Clear the pitching rotation and re-do it.

Great upgrade!! Do you think you have time for a Kyle Kendrick upgrade??

I wouldn't doubt it. SP1 pitcher slots were fixed. A phantom player was eliminated. So that's probably the next logical culprit. PITA!

Although a balanced (no errors in mvpedit) roster was worked out last night, I was getting hard crashes, so I'm going to take a different tactic and import all of the MLB and AAA teams into a known working roster set. One of the other problems is that most of the minor league team roster pages list 27-30 players and it can be hard to know which to keep, though we've largely been using the stats pages to determine that. The bottom line is that I'd like to put out a Phase 1 roster (MLB/AAA) within the next day.

I thought I learned it from you in an ancient post, Jim. :shok:

Your batting assignments for the #1 pitchers could be the culprit. Try going into the roster.dat file and modifying all of the SP1 pitchers' batting assignments for vs. the NL. What you do is open it in WordPad. It looks something like this: 000000017,0 00b87d5f5,1 0fff0da1f,2 SP1,3 -1,4 SP1,5 9,6 SP1,7 -1,8 SP1,9 9,; What happens is that sometimes people move the #1 pitcher out of the slot instead of putting someone there or simply clearing the rotation, it assigns a (-1) as if it is for an AL batting order. You correct this while in WordPad; select the "replace" command and input SP1,5 -1. Replace it with SP1,5 9. Simply do the same for the SP1,9 slot. Make sure all of your commas and spaces are the same.

It's gonna be MLB/AAA for now.

It would be helpful to have jersey number corrections and other cosmetics (pant lengths for given players, facial hair/hair color matching up with portraits, etc.) and maybe even batting stances/swings and pitchers' deliveries after they're released.

I think I accomplished this a while ago by minimizing the attributes so low that it literally didn't show on the pitch selection. However, when I tried to do a pitch out, the game crashed. Seems that it relies on that pitch.

Update: MLB & AAA teams are done. Just a matter of balancing out the lower minor league teams (though they will be inaccurate), finishing out stats, final roster moves and making sure we get no crashes.

Wow....Tru... that was quick! Thanks much.

If people are submitting responses via the "support topic" for uploads, its not showing up on the front page (index page, splash page or whatever you call it) as I assume this was flooding the existing sections for MVP and 2K. So how about a separate section?

Getting close here guys..... finishing up the NL West. Most every AAA team will have 24/25 guys definitely listed on the AAA rosters and utilizing recent box scores for fairly accurate batting orders. Pitch types for pure minor league pitchers are next to impossible to find, however. When I've had the time I've exported the AAA and MLB teams and scrimmed them to check for crashing. The AA and Single A teams will have enough bodies so that hopefully you won't experience crashes because of injuries/suspensions. They won't be accurate, but should be filled enough.

Not yet what?

Oh wow....so Target will be playable without those awful HHH Dome cameras?? It's looking amazing!

Nope.....no rushing happening... just takes a little more with 2 guys doing it. We're delving into the NL West at this point. Would be surprised if we don't get something out this week.

We're coming around the bend on the NL Central. Lots of teams in disarray. Doubtful that AAA guys will get batting or pitching facelifts this time around. We just wanna get the right guys to the relatively right places. MiLB doesn't help when they're listing 28-29 players on their rosters. Still facing the chore of getting the AA and A teams balanced somewhat as well, not to mention getting the FA pool down to something reasonable.

Dude...we got to get you out more often!

I soldered a flour sifter to the top of my PC screen and jiggle the handle every once in a while. It's a pretty close simulation.

PM the roster files (the 19 .dat files) zipped up to me or the .mbe from MVPedit if you know how to do that and let me see if I can re-create the problem. Whatever you PM will have to be zipped.

What your OS? They "come back" to the NL when?
