  1. You didn't offend. There's just a very obvious language gap here where you are not fully understanding what is being said here only because English is not your primary language,which is not a problem at all. I would have (and do) have the same misunderstandings of what people are posting when I am on the Mvp Caribe website.
  2. Don't worry. Tryouts are being held as we speak.
  3. What I think nani needs to do is tell someone who can understand both languages exactly what he is trying to say and not depend on those online translators because they are not that good.
  4. You are still taking people's work in here without their knowledge and permission and putting it in your mod. You guys stole all those minor league stadiums for example. What are you saying? That these modders should be happy that you guys thought well enough of them that you stole their stuff? The guys who make the Caribe series are the real modders over on that site. You guys just took mods that other people made, slapped them together and then renamed it.
  5. Great, another one. He takes a copy of the Mvp 12 mod and this is what happens. Ok then.

    Don't use Boston. And don't use the Yankees either or else all your players will go on the DL.
  7. Mvp teams 13 continued Here is the uniform that is supposed to be the 1927 Yankees home uniform but in fact is the Yankees 1952 home uniform. As you can see, the 1952 Yankee home whites. The patch on the left sleeve was only worn in 1952 and it commemorated the team's 50th year in baseball. They stole the idea from from the modders of the Mvp 2012 and 2013 mod to use minor league stadiums in this mod. But look closely here. The stadium I am selecting here is the Louisville Slugger Field but you can't tell that by the loading screen here because it's a picture of Olympic Stadium in Montreal. Here is an example of one of the loading screens. I took this to be one of the more positive things I could say about this mod. If the overlay looks familiar to any of you it is. They stole it from one of the overlays on this site.
  8. Last year a group of Latino modders made their own version of the 2012 mod that was released on this site and this year they did it again. The modders that worked on these two mods are not the same ones who work on the Mvp Caribe series. They talk about this mod over at the Caribe website but not even those guys host this mod for them. The guy that is behind all this is named jeferomer and you may be familiar in seeing his name around here because he's here every day and is usually sifting through the download section to see what he can take next. As I said, you can not download this mod on the Caribe website. It is hosted on a file sharing site and I am not even going to provide the links for you to get this because all you will be doing is wasting your time. It is a poorly put together mod but there are some good things about it too and I think it is also fair of me to mention those things while at the same time try and explain what a poorly put together piece of work this is. My first "what the hell" moment came after I installed the mod. Everything was there but they did not provide the executable file to run the game. I couldn't understand it. Here I download the mod and they gave me everything except for the mvp2005.exe file. Never in any season mod that I have downloaded was this necessary file withheld. It was no big deal since all I did was copy the executable from one of my other games and place it in this mod. It worked perfectly but I still should not have had to do this. Once I got that needed file I started up this mod and to be perfectly honest the opening video for this mod was one of the best intro videos I've ever seen in a mod. It consisted of many different baseball highlight videos combined into one video. I could tell by watching this that someone there has a talent for this. On the other hand if they stole this video from someplace it wouldn't surprise me. The only other thing I came away liking about this mod was the different loading screens that were there. After the video was done I got into the game and I looked around before I played a game. I saw some uniform mistakes plus a major one that told me a lot about this mod and how it originated. The Angels in this mod are still called the Anaheim Angels and either they did not catch this error or it didn't matter to them. Now about that major mistake. First I want you to know that I own and still have on my hard drive Mvp 2006, 2007, 2008, 2012 and now 2013. You'll see why I am telling you this in a second. When the 2008 mod came out, someone made the mistake of mislabeling the home uniform of the 1927 New York Yankees. The uniforms really were the 1952 Yankees but they said it was the '27 team. This mistake did not happen in the '06 and '07 mods and it did not happen in last year's or this year's mod. All of these mods the '27 Yankee uniform was correct. Except for the 2008 mod. This fact tells me that this mod is really a stripped down and painted over version of the 2008 mod. Logos updated, screens changed, uniforms added as fast as Dennis James can make them, but this mod is nothing but Mvp 2008 with a new set of clothes. This mod took a lot of liberties by using ideas from the 2012 mod and one of them was the decision to remove all the classic stadiums and put more minor league parks in the game. Personally I thought it was an excellent idea and it looks great in the 2012 and 2013 mod. You should not be surprised to find out that these same minor league stadiums have made their way into this mod thanks to the pilfering by jeferomer. But as you will see when you take a look at the screen capture of Louisville Slugger Stadium they even messed that up. Now that I finished looking around this mod and playing around with it I do not need it anymore. All I wanted to do is bring this to everyone's attention in here to let them know what was going on. Dennis James and Kyleb did not consent to having their work being brought into this mod. I checked with them a few days ago about this before I began writing this. It's too bad because they did a good job on the loading screen artwork but everything else in this mod is contributions from other modders who didn't know they were contributing anything. 1/2 star out of five. Mvp 13 CTS screen Here's the team of modders that created this. Note that jeferomer is the leader of this project. He took the mods from this site to create this. Dennis James is listed in the credits for this mod even though he was (1) not consulted and (2) did not give his permission. Same goes for Kyleb. These guys took their work, gave them the middle finger while they were doing it and then said oh by the way, thanks a lot. They've been the Los Angeles Angels of Anaheim since 2005 but these guys still do not know it.
