Five stars or make it ten stars or even more. I am downloading this mod right now and I already love it. That's how much faith I have in the talents of Jim and Dennis James and I want to thank both of them very much for this exciting mod which I will be playing a lot during the coming months. The only problem with these classic mods are that there are so many good ones and then finding the time to play each one of them. It's a nice problem to have and so far I have been able to meet the challenge. I welcome this mod with open arms. Thank you Jim and Dennis once again. It was a special year for me.

Yeah, he threw me off too. The problem he just mentioned had nothing to do with the game freezing since that was his first complaint with the mod.

Good advice!

That's fine. You must have just missed that thread because you posted your question in the same area that this support thread is located. The problem you are having is something I haven't heard before with this mod. Hopefully someone will see this who has had the same problem before and they can tell you what to do to fix it. Provide more information here first. What teams were you using? What stadium were you playing in?

There is already a thread to report problems with the Mvp 15 mod so there was no reason to create another one. You are not being specific at all. What kind of performance issues are you having? Where is the game crashing. There is an update for the mod and it's in the download section.
-
These new people don't read the rules. And like you said, it's a pirated version that you actually have to pay for to get. Yeah, you can download it for free but the download time is purposely slow. You'll be able to finish War and Peace before your download is finished.

Thank you Jim. And I just want to say that there was nothing sarcastic about my answer to one of our newest members. The guy said he was unsure of what mods he needed to upgrade his copy of Mvp '05. Since we both have been here for a very long time you know as well as I do that this is a question that is very hard to answer because of our wide variety of mods here. He didn't say if he was a fan of the modern game because if he did I would have told him to try out Mvp 15 and then get the latest rosters for that. Or if he was more of a fan of baseball's past. I would have told him to look at Total Classics Phase 10 and the other season mods. Either way I would have just ended up giving him too much information about what mods to get. "Get this one vieextreme and then this one and this one and this one, etc" It would have been too much. I have given the same answer to people over the years that I gave to him. Go to the download section and see for yourself. There's so much there. Even people who have been here awhile should spend some quality time there because some of the mods that are buried there in the back pages are hidden gems.

I'd love to see the finished product for this mod. You guys have been doing a great job.

We have a download section here. It's called Downloads. Go there and go to the Mvp 2005 area. There are literally hundreds of mods to choose from. Download and read the directions that come with the mod.

I am thinking about going back to one of my earlier reviews of Daflyboys/Gordo's rosters and just cut and pasting what I said from there in here because it's always the same. That's because his work is always the same. Outstanding, accurate, attention to detail, etc. You can't ask for more. Thank you!

Would anyone be interested in 2016 pre-Spring Training MLB rosters??

Take your time. If these ingrates can't even be bothered to come in here and say yes, please or even yes then don't rush it on any account. -

