Hey guys, So I've been primarily working through REDitor to edit rosters and I wanted to share all of my findings according to what I've messed around with on REDitor. This isn't so much a project or a mod, but a guide to show you how to best prepare a roster if you wish to work on one: I'll keep evolving this specific thread with things I find useful or important to mod the rosters in the game moving forward. Players Tab: 2K reserves specific Global IDs and slots for Created players and guys assigned to Created teams . These Global IDs don't have portraits assigned to them on purpose as the game populates the data with user generated values. It's absolutely important that these global IDs remain untouched or assigned to other players otherwise you will experience unintended behavior. Every roster requires that these slots are included as they are necessary for the game to function in all long term play modes (Franchise mode, Create A Team/Player, etc.) and to ensure stability. There are 97 PLType 0 slots. Not sure if they've got in-game use yet because I haven't seen them. I am not sure if 3 slots are missing or if the missing slots were intentional by the developers. There are 50 PLType 1 slots. REDitor's manual says they're for created players, so I'll trust the manual on this one. There are 200 PLType 2 slots. I am assuming that these are meant for the game's Create-A-Team mode as it should allow you to create 4 teams of 25 guys. The IsFA and TeamID values coordinate with each other in this tab. If a person is a free agent, then they're not assigned to a team, so the value for TeamID should be -1, and the IsFA value should be 1. Every player can have up to 30 years worth of stats (this can be populated and referenced in the Stats tab) Ambitions influence the trade logic/player movement in the game. These are values that affect the happiness of a player on the team. There are 4 types of ambitions a player can have in the game, starting from a scale of 0 to 10: Amb_Time: The higher the value, the more important it is for the player to have enough playing time to be happy. Amb_P4W: The higher this value, the more important it is for that player to win enough games to be happy. Amb_TmPr: The higher the value, the higher the chances that this player will refuse to play for teams with low prestige (a losing team). Amb_FinS: The higher the value, the more likely this player will sign for a much bigger contract which overrides all the other factors. The maximum deal a player can be assigned is a 10 year deal. Players assigned to All-Star Teams will need to be cloned, HOWEVER the AppID value will need to be incremental and not a duplicate of the cloned player.

Hello, who has a roster 2020 updated to date with the IDs of the (Portraits) and the (Faces), please if someone has it, let me know that I want to start a new franchise with the updated roster.

Alright, after I grabbed my old copy of MVP Baseball near the end of last year for nostalgia but still ended up wanting to play with current teams, players and stadiums, discovered this community of modders, then started learning the tools, reading all those helpful forums threads and applying many of the fantastic mods published here to the game and have had a lot of fun with them until I decided that I wanted to have the most polished, up to date version of the game possible for 2020 by placing all these pieces together... but with one not so little detail, remaining as faithful as possible to the original features the game offers (such as the unlockables and being able to play Dynasty/Owner mode). That's how I started working on a project to achieve this but then realized how much time and effort it's taking (and will take), that didn't discourage me, fortunately I have some free time at the moment but any help, feedback and guidance will be greatly appreciated. Now onto the project itself, what I have or plan on using: The rosters: The core of the game. Currently using the MLB teams from Gordo's excellent 2019 MLB BaseUp! End of Season Rosters but since these don't include updated minor leagues teams, had to re-built the entire organizational system with the original game's rosters as a base, importing and adapting some AAA-AA-A players from WilliamsV's MVP Baseball 2019 Pack and ultimately, creating most of the remaining prospects from scratch with the tools in this site and real data from MLB, MiLB, Baseball-Reference, Fangraphs, Brooks, 2080, etc. The entire 2019 rosters for the Arizona Diamondbacks and Atlanta Braves organizations are already completed and tested in simmed/played Dynasty seasons with the 2019 Schedule (adjusted with Ty's Schedule Updater). My intention is to fully complete the 2019 rosters as a base and then shuffle up the players moving organizations or into free agency for 2020. Now my doubt mainly relies on the following: placing together the rosters for these two organizations alone took some time and effort that I'm more than willing to take it if no one else is but I've seen the other thread and realized there are capable people already creating 2020 rosters for the game, so not sure if I should focus on some other stuff out of the many things needed to be done. I think all of us willing to work on the same initiative should just talk and agree who will do what or figure out some sort of joint effort. Will talk about the other aspects of the game in following posts within this same topic as long as that's allowed, is it okay?

This is a data entry person's dream. From an earlier thread, I mentioned this about schedules: I haven't gotten around schedules yet but my idea was to change the schedule dates in the tabs from 2010-2012 to 2018-2020 instead. I'm going to assume that the 2013 league realignment (where Houston moved to the AL West) completely broke how the game generates newer schedules, because in the 2012, 2011 and 2010 schedules, the Astros are still an NL team facing NL opponents. I figure enough time has passed to build working schedules that won't break the game among other fixes. I know MLB2K13 came out for consoles with the division alignment changes, but given that the game was rushed to market for the 2013 season, I am not sure this was a long term fix. If you open a roster in REDitor, these tabs are what we need to look at, and here's what we'll need to work on: Schedule_Minors tab is the full Minor league schedule (which is why it's dated to 2012). Schedule_Older, Old and Cur tabs are used for franchise/career modes (which is why they use the 2010 season schedule, the 2011 season schedule and the 2012 season schedule to generate future schedules within the game). Schedule Actual tab is the actually used schedule during franchise/career modes and the data within this tab usually repopulated from Older/Old/Cur within the game. As I'm working on reordering all of the teams (some minor league teams have rebranded so they are outside of alphabetical order) the team IDs will change so this affects the schedules.

I am having a problem with my franchise and myplayer, whenever I try to use a custom roster from MVP mods in either of those modes the game crashes. For Myplayer it crashes during the intro movie sequence and for Franchise I can simulate and do everything up until the regular season start where I cannot progress any further because when I try it immediately crashes and puts me at my desktop. I have made a successful myplayer with the original roster that came with the game so what is the issue here? Thanks

Long time lurker here, usually play MVP, recently started playing 2k12 but I'm having some problems and I'm hoping some kind soul here can help me out. 1 When I'm pitching the strike zone disappears and my xbox 360 controller doesn't vibrate near the edge of the strike zone. It makes it nearly impossible to "paint the corners", so to speak. Is there a way I can activate the vibration on my controller or keep the strike zone visible? 2 I've read a lot about the pitch-tendency or "red pitch" problem on some of the rosters, but I can't seem to find a cut-and-dry answer. Is there a new(ish) roster that doesn't have this issue? I'm currently using mapmods 2016 opening day roster and as an Indians fan having this problem on Salazar is killing me. a) Mapmods suggested recreating the problematic players in the roster editor but there doesn't appear to be a way to link or create a players history in the league. Is there a way I can do that, am I missing something? 3 I'm very appreciative of all the work that went in to the 2k15 overhaul mod but the music is not at all my taste. In MVP 05 I made walk-up music and in-menu jukebox music for my own game and it wasn't all that difficult. Can anyone point me in the right direction for doing the same thing in 2k12? Is it much more difficult then it was in MVP 05? Thank you in advance for any help.
