You have to understand that I can't keep constant real attributes for every player, especially in fielding as that takes lots of data. For example, this is Joseph's first season and there was no data to speak to his throwing attributes. Also, I can't adjust every pitcher on every team while adjusting every prominent player for every MLB team in regards to their contact and power. The beauty of the game and the editors is that you can make the adjustments that you want, but keep in mind that I use actual stats, such as those provided by PitchFX. See.... you watch the Orioles and can see Hunter hit 100 on the gun. But if you were making rosters, you'd have to go by a reliable site like PitchFX, and you'd see that Tommy Hunter's FB is listed as an average around 96 mph ( http://pitchfx.texasleaguers.com/pitcher/488984/?batters=A&count=AA&pitches=AA&from=4%2F1%2F2014&to=9%2F7%2F2014 ). Now, I'm sure Hunter has hit 100 and that at times he's taken speed off his FB and gone down to 92, but the game has its limitations. As a roster maker I have to pay attention to all 30 teams and I have to find the fastest and most efficient way to attempt adjusting attributes as long as I'm doing it. By the way, fielding attributes were done from last year's ratings, not this year's. The other thing is that I've asked for feedback throughout the entire year prior to releasing rosters and the same 3 or 4 guys provide information and that's about it. You're welcome to participate by giving me a reliable and accurate depiction that would capture ALL catchers throughout the league and how that would translate to the attributes AND sliders within the game (and the limitations that are inherent). I anxiously await your reply and help.

Try changing the extension from "RAR" to "ZIP". If that doesn't work, changed it from "RAR" to 7z". Also if you can unzip to another location, make a temporary folder on your desktop, unzip to that, then highlight the 19 files and drag to the data/database folder (after you delete the other 19. dat files that are already in there). And make sure that the shortcut icon to the game you are using is to the version that contains the new rosters. Some guys are keeping 2 or more installs and the shortcut is sometimes still pointing to the original install, where, of course, you'll see older rosters.

Just simmed a season with injuries on for MLB only. Of course the game is typically not going to emulate real life, but it picked the current top 3 teams in 4 of the 6 divisions and picked 2 out of 3 for the other 2 divisions. The only it was way off on was picking COL finishing in 3rd place (though they are currently last). Despite all my edits, this game really loves the Yankees Probably because I inserted Sabathia back in the line up. Not bad.

So to be clear, Eric Campbell (NYM) is 9041 ?

Rising Son has been doing a great job picking up the back end of the season. I'm going to post here what I think is still needed in case others are doing portraits as well. If I included updates that are already done, please let me know. Listed by position players and pitchers. 2014 Prominent Portraits Needed – Pitchers.pdf 2014 Prominent Portraits Needed – Position Players.pdf

I think Kyle Crockett, CLE RP, needs an ID. (What about Eric Campbell, 7561, who is no longer playing --- and there is another Eric Campell, 9041 who is active. Less confusion).

Adding to the .dat files above doesn't work. I wasn't thinking straight about it. Not sure if I'm going to do it that way...... just .mep's...... sorry. Correction: actually it will work for players already existing. It wouldn't work on a new created player. I think it was too late when I was looking back on this.

Zip up and send me everything you're working with. We'll take this to the PM's.

Not sure I followed all that, but anytime I run in error messages with MVPedit, I reboot my PC. Only thing I've found to make it behave.

Sure thing guys.... and Jaxen, you can import any roster file as well with MVPedit when the .mbe isn't given.

I decided that along the way if I discover any glaring mismatches with a given player (which usually happens with pitchers), I'll post them here versus the DL area. There will be an .mep file for those who can use MVPedit, otherwise I'll post the necessary lines for the given roster .dat file which anyone can copy and paste within a given .dat file. Simply, open with Wordpad, make sure word wrap is off, copy the given line here, highlight for the same player within the .dat file you just opened in Wordpad, and paste over that line. Save. This will not be reflected in your on-going season/franchise. Additionally, I don't mess with contract/salary stuff. Also, wanted to thank Dylan for his great pitcher stamina calculator. I've used it countless times. #1: KEVIN GAUSMAN, P, BALTIMORE ORIOLES (2014) For attrib.dat: 0fff0c8d0,0 Kevin,1 Gausman,2 39,3 0,4 0,5 0,6 10,7 27,8 90,9 28,10 902,11 0,12 3,13 5,14 0,15 1,16 5712,17 1,18 2,19 2,20 0,21 3,22 43,23 4,24 2,25 12,26 7,27 12,28 0,29 0,30 0,31 1,32 0,33 0,34 0,35 2,36 0,37 0,38 1,39 0,40 0,41 5,42 1,43 1,44 0,45 15712,; For pitcher.dat: 0fff0c8d0,0 Kevin,1 Gausman,2 68,3 1,4 0,5 0,6 69,7 93,8 11,9 7,10 3,11 65,12 82,13 6,14 8,15 2,16 60,17 78,18 -,19 -,20 -,21 -,22 -,23 -,24 -,25 -,26 -,27 -,28 43,; --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- #2: JUMBO DIAZ, RP, CINCINNATI REDS For attrib.dat: 0fff0cf6b,0 Jumbo,1 Diaz,2 70,3 0,4 0,5 10,6 0,7 28,8 199,9 37,10 909,11 0,12 3,13 0,14 7,15 2,16 8128,17 1,18 1,19 3,20 0,21 1,22 43,23 1,24 0,25 9,26 4,27 9,28 3,29 4,30 0,31 1,32 0,33 0,34 0,35 2,36 0,37 4,38 7,39 2,40 0,41 3,42 0,43 0,44 0,45 13207,; For pitcher.dat: 0fff0cf6b,0 Jumbo,1 Diaz,2 27,3 0,4 0,5 0,6 73,7 95,8 6,9 7,10 5,11 68,12 85,13 8,14 4,15 3,16 44,17 94,18 -,19 -,20 -,21 -,22 -,23 -,24 -,25 -,26 -,27 -,28 40,; --------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Gausman, Kevin MEP.rar Diaz, Jumbo MEP.rar

Welcome back Dennis. We all know that during your absence you were trying to grow the ultimate 'Fro!!

The game will not run in true wide screen for the PC. For some odd reason they programmed the game to run true widescreen only for the original Xbox. Search the DL's for resolution changer to run at a higher pixel rate, however, as long as your card supports it. But if you don't have a dedicated card for your laptop, expect problems.
