​You can find it on eBay pretty cheap: http://www.ebay.com/sch/i.html?_odkw=triple+play+baseball&_from=R40&_osacat=0&_from=R40&_trksid=p2045573.m570.l1313.TR1.TRC0.A0.H0.Xtriple+play+baseball+pc.TRS0&_nkw=triple+play+baseball+pc&_sacat=0

​AlexTony, a founding Total Classics modder, contacted me recently about being unable to run MVP2005 on his new Windows 7 PC that had replaced his old Windows XP PC that had died. He was getting the same error message and when we dug around, we found that DX11 was installed in his version of Windows 7. My old Windows 7 laptop has DX9 on it, so I can run MVP2005 on it with no problem. I found him a download link for DX9 and he tried installing it, but that didn't seem to solve the problem. If I recall, I think that the installation itself might have failed whenever he tried to run it. I'll have to have him look at his refresh rate and screen resolutions.

Please do not bump your posts to get them to the top of the list.  That is against site rules.  If someone has an answer for you they will post a response.  Exactly what do you need help with?

Looks great!

It's all set and should be visible.

Disk 2 is used for installation, however, it is the one you need when you actually play the game.

Welcome to MVPMods!  MVP 2005 is not available via digital download.  You will have to buy the discs.  As you can see, it is a bit pricey for a 10 year old game, but that just shows that people are still playing it due to sites like ours.  Once you get the game and install it, you will want to install one of the patches that EA Sports made available for the game.  They are available in our Downloads section.  EA Sports released 5 patches (each patch contains all the changes in the previous patches).  I myself only upgraded to the 3rd patch.  The later two were mainly roster upgrades. Once you patch your game, you can download and install one or more of the great mods here.  For modern gameplay, you will probably want the MVP14 conversion mod.  That will update everything to 2014.  There are also some 2015 files available (rosters, faces, etc.).  You would need to install these separately until the MVP15 mod is released later this season. If you have questions, feel free to browse the forums and ask questions.  We were all new here once.

Those look great

You can also find it periodically on eBay.

The general policy is not to announce release dates.  That way if things get delayed or life gets in the way you don't have people getting anxious about it being late.

The site is evolving to be a place that caters to all baseball gamers, not just those who play MVP and Mlb2K.  We've had some High Heat and The Show mods for a while and hope to attract people who will upload mods for other games as well.  Having a separate section on the front page for each game isn't really feasible based upon this new vision.

​It looks like it's PHP code.  Something got messed up when the Total Classics section was setup.

No problem.  Glad to help.

You can find the Total Installer Thingy here:  http://www.mvpmods.com/files/file/6581-total-installer-thingy/  

Just finished reading through them. Good job.

​ Every player in the game has a cyberface ID assigned to him.  That's how players can have different faces.  Each face ID corresponds to a particular image file embedded in the MVP Baseball 2005\data\models.big file.  When you start the game and go through the steps to select your teams, select the uniforms, select the stadium and go to play, the game looks at the rosters on each team, and checks to make sure each player's assigned face ID has an image file in the models.big file.  If it can't find the image file in the models.big file, the game crashes. As MVP2005 was modded over the years and new players were added, new face IDs had to be created and new face image files created and added to the models.big file.  It's possible that some of the face IDs assigned to players in the MVP15 rosters do not have the corresponding face image file in the models.big file.  That might explain your crashes.  I have not used MVP14 or the MVP15 rosters too much, so hopefully some of the guys (kyleb, daflyboys, etc.) who are more familiar with these mods can provide more info or correct me if I've misspoken here.

I don't believe that you are doing anything wrong.  The mini games may not work in some of the Total Classics mods since some of the players it is expecting have been removed.

It sounds like it is a cyberface mismatch, or more likely a missing cyberface.  You should probably check the forums to see if there are any cyberface mods you need to install.

Did you install MVP14 first or did you just install the MVP15 rosters on top of an "out of the box" version of the game?

There never really was an "ask dumb noob questions here" section.  The typical answer is "Did you search the forums (using the Search button at the the top of the page) to see if your question has already been answered?".  The game has been around for 10 years and this site has been around longer than that, so just about any question you can think of has been asked before (and often asked mulitple times).  Searching on your own before asking is usually your best bet. That being said, here are some suggested forums to look at: http://www.mvpmods.com/forum/20-mvp-baseball-2005/ http://www.mvpmods.com/forum/28-support/ And here is a good thread to get started, although, it is 7 years old,  so some of the links in it may no longer work:   

Trues is in the process of updating / reorganizing the website, so some things may not work right now.

I couldn't find Granny Smith apples at the grocery store tonight. It's A-Rod's fault!!

I have an 11 year-old 3.0 GHz Windows XP PC with a 7 year-old AGP video card that I play the game on and it runs fine for me.