  9. I'm not exactly sure what you mean but this is not the thread for questions like that.
  10. Yankee4Life

    Mvp 13

    Yeah, provide more details.
  11. Why are the faces from that mod being brought over here?
  12. Mvp 13 Continued This hit off of Shields by Coco Crisp made the Royals bullpen work doubletime because Shields was not in much longer after this. In fact when the Kansas City manager came out to talk to him instead of seeing the usual EA Sports message that said PITCHER'S REACTION:NEGATIVE, I had to laugh out loud when these guys replaced those words with IT'S GETTING UGLY! Oakland manufactures an insurance run in the eighth as pinch hitter Chris Young singles. In the top of the ninth with one out Johnny Giavotella singles and then tries to steal second. He is gunned down by the strong arm of John Jaso and the next batter, Jarrod Dyson, grounds out to end the game. The final score was Oakland 7, Kansas City 0. Thank you to all the modders that worked on this mod for all these months. Your work and dedication is very much appreciated.
  13. Mvp 13 Continued After bobbling the ball momentarily, Oakland third baseman Josh Donaldson recovers to throw out Royals catcher Salvador Perez. Jarrod Dyson went 3 for 4 in today's game. Here he is making a catch off of Brandon Moss to end the second inning. A perfect sacrifice bunt by James Shields. Coco Crisp driving in one of his two runs on the day with a double to right center field. He went 3 for 5. This is what turned the game into a rout. Yoenis Cespedes has just hit a three run home run off of Shields deep in the left field stands to give Oakland a 6 - 0 lead and the Royals had no chance after that.
  14. The next mod to be talked about in this thread is the Mvp 13 mod, which was released here on Mvpmods just a few days ago. You can download the mod right here and on the download page kyleb has provided simple and detailed instructions on how to install it. This 2013 season is thanks to the organizational skills of Kyleb. If you liked how the 2012 mod turned out you will love the work that was done this year. Thanks to people like daflyboys, DennisJames71, Homer, Jim825, bctrackboi11 and Trues (among many others) this mod would not have been made. And for any of you preparing to play a dynasty with this mod Dylan Bradbury has made the schedule so you are all set and ready to go. (In the coming days I am going to be reviewing another Mvp 2013 season mod. It is completely different than the one that is available for download here and I am confident that you will find it very interesting. But enough of that right now. ) Here we go. Let's get into this mod and see what we got. The installation of this mod is quick and easy. Now if you have bothered to read previous reviews of other mods that I have done you will notice that I always say the installation is quick and easy and the simple reason for that is because that is how it is. As I stated in the very first paragraph Kyleb provides the instructions on how to install this on the download page but that still doesn't matter for some people because they'll still end up asking how to install this. The first thing you will see when you start Mvp 13 is a splash screen featuring the baseball cards of Bryce Harper, Derek Jeter, Buster Posey and Price Fielder. Then you get to the click-to-start screen that showcases 2012 Triple Crown winner Miguel Cabrera, a perfect choice for the cover player of this year's mod. Incidentally the loading screens in the game are very well done and I salute Kyleb for his artistic work. The jukebox features songs that I personally never heard of but that doesn't mean they made a bad selection. I didn't know any of the songs from the 2012 mod either but you got to take that with a grain of salt because I don't know anything about modern music since I have different tastes. But whatever the names of these songs are they fit well into the makeup of this game. It took me awhile before I even played my first game because I kept on looking through all the teams from A ball on up to the majors just to see what uniforms were assigned to each of them. That took awhile but it was worth exploring. Once again the old classic stadiums are not included here and it is something that I think adds so much to the mod. Many people do not realize that the Tokyo Dome has been on this site for a few years now and it was really nice to see that being included once again in this mod. The exhibition game I played today between Kansas City and Oakland was played in the Estadeo de Beisbol Monterrey, a stadium also featured in last year's mod and the reason why I wanted to use one of these stadiums was to show how good these little-known ballparks are in this game. Finally after poking around for as long as I could I picked my teams and starting pitchers and got into the game. I used a throwback Kansas City uniform and for Oakland I used the gold uniform from the 1964 Kansas City Athletics. I have played quite a few games in this 2013 mod and have experienced no problems at all. No crashing problems or anything at all. The mod is very well put together and I highly recommend you do two things with this. First, download it and find out for yourself. You will love this mod. Secondly, thank the modders for their work. You will be surprised at how many times they don't get a single thanks for what they did. So, thank you to everyone who was a part of Mvp 13. You are valued and appreciated. Enjoy this mod! Screenshots Mvp Baseball 2013. There's nothing like it! Overlay and overall layout of Mvp13. Bartolo Colon had an excellent game for Oakland. Here he is pitching against his mound counterpart James Shields (not pictured.) Colon pitched eight innings of shutout baseball and struck out six including this strikeout of Royals second baseman Johnny Giavotella. Eric Sogard busts up a potential double play for the Athletics.
