Yeah, that's right. Andy borrowed from that mod to complete his.

Also check Total Classics Phase 10. There are some mid-90's teams in that.

Kyleb, have you thought of checking out the 1998 mod for some of these cyberfaces? That could help you a little.

You know Jim there was something I wanted to tell you all those years ago and you just reminded me what it was. Go play your game and see for yourself that the mods you do make you lose track of time when you play them. Thank you again.

Mvp can run on Windows 8. Other people have done it. But I have never heard of that controller. I'll check in here tomorrow.

That's true. I've been installing and uninstalling mods for ten years now. I still make mistakes. We all do. Which reminds me of some very good tips I can give to the both of you. After you download the mod that you want the first thing you must do and I really should say you have to do is read the instructions on how to install it and use it. That right there will help you a lot. Granted there are some mods out there that do not have any instructions or if there are instructions they are not that good. If so, make a thread and tell people what you downloaded and ask for help. Secondly, before you install the mod back up the files that you are replacing. This is very important. After you do this for awhile it becomes a habit.

Good work Matt. I sure wish I would have thought of it. Just remember, everyone was new to this and how to install mods. It is not something you will learn in a week but you will get more familiar as you go on.

Ok, I will try to get things started here before the real experts see this. Here is what we need to know. A. What version of Windows do you have? B. What kind of controller is this? The name and the model is what I am looking for. It sounds to me that whatever it is it does not work with Mvp 2005. I use a Logitech Dual gamepad and I bought it on Amazon. I bought a used one because I wasn't paying fifty bucks for something like this. The used ones have much more reasonable prices and I have not have one single problem with mine. I also have another controller that I use when I am downstairs and no one is home so I can blast it as loud as I want. It is called the Saitek P880 Gamepad and I have had that one since the game came out. When you extract a file you are uncompressing it. These files in here are either in .ZIP, .RAR or .7Z format. These are all compressed files. First work on getting this controller issue fixed.

Total Classics 1984 Continued

I love updating this thread because it means that another total conversion mod was released. This time it is the 1984 mod which you can download by following this link right here. The same modding team that produced the 1958 mod and the 1941 mod are responsible for this one too so you know right there that mod is going to be good even before you install it because Jim825 and DennisJames71 were behind it. Personally I do not think there is enough I can say about the contributions these two modders have given to this game and the best thing that they can get from all the work they have done is a thank you and maybe some feedback. Sadly this hardly happens and since I've touched on this in the past this is all I will say about it here because this is all about the 1984 mod and what is in it. As always, installing these mods onto your hard drive is extremely easy. Please have a clean (or fresh) and unmodded version of Mvp baseball available and all you have to do is direct the installer as to where you want it installed and you are finished. The 1984 season is all set and ready to go. One thing you have to say about Jim and Dennis is that they pick seasons that have stuck out for one reason or another. The Dimaggio streak in 1941, Ted Williams' final average, Brooklyn's first pennant in twenty-one years made for a great mod. And the 1958 mod that had for the first time ever two California teams and the only reason why that happened was because the National League turned their backs on the city of New York. But, 1984. What a year. The Detroit Tigers played like they were competing against single A ball teams all year. By winning thirty-five of their first forty games they effectively ended any race for the AL East crown for the remainder of the year. Not until 1985 did teams in that division feel like they had a chance. That is how dominate Detroit was. With the acquisition of Rick Sutcliffe at the trading deadline the Chicago Cubs really took off and won the NL East division, their first ever. Sutcliffe went 16 - 1 for Chicago and won the NL Cy Young award. Not bad for someone who for the first few months of that year was in the American League. In New York twenty-three year old Don Mattingly of the Yankees and Dwight Gooden, who was only nineteen, were just getting started. As with every single season mod I have played the first thing I notice is the music that is chosen for that mod. That is very important for me. What For example, say if you are going to play a game in the 1941 mod and as soon as you get in to it you hear Smoke on the Water by Deep Purple. It doesn't belong. The proper music for any mod is very important and the music they picked here was perfect. Pat Benetar, Van Halen, Huey Lewis and John Cafferty, just to name four. The top artists of that year. Now you are ready for some baseball, 1984 style. The uniforms were made by Dennis James so that means they look even better than the actual ones worn thirty years ago and if you take a look at photos of the Seattle Mariners and Oakland A's players at this time you will agree. You'll also get a chance to play some games in beautiful Tiger Stadium and classic Yankee Stadium. There are many old stadiums in both leagues that are not around anymore but still stand strong in this mod and thanks to Dennis James they all look great. I played an exhibition game at Wrigley Field in Chicago between the Expos and the Cubs and like we will be seeing very soon when the season opens, the ball was flying out of that ballpark and a lot of runs were scored. I almost didn't want the game to end because it was so good and the Cubs just held on in the ninth to beat Montreal by a run. The overall appearance in this game is wonderful. The overlay made by Trues is a carbon copy of the graphic that NBC Sports had during that time. Nothing flashy or overdone. All it did was tell you the score, count, the inning and how many were out. What else did you need to know? Like I do with other mods that I play I have a baseball reference book nearby when I am playing because I am always asking myself "whatever happened to..." and then I pause the game and look up the player. That's what I asked myself about Leon Durham, the big first baseman of the Cubs. He had a hell of a year that season but was out of the game for good five years later. This is one thing I personally recommend to people who enjoy playing these mods. Final verdict for this mod: I am forced to settle for five stars here even though this deserves many more. Thank you Jim and Dennis and every single modder who contributed to this. Welcome to Total Classics 1984!

