Updated to 6-7 ...The biggest piece of news for me came late last night with the announcement that Total Classics Phase 10 was released to the public. I am downloading it as I write up this week's random thoughts, and it's safe to say I already love this update. MVP Baseball is great and Total Classics makes it even better. Thank you Jim825 and everyone else involved. ...Not to forget that another season mod was released this week too, the anticipated Mvp 09 mod made exclusively for Mvp Baseball 2004. You can get the mod right here and as a reminder, you must be a member of Eamods to download it. As if we didn't have enough mods to play, now we have two more. ...Saw this link while reading the shoutbox yesterday. I never knew about this baseball site until yesterday. For anyone who loves baseball history you are going to enjoy this site. ...Sarah Palin was in my area today. The Alaska windbag went to Auburn, NY because some guy who was from Auburn named William Seward negotiated the deal to buy Alaska from Russia back in 1867. So she went there as a political ploy. I did not attend. ...Notice once again that the Yankees have to go to Boston to play three more games there? So that means after the first eight games played between these two teams, six of them will be played in Boston. Don't tell me the schedule isn't fixed. ...But now that we are playing better baseball, let's hope for some better results because there is a lot of payback to be given, starting with laughing boy Ellsbury. ...Let's see..three games, about 4 1/2 hours apiece...should take between 13.5 to 14 hours to play. I'll never make it. The Red Sox are well known to drag out games, but this is ridiculous. ...Anyone ever take a good look at Reed Johnson of the Cubs? The guy looks like Kevin Youkilis' brother. ...What's with Mariano and the Rays all of a sudden? ...David Wells is doing a pretty good job with his TBS job.

Yes. It is a huge project so it takes time.

No, his neighbor across the street is.

2004 Continued Jack Wilson of the Pirates, always a steady player for them. Call strike three! Jeremy Guthrie of Baltimore delivers a pitch. There's action in the Baltimore bullpen. PNC Park in Pittsburgh. Time for a pitching change. Aubrey Huff goes down swinging for the final out of the game as Pittsburgh wins a slugfest, 11 - 8.

Finally I am very happy to say I'm able to update this thread with another season mod. The last few pages in here got us a little off track, mainly thanks to one person who is not amongst the Mvpmods community any longer. Piratesmvp04 has released a mod for the Mvp Baseball 2004 game that will update that game to the 2009 baseball season. The rosters are accurate up to April 25th of this year. There are updated stadiums, player portraits and uniforms to reflect the 2009 season. I played a game just now and captured some screenshots to get a feel of this mod and I'll be honest with you, it did not even take me that long to really enjoy it. This is a wonderful mod. Here are some views, questions and opinions I thought of while I was playing: ...The stadiums and uniforms look top notch. Although like in the 08 mod I think there are too many fantasy uniforms for each team. I like the retro stuff much better. ...I like the datafile and camera views that I saw. ...Excellent choice for the Jukebox. Not one complaint about the song list. ...The overlay is fine, but I will be changing it as soon as possible. The only reason for that is I personally can't stand the FOX Network, so I don't want to see their logo. That's all. ...Will the rosters be updated over the course of the year? ...Good looking photos used for the loading screens. ...What's the obsession with Jay Bruce? NOTES: If you want this mod right now, you can download it from this site right here. This is only a temporary link because it will eventually be put back on EAmods. The file on Eamods had a CRC error in it and it did not extract fully. My guess is that you can download this mod once again at EAmods either later today or tomorrow. Don't forget, there's a huge MVP 2004 section right here on this site where you can a lot more mods for this game. More uniforms, overlays and CTS screens. And one more reminder, this MVP 09 version is not to be confused with the upcoming MVP 09 version for Mvp 05. This mod is to be used for the 2004 game with Albert Pujols on the cover. Remember this is the 2004 version of the game and if you try to put in KATIE ROY in the game to unlock everything it will NOT WORK. But don't worry, there's another code that will do the exact same thing. Create a player named NICK ROY and save it. Then you'll have all the stadiums, uniforms and players. MOD SCREENSHOTS Zach Duke retires Aubrey Huff in the first inning Speedy Nyjer Morgan reaches first safely as the O's are unable to complete a double play. Greg Zaun gets a hold of one off Zach Duke. Brian Roberts tries to bunt to get on base and the Bucs barely throw him out. Baltimore forces out the lead Pittsburgh runner on an unsuccessful sacrifice bunt attempt. The Pirate dugout cheers for Nate McClouth after he hits a two run double. Close play at the play, and he's out.

Not a chance. This mod is still in the planning stages. Work just began on this.

