Who can blame you for hating this move? If I were you I wouldn't be happy about it either. I couldn't stand Burnett so much last year that I wouldn't watch any of the Yankee games that he started because I couldn't take watching him any longer.

Updated to 2-26 ...Any team that lets a guy like Hideki Matsui go and signs Manny Ramirez is asking for trouble. ...During Oakland's first fifty games is when you'll see Ramirez help out the Athletics the most and that's because he'll still be suspended. ...Checked out some spring training photos this week from the camps in Florida and Arizona. Here's my favorite one so far. It's a picture of A.J. Burnett. What makes it so good is that he's wearing a Pirate uniform instead of a Yankee one. Here's Burnett as he is about to throw his first wild pitch of the spring. ...One thing I hoped would happen in the off season for the Yankees was for them to get younger. Signing Raul Ibanez (age 39) and re-signing Andruw Jones (who will be 35 in April) and Eric Chavez (34, and who also missed 2 1/2 months last year) is not exactly what I thought they'd do. I just hope it doesn't end up hurting them. ...Elizabeth Smart got married last week in Hawaii. Yeah, yeah I know. You don't give a *&#$ either. ...Besides being a great ballplayer and a multimillionaire, now Evan Longoria is dating Playboy model Jaime Edmondson. Some guys get all the luck. ...If anyone ever accuses any of you that you spend too much time on the internet you can tell them this story. I was watching the local news the other day and they had a piece on a guy who was fired from his job because he was playing World of Warcraft for over 100 hours a week. Can you imagine that? That's over 14 hours a day. After watching some videos of this game on Youtube I didn't understand why this game is so popular. I couldn't play this game for 14 minutes let alone 14 hours. ...I dug up an old game of mine for my Windows XP laptop called The Typing of the Dead. And while I'm not playing it for 14 hours a day, it's a hell of a lot of fun to play. When I'm done my fingers hurt because I'm typing so fast. I'd love to see a 2012 version of this. ...It didn't take long for the Angels to find out what a handful Albert Pujols is going to be. Had the Angels never put up billboards to welcome him to Southern California he'd have pouted about that. ...I don't care if Ryan Braun is not going to be serving his fifty game suspension for his postive test for PED's. I'm still skeptical about it. I honestly believe MLB let him get away with this only because he was the NL MVP last year and if the reigning MVP were to be suspended it would have made Bum Selig and his boys look bad. And despite if Braun is suspended or not he's still guilty in the eyes of millions of fans. ...I think the guy who is stuck with the job with putting rubber bands over the claws of lobsters must have a pretty tough job. ...Red Sox manager Bobby Valentine has banned alcohol from the Boston clubhouse effective immediately. Since he didn't consult with any of his high priced prima donnas, you can expect some complaints about it to be leaked to the press. The Red Sox players should be grateful that he didn't ban take out food also. ...Have you heard about that college football player from Virginia who is currently on an eight day hunger strike? Somehow I can't see Prince Fielder doing something like this.

Hey man, I'm glad you finally got a copy of the PC game. Just take a look at all the total conversion mods these wonderful modders have done and you'll see for yourself that you made the right choice in getting this game. One thing I got to correct you on is that the Mvp Caribe crew are not the ones releasing this 2012 Latino mod. From what I understand it probably won't be uploaded to their site, but I could be wrong there. I just know it's not a Caribe release. As for everything else you said, yeah I have to admit that the people you mentioned keep up very well with the stuff they do but as I mentioned in another post, you must have one main guy who is in charge of the entire project because if you don't then it won't get done.That's what Krawhitham was when the previous mods were released. Other people were in charge of specific things with the mod like uniforms for example, but Kraw brought it all together. So far we don't have someone who wants to do what Kraw did and that's not helping this. Again, I don't want to sound pessimistic about this because I'd love for this to happen but without this key thing happening, I don't see this mod being made even though there are people who are still around here talented enough to accomplish it. Enjoy your PC game.

Tengo una pregunta para usted. ¿Necesito tener una cuenta de Facebook para descargar este mod? Debido a que no tengo uno. También el Ministerio de Defensa se ​​estrenará en el comienzo o el final de marzo? Las vistas previas para el Ministerio de Defensa un aspecto maravilloso y estoy seguro de que esto va a ser un mod muy popular.

