10 out of 10, 37 seconds. Good score but the time that everyone else will collect today will be pretty bad. 33 seconds? You should be ashamed! I was expecting at least 25 today. 😄 What am I talking about? I couldn't even get close to that today!

I would like to assure you that I was not born yesterday. If you have a legitimate copy of the game you never would have gone to that site to download it. I really understand that buying the game now can be pricey and it is all because of the mods here but an excuse like the one you just gave me is while understandable, is hard to accept at face value. Goodnight.

Windows 7? Very good system to run this game. No CD? I know it's used to protect the CD from damage. Downloading a game where you did not pay for it? That is the problem here. You see on this website that is not allowed here. We have to respect the ownership of EA Sports even though the game is 21 years old. When you joined here the rules were presented to you and if you were like most people you probably glossed over them. They are however there. What we can not do is offer support. Not because of you but how you got the game.

Hello, where did you download the game from?

Yankees can relate to fans’ streaming frustrations: ‘Everything’s about money nowadays’ By Gary Phillips, New York Daily News SAN FRANCISCO — As Netflix prepared to stream Wednesday’s Opening Day matchup between the Yankees and Giants, Ryan McMahon wondered if fans would have an easy time watching. “I hope everybody can find the game tonight,” the Bombers’ third baseman said. McMahon was joking when he said that, as Netflix and Major League Baseball spent plenty on advertising to ensure that the general public knew the first game of the season could be found exclusively on the streaming service. But his tongue-in-cheek comment came as he and teammates discussed a larger point with the Daily News: watching sports has become increasingly complicated. In 2026, Yankees fans may need access to 10 networks and five or more subscriptions to see all of the team’s games should they play deep into October, according to The Athletic’s Andrew Marchand. If they want to watch all of those games legally, it could cost nearly $1,000. “That’s brutal,” Yankees reliever Tim Hill said. “I can empathize with them. That sounds terrible.” And those are just Yankees games. If fans want to watch other MLB teams and other sports, they’re gonna have to spend a ton of money, download more than a few apps and avoid regional blackouts. “It’s tough,” said McMahon, who primarily uses ESPN+, Amazon Prime and YouTube TV to watch sports. “All of the TV stuff, it’s over my head, but as a player, I feel like you want the fans to be able to see all the games.” “Ideally, it could all be in one place, right?” added Cody Bellinger, who gets his football fix through YouTube TV and Amazon Prime. “As a fan, I wouldn’t want to buy a bunch of different subscriptions.” Even Aaron Boone can relate to the plight of the present-day sports fan. Asked about the abundance of streamers and the dispersion of games, the Yankees manager recalled how there was an NBA matchup he was excited to watch over the offseason. He figured that wouldn’t be an issue, as he has NBA League Pass. But much to his chagrin, he learned that he needed Peacock to see that game as he sat down to watch that night. “I was like, “Oh, man,” Boone said, noting that he’s not sure how many subscriptions his household has racked up over the years. “I have Netflix. That’s what I watch every day. But as a family, I’m sure, in some way, shape or form, we got them all.” But even if someone has all the subscriptions under the sun, McMahon noted that finding a game can be a separate challenge. “Even the WBC games, I couldn’t figure out if I had the channels or not,” he said. “Most of the time I did, but I couldn’t find them. I missed a couple pitches.” When asked what could be done to make life easier on modern consumers when a surplus of media rights deals are making a mess of the viewing experience, McMahon didn’t have any suggestions. “I’ve got nothing,” he continued. “They got people a lot smarter than me trying to figure all that out.” Boone couldn’t come up with a solution, either. “I don’t know,” he said. “I’m an old head, as my kids would call me.” Fortunately, Michael Kay, the Yankees’ play-by-play man for the YES Network, has an idea. The broadcaster suggested that all the streamers need to get “under one tent” and offer a bundled sports package, similar to a cable bundle. “You’ve got to somehow unify everybody, maybe get all the games under one streaming umbrella,” said Kay, who was disappointed that YES wasn’t airing the Yankees’ season-opener for the second straight year. Asked why these companies would do that, the announcer mentioned public frustration — and that it’s not good for the networks or leagues if fans become more comfortable with missing games because they lack access. “I think people are getting to the point where they’re angry now,” Kay said. “If they can’t see certain games on a streamer and they go, ‘Ah, I actually lived to see another day,’ that’s how you wean people off of the thing that they love. So that’s a concern of mine.” Perhaps the parties involved will take Kay’s advice, join forces, and find a way to make watching sports a little easier sometime soon. Then again, there’s plenty of reason to be skeptical with billions already being made from an ecosystem that is stretching fans’ wallets. “Everything’s about money nowadays,” McMahon said, “and sometimes it just shouldn’t be.”

7 out of 10, 84 seconds. Two questions both about Emmitt Smith of Dallas helped me out today. Questions about Sri Lanka and World Cup and international rugby destroyed me.

7 out of 10, 67 seconds. SO much better than yesterday.

You're doing great this month.

3 out of 10, 91 seconds. Tuesdays are complete bull****. Look at these questions. What is the last name of the defender who plays in the number 6 shirt (....... McGuire)? A team from Adelaide played in the Super League competition of 1997 and the NRL of 1998 had the mascot of what? Rugby Union: Australia didn't make the final of the inaugural Rugby Union World Cup, which New Zealand went on to win. In which year was the first Rugby Union World Cup held? Who was named the Most Outstanding Player of the tournament? I got every one of these wrong.

