Jim825 Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 Kraw posted an "easy pitching" MVP06 datafile on the forums over at FuzzOne's Total Classic website. Here's the link to the thread: http://forums.total-classics.com/viewtopic.php?t=61 You will have to login over at the website in order to see the datafile in the thread. If you don't want to do that, you could you could just remove the datafile.txt file from your MVP Baseball 2005 data folder. When you do that, the game will use the default EA datafile settings (with the easier pitch meter). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D-Unit Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 jim i just took your advice and removed the datafile.big from the datafile folder, but the game crashes as soon as it started so i put it back. why didn't it work? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just downloaded this and it works great. it changes the feilding view to more of an angle but all it takes is a little gettting use to. but this fixed the only real problem i had with mvp 06.

Dan21tn Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 Dunit he said not to remove the datafile.big, but remove the datafile.txt , You must have a datafile.big to play the game . But if you remove the datafile.txt it will fix it to normal settings. Also you can replace the datafile.big with the original datafile from mvp 2005 cd 1 its in "Compressed.zip" . If you have your original cd's I would recommend doing that . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joshua444 Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 Ahhhh no!...leave the pitching the way it is, its much better than last year's game. I give up walks now and the challenge is amazing, it took a while to get use to and now that i have the game rocks...dont' change a thing modders..you did a good job with the beta of '06.

Hoop27 Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 I agree with Joshua to not tinker with it too much, as long as there is a way that people that find it too difficult can easily set up a pitch meter for themselves. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
niceonedave Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 Ok, I'm just wondering, for all you guys who say the pitching is so much better now, do you actually have a pitch meter where there is no green zone. Thats what I have and I don't see how you can play this. I changed the slider setting to see what that is like and even with +50 there is no green zone. I agree that sometimes the pitching can be a little too easy, but with absolutely no green zone to aim for, that doesn't make sense IMO. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The harder the level, the smaller the possible green zone. I play on Pro mode myself, so I get enough green to show up to have a challenging game. When my pitchers still have a lot of stamina left, I can hit the green zone, or close to it, pretty regularly. Naturally, when they tire, it is much harder to get the pitch in the green zone.

niceonedave Posted April 18, 2006 Share Posted April 18, 2006 I play on All-Star level because I found I could get the most realistic results this way (although perhaps not the most realistics stats). I did actually think the pitching was too easy though, but now its just too hard. With such a small green zone there is no consistency. Sometimes I'll go through an inning pitching well, then an inning terrible then good, just because it's more about luck with such a small zone. This was how the first game went with this pitch meter: 1st inning, gave up 2 runs including a homer. Starter pitched the next 5 innings without giving up a run. Brought Scott Proctor middle of the 6th and he got out without giving up a run. Into the 7th and fresh reliever gave up 4 runs including 2 homers. 8th Same pitcher gave up no hits (but no strikeouts). 9th Proctor gave up 5 including once again 2 homers. I think this certainly introduces a new challenge but I don't think it is too realistic that pitchers would have such mixed innings. Maybe I'm wrong. What exactly do I have to do to get it back to the old pitching meter?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gagnon39 Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 When I go to the datafile folder the only file in there is the .big file. There is no .txt file. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I agree that sometimes the pitching can be a little too easy, but with absolutely no green zone to aim for, that doesn't make sense IMO. my thinking on the pitch meter is if you are close to the green the ball is placed about where you want but never perfect and I dont mind that. The sliders I made were designed with that in mind and you will see that the cpu hitting numbers are lowered a bit to compensate for that. I play with just about everything off for visual aids, and in my new dynasty I'm 4-4. However it took me a good week of playing to start getting good command of the pitch meter and I still do hang some pitches. (something I NEVER did with the old meter) after a handful of games and you still cant handle the pitch meter definately do a pitch meter change because the bottom line is you have to have fun while playing.

I give up walks now and the challenge is amazing, it took a while to get use to and now that i have the game rocks...dont' change a thing modders..you did a good job with the beta of '06. What difficulty are you playing at? All Star, Pro? I play on MVP man, its impossible to land a pitch in the Center of the orange now. Its 100% early, or 100% late. In mvp difficulty with this datafile, the pitching is cool I like it ... but its just not possible to pitch in the middle of the meter anymore. Do any of you who like the new pitching meter, actually play in MVP mode? Again I like the challenge I really love it, but its 100% late pitches or 100% early on MVP difficulty w/ this datafile ... =/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hoop27 Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 I'm on allstar Dan using my sliders (check sig) and I get pretty good and varied game results. but if its too easy for you I'd suggest coming up with an MVP slider set. god knows it would be nice to have!

niceonedave Posted April 19, 2006 Share Posted April 19, 2006 I play on All-Star level with slider settings that work for me, probably very easy for anyone else. But I couldn't see any green section with the pitching meter so I put the difficulty level to +50. Then I started to see the green part, and the orange part is about the size that the green part was with the old meter. So now when I make mistakes and press too early or too late I get serious pitching errors (i.e. where the pitch location is shown with either a cross for a ball or a grey circle for a strike, thus making it easy for the CPU to hit). Before, these kinds of errors meant that a pitch I had aimed outside the zone strayed over the plate, which I think is more acceptable. Now I am giving up an average of 4 homers per game because of misexecuted pitches, even with fresh pitchers. I have since gone back to the old meter and still find it much better for me, I still make mistakes that lead to serious errors but they are much less frequent. I am from Scotland and don't really know much about baseball, just what I see when watching the Yankees on mlb.tv, but I think that the pitching errors I was giving up with the new pitching meter just weren't realistic.
