You're missing the point. It doesn't have anything to do with them being Yankees. I used Jeter because he is a Hall of Famer that is not accused of being a steroid user and is clearly showing that he is friends with David Ortiz. I used Mantle because he was a known alcoholic that was never accused of steroid use. Both very relevant to the discussion. Plus, I am talking to a huge Yankee fan so their names were the first I thought of. I am sorry if that offended you, but we are accusing a Tiger of cheating for no reason. I know nothing of a friendship between the Cabrera and Ortiz except maybe a few pictures. I'm sure you can find pictures of Ortiz with every player. Doesn't make them steroid users. I have really yet to hear a legitimate reason as to why we are even talking about this. It is all just random speculation with no real facts to back up anything.
-
Then why bring up the fact that he was in trouble? That has nothing to do with Ortiz. I know nothing about their personal lives and whether they are friends or not. No one really does except them. I will say though, that both are pretty friendly and respected among the league. So I'm sure they talk as much as any players. I mean we have pictures like this: We can't call all of Ortiz's "friends" steroid users.
-
When I brought up Trout's jump in numbers, you said, "I'm not questioning Trout. The guy's never been in trouble so there is no reason to accuse him of something". Of course Mantle wasn't on steroids. No one would accuse him of being a steroid user just because he had a drinking problem. There is no direct link between the two. Outside of his incidents with alcohol, what trouble has Cabrera been in? Accusing him of steroids because of his past alcohol related issues just doesn't make sense to me.
-
Cabrera had a drinking problem and got into an altercation with his wife. The incident with his wife is inexcusable and shouldn't have happened. He screwed up big time, but that doesn't make him a cheater. The incident wasn't caused by roid rage, it was caused by a problem with alcohol. Plenty of people have a problem with alcohol and it doesn't make them a bad person or a person more likely to cheat at baseball. Mickey Mantle was known to have an alcohol problem among other things, but no one calls him a steroid user. Like I said, he has been working on his problem and hasn't had any issues since. This doesn't make him a bad person and I've never heard any player say a bad thing about the guy.
-
Again, it probably has more to do with the fact that Cabrera was 17 years old and playing minor league baseball. Most 17 year old kids are still in high school. Why is it so hard to believe that a kid just developed? Mike Trout (a guy that gotribematt said he thought was not a steroid user) hit 30 HR in his rookie year. Do you know how many he hit in his last full year in the minors? 11. So can we just call him a steroid user too? This is how ridiculous this whole argument is. God forbid someone just be a better player than everyone else. Every generation has its standouts and guys like Cabrera and Trout are this generation's. It doesn't make them cheaters.
-
I only did because he is seen as the ultimate clean guy from that era. This whole thing is pretty pointless though. He obviously wants to believe that Cabrera is steroid user and I'm not going to be able to convince him otherwise. I guess just believe what you want.
-
Like I said before, the mistakes of others shouldn't be a knock against him. You shouldn't judge an entire race of people based on the actions of a few and you shouldn't judge all baseball players based on a select group of cheaters. The game is much different now than it was in the past. Until he fails a test, he should be considered clean. To me this point makes no sense. What, when he was 17 years old? Players typically do not hit well right away. It takes time to develop and adjust to Major League pitching. That is the entire point of the Minor Leagues. Cabrera never hit 40 HR until his 9th year in the majors. Ken Griffey, Jr. never hit more than 14 HR in the minors. He hit 45 HR in his 5th year in the majors. He must be a steroid user too, right? This also doesn't work for me. You're right. You have no proof to show that he is a cheater. If he was an Indian, you would absolutely love the guy. The personal life stuff is just that, personal. Who are you or I to judge a guy who had an alcohol problem? He has admitted mistakes and have tried to better himself. This doesn't make him a bad person. Let's not forget that he has been nominated twice for the Roberto Clemente Award for his work with children.

