I think the issue is that with the ever decreasing attention span of every child being born, "mobile devices" are preferred because you can't keep a PC glued to your face when you are walking down the street or shopping at the mall or giving birth, etc. For the older generation, mobile is preferred because it's not as easy to take a PC to your child's 25 soccer games each weekend, and there's no time to play games when you spend 2 hours each evening doing your kids homework. Grouchy H-70 Out.

Maybe I am not seeing it right -- I am always open to a new game if it's fun. What particular stuff are you guys seeing that you like? Are there some things that look a better than either MVP or 2K?

You guys are funny I think it's less like falling onto the ground and needing a med-alert necklace, and more like slowly falling for an idiea. Like my aformentioned significant other deciding she can put up with me

I think I can see why copies of 2K12 are selling for $100. Major League Baseball is a giant cash cow. This is the best they can do? Head scratcher.

I love the 2K12 gameplay, and have been enjoying it continuously since the day it came out. I think it's the geek in me that misses getting really excited about a new version of (Hight Heat/MVP/MLB 2K) coming out every year, getting it on the very first day, etc. I might be a bit older than the average MVP Mods member, but does anyone else remember that feeling? So much fun. Is there really no market for PC baseball games anymore? I can't help but think there are a lot of people like me out there who would fork out the cash for a new game every year. I understand why Sony doesn't produce The Show for PC.. Gotta keep those Playstations flying off the shelves. But it just astounds me that it's not profitable for anybody to make a "next gen" PC baseball game. For the record, I consider the RBI game that MLB is putting out to be very much "previous gen". Maybe even 3 or 4 gens ago

One of the things that is killing me is some of the (reported) changes they've made to frinchise play. I am 100% franchise all the way. Apparently this is the first year that you can control only one team, but still change to another within the same franchise. And also the first year that you can keep your franchise going when subsequent versions come out. Hopefully it's just spring fever that is getting me considering spending $ on baseball games/game consoles. I love being able to take my laptop when I go to vist my family, or go on business trips, or whatever, and still be able to play 2K12 wherever I am (it's a great way to spend boring layovers in airports). I would definitely miss that. Perhaps I should just mention it to my significant other. She'd probably smack some sense back in to me regarding spending the money.

The latest... http://www.gamespot.com/articles/easy-to-play-rbi-baseball-15-release-date-price-an/1100-6426181/

I don't want to give up PC baseball.. But these previews for MLB15 The Show are KILLING me. This one features one of the things that has been on my wishlist since Hardball 6... I love the idea of the lighting/sun/shadows being different based on time of day, time of year, etc etc. I think the lighting in 2K12 is good, but it's always bugged me that (using Detroit as an example) it's dark at 7 PM in Detroit on a June evening (sun sets in Det around 9:15 at the summer solstice). Could it possibly be worth coughing up the $460 for a PS4 and a copy of MLB The show based on the preview videos? ANGUISH! http://www.polygon.com/2015/3/27/8299761/mlb-15-the-show-trailer-graphics-lighting-video

To me, the biggest improvement I see is that you can have 25 man rosters instead of just 16. Welcome to High Heat Baseball 1999, without the modability.

Sorry if I sound like an idiot here --- but I'm not totally sure what an E N B is..

I *think* the only way you can do that is to not control any teams in your franchise. Not totally positive on that.

I don't see that screen if I hit "start" when the copyright and other legal info screen comes up; Doing so takes me directly to the "press start" screen (incidentally, it would be nice to just press start once and get it over with). If I just sit and wait long enough, pressing nothing and just sitting there waiting, the logos show and the intro starts to play. "Justin Verlander! Blah blah blah! Reportedly boinked Kate Upton!" (at this point I am pressing start like a maniac to make it stop).

I'm sorry to report that last year's version was most certainly not worth playing. It was just god-awful horrible.

I have seen the same thing, except with players named "Josh" changed to "Ezequiel". I just changed them using the Ty Wiggins editor. I am also using BSU's roster, but my Alex's have been ok.

Thanks for posting this! I've had the music volume turned down to zero for the past couple of years because I've gotten sick of the songs, so I'd love to tinker with a new selcection. Question: Does this also corrolate with the "walk up" music in-game?

I played the *#$# out of MVP for over 5 years straight, loved all the mods (particularly the tools like the sav reader, schedule modifier, etc), and I loved every inning of it. But, I have to say that I enjoy playing 2K12 more at this point in terms of actually playing through games. My advice is to play a few games of each, and see which "feels" better to you. There are great mods for both.

They show up on Amazon and eBay from time to time, but the don't come cheap

This seems like a really cool project! Question -- how are the teams that weren't yet in existence in 1994 represented?

I don't know why the words a m a z o n and l o g i t e c h don't appear properly in my post, but if you highlight the text you can see the message as written.

Hi everyone - since it appears that Microsoft is no longer allowing upgrading to 8.1 to be an option (I was forced to upgrade today), I thought I'd share the annoying impacts on playing 2K12. First of all, if you don't have your product key, try to find it. Once you are on Win 8.1, it treats the game as a new install. Thankfully for me, I purchased it via download from Amazon, and they still had it stored in my amazon.com profile. I've now written it down and put it with the rest of my valuables Next, be prepared to be frustrated by having to provide your log in credentials for 2K Sports. Somehow I managed to guess at mine and was successful, even though it leads to the usual "unable to connect to 2K sports at this time" message. Lastly, be prepared to want to throw your computer through the nearest window when you finally get your game running, and you realize that your controller no longer has any drivers associated. It was tricky, but I was able to finally update my Logitech wireless dual stick to the drivers for a wireless xbox controller and everything started working fine again. In summary, it's a pain in the ***, but nothing that can't be fixed once you've been "upgraded". For those using Windows 8.0 who haven't had the forced upgrade yet, search for that product key!

Awesome! Now can you make a mod that will get the actual Tigers to the postseason? Such good players, such lousy play. Great work, love your mods.

Don't forget that once you start up the game, you have to "load" the roster. Very important step to using it.