  15. Did you download the game and check for yourself? Try that.
  16. Ok, thank you. Let me know if it is the same coding problem for the Angels. Could be, who knows?
  17. That explains a lot Dennis. When something is hard coded into a game it is very hard to find a work around for it. And if you do have a chance check out the other ones. The Yankee one, of course, is an easy fix. The uniform itself is right. Just the year is wrong.
  18. Couple of minor things about the uniforms. If you take a look at this screenshot right here I have two of them for you to see. First, this is not the Tampa Bay Road uniform. (It was, but when they were the Devil Rays) and a very minor mistake with the year displayed on this Yankee uniform. The Yankees only used this style of road uniform from 1927-1930. Beginning in 1931 they went back to having the "NEW YORK" on their road uniforms. Uploaded with ImageShack.us Also the following were in error: 1. The Tampa Bay HOME uniform is incorrect. It shows the fictional 1979 "turn back the clock" uniforms that they wore. 2. The Miami Marlins HOME uniform is wrong. The Marlins home uniforms from the early 90's are in that slot instead. 3. The Miami Marlins ROAD uniform is wrong. The Marlins road uniforms that say FLORIDA from the 90's are there instead. 4. The Angels 1971 HOME uniform is wrong. The Hollywood Stars ROAD uniform is there in it's place. 5. The Angels 1957 ROAD uniform is wrong. The ROAD uniform from the 1990's is there.
  19. This is why I love feedback in here from something that I've written. And what you said here Jim was something that I did not mean to, but still got away from when I posted this section yesterday. I was so intent on making my point to have everyone read the article that his photo was secondary to me. Maybe it was Rolling Stone's intention to show this guy as a normal looking kid because in the article that is exactly what he was until his ideals got all mixed up due to influences around him.
  20. Updated to 7-21 ...I went to a fireman's carnival last week at one of our neighboring towns and while I was walking around it was almost like I was transported back in time to when I used to go to these thing regularly as a kid. The girls for instance looked and acted like the girls of thirty, thirty-five years ago. You could tell who were the pretty and popular ones because they hung around in packs and they stood in a close circle as if keeping the whole world at a distance as they talk among themselves. Then all of a sudden they'll start walking and after twenty feet or so they huddle up again for a new set of downs. I saw it back then and I saw it now. Must be something in their DNA. Another thing is wasting money trying to win a stuffed animal that probably cost at the most a quarter to make and when next year's spring cleaning rolls around you take a look at the prize you won last summer and without having a second thought about it, throw it away. In our house we'll be doing this twice because when my wife asked me to win her something I ended up winning her two stuffed animals. My luck wasn't with me that night. ...Last Monday, the day before the All-Star Game, Bud Selig said in an interview that baseball is "cleaner than it's ever been." This guy may be a lot of things but I had no idea that he was a comedian. ...There was an All-Star Game played last week but if you judge it by the lack of attention this got from people on this website you could have sworn the game was rained out. Personally I enjoyed it because I always like to see well pitched games and since I've been watching only Yankee games the only time I am aware of this happening is when it is being done to the Yankees or when I hear about it going on in another game. So as I sat down knocking off a six pack of Lipton Iced Tea, I had these observations. 1. Since there was a baseball game being played and a Yankee was a part of it you almost had to expect to see some kind of injury and bless his heart, Robinson Cano didn't disappoint. 2. I didn't even mind listening to Tim McCarver babble on last night because I kept on telling myself that this was the last All-Star Game this guy was going to ruin. 3. I'd have loved to know the odds before the game on Prince Fielder hitting a triple. 4. Thankfully no one on the Red Sox did anything in this game to brag about because if they had their fans would be crowing about it until Labor Day. 5. The game was played in ninety degree heat. This must have made the concession stands in Citi Field deliriously happy as they raised the prices of beer and soda across the board. 