Wrong place to ask this question. This is not a support thread. It's the preview and update thread for daflyboys roster. Not a problem and welcome to the site.

Your latest rosters and patch are very good and I am anxious to try out the ones you are working on now. Thank you very much for your hard work here.

It sure did compared to High Heat. 3DO put a lot more detail in their games and made it more of a "thinking man's" kind of game or in your case a thinking woman's. I bought both of these games year after year and I liked both of them.

Homer I'm sorry. I completely neglected to let him know this. Thanks. Seven7, this way might be easier. But at least you have some choices now.

I did not install Mvp 13 from the desktop. It is recommended because it is the easiest way to do it. I don't know if this will help you or confuse you more but I'll try. Make a directory on your C drive. Name it TEMP. Put the Mvp 13 mod in there. Make another directory on your C drive and name it MVP 13. When you unpack it tell it to install to C:Mvp 13. That way you avoid installing from a folder on the desktop.

Again I am hoping I am following this right. Why not just create a new directory on your C drive and call it Mvp 13 and then have the explodeme.exe unpack in there?

I'm probably not understanding this correctly but what does your user name have to do with not being able to unpack the Mvp 13 mod?

This week we showcase a modder that not many people knew by name and another modder who created a mod that made the Total Classics series sound just as good as it looks. Salva Salva was a stadium and uniform modder who has been member for many years but because he did not speak English many people knew little about him. That's because when he was here he would spend his time in a now-defunct area of the forum that was set aside for the Spanish-speaking members and those of us who did not understand the language did not go in there and the same held true for the Latino members in there who rarely left that part of the forum. Salva's main concentration was stadiums, uniforms and faces from Caribbean League Baseball. These uniforms can also be found in all the various editions of Mvp Caribe but at the same time he released uniform and face packs here. Ironically the most popular mod he made had nothing to do with Latino baseball. His rendition of the Tokyo Dome in Japan has been downloaded over 1,700 times and can be seen in the 2013 mod that was released this past summer. He may not have been a familiar name to the average user but the modding community in here they knew better. The Tokyo Dome. Seibu Dome. Cuban Team Uniforms. Leones del Caracas Superpack Vol. 1. Cardenales de Lara Uniforms. Caribbean Series Stadium 2008. OTBJoel Patience and dedication are the first two words that should be used to describe this modder because his Legends from the Booth mod (listed below) took him three years to make and if you have not had the pleasure to hear what this mod is about it replaces the audio of the default announcers in the game with calls from Vin Scully, Ernie Harwell and Mel Allen. While game audio is what OTBJoel is most famous for, most people would be surprised that he has released a series of classic stadiums over the years too, some of which are listed below. Legends from the Booth - Complete. Alternate Crowd Sounds. Seals Stadium. Bob Sheppard announces the Yankees. Total Classics "Oldtime" Edition Overlay v5.0. Seattle Kingdome.

