atrain3868 Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 I know and understand that the final release of the MLB 06 mod is still waiting on the release of the portraits from MLB Pressbox. My question is does MLB Pressbox release all of the portraits at once or do they release portraits individually until all are released? If they release them individually until all are out then about how many have been released so far? 20%? 50%? 80%? Just curious as to how MLB Pressbox does their portrait releasing. This is NOT meant to look for a timeframe for the final release of the MVP 06 mod but just a question on about how many of the portraits have been released. I noticed that most of the players' photos on Yahoo! Fantasy Baseball have been updated and new from last year's portraits and figured that they most likely use the same "Official" portraits that the 06 mod is using. Thanks for any info :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shiggins Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 i can't tell you but from reading threads ... MLB Pressbox has not RELEASED any High Res Shots .. and they released like a Total of 2-3 MLB Teams but not the full team ... Not one team is Compete yet going by the Total Portaits Forum Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshua444 Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 So basically the '06 mod isnt' going to be out for a while?. My question is are the portraits really that important..or can't the mod be released now if the only thing missing are the portraits and after the portraits have all been released then add them to a patch or an add on or something.

My question is are the portraits really that important..or can't the mod be released now if the only thing missing are the portraits and after the portraits have all been released then add them to a patch or an add on or something. Which would you prefer - downloading 2 files, one being 500MB and the other being 200MB, or just one 500MB download? (I've not downloaded the MVP '06 mod, so my guesstimate of 500MB may be wildly incorrect, but the point stands.) As for the original question, atrain, the people who run MLB.com are notoriously lazy, unpredictable and, in my opinion, rather stupid, so it could be anytime from now to October.

Mercurial23 Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 Is the only difference between the final release the beta the portraits? Has anything new been added that I can get by downloading other mod's individualy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

(I've not downloaded the MVP '06 mod, so my guesstimate of 500MB may be wildly incorrect, but the point stands.) Honestly I would prefer the two downloads. It's been said not to start a dynasty with the Beta 06 because of the changes to progression and other areas. I would rather be in a position to be able to start a dynasty soon and then update the player portraits when they are available. I think player portraits are extremely important to the 06 mod, but in terms of starting a dynasty I would be fine with getting those portraits at a later time. Players move around in your dynasties anyway if you allow trades, so the portraits get off anyway. But I do realize the majority of players do stay put and it's nice to have the right portraits for them. I realize my opinion only counts for me, but I would like the official 06 mod sooner than waiting for portraits if that is all that is left for the official mod. If not, then that's totally different. I totally understand why there is a wait because the site wants to release a complete official release. I'm just expressing my opinion, hopefully I won't get put down too much for that. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mercurial23 Posted April 28, 2006 Share Posted April 28, 2006 I agree with the above posts. I see how the portraits are really important to people, but there is absolutely no telling on how long MLB will release the pictures. It could be in August for all we know. Since they said that the mod would be released most likely before the MLB season, and its now a couple weeks into the season, I dont see how this mod will be out anytime soon. I, Like most everyone, just want to start my dynasty. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can always release another file to update the portraits when available, like Total Portraits did for last years teams. Agreed, everyone is waiting to start their dynasty...

atrain3868 Posted April 29, 2006 Author Share Posted April 29, 2006 Thanks for the info all. I understand that it seems that we are kind of at an unknowing timeframe for the final release of this mod. I understand why and support this. It seems as if whether or not people decide to wait for the final release is up to them. I have no problem using the beta for my dynasty as personally the portraits aren't a big deal to me. I respect that to some people they are and there is nothing wrong with that. I just hope that we don't get people becoming impatient and causing arguments and drama. If one does not want to wait for the final release then use the beta version. I for one plan to wait awhile longer and when I feel like I waited long enough then I will choose to use the beta and download any other mods that is in the final and not the beta and go from there. I just hope that others use this same decision making and not clog the boards with "when will it be out, when ill it be out, when will it be out" nonsense and drivel.

I use the beta right now, and have added practically every other mod you can think of. So to me its pretty final. I've simmed many seasons just to test things and Im really happy with the results. I plan on just going ahead and using the beta and starting a dynasty with it if the final is not out by monday or tuesday. Im pretty much just waitng for my new PC to come. Anyways, I really appreciate all the stuff this site has to offer, and plan on making a donation, because we all know this site is worth it.

AstroEric Posted April 29, 2006 Share Posted April 29, 2006 We don't need that crap if we are starting a new dynasty. How about you get banned so you don't have to worry about any of this crap? The stock MVP is good enough for grumps like you. --Eric Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

joshua444 Posted April 30, 2006 Share Posted April 30, 2006 Hey '06 modders i know you guys want to put out a complete package for all of us to enjoy...i'm sure you all will take pride in that and we all thank you. But 95% of us would love if you released whats done so far, i'm sure its almost done...a few adjustments here and there and the portraits but i take it the majority of the game is finish?..maybe 90%?. It would be great if you gentlemens could release this almost done update now and the remaining could be downloaded in small updates in the comming months. The great thing about playing this game is that we all follow our favorite team's schedule with the game...for me last year that was the case. I would follow day by the the jays schedule...play a game at 6 pm..most likely i'll be done by 7ish depending if i go into extra innings and be able to watch the real game at 7. Thats the fun and i'm sure most of us would agree with that. We're all here with a common bond, to enjoy baseball..you modders have released some great stuff over the past year and i know you'll continue to do so this year...you make the rest of us enjoy this game..but time is of the essance. Most of us want to follow our favorite teams so please take that into consideration in the release date of the final package..thanks again and we all apprieciate the work you've done for us, better that what EA could or are allowed to put out. Thanks again guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