Updated to 5-31 ...Twice a year we go to the Waterloo outlet Mall to do some shopping and yesterday morning was our first time this year. I should correct this. She does the shopping while I wait outside and sit and wish I was someplace else. ...Not that I was alone. There's benches all over that mall and every one of them were taken up by some guy who was doing the same thing I was, being bored and trying not to show it. ...Towards the end of it, I was so tired I couldn't even do the required girl watching. ...I tried the Pepsi Throwback drink the other day. It's not bad and you can tell that their is a difference. ...Next year Mindy McCready will be on a reality TV show called Celebrity rehab. No word as of yet if Roger Clemens will make a guest appearance. ...Gas prices once again are on the rise and just in time for summer too! Don't tell me that this isn't planned. ...Do those midges and mosquitoes only show up in Cleveland when the Yankees are there? ...If those midges need something to do, go and bother Jose Veras. ...It's just nice to see this ballclub playing as good as they should. They're not making excuses, they are just going out and playing the game right. ...Yeah, Zach Grienke had a great month of May (and it still isn't over because he's pitching today) but let's see how he does in June. There's no way he's this good. ...Highly touted catching prospect Matt Wieters is up with the Orioles now. It's unclear as of now if he's had any time to perform miracles yet.

Your best bet is to send OTB Joel a PM and let him know this.

Updated to 5-24 ...A very early morning update to this thread this time. I was watching a movie on the Sci-Fi channel last night called Lake Placid 2 and before I go on I have to admit that these are not the kind of movies I watch at all. In fact I can't stand scary movies. They have a habit of giving me nightmares about the movie. Which is why I am up right now. ....On Friday night I went to see Night at the Museum 2: Battle of the Smithsonian. I was waiting for this one to come out for quite some time after I originally saw the previews months ago and I wasn't disappointed. I'd see it again and I think if you liked the first one, you will like this one. Also, after watching this movie it did not affect my sleep one bit. ...The girl that played Amelia Earhart in the movie, Amy Adams, has a very nice..um, smile. ...Notice to all Will Farrell haters: The guy who thinks of himself as an actor and a comedian is coming out with yet another movie. This one's called The Land of the Lost. The thing about this guy is that he can't act and he isn't funny at all, but yet he keeps making movies. ...Nice to see the chat function get re-introduced on the website. To access it, just check out the top of the home page of the site and click on "chat." See you in there sometime. ...The wonderful thing about this website is that we keep getting new people that join up that quickly become important members of the site just by their presence here daily. Guys like rroy and Wicked come to mind right away. Of course right now I'm forgetting others and forgive me for that. It's 4:30 am and did not expect to be up at this time. ...Well, at least we got the team right Dept: Yesterday during the Phillie-Yankee game on SUX, I mean FOX, John Mayberry Jr of the Phillies hit his first home run of his major league career. FOX immediately zoomed in on what they thought was his father, former player John Mayberry, in the stands as he was wearing a Phillie hat and was clapping and cheering. The problem was, this wasn't John Mayberry. It was just a fan who just happened to be cheering on his Phillies. At least FOX admitted their mistake but not before Tim McCarver gave a detailed explanation as to why it could have been John Mayberry. ...What I like most about this current streak the Yankees are on is that everyone is helping. They're pitching well, fielding well and getting timely hitting. And it isn't just one guy who is relied on. That's what is most important. This is also something that I did not see at all in 2008. ...Because you know when Jose Veras gets credit for a win, things are going your way. ...Everyone enjoy your Memorial Day weekend. And remember when you are enjoying your hot dog today and watching a game, reflect on what this day actually stands for.

I can not believe after all this time this topic has not been stickied. I apologize and it has been corrected.

1978, but I do see your point here. Thank you.

Yeah, well ok. :lol:

Updated to 5-17 ...It's now official after all this time. Beginning June 1st we all will need passports to go to Canada or Mexico because of course none of us can be trusted. Traveling will be down. One passport costs over 100 dollars and it takes four to six weeks to process. There goes any plans of seeing the Yankees at the Skydome. Thanks a lot you *&*&*(#$ Arabs. ...It is a guarantee in life that the first day you go out with a new pair of shoes on that it is going to rain. ...What the heck is Twitter? Whatever it is, they couldn't have thought of a better name? ...One day last week I was watching some Yankee World Series highlights on the MLB Network (yes, sometimes they actually show stuff that is not Red Sox related) and it was nice reliving all those wonderful moments from the Championship years again. But after it was done it really made me kind of depressed because I realized those days were done and that we were now stuck with this current team. ...Grateful for people like Nick Swisher in the world. At least he shows he cares. ...Kim Jones of all people has a great blog on the YES Network homepage. And speaking of that website, the post game plus feature they have on there is everything a Yankee fan needs. ...Edwar Ramirez needs to be given a sandwich and then right after that, his outright release. ...What's the over and under that Brett Favre comes back again and does anyone care except for Brett Favre? ...What is it with pitchers throwing at Ian Kinsler of the Rangers? ...Let's go Orlando Magic. Those people in that city have had it their way much too long now. Beat the snot out of them.