That's good to know, for how you got the game and now having the game work for you. You will love this game. Have fun.

You got extremely lucky. I'm happy for you. Ok, the Mvp 13 mod is fine. You should be able to overwrite the roster that is in that mod with the 2014 one with no problem. As far as the schedule goes there are more steps to it as Dylan explained only because of the Houston move to the American League.

Just curious, how much did you pay for this game? Now what total conversion mod did you download? We have a lot of them. You overwrote the new rosters to the DATADATABASE directory? And what new rosters did you get, the latest one by Yyhmst? Same for the schedule. But did you also read the instructions for Dylan's 2014 schedule?

I don't know man, it sounded like you did everything right to me.

Keine Sorge, diese Menschen können nichts tun

This week we look at one of the first audio modders we had on this website and another modder who has made a lot of good looking cyberfaces for 2K11 and 2K12. Our behind the scenes modder is another of the talented people who contributed their time and talents to Total Classics when it was starting out. 63Impala Among the cyberfaces and portraits that he created here, 63Impala was one of the first modders here to work on the game's audio. His contributions can be found and heard in the Mvp '06, '07 and '08 mods. And if any of you have multiple mods installed on your system you may want to check out how good the portraits he made for the EA Legends and Heroes teams, which are listed below. Mvp Legends Portraits. Mvp Heroes Portraits. Rogers Centre Audio. Requested Audio Version 1. Detroit Style Detroit Style created many impressive cyberfaces for the MLB2K11 and 2K12 game that have been downloaded over the years. With four pages of downloads to his credit he created many of the most popular players for the users of that game. The featured cyberfaces below give a glimpse on how talented he was. For MLB2K12 The MLB Experience (overlay.) The ESPN Experience (overlay) v1.1. Steven Strasburg. R.A. Dickey. Yu Darvish. For Mvp 2005 MVP12 Portrait Pack v2.0 Behind the Scenes Kapnkirk13 One of the most visible aspects about any mod that has been released here is the uniforms that are put in it and Kapnkirk 13 was a big part of the uniforms process in the making of the Total Classics series. He did have a a few mods posted on the website but two of them are offline. This mod right here gives you a good idea of the things Kapnkirk did to improve the look of the uniforms during the time he was active here.

No, don't worry about it. You didn't do anything wrong. It's not a problem at all. You'll be surprised at how often this happens. If you want to just go over to that thread and ask your question, but there is one thing you need to be aware of. The guy that made that roster is Japanese and that is his primary language.