9 out of 10, 54 seconds. I'll take this one gladly today.

10 out of 10, 33 seconds. This is fine but I just have a hard time getting under the 30 second mark.

By now some of you may have noticed that the season mods that Jim825 has made over the years are some very important years in the history of the game although each for very different reasons. Take for example these random three. The 1919 season mod with the famous Black Sox scandal looming in the background. It was also Babe Ruth’s last year in Boston before being sold to New York where he lit the baseball world on fire. Or 1939, Lou Gehrig’s last year and the fourth straight championship season for the Yankees and a tall skinny rookie from San Diego named Ted Williams who began his career in Boston. Or finally 1955, the year the Brooklyn Dodgers finally found out how the Yankees had been feeling all those years. Each season completely different and each season a Total Classics mod. And now the 1968 season is the newest member of this impressive collection of mods. When you think of 1968 you may think that it was the year of the Tiger and you’d be right up to a point. It’s also the year of Bob Gibson when he went 22 - 9 with a 1.12 earned run average. It was Mickey Mantle’s final season for a rebuilding Yankee team, the Kansas City Athletics moved to Oakland and it was the last year before baseball was broken up into divisions because four new teams (the Padres, Expos, Royals and Pilots) were added. The preparation for the installation of this mod for veterans of these superb mods has not changed one bit. You must have an out-of-the-box (or as I put it a “clean” copy) with absolutely no mods already installed. This is where Jim’s installer will do the work. Just point to where this version of Mvp 2005 is and the installer will turn it into the 1968 version before you know it. After this is completed the next thing is to get into the game and look around. Immediately on the click-to-start screen you’ll see some history of that year’s World Series. Lou Brock is trying to score and Tiger catcher Bill Freehan is awaiting the throw. More on that in a moment. The background sounds of 1968 are well represented here with music from The Doors, Stones, Steppenwolf and Simon and Garfunkel, just to name a few. I also learned that the Otis Redding song "(Sittin' On) The Dock of the Bay" was a hit in 1968. I never knew this. I had it set that I was going to use the Detroit Tigers in my exhibition game and since there was no inter league play back then thankfully I had nine teams to choose from and I randomly chose the California Angels to take on World Series hero Mickey Lolich and his Tiger teammates. California kept the game close thanks to three unlucky at-bats by catcher Bill Freehan. Each time up the Tigers had runners on base but Freehan hit the ball hard directly at an Angel infielder who promptly started a double play to end the inning. If it was not for that the Tigers may have pushed across more runs. Unfazed, Lolich kept the Angels guessing before finally tiring after eight innings and John Hiller picked up the save with a perfect ninth. Of the twenty-four outs he recorded five were on fly balls, five were strikeouts and fourteen were grounders. This mod uses OTBJoel’s Legends of the Booth mod and when Harwell was announcing he sounded at home in Tiger Stadium, which he was. It is a wonderful mod and every so often I say a thanks to Joel that he did not include Harry Carey in this. The uniforms, portraits and faces are very well done and the overlay never gets in the way of the gameplay as I’ve seen other ones do. To sum it up this mod represents the Total Classics series perfectly and will be a welcome addition to your series of mods. Screenshots Welcome to Total Classics 1968! Now the story behind this photo. It was taken in game five at Detroit and Lou Brock is attempting to score on a hit to left field. He did not choose to slide for some reason and instead tried to score standing up. When he did that he could not move Bill Freehan and he was easily tagged out. Detroit won the game and the final two in St. Louis. The Tigers said later this was the play that turned the series around for them. Between innings at Tiger Stadium. Here is shortstop Ray Oyler. Oyler was in the major leagues for one reason and that was for his glove. In a six year career he hit 15 home run and had 86 runs batted in for a career average of .175. In 1968 he had 215 at-bats, 29 hits, one home run and 12 runs batted in and he hit .135. This is why Mickey Stanley played shortstop in the World Series. As Casey Stengel always said, you could look it up. Game over, Tigers win! Thank you Jim!

6 out of 10, 63 seconds. Baseball card questions have me at a loss mainly because I refuse to buy them for the past thirty years.

I think I know what happened. You were doing so good that just for a second you may have been distracted by the question. I've done that many, many times.

10 out of 10, 30 seconds. I have a tough time getting under thirty seconds unlike you guys but this is as close as I can hope to get for now.

8 out of 10, 83 seconds. Every question was a real test for me except one baseball one. I made lucky guesses today and that was obvious.

Thank you.

10 out of 10, 70 seconds. Forget it. No comebacks for me this month. I'm still feeling the effects of the food poisoning. That's why I sleep a lot in the morning. Hurry up April.

4 out of 10, 70 seconds. It's Tuesday. Say no more.

8 out of 10, 65 seconds. Not bad for a Monday but I should of had one more right than I had.

Come on you guys, why didn't we think of that? 😄

10 out of 10, 39 seconds. No excuses for me to go as slow as I did but that's what happened.

Long legs that would have caused traffic accidents if she was wearing shorts. The whitest teeth I've ever seen and brown eyes that seemed to see right through you. A genuine beauty that did not need any plastic surgery.
