DetroitStyle Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 So I've been pretty frustrated with 2K this year and last. The only thing really keeping me playing is the modding which I was starting to lose interest in since I couldn't even play the game with all the bugs. I picked up MVP the other day and said, meh what the hell why not. Why not indeed.... I've been tinkering with it for a bit now, both vanilla and TC12. PHENOMENAL! I played a very little bit of MVP back in the day and remember downloading a few mods. I remember two things: TC94 (Took over one summer of mine) and Krawitham Radio (still the best soundtracks in a game). Anyway, although the game is clearly outdated, I've found a lot of fun to be had using it as a text-sim (i.e. OOTP or Baseball Mogul) with gameplay coming second. I've been simming tons of seasons (with vanilla MVP) and tried out the progression mod and it looks great! I got tired of all the budget issues, free agent problems, and stat issues with 2K so I'm pleasantly surprised to see the old dog looking much better! Lastly, if this doesn't turn out to be a honeymoon period with MVP I'd really like to get into modding for it. I'm going to spend most of the day tomorrow reading up on the FAQ and getting used to the different editors and tools. I'd also love to help with any new patches for the TC12 mod. So let me know if there are any interesting projects worth taking up. In the meantime this is me trying to mod MVP: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gordo Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 We really need a portrait updater, especially with the trade deadline coming up. I apparently got stupid about how to do it since last year. I do have some stock pics like the one below and wouldn't mind gathering more for you if that'll make it any easier. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kyleb Posted July 26, 2012 Share Posted July 26, 2012 The biggest projects would be the creation of Yankee Field, Target Field and Marlins Park. After that, I would put portraits for minor league players as the next biggest project. Audio files for teams could use a hand. Good to possibly have someone else on board!

Sure, I'll give it a try. I'll see if I can pull a small pack together and we'll see how it turns out... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I tried using the keyboard in Mvp once just to see how it was and I couldn't stand it. It is just so much easier with a controller. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
