I totally missed that part. Thank you! :D

I don't even play 2k12 but I'm curious. What is this mod?
-
Never underestimate the power of actually doing a search, right Beaver? Good work!
-
It doesn't need to be re-uploaded. Go to the Mvp 2005 download area and go to the TUTORIALS section. There you go.

I don't know if you should look at it like that. Yeah you've been here awhile but you contribute by being a good member here. That's something. And since you've been here all this time you know I don't go out of my way to compliment Red Sox fans. It's against what I believe in. Right now my keyboard is sending electric shocks to my fingers for what I wrote but I'm still standing by it. Good luck man!

Try to update your database. That's where the rosters for the teams are located at. There's a guy here named daflyboys that comes out with these accurate and fantastic rosters so try his latest one he has in the download section. It is located right here. Always back up your files first. Now let me ask you this. Why did you fool with the models.big file? I know you are trying to isolate the problem but what exactly did you do here?

Did you add any new mods to this game? What I mean is there's the Mvp 12 mod and there are two patches for this game that kyleb released for the mod. Both of these patches do not affect gameplay at all. They are minor fixes in the game itself. Did you add any mods besides this?
-
Before you start from scratch try running this game through administration mode in Windows 7. That does make a difference.

Daammmmn, this guy knows how to advertise his stuff! Good luck man!

