NickySantoro Posted May 18, 2004 Share Posted May 18, 2004 anyone caught wind of one? I know of irc and two other websites where i can normally get it but deviance is a little behind. Im a laptop user as well and dont need to be carrying around a cd case so i would like to know if anyone knows of one. The older ones dont work because they negate the patch. Yes i OWN the game. lol thanks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

baseballfans Posted May 18, 2004 Share Posted May 18, 2004 Hey Use Alcohol the software is free, see if U like it first And in someway I am glad that their no new nocd because now people have a reason to buy the game instead of downloading the game and take away the $ needed to fund the game. These guy work hard to develop the game. And if anyone want the game to improve they need to hire smart guy and these cause $. The only way to do so is if the game sale are high. NFL madden is improving almost every year mainly because they are the best selling sport game in the market. Batting left handed I was able to hit a HR With Enique Wilson in the center field in boston against Curt Schiling in Fenway after the Batch haha. So too bad for those who don't own the game. U have to suffer for months to wait for some silly crack. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RsCamaro8 Posted May 19, 2004 Share Posted May 19, 2004 just play with your CD in... I have used no-cd patches before, but to me, its not that big of a deal when there isn't one out cause i HAVE THE LEGAL COPY. Now, i'll admit, i prefer playing without the CD in for various reason, but hey, you're the one at the disadvantage if you can't play with the lastest patch cause you don't own the game... if you do own it, there are other alternatives, but you can figure those out on your own... Bottom line is, people who own the game can wait patiently and play with their CD, people who don't own it, have to stick with version 1.1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

yankees1979 Posted May 19, 2004 Share Posted May 19, 2004 who cares if someone is asking about a no cd patch anyway. if you dont like it then do read the posts. thats just my opinion. by the way i have a legal copy and used the no-cd patch before and i prefer it. however since a new one is not available yet i dusted off the old cd and used it.

Why should it be shut down, we all know what that guy was up to, and I dont think anyone was very helpful. As for Alcohol, Not sure what is wrong with that program, I use it for all my games, I hate wearing out my CD Rom. Great program for the guys that buy all their games.

Agree.....Sometimes I think we get overly concerned about giving information to those that "may" have downloaded the game illegally. I may be naive but I'll bet over 90% of those that post here have legitimate copies of MVP 2004 but want the "no-cd" option strictly for convenience.....I know I get awfully tired of taking the cd in and out of the drive every time I want to play the game. So....I certainly am keeping my eyes and ears open and will download the no-cd program as soon as it is available. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bartw Posted May 19, 2004 Share Posted May 19, 2004 Yeah, I too buy a lot of games and use nocd patches often. Why ? Well, because I play in between work and study, so when I'm following some course (like right Japanese and Advanced 3ds max lessons) I can keep the folder open of the lessons that I'm taking. If I have to take the cd out for a few minutes of fun, the folders automatically update & dissapear. I find it annoying, and since I don't care for game music or movies, I like to use no cd patches. And as for funding EA: my uniforms are better than theirs anyway ;) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
yankees1979 Posted May 19, 2004 Share Posted May 19, 2004 and if someone did download it illegally i could care less. one reason is right now they cant play online. isn't that one of the big reasons we got this game? another reason, why SHOULD i care? i dont own EA or have stock in it. it's not going to hurt my pocketbook. anyone that says it will drive the price of games up has got to be joking. EA is a big business that makes lots of money and is hurt very little financially by any illegal downloads. another thing is, if those same people are so concerned about illegal use then why am i seeing players not in the mlbpa being put in the game by modders? doesn't that take money out of the players pockets too?

fuzzone Posted May 19, 2004 Share Posted May 19, 2004 you gentlemen are all correct. I just think posts like this ride the thin line of legitimacy/piracy. you just never know. but it's cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RsCamaro8 Posted May 19, 2004 Share Posted May 19, 2004 Bottom line... people who have the CD are enjoying patch 1.2 with their CDs in, and as far as I know, if you use Alcohol 120 or CD Clone to copy a CD, it MUST be the original, or the hidden safe-disc sector won't copy anyway!

I don't know about U guys but that statement hurt my feelings. Are u saying we modders are bunch of criminal that enjoy stealing money from the game we love so much? Again I think some of U will agree with my early post here. If You want the game to improve, EA got to see high sales. Baseball game is the one of the worst selling sport game. And if u want new game being develop such as Baseball streetball or HOF baseball legend etc.. This will only happen if there is a history of good baseball game sales. Why Highheat bankrupt well u guess it, sales didn't match what they paid for MLB and mlpa licenses. And it was a shame it was the best basball pc game in the market.

Guest Deznuts Posted May 19, 2004 Share Posted May 19, 2004 I can almost understand people wanting to pirate sports games. Once the season is over, the game is almost worthless. You have to buy the game every year to get the updated rosters and stuff. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
fuzzone Posted May 19, 2004 Share Posted May 19, 2004 i dont see eye to eye with yankees1979. if you paid for the game, you can do whatever you want to it. U can crack it, toss it around, burn it up in smoke. its your game, do as you wish. people who download the game plus get mods---well thats a little out there. EA made a great game, its just it was missing a couple of things. Some of us have the talent to change that around. im not really all that clear on your post about they losing money cuz we put barry bonds in the game or budweiser signs. i dont know who's losing money. EA didn't pay for the ads or rights to mcdonald logos, coke,pepsi...maybe i read it wrong. PLEASE DONT EVEN BOTHER explaining because im sure somewhere in it, you do have a point. point is, people always download games. it kills the industry and the nocd patch hurts the company more than helps it, i guarantee you that much. I guess we have the luxury of playing the game with the update and nocd, but look at all the people out there on (places not be mentioned) that are downloading games and movies like crazy. all in all, i agree with what everyone said. and remember... "It's in the Game!!!....and if it's not, teamFuzZ will put it in!" looOL Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But I have no problem as modder making ads for a stadiium. Actually I think we help them more than it hurt than. I mean is ADVERTISEMENT. The prodcut they want to be see by US so we can buy more BEERS, Cokes etc.... So in this case I don't think Modder should be linked to those people who crack the game.

Speaking legally, which is what piracy is about, Free advertisement is not legal or "allowed" nor is it a good argument to make about putting ads into a game without the express permission of the company in writing. In legal terms, it breaks copyright, and many games and modders have actually had court cases brought to them because of this. Most are settled out of court by the simple removal of namesakes and whatever, but its still against the law. Yankeefan has a point, because there really is no difference in adding a player who has legally expressed that they want no involvement in any game or anything else, without their direct permission, so adding Barry Bonds to the game is breaking the law, and adding advertisements to the game is also breaking the law. Anyway, I think some people just jump the gun too much with the "you're downloading the game, go out and buy it and stop stealing" nonsense. I own TONS of games, I use no-cd cracks for pretty much all of them, but i don't mention anything about them anywhere because i get sick and tired of seeing 10 people call someone a thief and cry and whine because THEY ASSUME someone is stealing.
