I know a lot of the guys out there have girlfriends who have a problem with them playing MVP Baseball all the time and I have a boyfriend who has the game and I think it's great!!! I would actually like to play with him but he is a little anal retentive about his game but anyway, I have no problem the game, the thing that I am having trouble with is the downloading and tweaking of the game. He is on websites looking for the perfect pictures that make the feilds in the game look just like the real parks. Now I understand wanting the reality of the game but I mean we sit down getting ready to watch a movie or get ready to go to bed and out comes the computer and the "ok hunni I'll be there in a minute" or "of course I am watching the movie" he even does it when we have guests. How am I supposed to react to this. I have gained the understanding of why he plays the video game instead of going outside and playing the actual game. But constantly reading baseball forums and downloading new features is getting a little crazy, so can someone hlep me to understand his obsession?

First of all, welcome to the forum.

Yes, it is an obsession. It's a love of the game and it sounds as if your boyfriend has it. It is very easy to throw the CD into your drive and play the game with no mods like EA released MVP 2005. But your boyfriend knows that playing it that way isn't playing it the right way.

He probably wants the modded stadiums. Those are the stadiums that are done in here to make them look like the real ones. He wants updated photo sets, datafiles, uniforms, etc, etc. They are all here.

Now, here's the good news. Eventually he will get all the mods he needs and get caught up with them. Is he a member here? And if so, how long? The longer he's been here, the longer he's had a chance to grab all the completed stadiums, KC's uniforms, the portraits, etc. Those mods (or add-ons) make the game more realistic and fun to play. That's why he is probably going nuts with the tweaking right now.

The only problem mine has is I'm usually playing it when she calls. So I have like the phone on my shoulder and the controller in my hand and she hears me yelling at the umpire and shouting when I hit a homerun. But it's all good, she loves baseball too. A KEEPER! lol

You mentioned that your boyfriend "is on websites looking for the perfect pictures that make the fields in the game look just like the real parks." It sounds like he is getting into modding. I'll will say that once I get into a project (ie Fenway) it is very hard to pull me away just because there is so much to accomplish. It is somewhat irritating for my wife but I just can't seem to let it go. Especially when the alternative is sitting on the couch watching Crossing Jordan , Law and Order (on five channels no less) or CSI. I enjoy modding and I like to do what I enjoy. I do take time out to spend with my wife but there are sometimes when I would rather mod instead.The best thing you could do is if he is modding to check out what he is doing and offer encouragement. As for those "Be right there" moments, he is just locked in. Eventually he will get bored with it, I know I do after awhile but it is an addiction. Maybe someone should start a "MVPers Anonymous." :lol:
