Ok this is what I did for you. I went into the original roster for Mvp and grabbed his attributes for you. Keep in mind that these are ratings based on his 2004 season with Oakland when he went 17 - 8. I hope this helps a little. Mark Mulder Stamina 95 (with these ratings 100 is the highest) Pickoff 85 PITCHES Splitter 91 4-Seam Fastball 84 Slider 83 Changeup 80 2-Seam Fastball 76 BATTING ATTRIBUTES Power vs. LHP 25 Contact vs. LHP 21 Power vs. RHP 24 Contact vs. RHP 30 Bunting 65 Plate Discipline 20 Fielding and Running Attributes Durability 85 Speed 47 Stealing aggressiveness 10 Baserunning ability 20 Fielding 60 Range 55 Throwing Strength 70 Throwing Accuracy 70

Your bad?? No way man. This was my bad all the way and twice on Sundays! While my advice on how to get Mulder's realistic stats was correct I was way off the mark by telling you what game to get this information from. I would like to give you my apologies and I am sorry once again for not knowing what game you were talking about even though you posted your question in the correct forum! I'd like to make a joke and say I need glasses but I already have them. Now, let's get back to your Mulder question. Mulder only appeared in three games in 2008 for the Cardinals so there is not much of a chance he would have made it in the 2k9 game. And there was no chance of him on any roster in 2k10, 11 or 12. Now I get why you are having a hard time getting his stats.
-
You have to search and when I say that I strongly advise it. It took me two minutes to find Mark Mulder. All I did was look up his playing stats and the years he was active. Then I saw that during the 2004 off season he was traded by Oakland to St. Louis. That meant that he was on the Cardinal roster in the default out-of-the-box roster that came with the game. You can get all his stats right there or on roster sets released during that same time period on this website. That's it.
-
I actually have to quote myself here and after this is done I hope you can get back to doing what you were doing before. That's all you had to do. Click on that and send an e-mail. Don't try to solve this problem by creating another account because that will cause a problem that will take 180 days to remedy.

Like I will say for the final time no one "gave you" anything on purpose and no one suspended your account. If this ever happens again it is advisable that you do not create another account and instead contact someone here.

Can You Import Your Music In Mvp2013?
Yankee4Life replied to jimmer99's topic in Total Conversion Mods
Yes you can. Download this mod right here and use the Ditty Importer. What you do is you get an mp3 of a song you want to use and it will convert it to the format the game uses. After it is converted you will be able to place it in your game. The Loclook program is if you want to edit the song titles in the game to show the proper name of the new song. -
I don't understand this at all. There is nothing wrong with your account. I just checked it and double checked it. I saw the screenshot that you posted about your inability to gain access in here but instead of contacting someone here on the staff you created a second account and you know how well that is received around here. You ignored where it said "contact the community administrator" and that is clearly displayed on the screenshot that you provided. That is how you do things and not by creating another account. Forum rules are in place not just for new users but for everyone. I don't know if you read the rules of this website or not but that's not the issue anymore. Again, there was nothing wrong with your original account. Your second account was suspended. Your first account (Jed) was not.

You're welcome! And I hope you had a nice Christmas and while I am at it I wish you a happy and safe New Year to you and the daflyboys family.

This week we look at a modder who was closely associated with the making of cyberfaces and a modder who released most of his work for the original X-Box version of the game but still managed to create two wonderful versions of classic stadiums. Veesmack Veesmack is another modder here whose work is more familiar with users than the person behind it. Many of the cyberfaces he has made are included in the Total Classics mods such as Roberto Clemente, Duke Snider and Bob Lemon but later on he did create some very good uniform sets that he released only a few short years ago. Compiled MVP Baseball batting stances wallpapers. Screen captures of all 66 batting stances. This mod was made with roster makers in mind so that they can view the images without playing the game to see what the stances look like. 2011 Rangers Alternate Jersey 1.0. 2012 Miami Marlins Home and Alternate jerseys. HardcoreLegend HardcoreLegend made many X-box users happy with his stadium and uniform releases he made for that game during the time Mvp 2005 first came out but his best work was his total makeover of Metropolitan Stadium in Minnesota because it put the EA version of the same ballpark to shame. The only regret is that besides the 1960's version of Sportsman's Park in St. Louis (shown below) he did not make any more ballparks. 1960's Metropolitan Stadium. Early 1960's Sportsman's Park. 1954 New York Giants away uniforms. Behind the Scenes Tony3 Tony3 is another guy that is closely associated with Total Classics as he provided audio work for that mod that of course is still part of it today even with the Legends of the Booth mod included with most Total Classics seasons now. He also created his own roster set called the Stats Roster that was available for download when the game first came out. All of his mods can be viewed by following this link right here.

That about sums it up Dennis but believe me when I say that there were no Elly Mae's down there. -
Then you are more than welcome to take the time to make a cyberface of Alex Cobb that meets to your approval.

Random Thoughts On A Sunday Morning Updated To 11-24
Yankee4Life replied to Yankee4Life's topic in Left Field (Off-Topic)
Updated to 12-29 ...I hope that everyone had a nice Christmas and after you finish reading what I went through last week you'll understand why I am so happy that Christmas is over and that I am back home safe and sound in a home where beds don't hate me and couches do not sag to two feet off the floor when you sit on them. Read on if you care to but remember something very important. Every word of this is true. December 24th: We took off from home around 10:15 am and I was having my doubts about us making it down to Binghamton, New York which I consider my personal hell. The weather was not agreeing with us as we left and there were four parts on our way down route 17 that had slippery roads, blowing snow and tractor-trailer trucks flying by you that temporarily blinded you with snow as you drove. There were times when I was driving forty miles an hour because of these conditions and my wife asked me if we should turn around and go home. I told her that we should just try to go at it a little longer and maybe we'd catch a break but what I said to myself was entirely different because if she really wanted to know what I thought I'd have told her I didn't want to be driving down there at all. Besides, if we turned around and went home she would have pestered me about going there again and I just wanted to get it over with. About ten minutes before we reached Corning, New York we caught a huge break. The weather cleared up and for the last ninety minutes we had clear roads and no snow for the rest of the way there. That was the final thing that went right for me until I packed my bag on Saturday morning to say goodbye to everyone. My wife's sister also came to town for the holidays and her plane was delayed for an hour for a reason that was never explained to me. I like seeing her but at the same time I knew this would cause a bit of a problem as far as sleeping was concerned. Since I planned on doing a lot of while I was there this was something that worried me because of the lack of space in that house. Before I go on I better explain. My mother-in-law, above all other things, is a wonderful person and I love and respect her very much. She is a good woman who is very giving and takes care of all her kids very well. That being said she is also a pack-rat. If you have ever seen that reality show Hoarders that will give you an example of what I had to live through for four days. Granted it was not as bad as you see on that TV show but she could give them a run for their money. I was forever knocking something over because things were in piles and sometimes if you turned around to get something without thinking something would knock over and I'd have to stop and pick up my mess while swearing under my breath. There are times when I walked in that house over the years and I literally thought the house would explode because of all the stuff in it. I like keeping my house clean but every time I come back from there I spend days looking around for things to get rid of and after my wife goes back to work I'll find something. Christmas Eve night we were all together and I'm looking around and I wonder to myself about what we were going to eat. Now I don't say much down there because I am respectful of their feelings and if I am asked a question about something like if I was comfortable I don't want to slip up and tell them the truth that I along with everyone else would have more room and be more comfortable if you threw some *&%# out. Well, my wife's niece wondered the same thing but