LetsGoOakland Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 Can someone change: Anaheim Angels to Los Angeles Angels ANA --> LAA LA ---> LAD Yeah, I hate it, too, but that's life. I do hope Anaheim win their court case against Arte Moron-o. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaloFan Posted March 7, 2005 Share Posted March 7, 2005 The Washington Senators were "officially" the Washington Nationals from 1905-1955. The fans never accepted the name change, and referred to them as the Senators. Just because it's the "official" name doesn't mean you or anyone else has to accept it as such. It's a dumb name, it's an insult to 3.5 million people, and it's a lie. Don't accept the lie, accept the reality that the team plays in Anaheim, and not Los Angeles. Anaheim is how the name should be, and while ESPN, Sportsline, and the AP are too gutless to stand up to it, EA actually had the guts to. (Or they just didn't feel like changing it at the last minute, whatever) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LetsGoOakland Posted March 7, 2005 Author Share Posted March 7, 2005 I agree with you on that one. I agree with you so much, I had written a letter to the Anaheim City Council, which I posted on here, so do not think for a second that I am accepting it.

KerryW Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 Psssh..The Angels deserve to be ridiculed for selling out as they did...That entire franchise is now a complete joke. I'd definately use the mod if it became available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tolcou15 Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 hmm did pepople complain this much when the angels first changed from los angeles to california, or then from california to anaheim? and did people complain when the los angeles rams played in anaheim?

Hory Posted March 16, 2005 Share Posted March 16, 2005 No. NO. No. Please no-one make this mod. And no way should the dodgers have to change from LA to LAD because of this idiocy. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LetsGoOakland Posted March 17, 2005 Author Share Posted March 17, 2005 Hory, sorry man, that's what they are called now. And I for one want to keep my game as realistic as I can. If Oakland moved to San Jose, I would use the mod. If you don't want it, don't use it. By the way, excellent job with your portraits. Keep up the good work.

LetsGoOakland Posted March 17, 2005 Author Share Posted March 17, 2005 To get Anaheim changed to Los Angeles; ANA --> LAA LA --> LAD; Correct? If so, I will send you my up-to-an hour-ago roster sets. What's your email? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krawhitham Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 sent you a test file Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LetsGoOakland Posted March 17, 2005 Author Share Posted March 17, 2005 It worked. However, I will maintain it as a separate file from my original rosters since some people do not like that change. I suppose I could offer both in the next release. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
krawhitham Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 all you have to do is release those three roster files and the loc files and call it a ANA->LAA mod. and tell them that if they use an updated version of your roster they need to make sure they recopy the 3 files from the ANA-<LAA mod each time they upgrade the roster Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HaloFan Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 hmm did pepople complain this much when the angels first changed from los angeles to california, or then from california to anaheim? and did people complain when the los angeles rams played in anaheim? Do you like being lied to on a daily basis? That's what this new name is, it's a LIE. This mod, sadly, feeds into that lie, and actually feeds another lie; that this name change is acceptable. This name should not be accepted by anyone who respects the intregity of the game. They weren't lying when they changed from LA to California, because one, they were LEAVING Los Angeles, and two, they were still playing in California. When they changed again, once again, no lie, they play in Anaheim. There was some resistance to the name, but nowhere near the level this latest change has reached. Since there are five California teams, that name had seemed to run it's course, and a closer tie to the place they actually play in was the way to go. And I've talked about the Rams before. Where are they now? The LA name FAILED in Anaheim once, and it will fail again. This is why people are upset, because just like the Rams, the Angels will soon be gone. We don't want LA in Orange County! We won't accept that crap down here, and for someone like Moreno to force it down our throats, then turn around and start threatening to move the team, what do you expect?

deacs Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 Ok, since they play in Anaheim, they should be forced to be known as the Anaheim Angels or else they're lying, right? Sounds good. No team can take the name of a city unless it plays in that city ... here's a few other pro sports teams that must be renamed: Orchard Park Bills, East Rutherford Giants, East Rutherford Jets, Irving Cowboys, Auburn Hills Pistons, Uniondale Islanders, Sunrise Panthers, Raleigh Hurricanes and Glendale Coyotes. Sound good? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
polarisslbm Posted March 17, 2005 Share Posted March 17, 2005 While I think it is a stupid name, it does have a bit of a precedent in sports. New York Jets/Giants, for example, play in New Jersey. The Minnesota hockey franchise plays in Bloomington. The Texas Rangers play in Arlington. The Detroit Lions used to play in Pontiac, the Detroit Pistons place in Auburn Hills. The difference here is that, while Anaheim is technically a suburb, it is large enough to be recognizable. Oakland is technically a suburb of San Francisco (I think, but San Jose is a suburb) but is large enough to be recognizable. And the original Los Angeles Angels actually played in Los Angeles (See : Wrigley Field LA). They also actually played in California. But this is going the opposite way, really. Like, say, if a team played in downtown Manhatten and called themselves the New Jersey Jaguars or something. This is unrelated, but while we were on the subject of mods and stadium names, I would like a mod that 'fixses' all the stadium names to their proper names. Comiskey Park, Ballpark Of Arlington, Jack Murphy Stadium, Riverfront Stadium, Anaheim Stadium, and so on... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LetsGoOakland Posted March 17, 2005 Author Share Posted March 17, 2005 Oakland and San Jose are not suburbs of San Francisco. Daly City, Burlingame, those are suburbs of San Francisco. Smaller cities are suburbs of Oakland or San Jose. I am from Danville, which is an Oakland suburb. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