Random Thoughts On A Sunday Morning Updated To 11-23
Yankee4Life replied to Yankee4Life's topic in Left Field (Off-Topic)
Updated to 4-28 ...I debated with myself all week whether or not I should post this opinion in here but after thinking it over I decided that well, it's just one person's opinion and that's all anyone should take out of it. In my life I have never had any interactions with Muslims. Growing up around me there were Italians, Germans, Jews, Polish, Negro, etc. We never had a Muslim family to talk to and get to know. Same for going to school. Not one. Of course I went to Catholic schools so that probably had something to do with it. My point is that since I did not know any I did not have any feelings towards them, good or bad. That all changed in September of 2001 when Osama and his merry men attacked our country and killed thousands of people and changed our way of living forever. Because of these people literally scores of new regulations have been put into place by our government all in the name of "national security" and the worst being the TSA, an organization that I consider to be a modern Gestapo. After these attacks I found out enough about Muslims than I ever cared to know. These people are followers of a religion that is supposed to be all about peace so either a large group of them must not have got that message or maybe they really don't mean it after all. For the past twelve years these people are directly responsible for making our every day lives more inconvenient. If for example I want to take a bus trip to Toronto to see a Blue Jay game I got to come up with $140 for a passport. More money out of everyone's pocket all because of these people. So for twelve years we adjust and get used to things. Now this happens at the Boston Marathon where two men, once again Muslims, make and execute a plan to make two explosions go off at the finish line that injured many people and killed three. We have had enough violence in this country that do not involve Muslims but when these people decide to jump in you can be sure it's going to be pretty bad and explosions will be involved. I have no respect for them any longer and I don't want to try to understand them because I'm past that point now. I am angry at what they have done to this country and concerned about what the next nut wants to do. When I hear the word Muslim I brace myself for bad news. These people are to terrorism as a ringmaster is without a circus. You can't have one without the other. Show me one time when these people have done something that was actually peaceful. A religion that preaches peace to the most violent people in the world is bound to fail. And it has. I have no use for them. ...Again this is just an opinion, just one of my random thoughts for this week. I'm afraid you may think I am generalizing all Muslims into the same group but that's not the case. I am sure the most of the people that follow the Muslim faith are not like this at all and it takes a small percentage to give the entire group a bad name. But the fact remains that we have been hit pretty bad on our home soil two times now in a dozen years. And that's two times too many. ...Ok, on to something else. Anything really. ...There's been a lot of surprises this first month of the season hasn't there? Up in Toronto you have a Blue Jay team struggling despite being the writer's favorites to win the A.L. East this year because they picked up every good player the Marlins had on their roster with the exception of Giancarlo Stanton...The Dodgers are in fifth place much to the delight of every National League fan outside of Los Angeles and the worst part for them is that they're in trouble. One of their top pitchers is out for the year with Tommy John surgery and the other is out for the next few months with a broken collarbone... The Washington Nationals are playing around .500 ball. They're another team that was handed the division before the season started. It's like people forgot about the Braves... Playing at that same .500 clip would have been good for the Yankees, at least if anyone paid attention to how they were supposed to play, but they are holding their own and I'm actually having more fun watching them play this year without all those multi-millionaires in the lineup...If Josh Hamilton and the Angels were a .500 team that would actually be an improvement for them...The Red Sox are in first place and I don't know if they are for real or not but for now they are playing like a first place team...Of course there are some things that are not surprises either like the Astros in dead last in the A.L. West but at least they can say they are not the worst team in baseball because the Marlins are still in business and losing at an alarming pace. ...But really, I have to wonder, are these surprises at all? This is the game itself. Every single year the media gets ahead of the game by predicting and going into detail what they they think is going to happen, who's going to win, who's going to lose and predictions are made for the World Series before Opening Day even gets here. And we eat it up every year. I'm waiting for the day when they're doing their World Series picks when someone from the MLB Network or ESPN admits on camera that they have no idea who is going to win because the games have to be played and to win it involves skill, talent, a minimum amount of injuries and a dash of good fortune. These predictions are not worth the time it takes to read them. This is why baseball surprises you every year. It gets rid of all the pre-season hype and replaces it with the reality of a 162 game season. I wouldn't have it any other way. ...Former Playboy model Kendra Wilkinson was taken to a Los Angeles area hospital after suffering injuries from a car accident after she attempted once again to operate a motor vehicle while chewing gum at the same time. The vehicle's air bag deployed properly but the implants in her chest did not, leaving her bruised and battered but not worse for wear. This by the way was the first rear-ender that Wilkerson was involved in that had anything to do with being behind the wheel of a car. ...If I were running Yahoo or Google I would do anything in my power to hire Dylan Bradbury as my spokesman. This guy can literally find anything on the internet. Tell him for example that you recall a story of a guy driving through some glass doors at a mall before stopping his car right in the middle of a Dairy Queen he can tell you with a couple of clicks of his mouse where this happened, when this happened, what kind of car it was and what the guy had for breakfast. All in less than a minute. ...I think Heidi Watney is a great addition to the MLB Network. My problem is I can't concentrate on what she's saying because I'm always looking at her legs. ...I'd rather sit and watch paint dry than watch the NFL draft. ...Taking nothing away from Gwyneth Paltrow but when People Magazine named her the "World's Most Beautiful Woman" in their last issue of their magazine I had to guess that they must not get out very much or they were paid handsomely to do so. It's as though they have never heard of Kate Upton before. ...Remember Tara Reid? I have to ask because since the American Pie movies ended all she's mostly done is empty liquor bottles at an alarming rate. Usually the only time you hear about her is when there are articles about botched-up plastic surgeries or celebrities who aren't aging well. Last weekend she was thrown out of a store in Los Angeles when she got into an argument with an employee because she was not given a discount for the items she wanted to buy since her idea for a discount was to get everything for free based on her star status which by the way is as shriveled up as a raisin. If she's that hard up for money maybe she can join Splash next season. ...There was a little incident at our house one week ago that stayed on my mind for most of the week. One of our dogs brought in an injured baby rabbit and placed it on the rug in our living room. I was upstairs at the time when this happened. All at once I hear a scream coming from downstairs because now my wife sees what is in the house and she yells for me to come and do something. I did not know what to do because this little animal was slightly bleeding and wasn't really moving that much. I remembered that there was an all night animal hospital so I gave them a call and explained to them what happened but incredibly they said they could not take the rabbit in because it lived out in the wild and they would not change their position even after I explained again the condition of it. But they did give me the number of some volunteers who take these animals in to care for them. Getting through to these people was another thing but finally after five numbers that we tried we got in touch with someone and he told us to bring the rabbit to him. Unfortunately this guy lived a half mile's drive from us in a little town called Churchville, New York and I am not familiar with that place at all. All I know about Churchville is that it has a golf course and some cows and after driving there last Sunday night I learned a third thing and that was there was not one streetlight to help somebody out when they're driving. Hell, I would have been happy for a floodlight or a flashlight. Finally we get to the wildlife station and we dropped off the rabbit and we went back home. We were given a card to call to inquire about the animal the next day but my wife was too afraid to call so last Tuesday she told me to do it and when I called I was informed that the bunny didn't make it. She didn't take that news too well and I have to admit that I tried to take it in stride but I just could not get that image of that small animal bleeding out of my mind and me not being able to help. The eyes on that rabbit is what stayed with me the most. There was more fear in it than pain. ...An airline named Virgin America launched a new service that allows passengers to interact with other people that happen to catch their eye by sending them drinks, snacks or even meals and if all goes well with that you can follow up with a text message. This sounded pretty good to me so I explained to my wife that the next time we take a flight we should use this airline to take advantage of this so I can send drinks to our stewardess in order for her to pay more attention to us and she replied that if I was going to be sending drinks then she'd be sending a couple of well placed kicks to my knee. And just like that another one of my brilliant ideas was shot down. Just as well though because this airline doesn't even operate out Upstate New York. ...Microsoft has let everyone know that May 21st is the date they are going to let everyone know about their next console system and what to expect from it. One rumor that has had the most life for some gamers is that you won't be able to play this new X-box unless you are online and that you won't be able to play old (Xbox 360 and original) games on it. If this proves to be true Microsoft will be doing the Playstation 4 a huge service. ...Have you ever noticed that when someone wants to ask you a "quick question" that it's never quick? ...The other day I got to wondering about the new Red Sox savior Jackie Bradley Jr and how he was making out and then when I looked him up I saw he was already demoted to the minors. That didn't take long at all. ...Listening to Derek Jeter during his press conference last Thursday I couldn't decide if he was trying more to convince himself or the media that he would be coming back to play after the All-Star break. -
Already happened with the Asia mod that was released a long time ago. EDIT: Now I remember you. You brought up this same subject just a few months back. What did you think,by waiting a few months the answer to your question was going to change? I don't understand you at all.