Updated to 11-3 ...After the completion of the World Series last Wednesday night or at any time during the following day it would have been nice had I taken the high road to congratulate that team for winning this year's World Championship Series. But I can't and it's not even something I'm wrestling with myself over. I'm just not going to do it. No, I'm not going to take anything away from how they played during these six games. The Cardinals were beat in every facet of the game and when that happens you lose ball games. You won't be able to look at a Red Sox fan next year without having them extend their index finger to remind you that they're number one. They may be loyal and knowledgeable fans but they also know how to get in your face and rub it in unlike anyone around. Yet this same collection of people were united six months ago for an event that changed their lives and their city forever and they did it with class. This same attitude has never been shown once however at any time when one of their sports teams has won a title. This is why I refrained from commemorating them last week. They won? Fine. What's on TV tonight? ...Just wait until next year. Captain Twenty Million is going to be back and he'll be out there at shortstop every day and the Yanks are going to be unstoppable. And then they're gonna...oh forget it! ...There was one bit of good news after this World Series went into the record books. Tim McCarver called his last game for FOX and is now headed towards retirement. That means the only people he can drive crazy from now on are his friends and relatives. ...And with the Fall Classic now in our rear view mirrors we can look ahead to what this off season will bring. Free agency and the cat-and-mouse games that go along with it, the GM and winter meetings and all the things that make the Hot Stove League the best way to pass the time until February gets here when baseballs begin to get tossed around again in Florida and Arizona. This winter though we have the dissatisfaction of the Alex Rodriguez hearing and all the pomposity that's sure to bring. Why just last week the harassed one let everyone know that he is in this fight against Major League Baseball because he felt he was serving the interests of the next eighteen-year-old that was coming into the league and to be sure that he did not step into the house of horrors that he was being forced to walk through. Without a doubt this sounds very noble of him although he fails to admit this house of horrors he is talking about was something he was responsible for building and walking in to. ...As part of a promotional stunt sponsored by Coca-Cola, Metallica will be traveling to Antarctica to play a concert on King George Island, which is part of the South Shetland Islands. The concert is going to be held on December 8th, which is the warmest time of the year in the Southern Hemisphere. As an added bonus Coke is running a contest on Twitter and they will pick a total of ten winners and they will be chosen to take an eight-day cruise to Antarctica to attend the concert. Isn't that something? I was going to throw my wife's name into the hat but contest rules exclude U.S. residents. I doubt if she'd go anyway since she is much a fan of the cold as I am. Thanks to Wikipedia I learned a little about King George Island and if you set aside for a moment the truckloads of cash that Coke is paying them I am even more at a loss as to why Metallica would want to go there. Over 90% of the island's surface is permanently glaciated. That means if you walk outside you got a hell of a good chance of falling on your keester. The rest of the island is probably nothing but parking lots. I'd be surprised if Coke gets ten winners to this contest let alone get ten people to enter. ...If you've never heard of Mario Cuomo that's ok because he's just a former politician and that means he's nobody important. Cuomo, 81, was a former three-term Democratic governor of New York and an Italian-American. Because of that he has refused to see The Godfather because it focused on the Cosa Nostra, saying that it was a negative Italian stereotype but anyone who has any idea how the political mind works he said this just to garner votes from the many Italian-American groups in New York. Now that he has been out of politics for almost twenty years he finally went to see it forty-one years after it was made. At his advanced age he better go and see the other two before it's too late. A Fool and his Money Dept: Over the last five years a thirty-three-year-old Canadian man spent $100,000 on plastic surgery in order to look like his idol Justin Bieber. Admittedly it could have been worse had he elected to look like Mick Jaggar but that's not the point. I saw a photo of this guy and they did get the hair style correct but that looks like the only recognizable part of Bieber on him. The stupid look on his face was natural and was not altered at all. I didn't post a picture of this person because I'm not really sure what to think is worse, that he spent $100 grand on this or that he's thirty-three and is a fan of Bieber. ...I wondered for a minute what his wife or girlfriend thought about him doing this then on second thought I figured he never had to consider worrying about this. ...Jose Baez, the lawyer who represented Casey Anthony in her murder trial two years ago has a new high-profile case to concern himself with as he is defending the twelve-year-old girl accused of bullying young Rebecca Sedwick who jumped to her death back in September. It's no wonder why the lawyer profession is hated so much because there is always people like Baez who are quick and willing to defend anyone for money and publicity this case is going to give him. Maybe this time the jury will get it right. ...EA Sports last week announced that a new PGA Tour game is currently in development for the new Playstation 4 and XboxOne and for the first time since they began their golf series in 1999, Tiger Woods will not be featured on the cover. EA said in a statement that they and Tiger Woods "made a mutual decision to end their relationship" and if you believe that pull up a chair and let me tell you a story about a certain Yankee third baseman who is being accused of being among other things a cheater but who is in fact innocent. Why would Woods choose to give up an easy