Looking awesome KC!

8 out of 10, 62 seconds. A minor miracle today as I got eight right and it's Tuesday. They made a mistake and asked me three baseball questions this time that I pounced on. Usually they give me questions like what the hell India did in some sporting event in 1967 or crap like that.

Diamondbacks RHP Joe Ross elected free agency. White Sox claimed LHP Doug Nikhazy off waivers from the Guardians. Blue Jays acquired 2B Tyler Fitzgerald from the Giants for cash. Rockies claimed LHP Sammy Peralta off waivers from the Brewers. White Sox returned RHP Jedixson Paez to the Red Sox. Mets signed RHP Luke Jackson to a minor league contract. Blue Jays signed LHP Patrick Corbin to a one-year contract.

9/10 110 seconds, I hate long questions, they make me waste a lot of time

Devlin has made me play more HB5 than MVP now, I´m hook now to the game

Yes it was!

Devlin is something else, isn't he? He has revived a game that came out in 1995 and improved on it.

9/10, 53 seconds. I felt really good result, only to find out it was the 3rd best score! I also got the same question twice. Sabugo - Was your question about Pete Rose?

9/10, 50 seconds. Wow, just wow. And I got the same question twice, for some reason.

Thank you. Now if I can harness this from Tuesday to Sunday I'd be ok. 😃 I've noticed these questions at times can humble you. For example if you think you had a good day and then find out that you only got three or four right.

A big thanks Devlin

That´s not unexpected at all, you´re doing great on mondays lately.

Thank you Devlin. As always your work is wonderful.

10 out of 10, 52 seconds. Unexpected results, although welcomed, on a difficult day of questions.

Small update to the mid90s mod. Added 17 portraits (& audio for Eric Young). Yes, there are some Rockies on board. 😀 Important: If a season is already underway, using the mid90s.lgd, do not overwrite it or you would lose your progress. The same applies, of course, to every change made since my last update (trades, ratings and so on). In this case, please import the players individually instead. The respective files are located in the zip archive: update2.zip I also made some progress with the 16 team leagues. Changed some backgrounds (late 1920s mod only so far). Looks much better now. Thanks to freem's tool, I was able to easily understand how to add background images regardless of size, which of course makes a big difference. I also reworked the schedule. You can now properly start/restart a season (full season only) ingame. Unfortunately, still neither tiebreakers nor the World Series are triggered correctly. Expanding the league from 12 to 16 teams has messed up the postseason logic and I don't know how to fix it. 😒 If someone ever gets that far, I could probably add the correct teams manually – haven’t tried it yet, but it should work. Installation: Simply replace the hardball.bin in your 1920s game folder with the one in the zip.

Yes, you need a more powerful machine.

Thank you so much!!! This is great. I have interest in the Super Mega Baseball mods as well. Would I need something different for that?

I have an old Dell PC with plenty of storage for all the games and associated files. Make sure you have any PC set up for Windows 7, as more modern versions aren't stable for MVP Mods. Here's an example of a similar PC that I use exclusively for MVP Mods currently on EBay for under 100 bucks. https://www.ebay.com/itm/234201536005?_skw=Dell+PC+Windows+7&itmmeta=01KNF4Y9019R6JM43J4C2SW17K&hash=item36877fd605:g:fCcAAOSwV5pns9Lu&itmprp=enc%3AAQALAAAA0GfYFPkwiKCW4ZNSs2u11xCGMln2iY2pHKU69Uor2fxDcwYNomiDvwul5jxO9pyxRAEMLPS9lGD%2FXhkMnrLLHyEdryWTFdpIISNeZvp4twi17o88ehRy4WW8HydaSlJROShssEmaRzEtSUlLez526rJVV%2Bekli%2BNBmA2OCSJofztwPjmNknFGEyPyA%2F6blYV%2BLy4L13fq%2FkUv7eTKeXzX8sKeGPpXvNR8SiWYQHoBHQoUs4FsgnwLWWJDskxcYge14lYiESj8BHaSsQwbBbtV0Q%3D|tkp%3ABk9SR5qQ-eSrZw I NEVER connect my PCs to the internet so you don't have to worry about Windows updates that could mess up your setup. I keep the MVP 2005 Disc 2 in the machine to limit risk of scratching and damage to the game. I also have multiple backups of the original discs in case of any damage to the disc. This will cost you a little but I think you'll find it's well worth it for piece of mind. I currently have three copies of the original MVP Mods Discs 1 and 2 - basically when I've seen opportunities to purchase reasonably (under 75 bucks), I've jumped on those so I have three current copies of the original discs. Right now there are multiple copies available on EBay in the 45-65 dollar range, which many folks who have been here a while will tell you is quite reasonable (see below): https://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_nkw=MVP+Baseball+2005+PC&_sacat=0&_from=R40&_trksid=p2332490.m570.l1313 Get a good Playstation controller for PC - there are several different versions but you don't have to spend too much on it. Make sure you take the time to set up the controller for proper play. Also you'll obviously need a monitor. You could stay within $300 for everything (PC, original discs, monitor, controllers, etc.), which is still cheaper than most modern gaming consoles. Plus I have a full backup setup at my parents house so I can still play when I visit them. All you have to do in that case is drop your saved files on a zip drive and load them when you move back and forth :) Welcome to this amazing world my friend! The years I've spent playing this game have been so rewarding and fulfilling! And now I'm blessed to share this game and amazing experience with my son. My 15-year-old son and I recently started a new season with the 1951 Brooklyn Dodgers, and it's so much fun! The stadiums, the uniforms, it's the next-best thing to going into a time machine and reliving these amazing players and teams! For a baseball nerd like me, it's just the best! Good luck (and I'm here if you have any other questions!)
