It won’t last long at that price!

I found one! Right here!

Don't give up. I always spot them on eBay. They may not be there for a few days and then one will pop up.

Yeah I have been looking around online, trying to find a copy but am not finding anything for the PC. I remember looking a few years ago for someone else and there were several copies on eBay and FB Marketplace. Amazon has it unavailable. I'll keep poking around.

I have no idea and I am so sorry this happened to you. Do you think that your best bet is to get a new copy from eBay? Sure you'll pay more than you did twenty years ago but you are a long time member here and you know very well what is offered here with having a good copy of the game. Best of luck.

Yankees signed RHP Adam Ottavino to a one-year contract. Mariners signed RHP William Fleming to a minor league contract.

I wasn't sure where to put this, and didn't see another forum for it, but I recently lost my PC copy of the disks that I had since July 2005 in a sump pump back up and cannot seem to find a disk copy online now as a replacement. Does anyone have any leads or know where I can grab a new one? I let out an audible "Nooooooo!" when I found the box with the disks soaking wet. Ugh. Thanks.

I only got second place because you were on the DL for almost a week. 7/10, 64 seconds. Not a bad start.

6 out of 10, 69 seconds. Tuesdays are always a tough day for me. Ok, here are the results for March. Jim won it by seven points over Sabugo who had a very impressive month too.

6/10, 66 seconds. It was a tough one today with 4 soccer questions.

Something is strange about your default Cardinals vs. Cubs game. The default teams in the PC version of the game are the Cardinals vs. the Red Sox. I also have a dedicated Windows XP PC that just has the default MVP2005 game and numerous Total Classics versions of the game installed. A few years ago, my company's IT department was giving away old Windows XP tower PCs that were sitting around gathering dust, along with Windows XP SP3 CD's. I grabbed one of the PCs and spent a total of $75 on eBay for a new mother board with an AGP graphics card slot and an Nvidia GeForce 6200 512 MB AGP graphics card. I reformatted the hard drive, installed Windows XP SP3, MVP2005 (and the patches) and the various Total Classics mods. I never connect the PC to the Internet so I don't have antivirus or any other applications installed to slow down performance. The game runs very smoothly, and using the resolution changer utility, I can play the game on a widescreen monitor. This was one of the best $75 investments I've ever made. All of my modding is done on an 16 year old Windows XP laptop.

With another baseball season beginning we are getting quite a few new people here and the first thing they will probably be doing is head straight to the download area and getting mods for their game. It got me to thinking why not recommend some of or favorite mods so they can check them out? I’ll start with two for Mvp baseball 2005. The Negro League Baseball mod Dennisjames71 has made many mods that newcomers will find all over the download area in mvp 2005 and for 2k’s games but this mod has to be hands down his best work. Consider what he had to do here to make this. Player stats were not as available or accurate at that time as pulling up statistics for the 1929 St. Louis Browns for example. Negro League stats were harder to come by but Dennis did it. Another unique thing about this mod is the stadiums that are included here. There are over a dozen stadiums in this mod that are not and will not be included in any other mod because these are Negro League stadiums. Hincliffe Field, Mack Park, Memphis Red Sox Park and Ruppert Stadium are four examples of what is included in this mod. I am willing to bet that even some veteran Mvp users are not aware of these stadiums. Total Classics 1951 I have been playing this wonderful mod for seventeen years and I was even fortunate enough to pitch a perfect game in it. This mod is a little older than the 1941 and 1939 mod that I play a lot too but with this mod I have never played a bad game in it. Something always seems to happen either in my favor or against me. Using the original sixteen teams in major league baseball was a thrill in itself. Give this mod a shot.

7 out of 10, 74 seconds. Four questions about the 2003 season and I only got one right.

Win11 + Legit CD copy using USB CD Drive + SafeDiskShim + DGVoodo2 instructions followed to the letter = Black Screen, Blue circle, Back to Desktop... no baseball The idea of the dedicated Windows XP PC already won me over. I've got a dedicated box off the internet Win XP SP3 Direct X 9.0C + XBOX 360 Controller Drivers + Joy2Key + Monitor set at 60Hz and Square Mode (black bars on the side). I've got all 5 patches installed and it is playing great. This game is really a masterpiece. I played the default teams Cards vs Cubs which is weird because the Gamecube version defaults to Cards vs Red Sox so the cover star is actually playing. Anyways, I was testing controls and serving up meatballs and David Eckstein hit one into gap in Wrigley and it kicked off the piece of the wall that sticks out and veered 90 degrees toward the foul pole outfielder had to pick it up in the corner and he got a triple. Also have one that went into the ivy for a ground rule double. This game has just enough arcade element to it where it's just so much fun, but it's still pretty much a simulation. I'm excited to try some of the total conversion and total classic mods. I was disappointed to see that the 2025 Mod was teased and then disappeared. Oh well, it looks like there's a lot of great mods, so I'm excited to try them. I can't wait to try 1994 Ken Griffey Jr. I already had my XP box working when I was reading about these other solutions and I felt kind of dumb having invested in the XP box and the XBox 360 controllers and configuring that whole setup if I could just play this game on my regular modern day computer. But, if were possible to play on my regular computer that would be optimal, so I went ahead with the instructions regarding safediskshim and dgvoodo2. None of that worked with my legit copy running on Windows 11. I copied the files over to the right directory. I have the physical disk 2 in the drive. Nothing. But it does work really well on XP. My retro setup is on an Nvidia GeForce GTX745. That being said I gotta give an honorable mention to the version I won't say specifically but born out of the GameCube flavor of this game and it looks stunning with the enhancements.

9/10, 46 seconds. I missed the last one, which I knew.