she actually said it out loud. The truth was there was nothing and around 7:00 p.m. they decided to order a pizza and for the next hour they called all over the place and surprise!! no one picked up the phone. Of course no one's answering I said to myself. They are all closed for Christmas! Finally after an hour of dialing for pizza they hit paydirt and found a Papa John's open and that is what we had to eat on Christmas Eve. No egg nog, no cookies, no homemade goodies. Just pizza. December 25th: I was up with the sun. Not because I was excited about the day ahead but because I could not sleep on the bed that my wife and I had to sleep on. This bed we had was two single beds put together to make one bed and there was not a lot of room on it if you consider having three dogs on it with you that think they all own the bed. Something had to give and that something was me. I was forced to go downstairs to sleep on the chair and after actually nodding off for awhile I woke up with a stiff neck, courtesy of the chair. My wife came down soon after and let the dogs out and then she let me go upstairs in the bed while she stayed down there. The bed was even worse than the chair because after getting a few more hours of sleep I woke up with an invisible knife in my back. And I still had three nights to go until I got home. There were no calls for pizza on this day because there was a home cooked meal that we enjoyed around 3 pm. I remember it was at 3 pm because someone had to wake me up for it because I nodded off while they were watching an Elvis Presley movie. All we did on Christmas Day was watch TV and that continued into Thursday and Friday. I never watched so much Law and Order as I did during the time I spent there and I hope I never have to again. The dinner itself was something else. We didn't sit at a table because the tables in the house had stuff piled on them and if all four of us pitched in together to take everything off the table we wouldn't of had dinner until Valentine's Day. So we sat where we could. On the couch, on a chair, one person in the kitchen. This is not how we would have Christmas dinners at my house and I did not like it one bit but again I did not say anything and I even ate the ham that was made even though I am not a big fan of ham. December 26th: The best thing about December 26th was that it was one day closer to going home. Now if you have been reading this random thoughts thread each week you will remember that a few weeks back I wrote that I don't like chicken wings that much. And that explains why I remained at home while my wife, her niece and her sister went to go have chicken wings at some local dive and how with the combination of chicken wings and beer it caused a huge fight. It seems that my wife's sister had one too many and she started calling my wife a spoiled brat and her niece the same thing. Other things were said but I really didn't want to ask too many questions but everything revolved around the two of them being spoiled. My wife's sister makes good money so she says that kind of stuff when she's had a few. I've never been a target for her comments only because I don't go out drinking with them or anyone else for that matter because I don't drink. She knows damned well I am not spoiled and besides she's envious of me because I am retired. (I was forced to retire a few years back because of a disability.) I did not learn about all of this until much later in the evening because while this was happening I was at my mother-in-law's house watching everything that she had recorded on her DVR. The woman records the news three times a day and watches it. Don't ask me why. I watched reality shows that I never heard of. At least I got to watch a couple of episodes of Cold Case. At least that was enjoyable. Everything was fine until the residual from the bar argument walked through the door around 7:00 pm. Between all the yelling and you-said-this and you-said-that that was going on it was hard to figure out what happened and why. I wrote this down in detail now but believe me it took me awhile to figure out what happened. My wife looked at me at one point and asked me why when things like this happen how come I am always lucky to never be around? I told her I don't know but that's how it always has been. That made her more mad. December 27th: My last full day there. It was the first time I left the house not counting the times I had to let the dogs out. My wife, her sister and I went out to lunch. The spoiled brat comments from the day before were forgotten and it was like it never happened. We went to a place were they brewed their own beer on site and that was the main attraction because the food there was terrible. Even the lemonade they served me tasted funny. But it was how they ran the place that stood out for me. A girl escorted us to our tables where the menus were waiting for us to look over and that was the last we saw of her because we had to go up to the bar to tell them what we wanted for lunch, pay for it there and then they gave us a hand held device that would make a buzzing vibrating sound when the order was ready. That meant we had to go up and get our own lunch and bring it back to our table. I have never been in a place that did that and I did not like it at all. I didn't leave a tip because there was not an option available for me to tip myself. As soon as lunch was over they dropped me off at home because they were going out to do some serious shopping and if they dragged me along I would have done some serious crying. It was a good thing they did because they were gone five hours. There's only one mall in that two-bit town but they hit every store there. My wife got