I tried one more thing and it worked, but it crashed the game. I put SP ohtani's secondary position as DH in Mvpedit. Did a fantasy draft, and let the CPU auto set the lineups and it brought SP Ohtani into the DH slot! However, playing a game with SP ohtani as the DH and as the starting pitcher, the top half of the inning went fine with him hitting, but the game crashed when it switched to the bottom half when the same ohtani would be pitching. See pic for lineup proof. So close, but I guess 2 separate players are definitely needed.

I also looked at McKay's roster.dat code line and nothing stands out. It was similar to SP ohtani's code line before altering. Plus, this was through the fantasy draft and not the teams default rosters, so the lineups would not be tied to the dodgers since the draft mixes all the players and teams up. Open to checking anything else, thanks.

Wow, thanks for the reply and explanation @BallFour. So, I followed the instructions, and in this case, pitcher ohtani was the sp3, and I edited the rosters.dat of that code line to 9 from -1. I also found the line with the DH, and edited those to -1, but unfortunately it returns a "null" in the lineup spot. So, no SP ohtani available in the lineup to select. Please see the attached photos (1st of the line of code before altering for my records, and then the 2nd of the batting order in game that shows null where the DH should be). Looking into the rosters through Mvpedit, the only difference I saw between brendan mckay and SP Ohtani was that mckay had a 2nd position listed as DH, so I added the 2nd position as DH for SP ohtani's profile. However that doesn't seem to make a difference as both mckay and SP Ohtani did not reflect that within the game using the game edit roster. It looks like if the primary position is a pitcher, then it won't accept a field position as a secondary. Oh well, I'll just keep using 2 fantasy draft picks for ohtani :(

Hello, Longtime lurker & have been enjoying the mvp baseball 2005 mods and rosters at this site. I have tried searching for an answer on the forums, but did not see anything pertinent or am searching the wrong keywords, so trying this post. For 2 way players such as Ohtani, I've normally see him on mods and rosters as 2 separate players (1 as a starting pitcher and 1 as a fielder instead of just 1 single player with the pitching and hitting attributes combined). I understood this separation was needed because if you had 1 single player with both attributes with a main position as a Starting pitcher, you could never insert a starting pitcher in your lineup as a DH. Or vise versa where if the main position was a fielder (e.x. right field), you could never insert a fielder as a starting pitcher. Especially since I play with DH turned on in both leagues. However, I just played against the CPU having a Starting pitcher in their DH slot! Does anyone know if the user can do this or if this is just some CPU shenanigans? Please see attached screenshots of the CPU's lineup with a SP in the DH slot.