payday like this where he had to do absolutely nothing for it except to pose for a few pictures and do a few interviews? EA showed Tiger to the door but they let him save face by saying that it was a joint decision to go their separate ways. ...I really don't think it matters if Woods is on the cover at all. One thing that EA can do well is that they can make the prettiest covers for a game that you'd ever want to see but it rarely extends to how good the game actually is. I admit I would be curious to see how golf is going to look on these new consoles and it that has nothing to do with who they decide to slap on the cover. ...I'm still messing around with Links 2003 from Microsoft and I have over one hundred courses that I can play on. Sure it's an older game. But it still plays well and that's all I care about. ...Not too long ago a man who worked nights by stocking shelves at a Detroit Walmart saw a crime being committed and decided to stop to help out a woman who was being attacked in the store's parking lot when he was outside having his meal break. It's Detroit, so these things happen all of the time. Luckily for this woman this man was one of the good guys and when he saw what was going on he immediately ran over to help her. Walmart's way of rewarding him for his courageous actions for helping that woman was to let him know that he no longer worked there after they alluded to a policy that requires their employees to alert the management and call the police instead of handling the situation themselves. It is of course something that he did not do but at the same time was also unable to do. It's a rule that looks good and makes sense on paper but following it at times like in circumstances like this is easier said than done. The bad press and complaints that they received from the public forced them to contact the fired employee to offer him his job back plus back pay from the time that he missed but he told them no because he felt they only offered this because of the pressure that the public put on them. I'll never meet this guy but if I did I'd like to shake his hand to thank him for coming to the aid of a woman who was having a bad time of it and for giving the middle finger to Walmart without actually doing it. ...I don't like to bring up religion a lot in here, so forgive me as I do so now. A lot of times this subject can be down right annoying and before anyone here assumes that I am a card-carrying atheist I better get across what I mean. Most of the times when religion is in the news it's negative. Typically there is a bombing that is linked to it or someone's beaten up or killed over it or else you have hateful people like the followers from the Westboro Baptist Church who hide behind it. Then there's one more group and those are the people who believe God is sending them a message after they've done something stupid, for example like this Texas man. He was at an off-road racing competition which was held near Dallas when all of a sudden a thunderstorm hit the area followed by lightning. It was the kind of rain that if you were driving on the highway you would pull over and wait in order to ride it out. That's what happened here as the race quickly stopped and people went for shelter but this guy decided to stand under a tree to bear the brunt of the storm but as any grade school kid will tell you this is the worst place to be when lightning is dancing around. Naturally it saw him down there and it gave him a jolt as only lightning can to let him know to clear out if he knew what was good for him. Instead of getting the hint he dropped to his knees and he got zapped again. Incredibly he survived and was taken to a nearby hospital where he was treated and released. He said later that he believed that God kept him alive so he would be able to go to church a lot more than he has been. I believe that God kept him alive but not just to get him to rejoin the congregation because if that was the case a lot more people would be walking around afterwards with hair like Buckwheat. ...I have never been tempted to do this during all my years on the internet and after hearing about what happened to a man in China when he decided to do it I knew I had made the right choice. What I'm talking about is hooking up with someone you met after you have talked online with them. This Chinese man did and the outcome was something that neither he nor the woman he went to see ever expected. I'll sum it up. A fifty-seven-year-old man started talking to a woman that he met in a chat room that he thought was interesting and in turn she felt the same way about him. And like any two people that meet under these circumstances they both lied to each other every chance they had. Among other things he told her was that his wife was deceased and she told him that her husband was in jail. Finally after exchanging phony pictures they decided to meet at a nearby hotel. The wife's husband was not in jail but he was out of town on business and just happened to arrive home three days earlier than he was supposed to to surprise his wife. This is getting good, isn't it? He couldn't find her anywhere in the house and after calling around to various places he still wasn't able to locate her. Figuring she'd turn up eventually he got changed and went on the computer and that is where he discovered the chats that she had been having with her online Don Juan and by reading them he found out why she was not at home-and where she was. Not wasting any time the angry husband raced to the hotel and when he got to the hotel room he discovered that she was there with none other than his father. That's when the proverbial you-know-what hit the fan. He then beat his father and wife, knocking out three of her teeth and when the hotel staff saw the busted up hotel room they called the police and he was arrested. The father and daughter-in-law were not and except for some bruising and missing teeth both were fine. I think it's safe to say that all the family gatherings from now on are never going to be the same with the husband not being in jail and the man's wife still among the living. ...A few days ago for Halloween the entire Honey Boo-Boo family dressed in costume as the Kardashians. Now if that doesn't make Kim & Company want to go away for good, nothing will. ...Don't forget to turn back your clocks.