one hundred dollars from her mother for Christmas and it must have been burning a hole in her purse because she spent the entire thing on clothes that she didn't need. While they were out running around in the mall it was my mother-in-law and me again watching TV and this time she was the first one to fall asleep watching TV. The other day it was me so we ended up in a tie. December 28th This was my Christmas because at 9:30 am yesterday we were on our way home. I knew I was going to get my first good night's sleep since last Monday and I didn't think I could last another day. Our ride home was sunny, clear and dry and I had the cruise control on the entire way. We made great time. My wife didn't admit it while she was there but her back hurt as bad as mine. And that was how I spent Christmas. I may not like the clutter in that house and the lack of space it causes but there is no mistake that there is love in that house and that's all that really matters. ...You kind of had an idea that the Yankees weren't going to get anywhere near Sin-Soo Choo. He's thirty-one and they can't be wasting their time on kids. They'll wait until his seven-year contract with the Rangers runs out before offering him a contract and then they'll try to convince Yankee fans that Choo's best years are ahead of him. ...It's nice that Kevin Youkilis decided to play next year in Japan because after stealing twelve million dollars from the Yankees just so he could spend more time in a hospital room instead of the dugout, I didn't think there would have been anyone dumb enough in the American or National Leagues to take a chance on him. Now he gets to steal money from the same Japanese team that is playing games by being reluctant to post right handed pitcher Masahiro Tanaka to the major leagues. ...The man who invented the AK-47 assault rifle, the world's most popular firearm, died last week in Russia at the age of 94 and gun nuts all over fired rounds into the air in observance of his death. It all depends on your point of view if this invention was a good or a bad thing but an excellent question can be raised in that did this weapon save more lives or end more lives? ...India and the United States have been going through a diplomatic tiff right now because the U.S. arrested an Indian diplomat and charged her with visa fraud and after her arrest she was strip-searched in a private room by a female U.S. marshal. The last part here, the strip-search, is what really has that country hotter than any of the cuisines that they put out. India wants an apology for the way their diplomat was treated even though there is strong evidence that what the U.S. authorities did was justified. I'm kind of hoping that the United States ends up apologizing to them because can you imagine if we don't how the level of technical support is going to be the next time you got to call there? ...Dennis Rodman is having a hard time convincing all the players on the American team that it's safe to go to North Korea for an exhibition game against a North Korean team in honor of Kim Jong Un's birthday next month. I don't blame the NBA players at all for their hesitancy to go there since it's probably in the back of their mind that they may be forced to stay awhile after the games are done or even worse be mistaken for a relative. ...Because the upcoming Super Bowl will be the first one to be played in an outdoor, cold weather site (Giants Stadium, February 2nd) the NFL has come up with what they call "contingency plans" just in case someone's bad idea to allow the game to be played there turns into a really bad idea where the game has to be moved to Saturday, back a few days, or even postponing it one week. The FOX network and all the advertisers that had to pay through the nose are really going to love it if this happens. ...R.I.P. to Paul Blair. He was a very good centerfielder for the Orioles and Yankees. His single in the top of the ninth in game five of the 1977 A.L.C.S. at Kansas City paved the way for the Yankees to score three runs in that inning as they won their second straight A.L. pennant that year and their first World Series since 1962. ...I hope everyone has a happy and safe New Year! -

Ted Kluszewski A highly popular player, Ted 'Big Klu' Kluszewski was a powerful, slugging first baseman. He was a symbol of raw strength and probably was one of the strongest men ever to play in the major leagues. Big Klu's arm were so huge that he cut of the sleeves of his uniform because they were restricting his ability to swing the bat. In 1950, Kluszewski hit 25 homers, drove in 111 runs and hit .307 for the Cincinnati Reds. He seemed to get bigger and stronger the longer he played. In 1953, he hit 40 home runs, had 108 RBI's, scored 97 runs and batted .316 and even with all this power, Klu struck out only 34 times. In 1954, Ted Kluszewski led the National League with 49 home runs, 141 RBIs, .326 BA; and only struckout a total of 35 times. Again in 1955, Kluszewski powered 47 HR's, scored 116 runs, had 113 RBIs, and batted .314. Ted Kluszewski was still the Reds' strong boy and in 1956, he hit 35 HRs with 102 RBIs. His trade by the Reds to the Pittsburgh Pirates was met with boo's from his many loyal Red's fans. Playing for the White Sox, fans cheered for Big Klu in the 1959 World Series against the Dodgers, as Kluszewski hit two homers in the first game and ended with 10 RBI's for the whole series. The Dodgers won the series 4 games to 2. Ted Kluszewski had a .298 career batting average with 290 doubles and 279 home runs. Ted Kluszewski was a popular ball player during this era and even opposing fans cheered him on. In the 1970s and early 1980s he was a batting coach for Cincinnati.