6. The nicest part about having Mariano Rivera out there on the mound as the bottom of the eighth started was that the players on both sides did it themselves and it had nothing to do with the commissioner or what he thought about it. Love or hate the Yankees --that's your choice. But this guy is the classiest player to ever put on a uniform. ...Did it really shock anyone when they found out Derek Jeter went back on the disabled list? ...Yasiel Puig got over not being elected to the All-Star team very well as he spent his time off at the Playboy Mansion partying with his brand new friends. Let's see if he gets invited back there after he hits .250 for the rest of the season. ...The plan for the Chicago Cubs to construct a first-ever electronic Jumbotron above Wrigley Field's ivy-covered outfield walls came one step closer to becoming a reality when the city's landmarks commission approved a plan to allow the team to build it. The Cubs are not in the clear yet because the full City Council still must give its approval. One of the most important points the Cubs are trying to sell to people that are opposed to this being done is that the advertising revenues generated by the signs will help the team win but people with long memories reminded the team that this is exactly what was said when lights were installed in 1988 and in the twenty-five years since then the Cubs haven't exactly set the league on fire. ...I don't think the ball club has anything to worry about because this looks like a whole bunch of political posturing. There's no way the Cubs are going to lose this argument with the city because if they do they'll just pack up and go someplace where they'll get their way and the entire city will end up having to watch the White Sox and that's something that no one wants to do even if they are unlucky enough to live in Chicago. ...O.J. Simpson will be appearing before a Nevada parole board later this month but the chances of him receiving parole at that time are very slim. That's too bad because I was curious to see how well his golf game was coming along. ...Beginning in September Jenny McCarthy will be joining The View, a show that is aimed for women where they discuss current issues. Obviously not hired for her intelligence, McCarthy has a little less than two months before she debuts on the show to learn what current issues actually are and how to talk about them. ...I have been noticing these past few years that when it's that time of year when my birthday rolls around the thing that makes me the happiest is knowing that once it gets here I don't have to think about it anymore for a full year. ...I have no problems with ESPN the Magazine's The Body Issue but I wouldn't mind the next time they do one of these that they keep the men out of it. ...There's an old nursery rhyme that starts out with Hey diddle diddle, The cat and the fiddle, the cow jumped over the moon. What this old English lyric does not go on to say is what the cow did once he finished jumping over the moon and for a forty-five year old Brazilian man he found out the hard way. While he and his wife were asleep in bed this nocturnal cow decided to take a quick walk around the neighborhood to stretch his legs after all that jumping. Somehow the cow got all mixed up and before he knew it he found himself on the roof of this man's home. Roofs are not meant to support something weighing over a ton and without any warning to the cow, the animal crashed through the roof and landed on the man's leg and missed the wife completely. The man died later while in the hospital but surprisingly the family blamed his treatment in the hospital more than the cow because they said he spent a long time waiting to be examined. That's not to say that the cow was not made to answer for his part in this. When the man's family got together after his wake to have a dinner in his memory for him all the ground beef there that day was courtesy of that same roof walking cow. ...Soon after George Zimmerman was found not guilty of murder in the death of 17-year-old Trayvon Martin, celebrities from the sports, music and entertainment world fell all over themselves in their race to jump on their twitter accounts to let everyone know they felt about the verdict. While I understand the frustration that some folks have been feeling about the outcome of this trial it appeared to me that there was as much attention paid to what people like Rihanna and Miley Cyrus, two women who will never be mistaken for their acute knowledge of due process, had to say about it. It also seems to me that it is very ironic that when the Casey Anthony verdict was announced two years back the number of celebrities who came out to express their outrage over that was no where near as much as the ones who disclosed their opinions on George Zimmerman. ...It did not take long for celebrities to move on from the Zimmerman verdict to zero in on Rolling Stone magazine for their decision to put Boston Marathon bomber Dzhokhar Tsarnaev on the cover of their latest issue. If we had bothered to listen to these people they'd have us believe that the magazine wanted to turn Tsarnaev into a celebrity and that we should boycott this magazine and not purchase this issue. Well I didn't need someone like Brad Paisley to tell me not to buy this issue because I wasn't about to anyway since I'm too cheap but I did do the next best thing and I read the entire article online and if these people took the time to read this piece they would see that Rolling Stone did not praise him or try to make him look good at any time in the article. While the article in itself was very well written, I came away with no more understanding of this mixed-up