  1. BaseUp! Rosters is the name that the modder called his roster set. That isn't for androids. In fact no mods here on this website are for androids. I hope this clears this up for you. Post if you have more questions.
  2. I obviously was and I'm glad you picked up on that. Now if Dylan Bradbury was still around he would be the person to ask about creating schedules. Of course he has made his schedules for Mvp Baseball but he still had to have a way to do it.
  3. Have you actually tried to look for one yet? There has been a link for one on the main page for a couple of days now.
  4. I want everyone to know that this guy is a Sneaky Bastard. And as a ten-year veteran here too I have to agree with every word you wrote. There may be disagreements from time to time but everyone here is welcome all the time. One final thing. You are always welcome to post. Always!
  5. That's it then. ESPN has a different camera crew and they are not under the orders of the management of the Yankees.
  6. No Sabugo, it is set in stone. On the Yankees you can't have a beard but a mustache is allowed. Ron Guidry for instance had one his entire career. Also your hair must be a certain length too and trimmed. That's just how they do it. I don't if you had access to the YES Network but when Burnett was pitching they never showed a close-up of his arms. You know how sometimes they have the camera on a pitcher to show his grip on the ball? Never with Burnett. That was partly because of his tattooed arms and partly because they knew as soon as he threw the ball he'd be giving up another hit and the camera would be on the opposing team running around the bases. I won't either because the way I see it this is a mod that I will never use because I don't have 2k12. I like Mvp too much to try this game out. However I think that when a mod is made it should be as accurate as possible. I mean if I was a stadium modder and I was updating Wrigley Field for example I would try to make it look like Wrigley as much as possible. I wouldn't get rid of the ivy and in place of it plaster advertisements for my website on the walls instead. That's not the real Wrigley Field.
  7. What the hell, I'd still play it.
  8. Good news! I just got confirmation that the 2014 schedule for MLB2k12 will be released in October. Ok, now you guys know.
  9. I'm telling you Mac you can lose yourself in baseball books. Two books you may like are Baseball in '41 by Robert W. Creamer and Luckiest Man - The Life and Death of Lou Gehrig by Jonathan Eig. You won't go wrong with either one of them.
  10. Yeah, it's not the worst thing that's ever happened here. Far from it.
  11. No, because if people see this thread then maybe they won't make one of their own because this topic has been brought up a lot recently in here. I hope it gets fixed soon.
  12. Why did you make a separate thread about a question you asked before in another thread? It makes no sense and please refrain from this in the future.
  13. It sure was but I think it really described the friendship those teammates had and how the friendship lasted for the remainder of their lives.
  14. Um, what?
  15. This week we look at a modder who created a very popular set of uniforms when Mvp first came out and a modder who basically did a little bit of everything. More on that later. Our Behind the Scenes modder is another in a long list of people who helped make the season mods in here look better with the cyberfaces that he contributed. Umachines Not long after the release of MVP in February of 2005 Umachines began to create the very first full, redone, updated and improved uniform set made for this game. Unfortunately all of his individual mods (or packs as he referred to them) are no longer available for individual download with the exception of the one I have listed below. The reason for this is a lot of the mods up to a certain point in time in 2005 were not transferred over during the many server changes that have happened here. I am someone who downloaded his work when it was available for download and believe me this guy knew his stuff. A lot of his later work can be seen in the popular Mvp Caribe series, which is a big reason why that mod is so popular. Toronto Blue Jays Pack 2005. This is the only individual uniform pack made by Umachines currently on the website. World Series 05 Special Pack. Special updated uniforms for the White Sox and Astros. LVBP- Full and Retro Pack for Mvp Caribe. LVBP is the Liga Venezolana de beisbol profesional, the Venezuelan professional baseball league. For MLB2k9 2k9 AL East Caps Set 1.2. This is one in a series of six covering all thirty teams. For MLB2k11 All Star Game Special Set. Big Shmooz Big Shmooz was a modder who dabbled in many things. He made roster sets, cyberfaces, portraits and a very good datafile (listed below.) But what he was mostly well known for was saving time for thousands of users by compiling the uniform sets of the top three uniform makers during that period and packaging their uniforms up into one big download. This was so popular that the uniform set made by Umachines was downloaded over 32,000 times and Moser316 had his set downloaded over 25,000 times. KCcitystar had his uniform package downloaded over 6,500 times. You may wonder why there was such a low amount for his as compared to the other two but