Check the first couple of posts from this thread:

Cyberfaces are customized. Anything out of the default faces of 901-915 aren't going to show properly as is and will actually cause your game to crash. Therefore, assigning generic/default faces will help stabilize your game, but of course assigned these faces will take time. Probably your better bet is to take the time and download all of the latest faces (either in face packs or in individual downloads) and install them. Overall that would probably take less time. Additionally, a new roster (at least from me) for MLB level rosters for opening day will be out soon enough. I would just wait on that as it will have more accurate rosters.

Good idea, Jim. Also regarding the portraits, if you want to make it simplified, you can use either "1" as the portrait number globally, or you can use the team portraits I put out last year or so and assign the proper team numbers/portrait. You wont have faces, but you won't have the wrong faces either

Thanks wink...but we need a GOOD reason as to why you did this!

He looks a bit steroid-ridden.

Yes. The 8 and under crowd would go nuts.

I think this whole thing is a non-story that had to fill a web page. Let me know when a story about the volume of farts and how it plays into the unwritten rules surfaces.

You guys do know we have a Windows 10 thread, eh? People over there will be looking for answers (and future members). Maybe put your responses in there.

Not gonna read the story, but let's face it, grown men at work don't want to spend their entire day with kids hanging around (and personally, this take your pet to work shit needs to stop). These are adult men who, well, let's be blunt, are butt naked sometimes in the locker room and want to use certain language, tell jokes and say stories that maybe they feel uncomfortable saying around a kid. It's just common sense. Having him there at times I think most could deal with....but every day..... constantly? Nuh uh.

Some of The Show ratings have always been suspect. However, speed is arbitrary without real data to figure it out. And you can't just go by stolen bases. Hard to know.

Why "should" it be?

Extremely. Something happened there. He's currently at 92 in the rosters I've released. Go into attrib.dat (where the roster files are loaded). Find Correa. Adjust attribute no. 22 (22 playerattrib_speed). Make it 92 or whatever you think it should be.

Harper and Papelbon should continue to work on their dugout celebration choreography.

The manner in which dennis helps everyone blows my mind!

There's an entire Windows 10 thread.

In retrospect, I actually have no problem with a bat flip and I'm sure some of my commentary is mired in how much I despise Harper. I've actually said in the past that I don't understand why batters get vilified for flipping a bat of watching their HR leave the park, while a pitcher can shoot a make believe arrow in the arrow and nothing is said. I just don't want this to get out of control like the NBA or NFL where everything has to involve a celebration (like a first down or a tackle or a dunk) and/or some hip hop dance (oh, there it is).

I disagree about the "need" for separation. Harper knows he's good and he has a ton of years ahead of him. So he'd have plenty of moments where he can do his showboatin', hot doggin' crap....he has a vested interest. I'm sure there are plenty of players who have zero affiliation with him and what he's saying.

Updating to 10 would not be the solution as there are numerous people having more trouble with 10 v 8 v 7. Also, W10 still has plenty of bugs and if one works from home on their PC, many companies do not yet support 10. Being free doesn't necessarily make it preferable at this stage. I have tried it and I do like 10 for other reasons already stated around this site, but for older games, it seems less than compatible right now.

I'm against hipping. I'm against hopping. I'm against Harper.

You just responded to this in another thread and then started a new thread?

Why would I be worried? Don't get you saying that. Yes, I know there is slang in every profession. I've been around... I get it all. I just think Harper isn't going to get his point across talking like some hipster doofus in my opinion.

But "pimp it" isn't a term used by the general public in reference to baseball, so the general public wouldn't get that at all. It only makes it sound like baseball is stepping into the hip hop attitude/presentation that the NBA fell into. So maybe it's "office talk" amongst the players, but everyday, ordinary people wouldn't relate. But it's going to go the direction it's going to go no matter what we say. So, I guess we'll see what trend prevails and then we can have the same discussion in 5-7 years about the state of baseball and how much it's enhanced or how much it's dumbed-down.

Well first off, after watching Bryce Harper from a distance for these last few years, I consider him a big douchebag. Again, you know how appearances can be. Look, no one is doubting his skill. But what he is promoting can lead to all kinds of problems. What happens when a bat flip hits a catcher? What happens when a player doesn't like how the pitcher is staring him down. What happens when one of the IF's dislikes how a player is jawing at them or his pitcher when he's circling the bases? I think what Harper is promoting can set up all kinds of problems. Additionally, it then sets a bad precedent for the lower levels and especially the kids. I think that Harper is promoting this largely because he wants to act this way more openly without getting fined or further demonized by his peers. Unleash Harper, and how many more of his teammates and opponents will want to choke him out? Sorry, but I can't take a guy seriously who acts the way he does with the media and carries himself the way he does about this point. And I especially can't take him seriously when trying to make his point by using the word "pimp" 3 times in the same paragraph! I'm just not ready for Bryce Harper to lead the way.