Welcome to the website Stormtrooper. I am going to send a message to the owner of this website to ask him if there is another way for you to subscribe here. Paypal is the most popular option and it is free to sign up so you may want to look into that in the meantime. But I will still let the site owner know about your question.

What the hell is this? Don't you think with them winning it all last night was more than anyone should have to take? Ok, now this part I can believe.

No way man, keep on posting in here if you want to or if you decide to make a new thread go ahead and do that too. Whatever is most comfortable for you. And I also had Tony Larussa 1996. I really enjoyed that game because you had the ability to import and export stadiums from Old Time Baseball. I really wish I could play this today.

I love your work daflyboys but if I had to choose I would take version 2. That just stands out perfectly.

You're ok. How about Triple Play? Did you play that?

Teachers are special Jim but I'm sure I don't have to tell you this, Who would have thought things would be like this for students and teachers alike? It is my wish that your daughter becomes a teacher like she wants to be and never has any stories like this to tell you for her entire teaching career.

Of course I'm not angry. I love it. You'll see angry if you win more games than I do in the PS3 league. Then watch out.

Oh man. How does this guy do this? Hahahahaha Hail to the great Dennis James!

Wow...just when you think you are friends with a guy, look at what he does!

I'd be very interested in seeing this. I usually just create my icons from photos using Axialis Icon Workshop. I have a picture of Roger Maris for the '61 mod, Mantle for '56, MLB logo for '69, etc.

I recall when Mvp first came out there was a friendly debate going on in here with people that used KC's Total MLB uniforms and Moser's High Res Road Trip uniforms. Thanks to Mvp Studio I alternated many times.

What this website has never lacked is talented uniform creators and this week two more of these modders take center stage. The first was by someone who created some of the first 2X uniforms seen in here and the other by a guy whose uniforms are still featured today. Moser316 Back at the time when Mvp 2005 first was released we were spoiled in here because we had two guys who were releasing a full MLB uniform set in hi-res 2X style. The first was Kccitystar and the second was, because of the amount of time that has now passed, a lesser known modder to people here now named Moser316. Moser had a series of threads that can still be found today that covered the High-Res Road Trip that he had that detailed the release of each of his team uniforms. Moser only released uniforms for the 2005 season but as everyone well knows a lot of teams have changed uniform styles since then and a lot of these uniforms that he made are considered throwbacks. 2005 Cardinals Uniforms. 2005 Texas Rangers Uniforms. 2005 Tampa Bay Devil Rays Uniforms. 2005 Cincinnati Reds Uniforms. 2005 Pittsburgh Pirates Uniforms. 2005 New York Mets Uniforms. Royal Blues Royal Blues was another guy in here that would post eagerly-awaited uniforms because every so often he would have extensive releases that had multiple uniforms included in one single package, as he liked to call his mods. Two examples of what I mean can be seen below. Royal Blues covered throwback uniforms and minor league teams and some of his work is also featured in the Mvp 12 and 13 mods. Toronto Blue Jays History Pack. (This history pack includes 26 uniforms.) Milwaukee Brewers History Pack. (According to the file description this history pack includes over twenty uniforms.) Scranton/Wilkes Barre Yankees Uniforms. 1935 Detroit Tigers. 1971 Pittsburgh Pirates Home Uniform. Omaha Royals Pack. Tulsa Drillers Pack.

