Wanted to let everyone know that there will be 2 additional rosters sets available to accompany the MVP 14 TC mod!

*A CPU v CPU set that reflects the set available within the mod

*A set reflecting season ending injuries (as of 9/16/14) with line-ups generally in agreement with current lineups/rotations

I'm certain I am doing something wrong but when I download the mod it finishes very quickly and only contains rosters as opposed to an "explode me" file in the past.

Please do not misinterpret my post as expecting more or being ungrateful. Just want to make sure I'm doing it right.

As an aside, the modders on here like Dennis and Daflyboys are like Forrest Gump in boot camp - $&@"" geniuses. Thank you for all the work.

You didn't read Dennis' installations instructions very carefully. He specifically says the following:

If you click the green "Download" button, that contains a copy of daflyboys' roster pack.

Scroll all the way to the bottom of the MVP14 mod page and click on one of links listed there to get the full 1.3 Gigabit MVP14 file.

The A's stadium shows red and green error textures when I play it.

Checked behind you on that and it is the day stadium that has a missing texture. So I'll confirm that. In the meantime, you can bring in a stadium from MVP 12 or 13 until it can get patched.

Which brings me to a request..... guys, when indicating concerns, please be specific in what you are finding.

Ok cool. I thought it was just me and maybe unzipped the files to the wrong directory.

Well if someone else can verify, that would help. I know DJ takes great pride in his stadium upgrades.

Also, Steve Pearce's face doesn't appear correct. I know Rising Son did a great one of him.

Hey guys, could you possibly post a screenshot of the Athletics Stadium with the green/red missing textures? I just tried both the day & night versions and panned around with the replay camera and couldn't find an error. If you could post a screenshot, I'll be glad to look into that for you.

I did what you said and replaced the stadium with MVP 12 or 13 and worked. Sometimes they would crash to the desktop after loading.

I should have screenshot the first time because now I am not having that problem anymore.

This thing has me stumped. I have tried to install this on a Vista PC desktop where all my other season mods are and this particular mod refuses to cooperate. Why, I don't know but I am not giving up.

I did have a clean install of the game like you always need for any season mod. That was fine. And I extracted the DATA folder to that directory and it overwrote everything in the default DATA folder. That was fine.

I ran the game in administrator mode like I do the other mods and it started up fine. I pick my teams, my uniforms, my lineups and the stadium. When I click to start the game the bar starts to load and then it crashes to the desktop.

Now I am going to try to install this on my XP laptop. Maybe I will have a different result. I'm not quitting.

I'm having the same issue as Y4L, but I'll admit I only had time to try a few times last night before I gave up. I've been trying to play as the Twins at Target Field, and I'm having the same CTD issue -- I tried different away teams, different uniforms, and both the Day and Night stadiums, and I get the same "MVP2005.exe has stopped working" each time.

I've tried two installs over a clean install, although I noticed from Y4L's post that I wasn't running it in compatibility mode (I'm running on 7). One additional thing I noticed is that the splash when starting up the game is still the Roger Clemens Astros picture from the initial install; is this indicative of doing something wrong?

(And this goes without saying, but your efforts are IMMENSELY appreciated.)

Arizona´s Chris Owings is announced as Shelby Miller,when he gets to the plate or makes a play.

That's purely an audio update that would be needed. I'm sure there are multiple players like this. We didn't have the audio updates that we had in the past, but we are looking for guys to learn how to do that and contribute.

Same here. It looks perfectly fine now. I'm wondering if it's some sort of function of running this thing on later operating systems and/or more updated drivers. I found in the past that older drivers actually worked better with the game for my ATI cared. Running an NVIDIA card now. Go figure.

I think you know my motto: "Vista makes me Pissed-a!". Maybe MVP needs running from a folder on the desktop like W7? Maybe Vista needs to be skipped like a stone across a lake!!

Anyone else noticed,the "missed swing replay" doesn´t show up,even if its enabled in the game menu?

I'm not sure that it's supposed to show after every missed 3rd strike, but dunno.... I usually have it off. I did see it at the end of an inning, but that could've been the usual end of inning replay.

Do you have to install the patches for MVP 2005 like before or just a clean install?

If you play online, I'm remembering that installing official patch 3 was sort of necessary. Otherwise, Dennis is correct.

Again, this is what has me scratching my head. None of my season mods are running from a folder on the desktop. Not one. When I want to play TC '78 or "69 for example I go right to the directory and start it from there. Something's different here.

This may not be anything but do you think that because this mod did not come with an installer it had something to do with it? Maybe not.

Well, I don't know what the root for this is, but there is an "original" install method, such as what we had with MVP 12 that upgrades the original EA 2005 install (and thus you get an MVP2005 folder created in "my documents". But, since MVP 08 came out with it's installer, it seemed to alter something, and thus created an "EAmods08" folder in "my documents". So I don't know if that has an effect on stability for some people. The MVP 14 seems to be a build or at least utilizes files from this latter folder, which is not changeable.

Here's an update. I installed this mod on my XP laptop and I was able to get in it and I played a game. Problem solved. So I will just play this mod on the laptop now.

I still don't get why this mod doesn't run and every single other one does. But I found a work around for it and that is all that matters.

The green / red textures issue can also be caused if there is not enough memory at run-time to load all of the pieces of the stadium. Depending upon what is running in the background (antivirus software, other open applications, etc.), it could reduce the amount of available memory. This could cause intermittent issues with the stadium. I would suggest that you make sure all other applications are closed when you run the game.