Updated to 3-23 ...Rolando McClain is trying to get back in the NFL after abruptly retiring last year for what he said were personal reasons and partially because he was arrested more times than he made a tackle last year. Soon after he was signed by the Baltimore Ravens McClain was arrested for the third time, this one for disorderly conduct and also for resisting arrest. Convinced he was being picked on he told the Ravens he was quitting and now he wants to come full circle. It is amazing how fast you can change your mind as soon as your money runs out. ...Not to long ago a pit bull attacked and mauled a four-year-old little boy from Phoenix, Arizona so bad that the child received injuries that, according to his doctors, are so severe that they will require months and possibly years of reconstructive surgeries. The pitbull responsible for this was taken away and at a hearing that is scheduled to be held later this week a judge may decide if the dog is to be euthanized. But just like most things these days if you create a Facebook page and post a convincing sob story you will get people to support what you are saying and that's what happened here as over 40,000 people have joined in a campaign to save the dog's life. The people that want the dog to live are not saying they value the dog's life above the child's. But at the same time maybe they should take a very close look at the damage this dog did to that boy's face, a face that never is going to be the same. It's easy to show mercy towards a pit bull when the child that he hurt is not a relation to you. I love dogs but my love does not extend towards this breed of dog. You can't them and then when you realize that you really can't trust them it is too late to do anything about it. ...I found out last week that this upcoming summer there is going to be a wedding in my family and that I am going to be invited to it. I am the kind of person that does not feel snubbed if I am not invited to the wedding reception. In fact if I could make a deal with anyone who is getting married not to invite me I promise I will still send a check. That's how much I don't want to go to these things. Towards the end of the week I got a minor scare when I was checking my e-mail. It was from the wedding party and the first thought I had was that I was going to be asked to be in the wedding but I quickly dismissed that because I realized that no one would be dumb enough to do that. Well, it wasn't that. What I got was an e-mail that was sent out to all the married guys and it contained a question. As a married man what advice would you give to the soon-to-be groom? Immediately you want to tell the guy to run for the hills and if I wanted to be brave and actually write that I would have a wedding party full of women mad at me. Besides, why should this guy get let off easy? I don't even know him. It didn't take long for me to think of something to tell him that would really help and at the same time keep me out of the doghouse. I told him that if there are errands to be run he should go out and do them by himself because if he does that it will take a lot less time and it will save him thousands of dollars each year. For example I had to go to the supermarket last week to get bread, a bag of salad, some salad dressing and tomatoes. I asked her if that was all that she needed and she told me that was all she wanted. So the next day I took a drive and got bread, a bag of salad, some salad dressing and tomatoes - and that was it. I was out so fast I could have left the car running. Do you think I could have got away with that had she tagged along? She would have found twenty more things to get while we were collecting the four things we came there for. I learned this lesson the hard way and if this guy who is getting married stops to think about it he'll realize I was right. ...There have been some stupid things written about President Obama since he has been in office and I'm not talking about anything that Sarah Palin is given credit for. I recall one time in the past he was criticized for swatting a fly during an interview and some people complained. Last week his name was brought up because the daughter of his former pastor was convicted of laundering thousands of dollars from a state grant for a Chicago-area job-training program. What she did had nothing to do with Obama but they still found a way to associate him with it. I hope for his case that no one in his kindergarten class is facing jail time because they'll find a way to make him an accomplice. ...Although I am not an owner of the Playstation 4 I happen to be a big fan of Sony in the console gaming department simply because they are not Microsoft. Sony has sold more than six million PS4's since the launch of the system back in November of last year and that is more than the Xbox One and the Wii U by Nintendo combined. I have nothing against Nintendo but anything that gives Microsoft a kick in the gonads is all right by me. ...In Flagrante Delicto*, Dept: It was nice outside during the early part of last week so my wife and I went outside and brought one of the dogs with us for a short walk. While we were walking there was this lady who lived down the street who, because a lot of the snow has melted in the front yards, was working in front of her house and she had on a very tight pair of jeans and was bending down picking up stuff. My wife caught me looking and of course had ask me what I was looking at. I knew I was busted but I had to think of something and fast. "I thought it was a lawn ornament left over from Christmas" I said, which was all I could come up with her staring me down. It wasn't enough. *Latin for "while the flame is still burning." It's