Where will it be released? Over at MvpCaribe?

When will this be released and available to download?

Dennis, there's 129 pages of posts in this thread and that picture you just posted was the best one of them all. And you're right, I could care less where you buy the swimsuits unless the girl is included. Is that shallow of me? Guilty as charged. :lol:

My monitor just melted because that photo was so hot. I have to buy this issue.

You said a lot Veesmack and I can tell just by your words here that you feel strongly about this. I think the best thing that the media and everyone else can do for Jeremy Lin is to look at him as simply a basketball player and not a basketball player who happens to be Asian. Lin's just starting out. He shouldn't be pressured to represent his entire race when he takes the court. Are Asian American athletes good enough to play major sports? I got a one word answer for that. Yes. I don't believe that they are excluded from participating in sports when they are young. If an American of Chinese, Japanese, Taiwanese, etc decent has an interest in being a point guard, a running back or a right fielder he has much of an opportunity as anyone else. Why aren't there more? I have no idea. Why do all the Asian major league players come from their home country and not here? Beats me. But I don't believe it has anything to do with being purposely excluded. I can't think of five Asian American celebrities. And I'm not trying to be funny here. I'm just saying that I don't pay attention to what race or religion someone is. I got better things to do. I'll give you an example. You know the actor James Caan? He was in the Godfather along with many other movies? Just a few weeks ago I found out he was Jewish. All these years I never thought about what he was, if he was Polish or German or Catholic or Baptist. He was just James Caan to me. And the examples you just gave here are stereotypes. Stereotypes are baggage that is attached to every race whether they are deserved or not. I'm Sicilian. Every time I see a Sicilian on TV or in a movie they got a gun in their hand and they're the bad guys. Whatever. One final thing about stereotypes. You won't change them. They were around before you were born and they'll be here after you are gone.

Updated to 2-19 ...Sure is nice seeing baseball back, isn't it? I can't wait to see who emerges as the next new phenom when the games get going next month. ...How the hell did Oakland sign Cuban outfielder Yoenis Cespedes? The impression that team seems to give out is that they don't have two nickels to rub together. ...Hey, at least the Yankees got rid of A.J. Burnett. As the great Branch Rickey used to say, that's addition by subtraction. Things got so bad last year that I refused to watch Yankee games when Burnett was the starting pitcher. First Posada gone and now this human pinball machine. Beautiful! ...Look, I know I am a card carrying member of the Diehard Yankee club, but there is still no way I am going to be dishing out money for Official his and hers Yankee fragrances. A 1.7 ounce bottle of this stuff is going to set you back $49. My wife happens to have some perfume that's in that size and the bottle is so small that you can hide it behind a Dixie cup. The next size up is a 3.4 ounce bottle which will only soak 63 dollars out of you. I'm sure this product line will sell well in Boston. ...Got my taxes done yesterday. Another headache out of the way. ...I got to get the latest Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue mainly because Natalie Gulbis will be in it posing in body paint. Oh yeah, and for the articles too. ...Whoever the person was who did the painting on her must have had a real steady hand because If it were me, my hands would have been shaking. ...I thought it was a nice thing that the New Jersey governor did for Whitney Houston on Saturday. He ordered the flags to be lowered to half staff for her despite the protests of people who, pointing at her struggles with substance abuse, argued that she didn't deserve this honor. ...I wonder what NFL team will be deluded enough to pick up Randy Moss just because he's decided to play again? ...After hearing about the death of Gary Carter it made me realize once again how secondary the world of sports really is. In my case I was not a fan of the teams that Carter played for, especially when he played for the Mets. Therefore I didn't root for him. That being said, the sense of loss I felt when I heard that he died last Thursday made me stop what I was doing to say a prayer for him and his family. It would have made me very happy to find out that he had beat this brain cancer that eventually ended up claiming him. The way he played the game and his attitude towards it should be an example to all players who are currently playing and ones in the future.

Just by watching this you could tell how much he loved baseball and being a ballplayer and that he appreciated being a major league player too. Makes you wish they all were like that.

Hey you son of a gun! It's a pleasure to see you around here again. Welcome back. Check out the new TC season mods that came out when you were away. Take care.

