EASPORTSGUY Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 Which ones shouldn't I use? I've been installing all the downloads as they come out. Does it have something to do with the Portrait being there and the player isn't? Does this cause the crash? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HypnoxXx Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 Yes, I realize how big of a dork I am, zipping up the .mbe file instead of the .dat files. I apologize. I don't know why it would cause the game to crash, though, if you export the dat files properly AND DL'ed the appropriate version based on your cyberface needs...My game did not crash upon export. Thank goodness I had the wits about me to say "beta" lol... Kraw, want to PM me your IM handle or an email addy so we can discuss how to eliminate the hidden fakes in the FA list? bby, my Fresno was full, and since I'm not making players directly into AA right now, I'm waiting on making those guys (or if those veterans get the pink slip and I have to plug new CAPs in.)

RandomHero Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 Jason Grimsley should not be on the O's major league roster, he will be out the entire season. Larry Bigbie should not be batting #2 in the lineup, he'll bat in the 8 spot vs. the AL and 7 spot vs. the NL. Mora will bat 2nd, Tejada 3rd, and Sosa 4th. Palmeiro will hit in the 6 spot vs. LHP and the 5 spot vs. RHP. Jay Gibbons will be the 1B and Raffy Palmeiro the DH. Rick Bauer will be the likely 5th starter and Bruce Chen one of the long relievers. John Parrish's 1st Position should be RP not SP. Jay Gibbons' 1st Position should be 1B not RF. David Newhan's 1st Position should be 3B. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
D.M.Z. Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 Great work on the roster llcmac and HypnoxXx. You guys have done an outstanding job organizing all of the information that you receive. Here are a few things I have noticed and a few links to lists that may help you with player movement and player whereabouts. Once again thanks for your efforts. You may want to check the players imported from last years Total Minors. Cory Stewart listed as 8322. His 2005 ID is 2448. Hory has the Pirates numbers listed in the 8500’s for those not assigned EA id’s. I noticed that some imported players have correct id’s but Stewart is one that I remember had last years designated id. Also, very minor, some of the imported players year by year lahman statistics associated teams are off. Keith Osik, for example, played for the orioles in 2004 and Milwaukee in 2003. his stats show Oakland for both years. When I went through the imported players for the roster template, I changed several players who were wrong with the imported lahman stats. I noticed that players who at one time played for Milwaukee or Baltimore were given Oakland as the team they played for. Again, nothing major, just wanted to point it out. Here are some things I noticed for the Pirates. Rich Thompson to the minor leagues. (not sure what level yet AAA or AA) Freddy Sanchez to mlb level (primarily SS back-up to Jack Wilson) Mike Crudale no longer in Pirates Organization (free agent) Check the BA link below. Willis Roberts no longer in Pirates Organization (free agent) Nelson Figueroa no longer in Pirates Organization (free agent) Brian Mallatte ID is 1822 Here is a link on Baseball Americas website that contains a list of 6 year minor league free agents for players like Mike Crudale (Pirates), Hector Almonte (Braves), who opted for free agency instead of staying with their 2004 team. Some may have resigned with their 2004 team but I noticed that there are players in the roster that are in AAA and AA that are no longer affiliated with their 2004 organization. http://www.baseballamerica.com/today/news/041028falist.html Here is a nice reference site for reliable current roster transactions: http://www.rotoworld.com/content/transactions.asp?sport=MLB this site uses several news media sources, primarily local and national newspapers and is usually updated when the transactions happen. This site also give a short summary on the main mlb page about the players selected. Once again thanks guys for your great work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HypnoxXx Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 ALSO...I just heard for some reason the Bonds cyberface is listed as 002 rather than 029 in the beta....you will have to manually change this in mvpedit if you have dl'ed the normal version and are utilizing terminator korea's cyberfaces Thanks for your help DMZ, your spreadsheet really helped get the ball rolling for imports...About that Osik stats error---there is a glitch in MVPEdit...A lot of players will not have the correct team listed for their stats (and it's always Oakland that gets put there instead)...I tried correcting it as much as I could, but I'm sure there are still several players with team errors in their career stats. And for some reason, I can never get any of these ROTOWORLD links. They just wont load for me... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
GamerPyle Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 what portraits do you have installed This is the very reason why you shouldnt use custom portraits id numbers in the roster and leave it up to the user. Just a thought that might relieve alot of headache for you guys. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You guys are definately welcome. i plan on going with your set for my dynasty so any way i can help just let me know. i'm not much for giving attributes to players but i follow player movements, ID's, appearances etc. i'll start looking through those players Oak, Mil, Bal players if you are interested in correcting them. i'll post the players who's stats are mixed on this thread. just let me know if you are interested.

Just a thought that might relieve alot of headache for you guys. I doubt that has anything to do with portraits installed. It would be a shame if this roster set didn't follow the player id list of tony3/dmz and the custom id list we set up, going through and changing portrait ids is a pain in the butt.

cubby Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 llmac or hypo, what happens if I want to use another Bonds face or if I have the giants total portraits, will that work with your roster? Thanks for all of your great work! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks for all of your great work! Make sure you use the correct face # using any of Hory's Portrait set will work GREAT easportsguy has installed pretty much every portrait pack released from everyone. Some of them MIGHT not be compressed. All of Hory's I have downloaded are 100% in the correct format Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HypnoxXx Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 For the LAST time... Portraits do NOT cause crashes. If you dont have a portrait installed and we have given a player its audio/photo ID, it will give you the black outline portrait. That's it. The ONLY thing that crashes a game is a bad FACE ID, and I just said that Bonds was incorrectly labeled as "002" instead of terminator korea's "029". That's what is causing crashes with Beta--you have to change Bonds FACE to 029. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

smart88 Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 Portraits do NOT cause crashes Actually they do. Try making a .fsh file with mvpedit 2004 and import without compressing. Then click on the player, for me it crashes. EDIT: Kraw beat me to it :o Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HypnoxXx Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 Wait--who is releasing uncompressed portraits? I just assumed all portrait sets were all ready to go upon d/l. And I haven't had any crashing problems. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krawhitham Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 some of the early ones posted on the board were non compressed, Easportsguy PM me saying he has install most all protrait sets. So I assume he installed some of the ones that were first posted on MVPmods that were not compressed. I think now all of them have be re-released with compressed portraits Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bbythepier Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 Sounds like some freelance "photographers" are having the crashes. No problems here except some rosters short players as previously posted. Hyp, I knew a smart man like you had a plan for Fresno. I'm feeling lucky today, so I'll push my luck... Maybe you take a look at my sig and tick down Lowry's change to a circle, w/ the movement 2-8, just like Moyer (just not as effective). Have I said you've done a great job! Have I said good luck with your Comedy CD! :wink: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

HypnoxXx Posted March 31, 2005 Share Posted March 31, 2005 You crack me up bby; changes have been made to Lowry's spherical change... I guess there was a reason I decided I'd only DL Hory's portraits... Here is what I'm on the look out for, as far as corrections... Appearance: Wrong face/face color? Wrong race? Positions: Wrong position? Need to flip flop 1st and 2nd positions? Status: Player on the wrong team? A free agent still listed with his old team? (If a AAA guy I put on there or made is no longer with the team, please give me a suggestion on who to make to take his place, as I need to keep AAA 100% real) Dupes: Any doubles? Audio/Photo ID: Any errors? PLEASE lemme know. I'm keeping my eyes peeled on my sites for depth charts etc. CBSSportsline is updating their depths everyday, which was how I got the Majors looking a lot like opening day already.