religion of Islam, a faith that constantly preaches peace but only in a tongue-in-cheek way. There's a old cliché that says don't judge a book (or in this case a magazine) by its cover. Personally that's what I think happened here and everyone jumped on it. It really didn't matter to me if that kid's face was plastered on a magazine or if we have to see something about him every day on the internet news sites like CNN because when it's time this guy is going to have to answer for what he did and that is when the city of Boston will really be satisfied. ...Malala Yousafzai is a young Pakistani girl gifted with courage that exceeds her sixteen years. She is the girl shot at close range by Taliban gunmen last October because felt that girls deserved the right to have an education and felt so strongly about this that she was not afraid to say this in public despite the constant threats given by the Taliban before they finally made good on it. After she was shot she was flown to Great Britain for treatment and has not returned home because of continued threats from the Taliban saying that they would finish the job once she returned home. Soon after delivering an inspirational speech at the United Nations she received a letter from a Taliban commander asking her to return home and in it he expressed his "shock" that she was attacked but stopped short when it came to apologizing to her. They probably figured if they worded it like that she'd get on the next plane that was headed back to Pakistan. The Taliban wants her back so they can finish her off because this group of trained killers who hide their faces when they murder people are afraid of a little girl who has more fearlessness and inner strength then they'll ever have (and at the same time I have to admit more then I'll ever have) because she had the guts to stand up to them and by doing that she did more damage to the Taliban than an entire army. ...I admire people like this a lot more these days then professional athletes. I'll always be a baseball and football fan but I don't have the same love for the game as I had for it when I was a kid. Hell, I don't even have the same love for baseball that I had ten years ago. When I was a kid following the Yankees each day was everything. But back then I followed all the teams. I could tell you if Willie Stargell was in a slump or not or if Steve Garvey was having a better year than the year before. I don't mind dating myself here a little bit but I was in-con-sol-able after the Reds swept the Yankees in four straight games in the 1976 World Series. I cried for days. I tore out every picture of a Reds player that I had in the scrapbook I was keeping. I was convinced that I would never see the Yankees win anything again because I was born to late to see them when they were really good. Now it's different. When the World Series gets here this year and by some act of God the Yankees are in it and they end up losing to the Reds or any other team in four quick games, as soon as the last game is over and done with all I'd do is check to see if there was a movie on TV that I might be interested in and if not, go to bed. ...A New Jersey man was convicted Friday of sexually abusing a woman while she slept on an airline flight and is now facing a maximum sentence of life in prison and a $250,000 fine. Witnesses say while the woman was resting the man leaned over onto her seat and had his left hand beneath a sweater that was draped over her and when she woke up she found his hands inside her shirt and shorts. For anyone that's ever traveled in coach before you can imagine how hard this would be to do. The man's excuse for doing this was that he was trying to get a job with the TSA and he wanted to show them how good he'd be at patting people down. ...A Pennsylvania woman last week gave birth to a fourteen pound baby girl that was delivered via cesarean section by doctors since there was no way the kid's head would have fit through had she popped out the way most babies do when they come into the world no matter how much drugs they'd have pumped into her to relax her. The mother passed out five or six times after the delivery was completed every time she was told how much the kid weighed and in between one of her fainting spells she called her husband over to her hospital bed and told him that in no uncertain terms would she consent to going home with him unless he got himself a vasectomy because there was no way she was going to take the chance in giving birth to another sumo wrestler again.
  21. Already been uploaded to the site by kst7584 right here. What's next? Are you going to repackage the entire Total Classics series and upload it to the website?
  22. Yes. Search the forums to find discussions about this subject.
  23. I don't remember this either. So I got curious and looked it up and his last game was on May 8, 1988 in a 10-8 loss to the Rangers at Texas. I have no recollection of ever seeing that game since watching the Yankees during that time period was even worse than now. But I agree, he needs to have #10. He can't even have his Cleveland number because Lou Piniella has that.
