What rosters are you trying to import?

Some of the uniforms are in the "locked" slots. They only show up if you have a profile with the uniforms unlocked.

You need to unlock all of the uniforms. There are two ways: First, you can use the "Katie Roy" cheat: 1. Open up MVP Baseball. 2. Under the Main Menu > Rosters, Create a Player named "Katie Roy." 3. Save your roster and then save your profile. 4. Your dynasty and any other games you play will now have all the unlockable stuff. Alternatively, you could use a profile that has everything unlocked. You can get one here: http://www.mvpmods.com/index.php?app=downloads&showfile=1208

As always, a great review. Thanks for the kind words. It was great working with you and Dennis, and as he said in a PM, the images you provided were invaluable.

The only time I remember hearing about rain in the game was games played in Seattle, and even that was rare.

Had today off (Patriot's Day here in Massachusetts), so my wife and I went to see "Olympus Has Fallen". Before our movie, there was a preview for "42". I wanted to see it as soon as I saw the first trailer last month, but my wife had no interest in seeing "another baseball movie." When the preview was over, my wife looked at me and said, "That looks really good. We should see that." I explained to her that it was the movie that I had been talking about and she said that learning more about what Robinson had to go through when he made it to the majors seemed interesting. It looks like I'll get to see the movie after all and I won't have to see it alone. :)

File Name: Total Classics 1941 File Submitter: Jim825 File Submitted: 14 Apr 2013 File Category: Total Conversion Mods Version: 1.0   Total Classics 1941By Jim825 & dennisjames71 Special thanks Yankee4Life who provided music and images for the mod. During the 1941 baseball season, the New York Yankees won the 1941 pennant by 17 games over Boston, but the pennant race was overshadowed by the personal heroics of two superstars. New York's American League MVP Joe DiMaggio put together a record 56-game hitting streak, and Boston's Ted Williams batted .406. In the summer of 1941, Joe DiMaggio hit safely in a record 56 consecutive games.  DiMaggio, who had shown a predilection for hitting streaks since his minor league days, started his 1941 streak with a hit against the White Sox on May 15.  On July 2, a DiMaggio homer broke Wee Willie Keeler's 44-year-old major league hitting-streak record of 44.  And on July 17, his streak was ended at 56 by two terrific back-handed stops by Indians third baseman Ken Keltner. DiMaggio finished the season third in the American League in batting at .357, first in RBI with 125, second in doubles with 43, and fourth in home runs.  But his season was dwarfed -- statistically, at least -- by that of Williams, who led him in runs 135 to 122, homers 37 to 30, on-base average .551 to .440, and slugging average .735 to .643.  Williams also batted .406, the highest batting average in either league since Rogers Hornsby's .424 in 1924. At one point in June, Williams was hitting .436 but then began to fade.  On the final day of the season, he found himself at .3995 -- technically .400 by baseball scoring rules.  Nevertheless, Williams refused to play it safe and played both ends of a doubleheader.  He went 6-for-8 to finish the season with a .406 average. ------------------------------------------- The Total Classics 1941 mod brings you the sights and sounds of the 1941 baseball season.

I loved my Saitek P880 and used it for MVP2004 and MVP2005. The only reason I now use the wired XBox controller for PC is because I bought it for MLB2K9 (which I sold after 2 weeks). I liked the way that the XBox controller felt, so I kept using it.

Nope -- It was the message Ty sent Trues asking him to to take all of his MVP2005 tools off of MVPMods that caused the dat_importer_exporter to disappear.

How did you create your roster? Did you use the in-game editor? If so, then you can't create a .mbe file, because the in-game editor creates .SAV files and there is no way to convert a .SAV file to a .mbe file.

Ask 5 people and you will get 5 different answers. Search the forums and you will see what I mean. I initially used a Saitek P880 controller, because I had bought it for MVP2004 and it worked great. I then switched to an XBox 360 (designed for PC) wired controller when I bought MLB2K9. I sold MLB2K9 after about a week, but kept the controller and that's the one I've been using for MVP2005. With the Saitek, I had to make a few tweaks to get the sliding to work properly: http://www.mvpmods.com/index.php?showtopic=38841 With the XBox 360 controller, there was a bit more tweaking involved with getting the right configuration: http://www.mvpmods.com/index.php?showtopic=15434

Mike Z was last active in April 2011, so you probably won't see an answer from him. Perhaps someone else can help.

That's OK. I'm about 5 years into my TC1978 dynasty with the Yankees. I've played every game and am about 130 games into the season. I'm just about into the month of September. I WILL eventually finish the season.

You can never go wrong quoting from "Monty Python and the Holy Grail" . . . :)

The topic is now closed.

What's going on now?

I never patched past patch #2. That was the patch that fixed some stuttering issues on the graphics. Patches #3 & #5 were just roster updates. Patch #4 was also a roster update, but in addition, they changed the internal structure of a few roster files, which is why the 2006 version of MVPEdit had to be released.

I haven't seen piratesmvp2004 around here for a few years. He was the only person I knew that still created MVP2004 mods. I've used MVP2004 uniforms and faces in MVP2005, but never tried going the other way. MVP2005 faces definitely won't work in MVP2004 since they are a different format.

I just uploaded the WBC Caribe 2013 mod.

I was a teenager in the mid to late-70's, and I vividly remember everything that was discussed in the book -- Reggie Jackson and the Yankees, the power outage and riots in New York, the Son of Sam serial killer, etc. so I had a lot of flashbacks while reading the book.

tsar - #1 should be "Luckiest Man: The Life and Death of Lou Gehrig". It's a great book -- I read it a few years ago. A friend of mine, who moved just outside of Cooperstown last year, let me borrow "The Echoing Green" by Joshua Prager. It's the story of the New York Giants winning the 1951 National League pennant by using a telescope in the office above the outfield wall to steal signals and send them to the dugout. As a Yankees fan, and a child of the 70's, I really enjoyed "The Bronx is Burning" by Jonathan Mahler and "The Bronx Zoo" by Sparky Lyle.

You could always disable your Anti-Virus software when you want to play the game.

This thread is also going nowhere, so it too is being closed. PLEASE stop this behavior.

Guys - It's time to move on. I'm closing this thread and you can open your own separate threads if you want to discuss your rosters.