you have to keep in mind KC was the only modder of the three to upload his uniforms in one file. That's how KC's TotalMLB got its start. Big Shmooz Umachines Uniforms Models.big. Big Shmooz Moser316 Uniforms Models.big. Big Shmooz KcCitystar Uniforms Models.big. If anyone is interested in trying any of these mods out I recommend two things for you to do to for it to work properly. First you will need a fresh install of Mvp and secondly you will need Ultimate Rosters v 8.61 because that roster is required for each one of these mods. You can download that roster set right here. What made all three of these mods so popular was that Big Shmooz did all the downloading and installing of each set of uniforms that these three modders uploaded to the website and installed them into a copy of the game that he had and all the end user had to do was download this one file and they would have the complete uniform set. Needless to say this was very convenient. Big Shmooz datafile. Another popular choice for those looking to experiment with different datafiles. Behind the Scenes Cornny Cornny was a talented Taiwanese cyberface modder that created some of the most realistic cyberfaces that were part of the game. He mostly concentrated on Asian ballplayers and Asian mods but not all the time. His Johnny Damon cyberface he made after he joined the Yankees was spot-on. Same for the Daisuke Matsuzaka that he made. His full listing of his mods can be seen right here.
  16. Updated to 3-9 ...This past off season the Mariners made the biggest news by giving Robinson Cano a ten-year, $240 million contract to play second base for them but somehow Cano thinks that he now has the right to tell the Mariners what free agents they should go out and get. General Manager Cano wants the team to sign Ervin Santana and Kendrys Morales. The money involved in signing the two of them should not be a problem mainly because it won't be on Cano's dime. Spring training is only a couple of weeks old and already he is telling the front office how to do their job. What a helpful sort of guy he is. Pretty soon he'll want to start managing the ballclub too. ...Giancarlo Stanton is a pretty good outfielder for the Miami Marlins and probably one of the few decent players left on that team after Jeffrey Loria sent the rest of them to Canada during the 2012 off-season. To be truthful that is all I knew about him until I saw a picture of him that was taken about a week ago that made me realize immediately that this guy is an idiot. I've attached the picture here so you all can see for yourself and maybe after taking a look at it you'll also agree that he's an idiot. Now I don't know if this is an alligator or a crocodile. Does it matter? Look how close Stanton is to this thing. Those things are pretty fast and had it turned around and saw someone behind him the crocodile would have had a quick and easy lunch and the Marlins would have had one less outfielder. ...Did anyone happen to see that 75-foot putt that Paula Creamer sunk to win the HSBC Women's Championship in Singapore ? It was a thing of beauty and it could not have happened to a more nicer woman than her. This clip is sure to make the top sports highlights once this list is compiled at the end of the year and despite what happens between now and then this is always going to be a highlight people are going to stop and watch whenever its on. I have never seen anyone make that long of a putt. I made a fifty-nine footer once but that doesn't count. That was on the computer. ...There is something that I do not understand about people who post pictures of themselves on the internet doing something that if they stopped and thought for one second would realize that what they are doing in not a good idea. The quintessential of this is the female soldier who for reasons known only to herself decided to get in her car and hide out in it just so she would not have to salute the flag. She uploads the picture and lets basically the entire world know what she is doing and tells them to save their comments because she doesn't care, only she used stronger language. If she didn't feel like saluting she could have got away with it without anyone knowing about it but what she did was the equivalent of shooting yourself in the foot and just in case that wasn't enough, shooting yourself in the other foot just to be sure. The chain of command at the Fort Carson, Colorado Army post where this soldier is stationed have not commented much what she did and only said that they are aware of it and are looking into it. Now I have a question for all the ex-military and current military members on this website. When the Army makes that kind of comment that only means one thing: she's screwed. In the Army it's called the stockade. The Naval term is brig. No matter what branch of service you are in you want to avoid these two places although for this woman that will be impossible. Maybe the next time she takes a picture of herself she'll be doing it behind bars. ...It seems that the Red Sox's "Boston Strong" logo was actually stolen, Boston style. That's when they take want and not worry about it. You see, there is a charity down in El Paso, Texas that actually trademarked “B Strong” seven years ago and they are now considering taking legal action against the Red Sox in an attempt to reclaim