a fancy way of saying someone was caught red-handed, like me. ...Ryan Braun is getting ready for the start of the season as the Brewers head north soon from Arizona. He said he didn't seem worried about what the fans around the league were going to say to him because he knows it will be severe at times. It probably will, especially in Arizona where they really have a special bond with him. That should have been all that he said but he had to continue. He said that he would perform like he always does because he wanted his work to speak for himself just like every artist should. Wow. Move over Van Gogh and Picasso. They are going to tear him apart this year. I can't wait until he gets to Philadelphia. And some of you thought that Alex Rodriguez had the market cornered with saying stupid things. ...The PS4 continues to get cooler and cooler. Last week Sony unveiled a Virtual Reality headset that is currently under development for their latest and extremely popular console system. They call it Project Morpheus and this headset will give players a high-definition, 3-D view of games and motion-tracking technology that allows players to pan their view around with the movement of their heads. It is still not known when the headset will be available for sale and also how much it will cost but if I were a PS4 owner I would start saving some money for this right now. ...Can you imagine if this headset was available when those Dead or Alive Volleyball games came out just a few short years ago? I'd have been in that game for so long that they would have had to forward my mail. ...Here's a nice little story that will either make you laugh or shake your head or both. Back in December a twenty-year-old college student hailed a cab in Chicago because she was supposed to meet some people at a restaurant that was less than two miles away from where she was. Once she got there she asked the cabbie if she could pay with her credit card and when she found out she could, she gave the guy her card. The card swiper in the cab was not working at the time so they used a phone device called The Square which is an application that allows merchants to charge customers through a mobile device. Her card was accepted through that and being the courteous person that she is, she told him to add a two dollar tip to it which is pretty nice considering the entire ride lasted a few minutes. So, the girl signs her name and goes on her way and thinks nothing more of it until she received her charge card statement the next month and found out that the cab ride which she thought cost her at least twelve dollars was actually $787.33. The first thing the girl and her mother did was contact VISA to complain about the charge but they told them they couldn't help or do anything because the girl had signed off on the transaction. The Chicago Police couldn't do anything about this either since a crime was not actually committed, although with the Chicago Police even if a crime was committed they couldn't do anything about it either. At first the cab driver was not helpful when he was contacted about this but as soon as the complaint reached Chicago's department of Business Affairs he suddenly became very helpful and tried to refund the money but was unable to since all he had left was the last four numbers of the card. This story does have a happy ending as the Business Affairs people got in touch with the people that ran that phone app and they are going to send her a check for the entire amount that she was charged. It was a hard lesson to learn but I am sure that she will be looking at every card transaction a lot closer now for the rest of her life because chances are she won't get bailed out like this again. ...Best wishes to Reds reliever Aroldis Chapman, who was hit right above the left eye by a vicious line drive off the bat of Kansas City's Salvador Perez in a spring exhibition game in Arizona last Wednesday. If you have not seen the video of this yet here is the link to the ESPN article that has a video of it. Believe me, it is something that you only want to see once. Chapman had to undergo surgery where they placed a metal plate above his left eyebrow and it will remain there permanently. This is probably going to confuse the hell out of TSA officials for the remainder of his career. The Reds team doctor said he could start to throw off a mound in about six to eight weeks and maybe get back out on the field near the end of May. That's all well and good but I don't imagine that throwing on the sideline or in the bullpen is going to bother him. It's when he finally gets back on the mound that the real test begins. And don't forget about Perez, the guy who hit the ball. This is going to affect him too. I wish them both well. ...I am surprised but at the same time grateful that this does not happen more often. Sure there's been some similar injuries to pitchers over the past few seasons and there's been even more close calls. And how about the college game? Those jokers make the pitchers face hitters holding aluminum bats. Talk about an accident waiting to happen. ...Richie Incognito, everyone's favorite teammate, has expressed interest on joining the Oakland Raiders because he thinks that by becoming a Raider it would fit his personality the best. The Raiders, to their credit, have not said they felt the same way about him but you never know. It's still early. I know one thing for sure that if he does go to Oakland no one on that team is going to let him know what his twitter account is.

No, I have this file. Daflyboys told me to give this to people who wanted to use it to make rosters. This isn't a file that everyone will have access to. If you would like it just let me know.
