  1. You aren't kidding. And if people search even further they will find another NCAA thread that was before this one. I'm not even going to post the link here because that thread is dead just like this one should be.
  2. Well I do have this mod but I am not going to upload it because the file is still actually there. Something needs to be fixed with some of these files in order for people to download them. The site owner is aware of the problem.
  3. Using the Negro League Mod. Newark Eagles at Homestead Grays. Played at Catholic Protectory Oval in the Bronx. I think the Negro League Mod is one of the most underrated total conversion mods we have here. It does not get talked about a lot but the research it took to develop the rosters alone should be worth a look into this mod. Gathering stats for these ballplayers could not have been easy for Dennis James to do and this is probably one of the main reasons why it took him about a year to create. One thing I really like about this mod is the stadiums used here that you are only going to find here. Like the Caribe mod has their own stadiums you will only find there you will get the chance to play in places such as Bacharach Park, KC Parade Way Park, Stars Park, Mack Park and the Catholic Protectory Oval that I used in today's game. This is in no way the complete list of new ballparks used here. Try this one out. You won't be sorry.
  4. A "please" and a "thank you" always works well.
  5. Very, very nice screen grabs. And it's nice to see those turn-ahead-the-clock ones being used too.
  6. I don't know what the hell daflyboys just said but I gave him a +1 anyways.
  7. Thank you KST. You always do wonderful work.
  8. From NoMaas.org. This describes Teixeira perfectly.
  9. Sure, I knew that. I've been trying to convert him for years now but he won't budge. I thought something else was up besides that.
  10. I remember seeing this mod a few years back and luckily I recalled where I saw it. A modder named DomoeYusa created this mod and you can check it out and download it
  11. Another wonderful job. Thank you.
  12. No. I'm not and no one else should have to do this for you either. If you have the two disks then you have the stadiums. Simple as that. And the Mvp Legends and Mvp Heroes are not in the Mvp 13 mod. They were replaced with the NL and AL Future Stars.
  13. I made a thread that happens to be a sticky in the Mvp 05 Support thread that is a pretty good guideline to how to do this with ease.
  14. Thank you utleyhowardhamels. I couldn't have said it better myself.
  15. Updated to 8-24 ...Have you ever watched those martial arts fight scenes in the movies? I see these guys beating each other up with anything that is nearby. An iron pipe, a chain, a metal chair. You name it and they use it on each other and they keep going. If that were me and I got hit with a pipe I am either waking up in an emergency room with a headache that will last a month or I won't wake up at all. It sucks getting old. ...David Ortiz hit his 400th home run as a member of the Boston Red Sox last week putting him in the company of Ted Williams and Carl Yastrzemski as the only Red Sox players who have hit that many home runs as a member of the Red Sox. What an honor. I mean he really earned that didn't he? <wink> <wink> There you go. Now we are back on track. ...I have been on the search for a new mouse for the past couple of weeks and Amazon is usually the first place that I look at because they have a lot of them. I neglected to mention that I was looking for a decent left-handed mouse to go with the keyboard that I bought. I expected to pay high but not this high. &#36;399 for mouse? For that amount of money I can buy me a top of the line tablet or a Playstation 4. Thanks, but I'll pass. ...If there is one thing that the Yankees and the Red Sox have in common it is that when something goes wrong they immediately look for someone to blame and when they do that that person always ends up getting fired. I am almost expecting this to happen to Yankee hitting coach Kevin Long because all year long this team has done nothing at the plate and since they are supposed to be the Bronx Bombers this is totally unacceptable. When the Yankees get six or more hits a game it is reason to break out the bubbly. It is not Long's fault that this team is not as good as they are on paper and that is exactly what I think Long's going to get. A pink slip. ...For the month of October only Microsoft will be shipping a special version of their Xbox One console system. What makes this so special is that the casing on this will be white. The console still will have a 500 MB hard drive, just like the black model, and will not have any other special features. It will still cost you &#36;399.99 -no deals here- but for an extra &#36;100 you can buy one with 1TB of storage. I saw pictures of this and it does look nice but if I had to drop some money to get an Xbox One I would be sure to get the black model because the only way items around your house stay white for a period of time is if you don't touch them and you may as well forget that with something like this. ...I wonder how Oakland Athletics fans feel, who by now are thrilled to have someone like Jon Lester on their team, repeatedly say that he would be thrilled to go back to Boston after this season is done? How do you cheer for someone like that when you know in a few short months he's getting ready to screw you? ...Stupid comment of the week goes to Magic Johnson when he was talking about the possibilities of Los Angeles getting an NFL team within the next two years. His pipe dream is to have the Raiders come back to town "because that is where they belong." They called Los Angeles home for only twelve years and the last few years that they were there people were leaving in the third quarter but according to this guy they belong there. Idiot. ...This is a big week for console football fans because on Tuesday Madden 15 is going to be released for Xbox One, PS4, Xbox 360 and PS3. EA promotes the hell out of this game every year and this year they made a video that is around 3 1/2 minutes long and you don't even see anything from the game until 2 1/2 minutes go by. All that time is filled up with dancing and singing - you know the things you usually do when you are playing a football video game. People will gladly pay seventy dollars for essentially a roster update and maybe some new animations thrown in and EA knows this going in. I'm jealous and envious in a way because I wish they felt the same way about their baseball game when they had it just like their football franchise. ...In case you have not seen this video you can see it right here. ...Last week Microsoft said that they were seriously considering changing the name of Internet Explorer, their highly criticized Web browser. Their view is that a name change would end the negative perceptions that have been associated with the browser. If they do this I don't see how this is going to fix anything because the bugs, security problems and outdated technology are still going to be in the browser no matter what they want to call it. If you put a new coat of paint on the outside of a house and then ignore what has to be