sole possession of the logo. This particular charity provides financial assistance to multiple organizations in the El Paso area and was formed in honor and memory of a young boy who died tragically in a skiing accident. Now it seems to me that since this organization had this logo for all these years now that the legal team for the Red Sox would have discovered that it has already been in use and that a trademark was on it. What I think happened -and it would not surprise me at all if it did happen like this- is that the Red Sox lawyers told the team to go ahead and use it because they are bigger than some charity from a small town in Texas. The reason for this lawsuit is that the "B Strong" logo in Boston has taken away attention and potential donations from the charity in Texas and the worst part is that the Red Sox have sold that logo on T-shirts and other merchandise and the money that they made from those sales were given to different charities but not the one in Texas. This tells me that the Sox knew what they were doing ever since the first day they slapped the Boston Strong logo on the Green Monster at Fenway. Can you imagine if this was the other way around and the Red Sox trademarked that logo first and a small town organization decided to use it? They'd have their lawyers on the phone threatening legal action until they made sure they scared them real good. ...Last week the Cleveland Browns announced that they will be getting new uniforms sometime before the 2015 draft and according to Browns team president Alec Scheiner these uniforms are going to be "cutting-edge." This isn't the first time I've heard this term used and I've never understood what it meant. What is cutting edge and what does that have to do with uniforms? Well whatever it means here the Browns are going to keep it under wraps until a year from now when they have their grand unveiling. Then they can mark up their replica jerseys 15% because they're cutting edge. ...Why is it that the lousy teams like the Browns and just recently the Buccaneers seem more concerned with their uniforms rather than the players that wear them? After this season Tampa Bay is going to have another losing record. They'll just look different doing it. ...The entitlement that some kids have sometimes borders on the ridiculous and if you don't agree that after reading this that this girl does not deserve a slap in the head (or more) then I really don't know what else to say. An eighteen-year-old girl in New Jersey is suing her parents because she has claimed that they threw her out of their home and cut her off financially. Don't you just hate it when that happens? She is suing them for immediate support, current private-school fees and future college tuition. In other words, everything. Mom and Dad claim that their adoring daughter moved out on her own free will because she refused to abide by their rules. They said that they want her home but she is demanding that they pay her bills even though she doesn't want to live at home under their rules which are in part having her think long and hard about continuing a relationship with a boyfriend that may be a bad influence, being respectful and abiding by a set curfew. Wow, after reading that you can see why she left home. Who can live under conditions like that? It has been a few months now that this girl has not lived with her parents but it's not like she's been out on the streets. Not even close. She's been living with her best friend whose father just happens to be a lawyer and he has been bankrolling her lawsuit and just to turn the knife even more, part of the lawsuit is that the girl's parents reimburse him for the legal fees, which are now over $12,000 and climbing. How do you like that? This guy wants them to foot the bill for a lawsuit directed at them. I think right about this time I would have been fuming. Basically what this girl wants is for the court to tell her parents to support her financially in every way while she still does whatever she wants to do. Just when you thought that the Gimmee generation couldn't do anything more to make themselves look more pathetic they end up proving you wrong by pulling a stunt like this. I hope this girl gets smacked in the face with a huge helping of reality and then after that get smacked the old-fashioned way. ...No matter what this won't end well and that's what I feel bad about the most. I just know if that was my kid that was suing me for all that money I would not feel the same towards her ever again despite winning or losing the case and it would be more about her total lack of regard towards me than the dollars and cents part. I really feel for these parents. ...Hold that Eulogy, Dept: When a coroner down in Holmes County, Mississippi received a phone call from a hospice nurse about a seventy-eight-year-old man who passed away and then another call from a family member of the man to confirm it, he thought no more about it since calls like this are very common in a business like that . The coroner and a representative from a funeral home drove to the deceased's home to collect the body for funeral preparations and while they were there, checked the body for a pulse before they put the man in a body bag for his ride to the funeral home. Once they got there they brought the dearly departed to the embalming