You do realize that you responded into a thread that is seven years old? Seven years. The reason why there are broken links is because they are not here anymore.

The audio file for this mod is missing.

Updated to 2-12 ...I didn't win my Super Bowl pool last week but when Tom Brady's final desperation pass fell incomplete I really didn't care. As far as I was concerned, Boston lost and that made me a winner. ...Remember SeanO that used to come around here? Sean made many great Mvp stadiums for those of you who aren't familiar. Well Sean's a huge Boston fan - in fact he lives there- but he hates Brady with a passion. I think that made him the only guy in New England with a smile on his face last Sunday night. ...And it didn't take long for Brazilian model Gisele Bundchen to become a card carrying New Englander, didn't it? You know, blaming other people when you lose and pointing fingers at others. Becoming a sore loser in that area of the country must be as easy as breathing. ...I don't miss football one bit. Although that would probably be different had the Raiders done something these past ten years. ...Watching Yankee games this year is going to be so much better now that Kim Jones has decided to leave the YES Network. In all her years there she has never asked any player an interesting question. In fact, she hasn't been close. So Derek, how did it feel to get the game winning RBI? It felt great Kim. Just taking it day by day. That's great! Back to you Michael. ...Dennis Oil Can Boyd came out in an interview last week to let everyone know that most of the time he was on the mound during his playing career he was on cocaine. Boyd last played in the majors in 1991 and why anyone would give a damn right now what he did would be the first thing you'd wonder but the real reason why he's putting himself back in the news is that he's coming out with a book later on this year. The only people that would want to read about a career 78-77 pitcher are his family and friends and the people he gives free copies to. ...Kevin Youkilis is going to be marrying Tom Brady's sister? I never knew his sister was blind. ...Just watch. Someone on the Yankees is now going to get married just so the Yankees can get equal press time. ...When I come across games that I own like The Pandora Directive and Wacky Wheels -two games I am pretty sure a lot of you have never heard of by the way- it made me realize I held on to this stuff longer than I should have. ...A Tennessee couple was murdered last week all because they de-friended someone on Facebook. For some reason the father of the girl that was de-friended (obviously a capital offense among rednecks with an internet connection) engaged the help of someone and shot the couple to death. This makes people who have never had a Facebook account want to run right out and sign up immediately. ...Hey,don't forget Valentine's day which is only two days away now. To me this is the worst day on the calendar for the entire year. This is when Hallmark and the jewelry stores pressure you into buying a gift for your special someone. Show her you care. That's the catchphrase you'll hear on TV. And all this time I showed her I did care when I got her Christmas gifts seven weeks ago and birthday gifts five weeks ago. Silly me. ...Reading about the death of Whitney Houston immediately brought me back to the late 1980's when I first heard of her. She had a fantastic voice. It was a voice that made you stop what you were doing and listen. Her beauty also matched the quality of her voice. Her drug struggles over the years were well documented and discussed by the media. Right now no one knows how she died but to me that's beside the point. R.I.P. Whitney.

This video seems to be one of the hottest things on Youtube right now. Some guy in North Carolina has a spoiled rotten little piece of &#$* daughter and she posted something on her facebook page that she had to work around the house too much and should be paid, etc. etc. Her father found the post after he installed some software on her laptop for her and made this video and at the end of it, shoots her laptop nine times. Now this little (the word I want to use here rhymes with RUNT) has no laptop, is grounded, and has been shown up in the worse way possible. Cheers for the father.

I'm very happy you liked the review of the mod Dennis. That means a lot to me. And don't concern yourself with those attribute errors. Things happen and that's the way it is. Also, I am very excited about you releasing a version 2.0 for this mod that will enhance the audio even more. And remember, take your time with this. When you get the update done is up to you. No one has a clock on you and you shouldn't feel rushed. Thank you again.

1915 continued Well, that's it. Boston manager Bill Carrigan yanks Ruth in the eighth as he started to tire out. With the Sox leading 15 - 5 he figured he didn't need to keep him out there. Final play of the game. Stuffy McGinnis grounds out to the Red Sox third baseman who in turn does not make an error and throws him out. Red Sox win 15 - 5. A happy bunch of Red Sox celebrate after they take care of the hometown Athletics today. Thank you Dennis James for the Total Classics 1915 mod.

