I think the bottom line is that the radical side of ANYTHING is just bad news. There are people today who are contending that they are doing the work of Jesus Christ, but they run their churches with a cult-like appeal and just cause all kinds of havoc. In essence, anyone or group acting in this fashion aren't truly keeping to the faith as it was intended. Man can really screw things up when we want to.

Oscar...are you going to update the ID thread? Might be best to keep all of the numbers straight in there, no?

Windows 8 was built for touch screen computers. The lack of the Start button is primarily why (yes, I know you can install something that makes your W8 behave/look more like W7....but then what's the point?). But also the shifting around of various shortcuts, the resting your mouse in the upper right corner to access other commands/fields..... just don't like the layout. Different strokes. However, this W10 news about invading your privacy if even some true is really underhanded by M$..... and you gotta figure some suit came up with this idea and was applauded. Creepy.

I don't know. I'm gonna guess that less than 1% of the population knows what "airgap your machine" means. My wife has 8.1 and I dislike it. XP is probably the OS that most polls would tell you was the most favored by users.

I know there is a Windows 10/MVP thread, but I didn't want this to get lost in there in case people wanted this as a guide. Apparently, this guide was made off of a reddit post. Hope you find it useful.

Already discussed above.

Hey jef.... I installed those Astros faces with no problem to my MVP 08 install via TiT, but it just doesn't want to get into MVP 15. I get a fifa error. MVP15 has just been so much more problematic than past TC mods overall.

I've got to add to the Ben Carson comment. I didn't hear the original statement (though I'm sure there's 8,453 sources that I could go to), though I've heard him make re-clarification statements since then. His point was not against Muslims, in general. His point was about anyone presenting with a radical or religious tenet that would supercede the Constitution. In general, Carson does not believe that Islam is in concert with the Constitution. Carson went on to say in subsequent interviews, and I'm not naive enough to think that this isn't damage control (believe me), that this would apply to anyone who promoted their religious beliefs that may be antithetical to the Constitution. I've seen Carson speak numerous times now and he's not a black and white guy. First and foremost, his training is in science/medicine, so he aspires to think within the gray areas (no pun intended). Keep in mind, that this country had a great number of people who had great reservations in voting John F. Kennedy to the Presidency at the time because some feared that his Catholic influences would affect his ability to lead properly (many people don't realize that to this day, JFK has been our only Catholic president). So everyone should be careful about their sources and what they are told to think or believe about any of these candidates about any given points. Take the time to listen, should you care, to what they are saying and try to get it directly from their mouths. Don't let some biased internet site guide your thinking. Lastly, I don't think Carson is going to win, but he makes a number of great points in trying to get this nation out of the dependency state it has developed and his interest in having it return to the greatness and status that it once had. I think he would make a tremendous cabinet appointment.

The only thing I don't like on the Madden 08 game is the converging yellow arrows on the ball. If there was a way to hide those (I'm sure there is with transparencies), I would probably play it .

I still have some old NFL 2k5 replays I saved...some polished, some I was going to make into a short demo video. Just can't get rid of them. Used to do full game recaps too. I especially used to record replays when the cpu team made some outlandish, jaw-dropping play. Here's a few if you care to look.

I appreciate the kind words. I am actually thinking of releasing an end of season update very soon. Along the way I found a number of things that could use updating, including catchers' throwing abilities, catchers' speeds, fielders' batting numbers who have lower years of service (now that there's more data), a few tweaks here and there and good hitting pitchers getting the necessary edits. Oh, also, I'm upping each pitch type velocity by 1 mph to closer match real life speeds (though not checking each and every pitcher; just a global edit with what I already have).

Glad to help. I was thinking of repurchasing an O-Xbox myself and play some older seasons of NFL 2K5. Goootttttaaaa reeeeesisssst!!!!!

Yes.... didn't find it in the DL section, so I uploaded the two tools that I have. I don't recall what pc2xbox-gui is. You may just have to install and find out. I'm pretty sure the regular datafle.txt files work as is, if you want to use one.

