Oh, well I am sorry about that. Good work Dennis! That's ok Jim. This wasn't your creation to begin with. And I don't think there was any way that this would have been a quick one to two week fix. Like you said you both are perfectionists and there was just too much to repair and get in order. Now you could have done it two weeks had you both worked fourteen hour days but who needs that? And the top 100 label didn't affect the game play at all. By the middle of the game that I played I didn't even notice it anymore. I understand. Sometimes you got to make adjustments. Would this help? NBC logo history

Four months ago the first edition of Total Classics 1971 was released by a member of this website. It was to put it as nicely and fairly as one could, incomplete and disorganized but at the same time full of potential because 1971 was one of the most interesting seasons in baseball history. Four twenty game winners came out of Baltimore. Sometimes when I tell that to people today they immediately think I am pulling their leg but as Casey Stengel so aptly put it, "You could look it up." Players such as Willie Mays, Hank Aaron, Bob Gibson and Frank Robinson were still active and adding to their future Hall-of-Fame credentials. Younger players such as Reggie Jackson, Bobby Murcer and Vida Blue were making themselves household names too. Blue especially. All he did was win the Cy Young award and Most Valuable Player award in 1971. Not bad for someone only twenty-one years of age. So, 1971 was a good choice for a total conversion mod. It's just that the first version of this mod needed a lot of work and the guy who created this original mod (BRobby05) left the website soon after this was released back in February because he felt that he was being picked on because people were bringing up problems with the mod. One guy couldn't get the mod to play because the menus in the game were slow and it seemed to crash. The mod was almost unplayable for him. There were also other comments about the mod that were given constructively but he chose to look at them as a personal attack. Soon after this he requested his account deactivated and he left the website. The last word on him is that he has been devoting his time to the Westboro Baptist Church and is very happy. There were five parts to downloading the first '71 mod a few months back. Now it is in one part and you can download it right here. It is Jim's familiar installer and if you have installed the TC mods in the past then you will have no trouble getting the 1971 mod on your system without any problem. Just have a clean, unmodded version of Mvp 2005 so you can direct the installer where to place the files and that will be that. You know the drill. This mod was overhauled by the two masters Jim825 and DennisJames71. That's all you really need to know because if you see their names associated with a total conversion mod you know it's going to be good and that you'll be spending a lot of your free time in the mod playing exhibition games or a full season. These guys have a way of captivating you with their work. Dennis rolled up his sleeves and fixed the problems with the uniforms that were so glaring the first time around. Now all the uniforms look crisp and neat. Typical Dennis James. There is a list of things that Jim and Dennis did that you can see for yourself in the file description when you get this mod and believe me it is quite an extensive undertaking. One thing they did not have to do was get new photos. That is one thing the original modder did very well. The music on the other hand was an area of concern. There was so much country music contained in the first mod that even The Beverly Hillbillies wouldn't have been able to listen to it all at once. Jim took pity on everyone and gave all this music its outright release and then added artists such as The Rolling Stones, The Temptations, Tom Jones and Isaac Hayes to the jukebox. You can check out the full list when you get into the mod. There was one thing that I don't know if Jim or Dennis could have done anything about and it was the appearance of the loading screens. I know that they said they resized them but the look of those screens are as bad as the first mod. Get into the mod and decide for yourself. It looks as if these screens were created with the cheapest (free) paint program that guy was able to find. However, if Jim and Dennis decided to keep these screens as is as an example of how gaudy the 1970's were, then my hat's off to them because if there was one decade that had no sense of fashion it would be the 1970's. It's like someone got a couple of monkeys and gave them some paint and had them throw it against a canvas and whatever stuck they used those colors to design clothes. The overlay is the only thing I am seriously considering changing because I am one of those people who is a stickler for detail. BRobby used an NBC logo in the first mod (well, he actually stole it from the 1988 mod) but by using an NBC one he was right. NBC did the baseball broadcasting in 1971. ABC did televise baseball (from 1953 to 1965) and did not televise it again until 1976. Again as Ol' Case says, you could look it up. One other thing was how the original modder did not remove the "Top 100 Prospect" icon from some of the players. In the game I played Frank Howard (rookie year 1960) and Reggie Jackson (rookie year 1968) were top 100 prospects. I spent over an hour yesterday in this mod and I can't begin to tell you how impressed I was. I'll be back again and again. Thank you so much to Jim and Dennis for providing more historical baseball fun with Mvp 2005. The game I used for this write-up was the Oakland Athletics (CPU, first in the A.L. West in '71) against the Washington Senators (me, fifth in the A.L. East in 1971.) Screenshots. Welcome to Total Classics 1971...take two! The loading screens still look like they were created in MS Paint thanks to the original modder. Washington has an early lead in this game. In-game overlay for the 1971 mod. Say hi to Top 100 Prospect Reggie Jackson.

