes. I can get the black dialogue box to appear, but it can't seem to find the "address". I thought maybe it had to do with installing to the program files folder which is denoted as x86 versus what Windows XP had. I copied my folder over to the "plain" programs folder and no change noted. Addendum: well, mystery solved..... it just takes hella longer for the address to be searched I guess. So far BSE, Stamina Changer and Team Changer working. Just ran so much faster on XP. Damn you M$!

I did find one attribute error. Tom Koehler, MIA pitcher, should have a 93 mph FB. It can be easily corrected by going into <pitcher.dat> and change the value for him for slot #7, which is the FB pitch speed. It currently says something in the 60's.

As long as portrait makers are using the official ID list, they should match up. I doubt YYHMST changed very much, but there can always be a few off.

Absolutely no way I would have considered this without YYHMST's work from my roster set from last year. He deserves a great, great amount of credit. Almost needless to say this will remain MLB based. I may release one more adjunct sub-set where the season-ending injury players are moved to the FA pool.

He did a great amount of work with some player creation and especially the moves. This update COULD NOT have been done without him!! VERSION: 2014 Phase 1 (MLB Focused) Release Date: 05.20.14 Balanced rosters with 12 or 13 pitchers per team Free Agency pool cleaned up and reflecting current majors pool Transactions to date of release (please note any corrections needed) Season-ending injured players kept at organization’s lower levels(note: game may move them to upper levels) 3 versions available: HR% and Star Power intact; HR% only intact; and NO HR% and NO Star Power (which I prefer for more realism) Click here to download this file

You would actually say a phrase like "pull their hair out" with an avatar like THAT!!??

Never noticed this. Maybe this should be in the DL section for all to see? Thanks very much.

Roster numbers can be changed in MVPedit or probably in the <attrib.dat> file itself. Just find the correct indicator. Jaxen.... there's a Sandberg face in the DL section, but you'll need to make sure the face and cyber no. match up per usual.

Since it appears as if no one else is going to continue with rosters, I can help you get the next set ready if you want. This would be making sure that MLB rosters are balanced with 12 or 13 fielders, 12 or 13 pitchers, and the complete pitching staffs being balanced. I don't think batters' contact and power ratings should be changed until the midway point when you can get a good amount of data. I would also be willing to help with those, but ONLY for batters who have played a SIGNIFICANT amount of games (at least appeared in 75% of the games to that point).

Well....between that and no classic pitching, that should about seal it. I have played earlier versions of this game on console (blech!) and PC, so I was wondering about this particular version. Well, at least I'll save some money....hehe..... thx guys.

Thanks for these Dennis, and the feedback in the other thread.

So there is no direct IP 2 IP play? This seems to be the case for NBA 2K12.

You've played it?

I think you're jumping the gun. I'm asking to see if it's worth trying to find a copy. And yes, the amazon.ca option will not ship internationally. Not sure how one can get around that, unless there's a willing Canadian member here that we trust to re-route packages.
