JoeRudi26 Posted October 26, 2007 Author Share Posted October 26, 2007 Wow, I got up this morning, and for the first time in months I didn't go straight to the PC to see what needed to be updated. I get here to find all this support. Thank you all. I realize it is a video game and even if I wouldn't have got the big one, I had a ton of fun getting here. I honestly don't know what I'm going to do next, but I can tell you, I will do something. I'm starting to lean toward keeping this team alive and following them through the next season. Part of me wants to try something totally different. I guess I'll think about it, but you can be assured, when I figure out what it is I'm going to do, I will definately bring the same passion that I had in this year's dynasty. If it's ok, I'll keep this thread open, and keep the ideas coming. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeRudi26 Posted October 26, 2007 Author Share Posted October 26, 2007 It wasn't necessarily the games, fred, it was the ONE RUN games that induced the beverages. Seriously, I will take a little time off, probably post some thoughts here in the thread and take some suggestions. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sportnut1486 Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 i like the idea that you stick it out with the Cubbies, but i would love to see something dramatic happen, where either the cubs lose player of gain some and it happens out of nowhere to make it more of a struggle, but you JR being the genius you are have probably thought that one over..... What ever follows i will support, because when it comes down to the end of the day, you have to enjoy it. ANYTHING YOU DO WILL BE GREAT IN MY MIND! thanks JR for the wonderful dynasty!

philliesphan18 Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 Amazing JR, I'm sorry I couldn't be here for the final stretch at the end with game 7, I wish I could've. But, reading it now has been a joy, and I'm glad you finished it off after coming this far. Congrats, and I know whatever dynasty you chose next year will be amazing, no matter what team! Rock on.

JoeRudi26 Posted October 27, 2007 Author Share Posted October 27, 2007 Guys, there will be some post playoff interviews with Piniella and the team, maybe some recap stats, and possibly a recap video of the playoffs and or the entire season. The vids are relatively short, so it won't be too inconvenient as a package. I'm going to take my time on this, maybe in the next week or so, and I'll try to end this the right way. Again, thanks, and keep the ideas coming. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MrDudleyDoWright Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 Hey JR, is this going to be a 1 season dynasty? Cause i'd like to see you take this to the next level, after the WS win Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wrigleyville33 Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 all right... part of me wants you to do another season with the cubbies and another part of me wants you to do a total classic dynasty... with your ps skills, im almost positve that you could make a perfect presentation for the old days...

JoeRudi26 Posted October 27, 2007 Author Share Posted October 27, 2007 all right... part of me wants you to do another season with the cubbies and another part of me wants you to do a total classic dynasty... with your ps skills, im almost positve that you could make a perfect presentation for the old days... That's my exact thoughts too, wrig. Not sure right now. I would love to see the stats evolve from a 1961 season. Mantle stays healthy (possibly) and gives Maris a run at the title and more than likely changes history. Finishing off a 94 season would be another idea. I like the Cubs in this era too; Mark Grace, Ryne Sandberg, Shawon Dunston. I loved that team. A 1978 Season interests me as well. Those were the days when I was young and in total awe of these guys. Reggie Jackson, Lou Piniella, the Big Red Machine, Yaz and the RedSox, Joe Rudi and what was left of the Oakland dynasty. However, presenting a realistic classic dynasty would have it's flaws. I have no way of knowing trade siutations, who went where, or really anything that happened during the year in question. And the research would be near impossible and too time consuming to keep up with the daily schedule. Choosing a team a hitting the start button would really be all it amounted to. Or I could completely do something ficticious. No rules, no boundries. Anything I wanted. That's something to think about too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

meteamo Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 I was just reading this dynasty. Congrads on winning the WS. Nice games you had. Good luck with whatever you do next. ... only if the Cubs could have played like that in real life ... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Timp Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 First of all congrats, dude. I really like how you kept the integrity of the game and how you were so consistent with your spectacular updates. Hey JR, is this going to be a 1 season dynasty? Cause i'd like to see you take this to the next level, after the WS win I agree. I'd really be interested in seeing what you can do with an offseason that has a bunch of transactions (which would be at your own discretion) and such.

pierrick Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 Continu this dynasty...Make something different...Honestly for me both sounds good because the reasons I follow this thread is the way you put yourself in the game and the way you share it with us JR. As a French I'm not as "aware" of the past season of baseball as most of you guys and it won't mean the same as continuing this dynasty but...thinking of it...What would be a better way but to discover some past baseball throught your passion JR... So choose wisely what's coming next but one thing is already sure... It will be great ! :hail: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JoeRudi26 Posted October 27, 2007 Author Share Posted October 27, 2007 Thanks, pierre. Just curious, do you own the game yourself? I know you haven't posted alot, I was just curious if you play and have a dynasty going. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mav3rek Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 you'd think with all the great mods we have, someone would have modded the game to say "2007 World Champions instead of 2005" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NYM Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 Hey JR, this might take a month or two to complete, but if you want, click my sig and you can start to rebuild them into a dynasty. That's if you feel like waiting a little and if you would want to rebuild a team. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pierrick Posted October 27, 2007 Share Posted October 27, 2007 Thanks, pierre. Just curious, do you own the game yourself? I know you haven't posted alot, I was just curious if you play and have a dynasty going. I sure own the game (so I can easily imagine how hard it is to be champion). I will start a dynasty for the 2008 season I guess that let some times for me to improve a lot of things... I haven't find the perfect "tuning" for MVP the biggest reason is due to technical "restriction" I just play the game in 800x600 for now... I won't start a dynasty until I find all I'm looking for (overlay, stadium, audio, etc...). Secondly I have to start working on photoshop CS2. I have no experience on working on picture so I guess it will take time, I mean I'm a kind of "perfectionnist" and I don't want to start something without mastering the all thing...both game and photshop. So I'll use the offseason to improve the whole of this... I've started developping some idea this week, templates plan, backgrounds, icon researche, etc... Anyway I'm a newcomer in mvpmods that's the reason I didn't post a lot for now... I admit I still have thing to learn about this site before being much more ... "involved in" and why not posting a dynasty here... I'm really thinking about it...it will give a higher dimension for me not to just "play the game" but...you know what I mean...share the passion Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JoeRudi26 Posted October 27, 2007 Author Share Posted October 27, 2007 Hey guys, I was digging around in some old baseball season's I had done in the past, and I come across this clip. It's from the 2005 ALDS I played against the Yankees (As Oakland), and it's just a partial clip of a bigger file. Check out Bobby Crosby and the play down the first base line. Pretty cool.