In addition to the two modders being featured this week there will be a new category of modders that will be called the Behind the Scenes group that Jim825 defined last week in this thread as "the category for those people who have made contributions that weren't released on their own, but which serve as a foundation or an integral part of many other mods." Read on to see what is meant by this. Boricuapapi1885 Boricaupapi's main work in here was the creation of cyberfaces for players who are now retired. His excellent renditions of players such as Sammy Sosa, Miguel Cairo and Roger Clemens just to name three are all included in the 2006 and 2007 mods which of course are available for download here on the website. But besides the cyberfaces he made two very useful mods that visually improved the look of the game. The Hi-Res grass and dirt mod improves the texture of the grass and dirt on the infields and gives you the choice of installing brand new (clean) bases in your game or dirty game used ones. Hi-Res Grass and Dirt mod v2.0. Bases Mod. Kumala If you are someone who likes to experiment with the many datafiles available here you should not overlook the contributions of Kumala. He made his own individual datafiles and also worked with KSM on updating some of his work such as adding new camera angles and other various adjustments. During his time here his datafiles were very popular. Of all the mods made on this website datafiles are the mods most geared for individual use and all that means is as much as one datafile is liked and used by people you will find the same amount that won't use it and are comfortable with another one that has different camera angles or default settings. And the people who used Kumala's work were always happy when he came out with an updated version. Kumala datafile final. KSM datafile with default fielding cams/value edits. KSM Combo with Kumala edits. Kumala 07 datafile. Behind the Scenes Yankees763 It would not be an overstatement on my part that with all the modders talked about so far in this thread that this modder right here would be the least familiar of them all. However if you are a Total Classics fan then you will know who Yankees763 is and how important he was to the creation of Total Classics, which is now currently in its tenth phase. All of his mods were released when Mvp 2004 was still the number one game around and all of his mods are now currently unavailable for download but if that leads you to the assumption that you have never seen his work then you'll be surprised. Take a look right here at the download list from Yankees763. Some of you may be wondering what these "team packages" were. They were actual rosters of individual teams that you could drop into your Mvp 2004 game to replace a team that was already there. Look at the teams he made and you will see that they are very familiar to you. The 1965 Twins, the 1969 Senators, the 1978 Yankees, the 1982 Brewers, etc, etc. All teams that have been part of Total Classics to this day. Along with the many teams he contributed many portraits that helped make up that huge mod.
-
If you plan on spending any quality time here on this site you will find that there are a lot of people very willing to put down a mod and criticize the work of a modder. This isn't something that is brand new around here. We've had people doing this for years because it's so much easier to insult someone else's work then doing the work itself. This is coming from someone who has never used wudl's rosters or BSU's rosters only because I don't own 2K12 but I do have a very good idea how much time it takes to put together a roster so in that respect I salute their efforts.

