MVP In SERIOUS Need of a First Basemans Glove

Recommended Posts

If there is one out there I would love to know about it. But I think that there should be a firstbasemans mitt in MVP 05 or 06. Perferably one that takes the place of the dark red glove slot. Or maybe part of a pack where you can pick which gloves take which spot. I would love to takle this. I Have photoshop experience but would probably need a little walkthrough with someone a little more Seasoned. Any help would be great.

As a career firstbaseman (little league to high school lol), I too am very frustrated that a firstbasemans mit was not included in game.

this issue has been discussed before and i think the most promising idea involved altering a catcher's mit, but i never saw finished result and i can not find it in download section.

I think main problem lies in fact that although you can adjust the look and texture of any glove, the fingered model of fielding glove is still present so it is tough to get that big half-moon look of a firstbaseman's mit.

anyway, i hope some of the more skilled modders take another look at this glaring omission to game.

Yeah i found the same problem but i think i found a way to fix it as long as the glove is dark like black for instance and the binding is a lighter color and it fits inside the old glove design i believe it will be close enough to simulate.

If anyone wants to try out my first baseman's mits before I "officially" upload them

you can download them here

www.megaupload.com/?d=2VKJ8OW1

let me know what you think. If someone could post a screen shot of both of them in use that would be great.

there is a readme attached. I made a brown and a black glove. Please let me know if the webing of the brown glove has the "holes" in it correctly. I realize there will probably need some touch up before it is ready to be released

thanks

megaupload is playing havoc with my NAV. Plus, I can't seem to find a place to register if I want to DL. Email is: daflyboys@yahoo.com

I would love to see this in action and can easily UL some screens as well.

(My 14 yo first baseman is chomping at the bit as well!!)

thx bro

Yes...I'm pretty sure it installed correctly (black one) because the Easton logo was there. I sent him some screen shots. I'm not sure it looks all that like a first baseman's glove as he may be limited to how elongated he can make it look.

Personally I am going to play without them because my one of my first basemen (Daryle Ward) also plays OF, and it would be a pain in the *** to edit his glove type type before I decide what position he plays that day. What if I switch him from first to outfield, or from outfield to first?

It's a good concept, but I would rather seen all the regular gloves put into 2X first. Anyway, in future versions of my roster I will have to have two sets of files, for those with 1Bman gloves and those without them. :p

Pretty much my opinion on the whole idea as well. Too bad they can't just automaticly switch when a player is on 1st.

the screeshots you sent were not of the first basemans mit. You may have installed them correctly but you need to be sure to change the glove to either "Red in mvpedit" or "5"in EA editor

maybe you could include a new MVPedit config file that has the word "red" changed to 1st baseman as well.

That isn't a big deal, I gave MVPedit's config the overhaul it needed and probably adding one little thing is unnecessary...

Anyway, what made the red glove the victim? :p Why not blue or dark brown? Bobby Abreu is going to be pissed that you took his red glove away from him!

Exactly, and if you play more than one season, you end up with a bunch of new rookies that don't play first, but are running around the outfield with a first baseman's mitt.

It'd be nice if it were in the game only for first baseman, but with the way MVP is set up, I don't think it's a good idea to put one in, since any player could end up using it. You end up sacrificing a lot of realism to gain a little temporary realism.

in the UR rosters

970 use light brown

642 use brown

1281 use black

80 blue

92 red

I guess changing blue is a better choice

no real reason why I chose red over blue. Whatever works best can be done

unfourtaintly there are limitations with every mod