I wish I could give you an answer to this Dennis, but it is something that I never could figure out myself. To this day I still have this problem when trying to change the license screen. Sorry I can't be any help, but I hope you figure it out because it is something I would like to know too.
-
Boston looks great. The red is way better than the boring blue road. The old green A's jersey was better, but this one is nice too. The Giants and Royals look great, but I wish the Royals would wear those with white pants. The worst of them all is that the Dodgers feel it is necessary to have both of these jerseys in the rotation this year.
-
That Braves jersey... Great job Dennis. This should be an awesome mod.
-
Well Homer, switching the uniforms.big seemed to solve the problem. Thank you so much. I will definitely let you know about converting the uniforms. Dennis, thank you for your help as well. The uniform limit is something we will have to take into consideration and we may have to limit the amount of uniforms we put in. Thank you both.
-
Which is what I was doing. I guess my question now becomes how far can I push the models.big file? If it's not filled with cyberfaces then that should save some room, right? And I just saw you said kraw's uniform.big and not models.big. My mistake.
-
Thanks Dennis, I'll give this a try when I get home. Hopefully that will solve my problems. Thanks a lot.
-
I've been installing them on a new models.big and creating them in 2x. I've only made 100 or so uniforms so I don't think I've reached it yet. Now if I use kraw's model will I still reach this limit eventually? I would hate to do this, but if I limit the teams to say 4 uniforms each, would I still be over the limit? That would be a little depressing, but if it's the only way... I've taken the .fsh files for the u and f files and .bmp files for selection screens and packed them up into a .rar.
-
Yup, I've added uniforms, fonts and selection screens. I've done this before and had no problem, but for some reason I am now. It crashes as soon as I select the team and it goes to the uniform selection/preview screen. It crashes immediately without showing any of the uniforms. 081 and 118. Like I said, I've done this before so I don't know why I'm having problems. Thanks for taking a look. I don't know if you have access to the Dropbox, but if not I can send my files over if you need them. Hopefully it's just something I've missed. Thanks a lot.
-
This thread kind of got buried quick, but I'm still having this problem. I'm guessing the slots just are not supported or something, but I'm curious to know if it's something else. Any ideas?
-
While working on the NCAA Mod I found that if I add uniforms to minor league teams at slots M,N, and O the game crashes at the uniform selection screen. Is there a reason or work around for this? I've only tried it with two teams, but so far I'm 0 for 2. I would prefer to not have to delete uniforms if I don't have to. I've been installing with TiT and the slots I've tried were at 081 and 118.

In my mind and in many others, MVP stands for Most Valuable Player and is not the player of the year trophy. As weird as it sounds, to me there is a difference. Is it Trout's fault the Angles are losing? Absolutely not. However, how your team finishes should play a factor. I will admit though that it should be a small one because like you said, it's not his fault and he is playing great. Believe it or not, he is not an awful fielder. He is not great by any means, but he has an absolute cannon and makes most of the plays he gets to. His range sucks, but lets not forget he would be playing first on most teams. Saying that he hurts the Tigers by running the bases just isn't true at all. I know you probably won't believe it, but I'm not being bias. In the past 25 years only 5 players have hit over .360. Cabrera had an MVP season last year and has only done better this year. Forget the triple crown completely, he's playing better than anyone. I also said Chris Davis has a pretty good case for winning it too. And as I'm typing this, home run off Mariano. -

I know I haven't posted here in a long time, but I was curious to know why. The numbers don't lie. Mike Trout- BA-.328 HR-20 RBI-71 OBP-.423 SLG-.572 in 114 games for a third place team. Miguel Cabrera- BA-.363 HR-35 RBI-109 OBP-.455 SLG-.676 in 107 games for a team with the third best record overall. Trout is no doubt having a great year, but Cabrera has a legitimate chance at a second triple crown here. Trout may have him beat in stolen bases and fielding, but Cabrera is having too good of a year. For some reason, I don't think he gets the credit he deserves sometimes. Chris Davis has a pretty good argument for MVP as well, but his average is a little lower. -
Oh absolutely. If I was given a "main event" match at Wrestlemania I would so careful about what I did. I wouldn't drive anywhere and would stay in the hotel as much as possible. Risking your shot makes no sense to me. The worst part is I read that Dutch Mantel was involved so that he could raise money for his granddaughter who died in a car crash. If that is true then what Swagger did just sucks. But yeah, it will be interesting to see what they do. This might just be what Dolph needs to finally get his push.
-
I kind of liked his new gimmick. I was kind of interested in how far WWE was going to let him push his whole Zeb Colter/Tea Party thing, especially with him facing the Mexican Del Rio. Kind of bummed about that. Basically, here is what I think they could do now that Swagger will be suspended if not fired. On Raw have Swagger and Del Rio involved in a tag match or something, lights go out and the Shield destroys everyone and "injures" Swagger (justice because Swagger came back and was just given a shot) and attacks Del Rio. Ziggler comes out and cashes in MITB and wins the championship. Shield looks strong, writes out Swagger, and it sets up Ziggler vs. Del Rio at Mania.

Jack Swagger arrested for DUI, marijuana possession, and speeding :facepalm:

The orange hats and socks are for Saturday home games. At the actual unveiling the only thing they didn't show was the orange hats. Its also listed this way on SportsLogos.net, which is usually pretty good with these sorts of things. The uniforms look great though. I would for sure download these if I had 2k12. :good:

We think alike. Still a great song.