Hank Aaron American baseball icon Hank Aaron, nicknamed "Hammerin' Hank," is widely regarded as one of the greatest hitters in the history of the sport. For nearly 23 years (1954–76), Aaron played as an outfielder for the Braves and the Milwaukee Brewers, setting several records and winning a number of honors along the way. Born Henry Louis Aaron on February 5, 1934, in a poor black section of Mobile, Alabama, called "Down The Bay," Hank Aaron was the third of eight children born to Estella and Herbert Aaron, who made a living as a tavern owner and a dry dock boilermaker's assistant. Aaron developed a strong affinity for baseball and football at a young age, and tended to focus more heavily on sports than his studies. During his freshman and sophomore years, he attended Central High School, a segregated high school in Mobile, where he excelled at both football and baseball. On the baseball diamond, he played shortstop and third base. In his junior year, Aaron transferred to the Josephine Allen Institute, a neighboring private school that had an organized baseball program. Before the end of his first year at Allen, he had more than proved his abilities on the baseball field. Then, perhaps sensing that he had a bigger future ahead of him, in 1951, the 18-year-old Aaron quit school to play for the Negro Baseball League's Indianapolis Clowns. After leading his club to victory in the league's 1952 World Series, in June 1952, Aaron was recruited by the Milwaukee Braves (formerly of Boston and later of Atlanta) for $10,000. The Braves assigned their new player to one of their farm clubs, The Eau Claire Bears. Again, Aaron did not disappoint, earning the esteemed title of "Northern League Rookie of the Year." Hank Aaron made his Major League debut in 1954, at age 20, when a spring training injury to a Braves outfielder created a roster spot for him. Following a respectable first year (he hit .280), Aaron charged through the 1955 season with a blend of power (27 home runs), run production (106 runs batted in), and average (.328) that would come to define his long career. In 1956, after winning the first of two of his batting titles, Aaron registered an unrivaled 1957 season, taking home the National League MVP and nearly nabbing the Triple Crown by hitting 44 homeruns, knocking in another 132, and batting .322. That same year, Aaron demonstrated his ability to come up big when it counted most. His 11th inning home run in late September propelled the Braves to the World Series, where he led underdog Milwaukee to an upset win over the New York Yankees in seven games. Over the next decade and a half, the always-fit Aaron banged out a steady stream of 30 and 40 homerun seasons. In 1973, at the age of 39, Aaron was still a force, clubbing a remarkable 40 homeruns to finish just one run behind Babe Ruth's all-time career mark of 714. In 1974, after tying the Babe on Opening Day in Cincinnati, Aaron came home with his team. On April 15, he banged out his record 715th homerun at 9:07 p.m. in the fourth inning against the Los Angeles Dodgers. It was a triumph and a relief. The more than 50,000 fans on hand cheered him on as he rounded the bases. There were fireworks and a band, and when he crossed home plate, Aaron's parents were there to greet him. Overall, Aaron finished the 1974 season with 20 home runs. He played two more years, moving back to Milwaukee to finish out his career to play in the same city where he'd started. After retiring as a player, Aaron moved into the Atlanta Braves front office as executive vice-president, where he has been a leading spokesman for minority hiring in baseball. He was elected to baseball's Hall of Fame in 1982. His autobiography, I Had a Hammer, was published in 1990.

Thank you redeck for your contribution to this thread. As you said, more people should know James Creighton's name. This guy was one of the very first stars the game ever had. And do you realize that when he got hurt and died days later the Civil War was still going on? Thanks for the history on him and I have updated his name in the players list that lists every player covered in this thread.