That would clear that up. I've had the Katie Roy thing in place for so long now that you can almost forget it's there.

What are you talking about? Did you download this mod and install it? The jerseys are right there.

After going back to re-read my review of the 1941 mod I noticed that I neglected to mention the various books that have been written specifically about this season and events that affected baseball. So now that I remember I'll post them here. Robert W. Creamer's wonderful book about Baseball and Other Matters in 1941 gives a first person perspective of that year and season from Creamer's own eyes. Real Grass, Real Heroes: Baseball's Historic 1941 Season By Dom Dimaggio and Ted Williams. 56: Joe Dimaggio and the Last Magic Number in Sports. By Kostya Kennedy. These three books are probably the best ones out there that cover the '41 season. Enjoy! And thank you again Jim and Dennis.

Yes I do but before I do that let me ask you why you think he has to approve them for upload? Now if I were you I'd do this. I'd install those uniforms into your game and I'd take some in-game screenshots of them. Show people your '71 Orioles double knit uniforms, the flannel road ones and the post season road uniforms. Ask people what they think of them and how they like them.

Maybe the guy's busy right now and can't respond.

Where Did Dylanbradbury Go? (I'm Back!)
Yankee4Life replied to DylanBradbury's topic in Left Field (Off-Topic)
Let me know, ok? I'm concerned about what's going on with you. Besides I have to look out for people born on my birthday. :) -
Total Classics 1941 continued. George McQuinn wasn't too shabby for the Browns either. He went 3 for 4 with a single, a home run and this opposite field double that third baseman Red Rolfe had no chance at. This was a strange ninth inning for relief pitcher Tiny Bonham of the Yankees. The Browns were about to go down to a 7 - 3 defeat but they weren't going to go quietly or without inflicting some sort of pain as Bonham can confirm. Here, catcher Rick Ferrell lines a ball off of his leg but Bonham was able to recover in time to throw him out. After recording the second out of the inning via a fly ball, pinch hitter Chet Laabs got in on the act and he hit a ball off of Bonham too. The difference here is that Laabs reached base and Bonham was unexplainably charged with an error on the play. One batter later Bonham, without a ball being hit near him or at him, retired the Browns to end the game.

Total Classics 1941 continued. Here's Fritz Ostermuller six years before he started throwing at Jackie Robinson. (Go and see 42 to see what I mean.) Marius Russo's second bunt attempt did not go so well as the first one as he popped out in foul territory here. This elusive slide by Joe Grace allowed him to reach third base safely with a triple. Yes, Joe Dimaggio did get a hit in this game. Far be it from me to break up this guy's hit streak. For me, the second most impressive stat about his 1941 season besides hitting in the 56 straight games was that for the entire year he only struck out thirteen times. The Yankee hitting star of the day was left fielder Charlie Keller who went 4 for 5 with 3 RBI and one run scored.
-
Total Classics 1941 continued. Bill Dickey has just hit a double to drive home two runs off off Elden Auker. Phil Rizzuto is caught trying to get back to first base after a steal attempt gone wrong. George McQuinn puts the Browns on the board with this home run off of Russo. Here's one of Russo's six strikeouts in the game. Red Rolfe starts another Yankee rally by hitting a single over the head of George McQuinn at first base that sent Johnny Sturm to third.

