About This File
Here is a batch file that you can run to change the date on your pc. we can convert the batch file to a exe file in order to launch in steam and use the steam overlay, OR you can just use the batch file to launch your game. Some tweaking with the batch file will be required on your part. mainly typing in the directory of your mlb2k12.exe
step 1. Unzip/extract the zip file. open the TIMEBATCH folder, right click on mlb2k.bat and left click on edit. (you should open this in notepad)
Step 2. Half way down is my game directory "C:\Game Clients\library\2K Sports\Major League Baseball 2K12" replace this line with your game directory.
IF you do not need to launch through steam you do step 3. IF you need to launch through steam or want to create a exe file skip step 3.
Step 3. exit notepad and save .bat file in your desired location. Right click on the .bat file and create shortcut. right click on the shortcut choose properties. click advance on the 'shortcut tab' check the box that says run as administrator. click ok then ok again. Now launch the mlb2k.bat shortcut and voila enjoy.
Step 4. for us that want to take it a bit further, two lines below the game directory you will see "mlb2k12.exe' change this to mlb2k12original.exe. exit and save the .bat file in your desired location. i saved it inside my game directory.
Step 5. Go to your game directory and change your mlb2k12.exe name to mlb2k12original.exe. (do this by right clicking on the .exe and then left clicking rename)
Step 6. Go to the "bat to exe" folder in the zip file you downloaded from me. launch "Bat_To_Exe_Converter_(Setup).exe" follow setup prompts. i got this program from http://www.f2ko.de/en/b2e.php Feel free to use any bat to exe converter you are comfortable with.
(if you use another converter than this one just make sure you name the .exe mlb2k12.exe)
for those that use this one......after downloading and running the setup launch the converter. on the top choose your .bat file. then choose your .exe location in the "save as" box this needs to be your game directory and your .exe needs to be mlb2k12.exe
leave the default settings alone, feel free to change the 'version information' to your 'company' or product name etc. this is optional. While under the version information feel free to use the icon file i included in the zip file you got from me named baseball.ico. or use any other .ico file you want. this is optional.
click compile on the bottom left.
Step 7. right click on the newly made mlb2k12.exe go down to properties, choose the compatibility tab, check the box that says 'run this program as an administrator' click ok.
Step 8 use the mlb2k12.exe to launch the game. feel free to add this .exe to steam or whatever program you use to launch your games....or send a shortcut to your desktop. Go win a worldseries!!