Random Thoughts On A Sunday Morning Updated To 11-24
Yankee4Life replied to Yankee4Life's topic in Left Field (Off-Topic)
Updated to 12-22 ...Just a few more short days and this will all be over for another year and we can put Rudolph and company away in the cellar where they belong. ...My Christmas plans are still undecided because we are supposed to be going to be with my wife's family and they live 180 miles away in the part of New York State that is called the Southern Tier. It's a nice enough sounding name but take it from someone who has been there too many times that is the only good thing about that place. Well no, I take that back. The other good thing about being down there is when we are packed up and driving home. The reason why I say we are supposed to is that if the weather is good tomorrow night we'll be driving down there. If not, we are not going anywhere and my wife will get mad at me because if she is to be believed, it is a well-known fact in my house that I control the weather. If we do end up going I will have my eyes and ears open because something always seems to happen when I'm there that I find hilarious. ...Two quick stories that I can throw out in here because she rarely reads my stuff and when she does she shakes her head and then calls me Pinocchio. A few years back we all went out to breakfast before we headed out for our three-hour trip back home. We decided on going to Denny's but when we got there there was a line out the door waiting to get in the place. We were waiting our turn and when a party that was called to let them know their table was ready did not answer and come forward the server came outside to call their names again, thinking that maybe they missed it. What happened was these people must have taken off and before the girl went inside my father-in-law asked her what was going on and why there was such a long line. She told him that Denny's had a special today where if you ordered linked sausages with your breakfast you would get an extra sausage and when people heard that the word spread. So we were waiting in line to get an extra sausage that was just about the length of an index finger. The other story happened during the summer about ten years back. We went to a carnival at one of the nearby towns which was funny all by itself but I'll save that for another time. While we were walking around the area I noticed a medium-sized building surrounded by a high fence a little more than a football field away from the rest of us with a few cars parked in the parking lot. Curiosity got the best of me and I asked one of the locals who was working behind the lemonade stand what that was. "Oh, that's our hoosegow!!" he replied. ...By the way, a hoosegow is a jail. I had no idea either. ...I am getting tired of seeing this Ron Burgundy stuff all over the place. Will Ferrell must know people in high places if they keep letting him make movies. ...The Indians signed John Axford last week to a free agent contract. It wasn't a high profile signing but for the Tribe it was a necessary one and an important one because now that the news about Uruguay legalizing marijuana they are not sure if Chris Perez is going to come back and play or retire and move down there. ...British researchers with obviously too much time on their hands have done an analysis on James Bond's drinking habits (yes, that James Bond) and have determined that he could die from alcohol-related causes, such as liver damage, by age fifty-six. I'd imagine if 007 were alive he would pay attention to these findings and try and cut down on the medium-dry vodka martinis but since he isn't I see no attendant danger. The researchers found that his weekly alcohol consumption totaled 92 units a week and that is four times more than doctors recommend to anyone that is actually among the living. All fourteen of the original James Bond books by Ian Fleming were analyzed for this study. And to think, all I did with those same fourteen books was read them. Well, I don't know what the purpose of this study was about but they ended up saying that Bond should be referred to treatment to help reduce his alcohol intake to safe levels. And they were serious. ...Maybe their next study can focus on how many girls Fonzie would have hooked up with had he been living in a bigger city than Milwaukee. ...I don't know if any of you have Imageshack accounts but I am not liking the new format that they are running over there. ...Am I the only person in this country that does not like chicken wings? When people find this out about me it instantly puts a smile on their face because they know if they are ever out someplace with me they don't have fight me for them. ...A homeless couple is suing a small town in Missouri stating that their constitutional rights were violated when the police asked them to leave because they stood on a street corner holding a sign asking for a handout. Because the police told these people to get out of town the American Civil Liberties Union (ACLU) filed a federal lawsuit on the couple's behalf. There's something about this entire story that I do not understand because I've seen people like this before holding signs that say something like Will Work For Food but I had no idea that it was their constitutional right to panhandle. The cops around here make them move on down the road as far as possible and then that's that. Personally I think they should purchase them a one-way