DarkEnigma510 Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 I am going to look at this this weekend... But how do you compress the files again? Using EAGraphix or some other utility?? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

packmanuk4 Posted March 4, 2005 Author Share Posted March 4, 2005 I used a program called biggui to put the file back together. I tried to shorten just the mlb schedule and it worked fine during the season but froze soon after a 1 game mlb playoff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkEnigma510 Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 Its weird because in 2004 it never crashed when I changed the schedule. I know it was annoying if you left the minor league schedule longer than the revised shortened MLB schedule though. It was funny because you would have to sim until thr end of August and then return to an earlier date to play your MLB playoff games. Maybe that is what is causing a crash in 2005. No promises on timing (or even if I can figure it all out) since I work full time and travel to boot but it would be cool if I could figure this out.

UncleMo Posted March 4, 2005 Share Posted March 4, 2005 take your time-i work full time too. take your time but goodness gracious you must be successful at this.

jeb68 Posted March 5, 2005 Share Posted March 5, 2005 Sorry guys. I've tried almost every combination imaginable but the game cannot get past a "1 game playoff" screen that locks the game up at the end of the season. Like I said before, it may be a bug within the game where even the regular schedule locks up when there is a 1 game playoff. If someone tests this out and it is not true, I will keep working. If I don't hear anything, it's back to ESPN. All you need to do is sim a season until you get a 1 game MLB playoff. If you cannot get past this then there is a bug and we are out of luck. Come on guys, test it out and let me know. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DarkEnigma510 Posted March 5, 2005 Share Posted March 5, 2005 Bad news...I tried this myself tonight and am getting the same one game playoff problem. I don't understand it really since it worked perfectly in mvp2004. If anyone reading this understands why this issue might be occuring, please let me know.

krawhitham Posted March 5, 2005 Share Posted March 5, 2005 have you guys tried since the update? it changed the EXE and schedule.big Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
packmanuk4 Posted March 5, 2005 Author Share Posted March 5, 2005 I tried a sim with the original files and got to the 1 game playoff and had no problems so its not a game bug. I would try a shortened mod with the new patched files but have an xbox so unless someone sends me the new updated schedule files can't so anything.

packmanuk4 Posted March 5, 2005 Author Share Posted March 5, 2005 I tried removing the first few months of the season schedule and expected to have my first game in July. However the game still gave me games in April but finished the season earlier instead even though my datafile had games at the end of the year and not at the start. So it must reset itself. I had a 1 game playoff and freeze. Why don't ea put the option of shorter seasons into the game to start with like sega ? Not everyone has the time for full seasons.

DarkEnigma510 Posted March 5, 2005 Share Posted March 5, 2005 This is the same problem I was having...the game freezes when you get to a one game playoff. Not sure why this would cause a problem since I don't think it did in 2004. I am not a programmer so I can't guess why modding the tex files should cause a problem.

UncleMo Posted March 5, 2005 Share Posted March 5, 2005 before either of you quit and give up, maybe escalate it to trues or whoever runs this site. i just don't want either of you 2 to quit. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DarkEnigma510 Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 Sorry, Uncle Mo. I think this is a coding problem that can't easily be fixed. My suggestion: 1) The schedules can be altered but not shortened. So you can start a dynasty and set up any schedule you want (i.e. a 20 game tournament). However, you'd have to then play "playoff" games either in exhibition mode.....or alternative go in an alter the schedules accordingly for the games afterward to set up playoffs. At least this laternative lets you run a short tournament and keep the stats. 2) MVP2004's schedules can be modded without crashes as far as I know if you don't mind playing the old game.