Sure, I wouldn't mind. Thank you in advance. -
Random Thoughts On A Sunday Morning Updated To 11-24
Yankee4Life replied to Yankee4Life's topic in Left Field (Off-Topic)
Updated to 2-7 Special Super Bowl and football edition. ...I don't know about you but I am thrilled that today is Super Bowl Sunday. This is the most hyped sporting event ever and if you don't happen to fans of these two teams all you are really going to care about is if the square you bought in your Super Bowl pool pays off for you. The NFL Network bragged that it had 88 hours of Super Bowl coverage last week and maybe forty-five minutes of it actually had something to do with the game. They had live coverage of the Broncos landing in San Francisco and they almost made it sound like a CNN-newsworthy event. Here's comes Peyton Manning now. He's wearing a light blue suit. By the time the game begins tonight you're going to know all there is to know about when Manning has breakfast, what he has and why he says no to Cheerios. ...That's another thing that has changed for the worst too. The start of the game here in the east. 6;30 p.m. is kickoff and by quarter after seven I'm so bored with it that I check to see what's on the Hallmark channel. I have to get accustomed to them talking about the game right now and not Peyton Manning's opinion on Cheerios. Part of it is because the Raiders aren't in it but after all these years you'd think I would be used to that. Years ago, and this is back when Oakland was good, the Super Bowl would start around 4:00 p.m. here on the cold side of the country. There's no reason why they can't start it at this time again because people will watch this game any time it is on. The halftime show back then wasn't as long either. Now each halftime show has to try to beat the one from the year before. I predict within ten years we will see these go over the one hour mark. ...If you are a fan of the Cleveland Browns you have to like how the off-season is going so far, although that will not officially start until around 9:30 p.m. tonight when we find out who won Super Bowl 50. They finally went out and got themselves a decent coach in Hue Jackson, a man who given the time, resources and patience can turn things around for that team. That is saying a lot because people are so used to quick fixes but that's what they've been trying to with this team for awhile now so why not give Jackson the time to do his job? He did a great job in Oakland a looked like the perfect fit there. I don't know why he was let go after the 2011 season. He was replaced by Dennis Allen and all the Raiders did under him was continue to lose. The second thing Browns fans can look at positively is that next month when the new league year starts Johnny Manziel will no longer be on the team and although Manziel can or will not realize it, this is all his fault. There were times that Manziel showed Cleveland how good he was and why he was a first-round pick for them but what he did off the field since joining the Browns overshadowed everything he did on it. Giving Manziel the boot was Hue Jackson's first move in his rebuilding process. Nothing like starting a new era of Browns football off with a bang. ...I think it's great news that the Chargers will be playing in San Diego next season and I hope that it will be for many more years after that. Those fans support them very well just like the Raiders fans do up in Northern California. If the Raiders leave Oakland I don't know if I will watch the NFL again. I've lived through this happening once already. ...Too Much, Too Little, Too Late, Dept: Oakland's Ken Stabler was elected to the Pro Football Hall of Fame yesterday. All I got to say about this is that is it about time and why couldn't this happen a year ago? Stabler has been retired for over thirty years now so there was plenty of time to get him to Canton so he could enjoy it personally. Stabler died last July of colon cancer and now a member of his family will have to represent him this year when his name is announced. It's good that he is finally in but it makes me wonder why they had to wait until now to let him in the door. ...Oh yeah, the game. I am an AFC fan and as a rule I root for their representative in the game unless New England is playing or if it is another AFC West team. So by default I am rooting for Carolina. What would really make this game worth watching is if Peyton Manning does something at the worst possible moment to make the Broncos lose. Throw a key interception in the fourth quarter, fumble the ball, over throw a receiver on a key third down play. I'm not picky. And if he wins or loses he'll still get his Papa John's pizza on Monday. -
Jim it is good to see that he realizes this mod was a work in progress and I am sure that whatever you do for this mod will make it look a lot better. I personally think this was his big mistake, releasing the mod in this state. Nobody needed to see this mod before he was 100% ready for it to be downloaded and the way it was released to everyone it was no where near 100%. Stecropper was helping him out here so I am sure he saw this before any one of us did. Maybe. It doesn't make any sense to me to release a TC mod before it is ready to be seen by everyone especially when you know it isn't ready.
-
I agree with you. But nobody put his work down with the intention of putting him down, let alone myself. And I don't want to hear from anyone otherwise that I did. One more thing. No one went up to him and told him he should leave this website. That was his own idea and choosing.
-
You did something similar for Sal and that turned out well. And take your time with this too. It is not like we don't have anything else to occupy our time here. Look what Gordo did for the global editing in TC 10. I'm anxious to see what the subtle differences are in that.
-
I never said the game could not be improved. I also said it had great potential. 1971 was a great year for a total classics mod. I was pulling for him.
-
But you could see how the novice user would get confused? And fifteen minutes? Not bad. The installation for this could have been better. But take that away for a second. Forget about the installation issue. Another big weakness about this mod is the roster ratings. The first team I look at is the Yankees and while some of them look ok some of his ratings are highly questionable and one I found was laughable. Roy White has a speed rating of 99. Anyone who saw White play knew he wasn't close to that. Ron Blomberg has a speed rating of FIVE. That's 5. And Mel Stottlemyre? Pitcher Mel Stottlemyre has a speed rating of 99. These are issues that could have been repaired but now that he is gone this mod may as well be deleted. And that is too bad. It had potential.
-
I gave his mod a very honest and fair review. You can judge for yourself right here. He also got upset because he mentioned that he couldn't seem to win on this site and I asked him who he thought was out to get him. The mod needs work. A lot of it. But it does have potential. And I am not kidding if you want to try it out.Set aside a long time to install it. A LONG time.
-
Danc, you have nothing at all to feel sorry about. He chose all by himself to have his account deactivated. If you read my review of that mod it had a lot going for it but it also had a lot of problems too. The installation of that mod was the worst I have ever come across. Hey, we have other season mods, right?
-
No it is not. They have very good instructions over on their site. You need the NHL 2004 game from EA first.