done on the inside you're only fooling yourself. That's what's going on here. ...What's this? The Red Sox sent all-world outfielder Jackie Bradley, Jr. to their Triple-A team in Pawtucket. They finally realized in mid-August that he can't hit major league pitching which was something that every other team in baseball knew since Opening Day. ...Browns rookie quarterback Johnny Manziel flipped the bird at the Washington Redskins out of frustration while he was running off the field during Cleveland's second preseason game because he was doing everything he should not do to impress the Browns coaching staff. With an attitude like he has he should have been drafted by the Patriots because at least on that team he would have fit in. ...Tampa Bay Rays manager Joe Maddon got a lot of heat last week because he criticized the hometown Tampa Bay Rays fans for cheering Derek Jeter consistently during the recently completed three-game series that the Rays hosted. Granted there are a lot of Yankee fans down there and most are transplanted New Yorkers who moved down to Florida to escape the snow but Maddon does have a point. All the guy is asking for is for the Rays fans to come out and root for their team and if you read between the lines he is also telling the crowd to stop kissing Jeter's a&#36;&#36; every time he sticks his head out of the dugout. ...And that right there is the only thing that bugs me about this guy. I appreciate that Derek Jeter is a great ballplayer and I'm happy he played for the Yankees all these years but I just can not bring myself to treat him like a God like the press has done virtually since he's been in the major leagues. He's just a ballplayer. The Yankees did just fine before he got there and they'll survive after he's gone. ...In case you were not alive and kicking back in 1989, today marks the twenty-fifth anniversary of the lifetime banishment from baseball that Pete Rose accepted from then-commissioner A. Bartlett Giamatti. I remember watching the live feed on CNN when Giamatti began his press conference with these seven words. The banishment for life of Pete Rose... I didn't know if I should cheer or laugh and thinking back I probably did both. I was convinced at that time Rose knew exactly what he was doing and nothing that has happened after all this time has changed my mind. Even though he only held the post for six months Giamatti was a hell of a commissioner. The latest out of Rose is that he did not read the "fine print" when he signed an agreement to be banished for life because he thought he'd only been suspended for a season. Pick-up lines that you hear in bars are more believable then this because the document that Rose signed those many years ago was only a four-page one and it clearly stated that he was being banned for life. I just hope that the new commissioner of baseball does not believe what Rose is trying to sell here because the only person he has to blame is himself for this mess and not a misunderstanding a quarter century ago. ...Nick Swisher underwent surgery on both knees last Wednesday and because of that his terrible 2014 season (.208 avg, 8 HR, 42 RBI) will come to an end. This does him a big favor in a way because if the Indians do manage to make the post season he will avoid another October where the only thing you can count on him doing is walking back to the dugout after striking out. ...I am waiting to see if there is any complaining about the Red Sox signing Cuban defector Rusney Castillo to a seven-year, &#36;72.5 million deal but I know from past experiences that there will be none. Had the Yankees signed this guy to this huge contract there would be quite a few members of the media who would only be too glad to point out to everyone how the rich get richer. Can the Sox use this guy? Probably. But the reason why he's going to be wearing a Red Sox uniform for the next seven years is because Boston wanted to keep him away from New York. ...A woman visiting the zoo in Madison, Wisconsin climbed over a fence just so she could plant a kiss on a giraffe but as usual with these human and giraffe relationships, things went sour fast. The giraffe returned the kiss and then decided that she was not his type and then proceeded to turn around and kicked her in the face, which in giraffe body language means get lost. Not counting her broken heart, her injuries were non-life-threatening but she was cited for harassment of zoo animals and was fined almost &#36;700. Well, maybe it was best for her. It never would have worked out in the end. ...Of all the MLB games that were played last week the one that really stood out for me was last Thursday's game between the Tigers and the Rays where Tampa Bay beat former teammate David Price 1 - 0 even though Price only gave up one hit. The collective opinion on the Rays after the Price trade was that they lost another quality player and that they were done. If there is one thing that I have learned after watching this team for the past few years is that they are tougher than they look and that there is no quit in them and I credit that to Joe Maddon. I have always wondered if Tampa Bay had the money that the Yankees have and how good they would be? A team that has brains and knows how to use them that also has the money to get things done? Good thing for the Yankees no such team exists. ...Finally this week I want to wish a very happy birthday to Jim825. Actually it is tomorrow and if you take a glance at his screen name -Jim825- you will see for yourself why he has the 825 as part of his online name. If you have been around here for even a little while you've seen for yourself the huge impact Jim has around here. He's a big part of Total Classics and you have him to thank for the easy installer that is included in those mods. And there is not a question about the modding of the game that Jim can not answer. He's an excellent member of the staff and a good friend and I have appreciated getting to know him after all these years here. I have no doubt his family feels the same way about him although I doubt his wife has never asked him about installing multiple mods on her computer. Happy Birthday Jim and have a good one!
  16. Thank you very much Daflyboys! Another wonderful roster set for this great game of ours and you do a tremendous job. I also want to take the time out to thank the work done by Encbase13 and laroquece. You guys are very much appreciated here.
  17. Someone's got to Williamsburg!
  18. That would be me. I am the guy who owns and operates a nationwide chain of top-of-the-line laundry establishments and I am proud to say I have a contract with every team in the NFL and Major League Baseball to insure that the uniforms that they wear when they step out on the field look as good as possible. Pleased to meet you!
  19. The game switched laundry service and the uniforms now remain cleaner a longer throughout the course of the game.
  20. This one will make you laugh. Take a look at this video so you can see exactly how the Yankees lost. Robertson serves it right down the middle. If Chris Carter did not hit that ball he should have been fined. The Yankees find a new goat every damn night to lose the game. Tonight it was Robertson's turn.
