lyon810 Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 As much as I adore what you guys have done with this revamped version of the game, I'm still puzzled by one thing every time I start the game up. With all the mods and programmers and what not that went into this, why did you all come to some odd consensus that Griffey should be the face of your game? Was also wondering who else you guys considered, or who most of you on this forum would have liked to have seen as the coverboy? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Yankee4Life Posted November 24, 2008 Share Posted November 24, 2008 Because the guy that is in charge of creating the 08 mod (and the 07 and 06 mod) is a huge Cincinnati Reds fan and is also a big Griffey Junior fan. That's why he's featured when you start up the 08 mod. It's not a big deal and I really don't think it bothers anyone a bit. That is of course with the exception of you because you had to start this thread. There was talk about many players being the coverboy of the game and to be perfectly honest with you, I didn't care who was the final choice and the same goes for the coverboy for the 09 mod.

That is of course with the exception of you because you had to start this thread ok take it easy, was merely making an observation. I'm not offended when I start the game, just seemed like an odd choice is all, considering Griffey hasn't done much in the past little while.

RaptorQuiz Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 Actually, wasn't the "coverboy" Youkilis? KGJ is in the intro and such, but the mock-cover had Youk on it, didn't it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

InSainn Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 This is off-topic slightly but I vote for Longoria to be the 09 "coverboy"... was there any better story than that of the Rays this past season? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cococrispy Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 This is off-topic slightly but I vote for Longoria to be the 09 "coverboy"... was there any better story than that of the Rays this past season? We could have the MVP of the league every year (in this case, Dustin Pedroia)... Then, we don't have to have opinion. After all, the game is NAMED MVP Baseball. Anyway, I really do not think Ken Griffey should have been on the cover of 08... Even though the "creator" was a fan of the Reds, I think there was a much better choice...

I'm not quite sure why this thread was created, as Kevin Youkilis was on the MVP 08 cover, not Ken Griffey Jr. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Even though the "creator" was a fan of the Reds, I think there was a much better choice... Then I kindly suggest you send Krawhitham a PM about this or maybe visit his site at Eamods and let him know that you do not approve of having Ken Griffey featured on the 08 mod. I am sure Kraw would be very understanding of your concerns and maybe he would make a special version just for you. You create the mod, you pick the cover person. Deal? Sounds acceptable to me. um if you have an issue with what the creator decides to include either A) Make you own mod Don't Download the mod. You're right again BigRog. This guy's not even been here a month and he's complaining because he sees Griffey in the video that starts the 08 mod. He's got a lot of nerve if you ask me. or we could have a poll for the cover boy just a thought. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yankee4Life Posted November 25, 2008 Share Posted November 25, 2008 I'm going to the store right now and when I get back I hope you all don't mind if I lock this thread. It's really serving no purpose. Of all the things that were said in here, my posts included, the one that really made the most sense was HCL's when he said "you make the mod and then you pick the cover person." I look at it like this in that we are fortunate to have an updated game and that there's still such an interest in improving and adding on to this game. Honestly, these new people should be thanking Kraw and the other people that made this mod instead of questioning why Griffey Junior is featured in the opening video of the mod.