Thank you sir!!

Is there a face of Martin Prado without eye black anywhere?

There's one on ebay right now for $50..ending today.

Jef... check the comment in the Houston Astros upload. Problem for me with Springer and Valbuena.

His stories and quips were endless. You may never have liked the Yankees, but you had to love Yogi. As he so perfectly put it: “I never said most of the things I said.” Here are 50 favorites. 1. When you come to a fork in the road, take it. 2. You can observe a lot by just watching. 3. It ain’t over till it’s over. 4. It’s like déjà vu all over again. 5. No one goes there nowadays, it’s too crowded. 6. Baseball is ninety percent mental and the other half is physical. 7. A nickel ain’t worth a dime anymore. 8. Always go to other people’s funerals, otherwise they won’t come to yours. 9. We made too many wrong mistakes. 10. Congratulations. I knew the record would stand until it was broken. 11. You better cut the pizza in four pieces because I’m not hungry enough to eat six. 12. You wouldn’t have won if we’d beaten you. 13. I usually take a two-hour nap from one to four. 14. Never answer an anonymous letter. 15. Slump? I ain’t in no slump… I just ain’t hitting. 16. How can you think and hit at the same time? 17. The future ain’t what it used to be. 18. I tell the kids, somebody’s gotta win, somebody’s gotta lose. Just don’t fight about it. Just try to get better. 19. It gets late early out here. 20. If the people don’t want to come out to the ballpark, nobody’s going to stop them. 21. We have deep depth. 22. Pair up in threes. 23. Why buy good luggage, you only use it when you travel. 24. You’ve got to be very careful if you don’t know where you are going, because you might not get there. 25. All pitchers are liars or crybabies. 26. Even Napoleon had his Watergate. 27. Bill Dickey is learning me his experience. 28. He hits from both sides of the plate. He’s amphibious. 29. It was impossible to get a conversation going, everybody was talking too much. 30. I can see how he (Sandy Koufax) won twenty-five games. What I don’t understand is how he lost five. 31. I don’t know (if they were men or women fans running naked across the field). They had bags over their heads. 32. I’m a lucky guy and I’m happy to be with the Yankees. And I want to thank everyone for making this night necessary. 33. I’m not going to buy my kids an encyclopedia. Let them walk to school like I did. 34. In baseball, you don’t know nothing. 35. I never blame myself when I’m not hitting. I just blame the bat and if it keeps up, I change bats. After all, if I know it isn’t my fault that I’m not hitting, how can I get mad at myself? 36. I never said most of the things I said. 37. It ain’t the heat, it’s the humility. 38. If you ask me anything I don’t know, I’m not going to answer. 39. I wish everybody had the drive he (Joe DiMaggio) had. He never did anything wrong on the field. I’d never seen him dive for a ball, everything was a chest-high catch, and he never walked off the field. 40. So I’m ugly. I never saw anyone hit with his face. 41. Take it with a grin of salt. 42. (On the 1973 Mets) We were overwhelming underdogs. 43. The towels were so thick there I could hardly close my suitcase. 44. Little League baseball is a very good thing because it keeps the parents off the streets. 45. Mickey Mantle was a very good golfer, but we weren’t allowed to play golf during the season; only at spring training. 46. You don’t have to swing hard to hit a home run. If you got the timing, it’ll go. 47. I’m lucky. Usually you’re dead to get your own museum, but I’m still alive to see mine. 48. If I didn’t make it in baseball, I won’t have made it workin’. I didn’t like to work. 49. If the world were perfect, it wouldn’t be. 50. A lot of guys go, ‘Hey, Yog, say a Yogi-ism.’ I tell ’em, ‘I don’t know any.’ They want me to make one up. I don’t make ’em up. I don’t even know when I say it. They’re the truth. And it is the truth. I don’t know.

Sorry, you started off talking about MVP 15 and it wasn't clear with what you were struggling. But, now you have 2 references. Always check around for help before starting a new thread. Chances are there's something already going.