So what? That means he's never been here before? You want to provide a link then fine. The guy found two other threads in here but not the Windows 10 thread. It's not the worst thing that's ever happened and that's why I told him that there already was a thread for this. You are still crying because you still think I gave your damn mods a one star rating even though I explained to you that I didn't do it. Like I mother *&(&ing would waste my time giving your mods ANY kind of attention. IT WAS ALREADY EXPLAINED TO YOU THAT I DID NOT DO THAT BUT YOU REFUSED TO ACCEPT IT. I didn't give the guy a hard time. Only you saw it that way and frankly you don't count at all.

How was I not being polite? All I said that there was a Windows 10 thread already on this website. He's not brand new. The guy's been here almost three years now so he should know where the forums are. I didn't give him a hard time at all but you couldn't resist making me look like a bad guy again. You want to start something with me you just let me know.

There's a Windows 10 thread already.

Why don't you show everyone how smart you are by going back and discretely reading the rules? Here are two points that should jump out at you. 1. Bumping threads with posts that simply say "bump". You may not always get an answer straight away, so please be patient before bumping a thread; a couple of hours may not be long enough for someone with the right knowledge to come along and answer your question. Bumping a thread that has not been posted in for some time may be tolerated so long as you are making a meaningful contribution to the discussion that is relevant to the original topic. Bumping old threads simply for the sake of posting however will not be tolerated. 2. Discussions and requests for illegal downloads (via admission or open discussion) or making them available to other posters is explicitly prohibited. This content includes (but is not limited to): CD Keys (MLB 2K or MVP Baseball or otherwise) & Serial Numbers No-CD cracks Warez Original Game Files READ. LEARN. UNDERSTAND.

Do you want to put money on this stuff?

You know, if you start getting accurate with these sims like you did last night you should put some money down. Now let me look at that box score for the Yankees and Blue Jays. Ellsbury and Gardner were a combined 0 for 14. So far this is believeable. Teixeira struck out three times but got two hits? Hmmm. The strikeouts, sure. But not two hits. This lazy good for nothing bum can't get two hits in batting practice. Beltran went 2 for 6. Again, believeable. He's been hot. Gregorius and Castro contributing is something they have been doing all year. Ackley in a rare start did well too. Even Headley got a hit too. He's been showing signs of breaking out of it. And McCann didn't surprise me at all by going 0 for 6. It's what he does. And the pitching was fine. Nova did well. Good work!

Why are you responding to threads that have been dormant for almost a year?

Where were you back in August when he really needed you?

Maybe your best bet would be to invest in the PC version of this game. You won't have that problem there.

Oh my God that looks terrible.

As long as you are able to play that's all that matters.

Ok Jim, that makes sense. But let me ask you this. How would this be? Why would these files be set to read-only when anyone else who installed this mod was able to do it without these problems? Kind of confusing.

No. First of all you didn't need to install all five patches. Patches three through five are just roster updates and those updates from EA are eleven years old now. So, we don't need them. The patches you can install are patch one and two but even if you didn't install them you still would have had a full working version of the 1984 total conversion mod.

I read that in your first post. That means you did something wrong. I installed the 1984 mod and I have the '84 rosters and everything needed for that mod.