room to prepare the body for viewing. What happened next was something straight out of The Twilight Zone. Right before they were to start work on the body, the bag moved. Then it moved again. Then his legs started to move like he was trying to kick his way out of the bag. Now either this guy was the world's heaviest sleeper or someone made a mistake because this man was breathing and he wanted out of that bag. The coroner immediately called an ambulance and after hooking him to monitors they confirmed that he was in fact breathing. Why they couldn't tell that just by looking at him I don't know. They had to depend on a monitor to confirm what they were looking at. In a way this story almost reminds me of the guy in Brazil who showed up at his own wake and scared the hell out of his family. Can you imagine what the family of the deceased-and-now-alive-again man were doing after the coroner drove off with the body? Phone calls were made to people in town and around the country letting them know what happened and many tears must have been shed because of the loss of their loved one. But wait...hold that Kleenex! They get a call from the funeral home to inform them that they couldn't embalm the body because all of a sudden he started to breathe again and that people that are alive usually do not like to be embalmed. Then all the phone calls that they made to let everyone know of the poor guy's passing had to be re-made all over again this time to tell them that his condition improved and they were not going to believe by how much. And I guarantee you that after they heard this news and the shock of their relative being alive that they had to forget to call someone back to let them know he's still alive. As for the man himself, God knows what's going through his mind after he found out what happened to him but I think one thing's for certain. For the rest of his life every time he falls asleep he's going to pray that he wakes up in his room and not in the morgue. ...I'll tell you what the state of Massachusetts avoided a huge problem last week. First a guy who was caught taking Upskirt photos of women avoided any jail time when his lawyer exploited a loophole in the law and was able to get his case dismissed in front of the top court in the state. Soon after that the sale of cameras in Massachusetts tripled. But that did not last long as the state's legislators quickly got together to write a bill that banned this kind of thrill seeking behavior and was immediately signed by Governor Deval Patrick. Now these people who engaged in this stuff have two choices to make. They can focus their interests on something that won't get them arrested or if they still insist on taking pictures of women in compromising positions they can always apply for a job at the TSA, since they have the law behind them when they do the same thing. ...R.I.P. to Doctor Frank Jobe who passed away at the age of eighty-eight last Thursday. Jobe was the brilliant surgeon that performed reconstructive elbow surgery on Dodger pitcher Tommy John back in 1974. That surgery today is known as Tommy John surgery and it has saved the careers of many ballplayers over the past forty years. ...Daylight saving time arrives this weekend so if you are up right now as this is posted turn your clocks ahead one hour. ...Finally, Yogi Berra's wife died last week. She was living in an assisted living facility in New Jersey because of complications of a stoke that she suffered earlier this year. My condolences go out to the entire Berra family but what stood out for me was how long these two people were married. Back in January they celebrated their 65th wedding anniversary and how many people can you say have done that?
  17. Go ahead and try it. And when your game crashes you'll know why.
  18. And just when I thought I was starting to like the guy.
  19. Oh don't get me started! I occasionally try to convert people over to MVP in here because of my dislike of how 2K made that game and taking away the baseball license from EA, although EA is not innocent either. If you had Mvp you'd love it and I promise you that Carlos Moncrief will not bother you one bit if you had that game. Our roster makers know how to put these bums in their place.
  20. Seriously I could not resist making a joke about this. I even had to google to find out who Carlos Moncrief was since I honestly never heard of him. I hope you can get this fixed and I sure wish I could help you but I don't own 2k12.
  21. I've always hated Carlos Moncrief.
  22. Well that's good. We always need more of them around here. Enjoy the website!
  23. None of these guys have actually played a major league game yet, correct? Or if they have it has only been a handful of them. There is no set formula to rate these guys. Basically you have to wait until they get enough time in the major leagues to see how good of a player they are because a formula is nothing but a scientific guess.
  24. Windows 7 is a good version of Windows to have. I don't mind upgrading but I don't want to lose the ability to play these games. I miss the old DOS games and those were useless until I got them to work with DOSbox and now I am playing them again too. I would love to have a laptop that had Windows 3.1 on it. I wouldn't care if it had internet connection. Just a CD drive and I'd be all set.