bus ticket to Buffalo because at least when they are there they can blend in better. What I think this couple needs more than having the ACLU fight their case in court -which could literally take years- is to have a roof over their heads instead of a lawyer on their side. ...There is a restaurant in Port Huron, Michigan named the Cajun Gator that won the right to have live alligators greet their patrons as they arrived there for dinner. The City Council voted 4-2 to allow this to happen and something tells me that with all the bad ideas that have been carried out over time this one here could prove to be a memorable one. I know it was just a movie but we all saw what happened when King Kong was put into an environment that wasn't his own. He got mad, broke loose and started eating people. I can see the same thing here if someone begins teasing one of these animals. Call me crazy but I do not feel like showing up someplace for dinner when there is an outside chance that I can be some gator's appetizer. ...There was an article last week about Derek Jeter that made the rounds on ESPN and other news sources where visitors to his home down in Florida have to place their cell phones in a basket by in his foyer before entering his house so that no one will take pictures of his home due to privacy issues. It must have been a slow news week last week because even the two idiots on Intentional Talk had to bring it up on their show. Considering that in all possibilities and scenarios that I will never set foot in Jeter's home let alone stand in his driveway I am not concerned at all what his house rules are. ...Considering how sneaky some people are I don't think it's unreasonable to expect someone to smuggle some kind of camera in his house now. ...Journey guitarist Neal Schon got married last week and for some reason he and his fiance decided to have their wedding on Pay-Per-View and at $14.95 a pop the only people that ordered it were relatives that couldn't make it to the wedding or were not invited. To be fair if they felt they had to broadcast their nuptials to make a buck they should do the same thing when it's time for their divorce. ...It has been said that I am behind the times as far as certain things are concerned and depending on what it is I have to admit that it is true. For example, I have no idea what is popular in music today and to tell the truth I don't want to know. That's probably the best illustration that I can come up with right now. Basically if I have no reason to be concerned about something then I usually don't pay attention to it. This explains why when every time I heard something brought up about Duck Dynasty I could not tell you one thing about it except that it is a TV show and everyone on it looks like the Old Man on the Mountain. That's all I knew. I don't know who's in it and what it's about and I still don't. Apparently one of the people on that show got himself in a bit of hot water because of a magazine interview that he gave where he voiced his opinions on gays and other subjects. Without going into detail about what those opinions are it is safe to say that these are not ones shared among people who make a living as watchdogs on what other people say. His comments earned him an indefinite suspension from the show after angry protests from people who didn't agree with him. That's all it took for him to get the boot off this show. Now I may not agree with what this hillbilly was talking about but you got to respect his right to say it. More and more in this country the right to express your opinion without fear of any fallback is equivalent to a popularity contest. ...It's that time of year again and this time I'm not talking about Christmas songs and buying presents. If only dealing with that were as easy as updating my Kaspersky for another year. Thanks to Zing Sale I find a deal every single year for the three-license version I get. I don't want this to sound like a commercial for that website because this isn't but the last two years the money I saved updating this much needed program has given me one less headache. If only everything were this simple. ...I still have not been able to put Oldtime Baseball down yet. This game, along with Tony Larussa 2 and the 1958 mod are keeping me up late at nights and getting me out of bed early in the morning. I have forgotten how difficult this game could be when you play on the hardest level and having all the teams from the 1800's up until the early 90's is a classic baseball fans dream. There's no way any of you PS3 or PS4 guys will try this out because your eyes have been spoiled and the 2K fans will get mad because this game, along with the others made during this time was made better than what they have been putting out all these years. Check out this screenshot of a game between the Philadelphia Athletics and the St. Louis Browns in the 1922 season. Give it a shot, you may be pleasantly surprised. One from Tony Larussa Baseball 2, which by th way turned twenty years old this year. And lastly Hardball 5, which just turned eighteen. ...Some people may say they are old school but in my case I really mean it. ...Finally, I hope all of you here at Mvpmods have a wonderful Christmas and that goes for all your friends and family that will share the day with you. Enjoy! -

Have patience with stuff like this. Remember all the modders here make these mods on their own time for the benefit of everyone.