Updated to 5-10 ...Happy Mother's Day to all the mothers out there. I hope you all have a nice and relaxing day like you all deserve. and thank you for everything. ...I am not a fan of his and never will be, but I was not happy to learn of Manny Ramirez' fifty game suspension for use of performance enhancing drugs. ...Although if someone like Albert Pujols gets caught next, that would be hilarious. Only because he's been denying it all this time and that I don't give a damn about him. ...Nice to see Alex Rodriguez come back. If the Yankees do anything this year they obviously will need him. And by the way, nice move by the Orioles to sell those foam syringe needles with "A-Roid" written on them. It's just another reason of many for me not to care about or compliment any other team in baseball besides my own. Just makes me wonder what the uneducated rabble in one certain city that ends with OSTON is going to do next month when the Yankees have to play there. ...Save your complaints about the previous two statements here. I don't care. ...I will continue to wear my Yankee hat with pride wherever I go around town even if it appears that they are looking like the worst team in baseball. ...I just want them to get back on top again, not for me or my own satisfaction, but for the pride that is associated with that team. ...Just watching them play over the past few years has taken away what little patience I have with them. ...We all know what the problem is but still nothing is done about it. They have pitchers who can not throw strikes, who are more comfortable pitching behind the count, are not aggressive enough, who do not protect their hitters and accept losing with an easy and carefree attitude. ...I wish I could not care what this team does, but I can't. But what I can do is not waste my evenings watching this dark comedy anymore. I got better things to do with my life. ...Good to see fruit basket Zach Grienke lose last night but he didn't get lit up in the process. This is a guy I'd even like to see the Red Sox light up.

Updated to 5-3 ...I think the idea by Hoop27 and the rest of those guys who want to make their own baseball game really is not a bad one. Sure, it might be tough but I don't bet against anyone here or root against them. If they think they can do this, so do I. ...I finished that Crazy 08 book that I got last week. What a book. I found out a lot of things that I never knew before about baseball. Here's just two. I learned that that Pirates had a very good shot of signing Walter Johnson before the Senators did and that if they would have increased the offer to purchase Napolean Lajoie, he would have been a Pirate also. The thought of a Honus Wagner and Napolean Lajoie infield would have been something. ...These are the kind of sports books I love. Baseball ones and at the same time you learn something about the game. I don't like the kind of books like that new Alex Rodriguez one that's on it's way. It's not baseball, it's more like a National Enquirer type of book filled with allegations and he said-she said material. ...Friday night I had to go to the movies. It was her choice. I got roped into seeing Ghosts of Girlfriends Past. It was ok, and by that I mean I've seen worse, but the one I'm really waiting for is the sequel to Night of the Museum. ...One thing I noticed after that movie was done that Jennifer Garner has a face like a collie. ...One other one that I've got to see is Angels and Demons and that's going to be released on May 15. You can check out trailers for it on this website here. ...Did the Yankees beat the Angels two in a row or did I read that wrong? I know they blew it last night. That was more like it. ...And it sure would be a good idea if Sabathia and Teixeira would start to show up. Like right around now. ...One question. If Wang was hurt like this with his hip for quite some time now like I read, why couldn't they tell during spring training? ...For those of you who are still on the fence about getting 2K9 for the PC all I can tell you is to go to youtube and type in MLB 2K9 and just look at the videos that have been posted. ...Glad to see In Plain Sight come back for a second season. That's quickly become one of my favorites.

Because they asked once. You've asked too many times.

Ok look. It's obvious to me you know your way around virtual drives. You are able to mount and unmount your images that you have. You can at least agree with me on this. If you know how to use the images for this game you should also know how to make these images. And that means you could have made images from your original disks and that would not have caused you the problems you are now having. The original poster of this thread said he used images for this game. That's not the issue here. Using images are not the problem here. You can make images of your original disks. But you clearly stated that you downloaded these images and that's something I don't understand if you in fact do own the original two disks. You're having problems installing things and it is because you have made images from a downloaded version of this game. Because all you got to do to fix these problems is to use your original disks because those disks will not give you the problems you are experiencing right now. But you can't because it's obvious you do not own the game. You are not the only person who has had problems with this downloaded version of Mvp baseball. It is clear to me that the copy of this downloaded game is not 100% perfect and that's why problems have arisen with it. Oh well. That's the chance you take when you download a game. Which brings us back to my original point. Since you downloaded this game, you will not get any support for the problems you are having. Because if you do actually own this game, you can fix these problems you are having just by using the proper disks. And that's as far as I am going to go with this.

What the hell is a falled.big? Or do you mean failed?

I am sure that this will end up being a great mod to use. What I would do if I were you is pick the brains of the people who have already made season mods for advice and tips in case you run into any questions along the way. Above all, good luck to you.

NO. You have a pirated game. You get no support here because of that. Don't take it personal.