1915 continued Not surprisingly, Babe Ruth was in complete control the entire game even though he faced a Philadelphia team that went 43 - 109 in 1915. The Athletics scored their fourth and final run in the seventh as Amos Strunk knocked home a pair of runs with an RBI single. By this time it was too little too late as the Red Sox had a 13 - 4 lead. Coming into pitch for Philadelphia, Herb Pennock. Pennock's another Hall of Famer you will find on the rosters of this mod. Stuffy McGinnis had a tough time at first base today although it was no fault of his. This here is the fourth error of the game by third baseman Rube Oldberg, who threw the ball as if he didn't know where first base was. Heinie Wagner bothered the Athletics all day. He collected four hits, scored two runs, had three RBI and here with a stolen base.

1915 continued In a preview of what he was to accomplish in the 1920's, Babe Ruth takes Athletics pitcher Weldon Wyckoff (10 - 22 in 1915) deep to extend Boston's lead to 4 - 1. Napoleon Lajoie, however great he was, was not a left handed hitter. This isn't pointed out here to say A-HA! to Dennis, but rather it is part of the mod and therefore is part of the mod review. What Dennis James does for Mvp along with Jim825 is nothing short of sensational. The next time you hear someone say baseball is a game of inches, remember this image. Second baseman Heinie Wagner of the Red Sox has just hit an opposite field two run double to increase Boston's lead to 6 - 1. Wagner could not have placed that ball better even if he had laid it there by hand. Stuffy McGinnis gets a run back for the Athletics with this RBI single in the fifth inning. Overlay of the 1915 Total Conversion Mod. I especially like the picture of Joe Jackson included here.

The next mod to be reviewed in this thread is the 1915 season mod by Dennis James. Anyone who is anyone on this website is familiar with Dennis and the kind of work he does, so if you see his name on a mod you can be assured that the mod is of the highest quality. With this 1915 mod it is obvious that he has accomplished this again. You can download this mod right here. It installs very easy and includes the Legends of the Booth announcers that add that special touch to the game that only Vin Scully, Mel Allen and Ernie Harwell can provide. Once you get the game installed and get into the game you will see that Dennis did a lot in it to give it that early 20th century feel. There are sixteen teams because that's all there were back then and there are correct uniforms and stadiums for each club. As a bonus there are three additional teams to explore. The AL and NL All Stars and the Chicago Whales, who were the champions of the Federal League, which only lasted a couple of years. One note about the All Star teams on here, there was no All Star Game in 1915. The first one was not until 1933. Dennis just got the best players from each league and formed the All Star teams with that. This way you get to play with the best of 1915 under one setting. Also, you may wonder why every player has a zero ( 0 ) for a uniform number. That's because uniform numbers were not used permanently on uniforms until 1929 and Dennis was just being accurate here. The loading screens were a pleasure to look at and I kind of wished my game wouldn't have loaded up so fast because they were impressive. And the music captures the time and period perfectly. There's nothing flashy or overdone in this mod. The overlay is simple and unobtrusive. There's a nice touch with the song "Take me out to the Ballgame" played between innings. And Dennis in his description of the mod said that he removed the fireworks display when someone hits a home run. I thought that was the right thing to do because at that time when they hit a home run they ran around the bases and that was that. There's only one thing that I caught when I first was looking around in the mod that can be corrected easily if this mod gets updated in the future. Some of the player attributes are off, and it is just a simple case of overlooking something, which I am surprised does not happen more often in the creation of these mods. Brooklyn's Zack Wheat is a left handed hitter. In this game he is listed as a switch hitter. Chick Gandil (yes, that Chick Gandil) is listed as a left handed hitter where in fact he hits right handed. The same for Philadelphia Athletics second baseman Nap Lajoie. Finally, Tris Speaker is listed as a right handed hitter and thrower when he actually was lefthanded in throwing and hitting. These roster miscues can be fixed and I am sure they will be if Dennis decides to update this mod like his description said he might. But let me tell you, this did not take away anything from the mod. I believe that if I never brought this up some people would never have known but from what I know of Dennis he is a perfectionist and he'd want to know this. It's not like the guy had some obvious errors in there like having the Boston Braves play in Turner Field. To wrap it up, if you download this mod you won't regret it. And if you download it, thank Dennis or give him a nice rating. Saying thank you goes a long way. Screenshots Welcome to Total Classics 1915! Starting pitcher for the visitors today is Babe Ruth. 1915 was Ruth's first full year in the majors and he went 18 - 8 for Boston. Philadelphia second baseman Napoleon Lajoie gives the Athletics an early 1 - 0 lead over the Sox with an RBI single. This lead did not last long. Athletics first baseman Stuffy McGinnis had his hands full with the throws from third baseman Rube Oldberg all day. This throw however he was able to pull down and record the out. But in the very same inning McGinnis was not as lucky as this errant throw from Oldberg sails past him for a three base error as Boston tied the score at 1 - 1.

