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.

Already a support thread for MVP 15. No need to start a new one: MVP 15 Support thread: http://www.mvpmods.com/forums/topic/57168-mvp-baseball-15-support-thread/

Somebody needs to try this fix with a fully stable version of MVP (as in 08 or 12) to rule out problems with 15. If this is the solution, that's a helluva first post. thanks! By the way, I think that's the file (driver) that was causing the problems with the W7 update recently.

Within MVPedit, yes. Within the Xbox itself....you'll have to tell us.

I don't know what else to tell you. I'm sure there's a more scientific way to go about this, but when you're doing a complete roster set, you have to make concessions. Good luck.

Oh...one other thing. The total no. of players limit is also somewhat lower, I believe, with the Xbox, so make sure your FA pool is relatively small. Maybe no more than 75-100 players.

Based on this: I would have this: The 86 control for the Sinker is based on his ERA from when I updated pitchers a little while back. And since it his most used pitch by far, it warrants having the 86. The other controls are estimations. I placed the Fastball that low because he is using it less than 8% this season and therefore did not rely on it nearly as much (you see this with a lot of sinker ball pitchers). Also, I don't have ANY pitcher with a pickoff higher than 3. The PC players are already just too good with pickoffs and the scale (1-15) is just too large when you see it in play. With my pitchers ranging between 0-3, I still see pickoffs during a game, probably at about the same rate as you would see in a real MLB game.

Yes, it's the same 19 .dat files, it's just that (from what I remember) one of them goes to its' own location. If you don't want to spend the time going through all the teams, I would suggest changing one team to all generic cybers and then export that team. Then import that team to each of the 29 other MLB teams. Import them to your Xbox to the appropriate spots and give it a shot. If it works, then you know you can change all of the other teams in a "real" roster version.

If you have a modded Xbox, no you don't. The .dat files will work, there's just one of them that gets separated from the other 19 (if you look inside the folders via ftp, you'll be able to see where they go). You can take a recent PC version of the rosters and adapt them. It's just a matter of cyberfaces..... Xbox didn't handle as many. I can't remember how many, but the bottom line is I would make the roster "standardized". In other words..... change all the faces to something between 901-915 (in mvpedit). That way you guarantee no crashes.

Not possible. We even can't convert the PC versions of the saved roster files (in game). Why don't you just use the rosters in the DL section here as they're probably more up to date than what EA would provide.

Your sinker movement for him is way too low. Look at this graphic from pitchf/x: His sinker (red triangle) compared to fastball (red square) is much more than a "1". I have it at a "7". Also, his splitter is thrown 3% of the time. 55 control for splitter compared to 70 for fastball is not enough disparity. This is why I left pitches thrown under 5% off. Pitchers probably aren't throwing them that much because they don't have that much control over them. Also, I've subtracted 2 mph off pitches because the game ramps them up a bit, but that's a matter of taste/preference. The Sano face is nice!

Hey portrait makers.... if anyone is interested in making these updates to prominent MLB players, it would be highly appreciated. I've broken down what I think is needed into fielders and pitchers. If I have someone in there in error because you know of the proper update, please indicate. Also, if there's someone I missed, please indicate also. Players listed either have the wrong hat or they still have a minor league portrait. FIELDERS Victorino DeJesus Murphy Carlos E.