The next Total Conversion mod to be discussed in this thread is the 1941 season mod that the combined talents of Jim825 and Dennis James put together. Without even going any further here you know that mods released by these two in the past are top-of-the-line and now that these two have come together to create this mod you can be sure of one thing right away and that it's going to be great. Well, I'm here to tell you that it is. Jim created the installer for this mod just as he does for any season mod that he is a part of. The schedule was made by none other than Dylan Bradbury, someone who can make a schedule and have it work right when he's asleep. You know if he made it then it's accurate. You'll see that I am given credit for providing some photos and music for the mod but the proper credit must go to Dennis here. They know the photos that they wanted. I just gave options. Same with the music. The only credit I get here is that I was one of the first ones to download this and I gave it five stars. The 1941 season was one of the greatest seasons in the history of the game. As Jim stated in his description of the mod the pennant race was overshadowed by what Joe Dimaggio did with his 56 game hitting streak and Ted Williams' season long quest to hit .400, which he achieved by going 6 for 8 in a doubleheader against the Philadelphia Athletics on the last day of the season. So, there was no pennant race; at least not in the American League. The National League was an entirely different story. The Brooklyn Dodgers won their first pennant in twenty-one years as they fought the St. Louis Cardinals all year long before finally winning by 2 1/2 games. It was a ticker-tape parade for the new N.L. Champions but there was a saying that went like this: It can only happen in Brooklyn. And for the Dodgers that proved to be true at the worst possible time in the World Series against the Yankees just as they were about to tie the series at two games apiece. A swing and a miss, a passed ball, a Yankee rally to win the game and they won the next game and just like that the series was over and done with in five games. This was a wonderful season. It's seventy-two years behind us now and most of the people who played in that year are no longer with us but thanks to these two modders it is now here for you to download (right here.) and enjoy. When you first get into this mod you'll see a color photo of Dimaggio and Williams. The music chosen for this mod fits wonderfully - especially the tunes chosen for the walk-up music and between innings. Remember there are only sixteen teams in the league at this time so you'll have a lot of open spots when you look for a team to pick. You'll notice that there are only two uniforms for each team to choose from, their home and away ones. That's because that's how it was back then. Remember this was fifty years before the White Sox invented the popular turn-back-the-clock promotion. The stadiums are wonderful. I've played in them all and it is hard to pick a favorite because back then they were all built completely different from the others except for St. Louis of course because the Cardinals and Browns played in the same ballpark. I like the simpleness of this mod and that's in no way a back handed slap at it. For example the overlay in the game. It's not flashy, it doesn't have any unnecessary stuff in it like pitch counts. It tells you what you need to know. Remember, this mod is based in an era where there were no exploding scoreboards, no swimming pools in the outfield and no electronic scoreboards enticing people to get up and "make noise." When those fans got up to make noise to cheer their team on they didn't have to be told how to do it or how loud either. There is a bit of artistic license in this mod that was thrown in but it fits in so well that you almost can not tell it is there. When you play a game with the Yankees listen closely when Joe Dimaggio comes up to bat. You'll hear very softly Bob Sheppard announce his name. He also does the same for Phil Rizzuto. The reason why I say this is artistic license is because Sheppard did not start doing the Yankee public address announcing until 1951. Sheppard's professional voice fits in anywhere; even ten years before he started work. If you are fans of other season mods you won't regret downloading this one. VIDEO: Joe Dimaggio singles in the 9th against the Browns. Screenshots: Total Classics 1941! Phil Rizzuto hits a single to right field off of Elden Auker of the Browns. Yankee pitcher Marius Russo lays down a perfect sacrifice bunt. So perfect in fact that Browns third baseman Harlond Clift throws the ball away. Here's the second Browns error of the day. On a potential double play, shortstop Johnny Berardino throws the ball into right field.
