Pirate Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 There should be a Negro Leagues Total Classics. In fact it's a travesty that there isn't. Quick someone send me a comp and a copy of the game.

Homer Posted March 1, 2008 Author Share Posted March 1, 2008 i would love to do it, but i don't know that much about the league. but i agree. someone should take on that task. for now, i'm trying to assemble a team or more of the greats to include in the legends mod.

Pirate Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 So angry that I no longer have the game. I don't know why I didn't think of this earlier.

Pirate Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 The hardest part will be rosters. I don't know if we can find rosters. I have baseball history books at home... but that might be the hardest thing. It looks like this has been attempted before.

Homer Posted March 1, 2008 Author Share Posted March 1, 2008 wow, i didn't know thome was working on one. we'll have to ask him about that. Link to comment https://www.mvpmods.com/forums/topic/33505-negro-leagues-anyone/#findComment-501337 Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jim825 Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 There is one Negro League team in Total Classics -- the 1934 Pittsburgh Crawfords. As has been mentioned in previous posts, the difficult part of creating Negro League teams is finding actual rosters. Once we got past Total Classics 4, Fuzz was going to create a Negro League mod and Thome did create a number of uniforms. What doomed the project was not being able to find rosters.

Homer Posted March 1, 2008 Author Share Posted March 1, 2008 anyone with any ideas on how to get rosters then? this is definitely a must do project if we can get those.

Homer Posted March 1, 2008 Author Share Posted March 1, 2008 how about this, do we have enough information that i could do a few all time greats team? Link to comment https://www.mvpmods.com/forums/topic/33505-negro-leagues-anyone/#findComment-501340 Share on other sites More sharing options...
BigRog Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 Another idea would be to make the teams and fill them with players you know of. With the remaining slots just make random default players that you can go back and edit when you get more information or if you get more information.

Davidc Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 Here's an idea for which teams to include - http://www.blackbaseball.com/teams/index.htm One of the issues you'll run into MVP-wise is that most Negro League teams carried rosters of 14 or 15 players, which is too low a number for a major-league MVP team. I have a Negro League encyclopedia which describes the individual players in a general sort of way, but doesn't include stats. If you believe Ken Burns, most Negro League teams where too financially strapped to have an official scorekeeper, but baseball without statistics? Come ON! I have to believe that the Chicago Defender and other black news outlets must have published box scores regularly, somebody just needs to compile them. I'm under the impression that's what the 250,000.00 grant described in the answer to Thome's post was all about. Any way I can help, Homer...

Homer Posted March 1, 2008 Author Share Posted March 1, 2008 dang, if they have box scores, they should send them here. i'm sure we could handle it. but thanks. you know all about the mod i'm working on, so 14-15 players works for my mod. i just need to pull anywhere from 2-8 25-man rosters of some of the great ones. but yeah, the 25 man roster for a total conversion roster might prove difficult. but hell, we're creative. i'm just glad we're at least discussing this again. small steps :) Link to comment https://www.mvpmods.com/forums/topic/33505-negro-leagues-anyone/#findComment-501353 Share on other sites More sharing options...
redsox Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 Homer, would this help? http://www.coe.ksu.edu/nlbemuseum/history/players.html If you click on each player, it takes you to their profile and tells you what team they played for.

redsox Posted March 1, 2008 Share Posted March 1, 2008 I am attaching a databse that contains certain players form the Negro Leagues with stats. This should definitely help us in adding the roster into our mod.

Homer Posted March 1, 2008 Author Share Posted March 1, 2008 good point hcl... well i love the links you guys gave. basically, what i got now for the legends mod is enough guys to fill two levels for the marlins, rockies, rays, and d-backs. i'm saving the other two levels for negro leagues/japan players. so i need at least 100 guys. i'm gonna start with those in the HOF. thome, if you find it, let me know. it would be invaluable to anything we're doing. if anyone has ratings on any of these guys, that'd be great too. besides TC8 that is, i already have that roster.
