Well I startd a new dynasty and saved it again and it seems to work now. I also got Luis Aparicio's pic installed no problemo (thanks Don!). Looks like my work is cut out for me as far as correcting the pictures in this mod. I have Iview for a picture viewer/editor so it shouldn't be too hard. When I get done is it possible to post the corrected file for others to use?

Another dumb question. I started a new Dynasty and played one game and saved it. But I can't figure out how to continue where I left off. When I select Load Dynasty it says no Dynasty found.

Disregard the MVP Editor comment. Jim showed me where I was goofing up :good:

WOW!! You guys are great!!! I am looking forward to a full season with one team. Unfortunately, the MVP Edit thing and changing the pics isn't going very well. I was able to figure out how to access the current files, but NO pictures show up for any player. Just the stats. No idea what I am doing wrong :(

An update and some questions...first off EA Mods IS working. My re-registration just got dumped in the SPAM folder so I missed it. They are now known as MLB Mods and they seem to be concentrating on the 2K sports version of baseball. What a pity. Now some questions... 1. Is it possible to play a full season of baseball in the 1961 conversion? I sure haven't found any way to do it. Is there a mod I can download that would allow it? Or am I missing the option somewhere? I don't mean dynasty or manager mode. I mean just playing as one team for the whole 1961 season. 2. Would I need to install another full version of MVP 05 in order to use any of the other conversions? I suspect the answer is yes to this. 3. Not really a question, more of a comment. Is there any way of changing the faces that come up of the different ball players? Not the ones that are on the body, the cameo pictures. For instance, in 1961 Luis Aparicio was on the Chicago White Sox. But in the conversion he is wearing a Baltimore Orioles cap. He didn't go to Baltimore until 1963. There are plenty of pics of Luis Aparicio with a Sox cap on. Here's one on the baseball card I just won on E-Bay: http://www.vintagecardprices.com/pics/403/310/65038.jpg If someone can tell me where these pics are in the folders, I can probably change it myself. Unless the mod maker has some kind of rule about changing things, I can supply the corrected pics as I find them. Dep

Don: LOL...I thought I would be the only old timer playing this sim. Great to see I'm not alone. I just picked up two baseball cards that I remember having back in 1959, Luis Aparicio and Nellie Fox. The old "Keystone Combo". I also placed a big order with Deans Cards for a bunch of 1959 Topps cards. http://www.deanscards.com/ I've found them to be a great source of correctly-graded cards and pretty reasonable prices. I won't buy anything less than mint/excellent. But I had to get Fox and Aparicio off E-Bay. I wish we could view each other's sets. I remember the 1963 cards. Do you have this one? http://i2.ebayimg.com/01/i/001/11/cc/d6ca_35.JPG Ernie goes for big $$ no matter what year you buy. I lived in the Chicago area from 1949-2006 when I moved to New Mexico. I was mainly a Sox fan, but guys like Ernie Banks you could make exceptions for I distinctly remember watching the White Sox win the AL pennant in 1959. We watched it on our 19 inch B&W TV and when they clinched the pennant, they cranked up every siren in Chicago. Sounded like a London air raid Too bad they couldn't beat the Dodgers in the World Series. Dep

Thanks, I'll check it out. But I was a little young to really enjoy baseball in 1956. I am putting together a complete set of 1959 Topps baseball cards too. That's the first year I ever bought any and it's a real kick to see those old cards again. Never thought they'd be this expensive though. :wacko:

I just downloaded the 1961 mod. I'm VERY happy with it. Sure surprised me to see Yogi Berra in the outfield!!! I really would have liked to get a 1959 mod, but the 1961 mod is as close as I can get. And a side note...but it appears EA Mods website is really screwed up. I couldn't log in and trying to re-register didn't work either. There was a rumor of a 2010 roster update to the 2008 mod, but that doesn't seem to have happened. At least not yet. But since discovering the 1961 mod, I'm not really missing it. I'm an old geezer (age 60) and I relate more to the older guys than the new ones. BTW...excellent reviews of all the mods. Thanks! Dep