When I was younger I would feel sorry for myself because I didn't live in a major league city. I was envious of those people that got to see American or National league games on a regular basis. But now with those high ticket prices I am happy I live in a Triple A city where the ticket prices are very reasonable and I get to see the players before they become big names.

It's been more than three times.

You are not being negative Jim. You were just stating the truth. Just as you said, Trilinear has come here in the past with announcements about some mod he is working on and he stays around a few days, posts some screenshots and answers some questions about his mod and then he disappears for months and the mod he was talking about is never made and quietly forgotten. Does anyone want proof? Ok, you got it. Three years ago he was going to make the new Yankee Stadium. He never made it. Don't believe me? Go in the downloads section and look for it. You won't find it. And while you are there look for ANY mod by Trilinear. You won't find any. There's more. In this thread right here he asks about modding 3D crowds for stadiums and he announces that he is going to be working on the Metrodome followed by Yankee Stadium. And how about the time he announced he was going to release Custom Pants? That never happened either. He also said in the past he was going to release uniforms, but that also never happened. And that is why Jim said what he said. Thank you.

Updated to 2-5 ...Finally Super Bowl Sunday is here. I love this day for a variety of reasons and they have nothing to do with watching the game, which I won't see in its entirety anyway. I love Super Bowl Sunday because it's the end of another football season, baseball is very close to sending their players to Florida and Arizona for spring training and that means spring games and news and photos and interviews before this month is through. ...By default, I have to root for the New York Giants. The be-loyal-to-your-conference argument is a moot point today because I don't wish for any Boston team to win a championship. ...I wonder if Beckett and Lackey were at the Super Bowl this week passing out fried chicken and organizing PS3 tournaments for the Patriots? ...The foot in the mouth prize goes to Tom Brady, who insulted the city of Buffalo by telling a reporter that the hotels in Buffalo are not that good. He immediately took back his comment but Buffalo is a paranoid city to begin with. They take every single comment to heart and when he goes to Rich Stadium next season you can be assured that no one in that stadium is going to forget what he said during the week of this big game. ...By the way, if Brady had said that the weather in Buffalo sucks and no one in their right mind would want to live there or drive by there or have any reason to drop by for a little visit, I'd agree with him. The last time I was in Buffalo was in 1988. That's still not long enough time for me to think about going back. ...The I hate you because you are different dept: A group called the One Million Moms organization has set up a campaign to pressure the J.C. Penney company to fire Ellen DeGeneres as their spokesperson. The members of that organization are probably afraid that their kids will automatically become gay if they wear any of the clothes that DeGeneres is selling on TV. ...My version of hell would be to be trapped inside a Chuck-E-Cheese's on a Saturday afternoon jam packed with kids. ...What the hell is this crap with the Yankees signing ex-Red Sox pitcher Manny Delcarmen? Didn't they pound him enough? And now they want him to pitch for them? Sometimes this team really makes you scratch your head. ...Big thanks to the Washington Nationals for taking Edwin Jackson off the market. The (you guessed it) Yankees were interested in him at one point this off season but for some reason didn't sign him. Now that he's unavailable the Yankees don't have the option of retracing their steps to go back and give this putz a 17 million dollar a year contract so he can turn around and win seven games for them. ...Those Egyptian soccer fans make the Philadelphia fans look like choir boys.
