After whatever you get done this weekend, shoot me the .mbe you got, (we've emailed before back in the day) with the last day you made roster updates and I'll go back thru the transactions and put people where they belong for you, and send it back. The least I can do for all your hard work.

How goes the project daflyboys? I'm very interested in seeing your final product and helping find the "glaring changes" you spoke of. Is there any way I can get the .mbe from you when you're done for MVPEdit. I downloaded the .dat files from your last update in October and uploaded them into MVPEdit but it only gave me 1-2 players for each team ... one of a handful of problems I've had with MVP12 like TiT not working right. I'd love to get an updated roster, as I usually get one from the end of the season and keep up with the changes through the winter meetings, but with the problems I've had with MVP12 the latest one I have is from August, and there've been a ton of moves.

Finally got around to upgrading to MVP12 (to repeat prior sentiment, awesome work guys) and have been pulling down new portraits, audio, cyberfaces, etc. that came out after the conversion or weren't included. I just realized that they aren't changing, i.e. Verlander audio, a couple of the MOD 2012 faces, Carlos Lee and Ichiro portraits. I run TiT on them and then go into the game, nothing's changed. I've even reinstalled a fresh copy of TiT but it's more of the same. I uninstalled from the game from the CD menu -- but very few files were deleted -- and put a clean copy of 05 on then then ran the MVP12 changer and patches over it. That all worked and the game runs just fine, just TiT doesn't. It's worth mentioning I'm running Windows7 and the game is in the Program Files (x86)/EA Sports/MVP folder on my drive and not the regular Program Files folder, but it was the same way when I ran MVP08. Suggestions, fine modders? I'm also having an unusually hard time getting the new BaseUp rosters in, it crashes the game, but I'll direct that problem directly to Daflyboys.

Hey Y4L here's the link to my blog, with my Sunday Morning Musings maiden voyage ... http://www.phoulballs.com/2012/04/sunday-morning-musings-april-22.html?spref=fb

Hey Y4L this thread has become required reading for me at lunch on Mondays at work. You've inspired me to do a version on my blog. I'm a Philly guy, but this proves that even occassionally we can get along.

Credit where credit is due, pards.

At some point on this site I saw someone quote the maximum number of players you could have in a roster set before it crashed the game. Since I'm working on a 2012 roster I want to stay under that number, I've looked all over but can't find it. I posed it to roster updating guru Daflyboys but he didn't know. Any veteran modders know the number off hand? The total number of slots is 3255, but the number has to be much, much lower.

I just noticed the cyberface/portrait file and downloaded it and ran it thru TiT before I noticed you gave Yu Face #4, which is currently used by Nolan Reimold. Since I already ran TiT on it (yeah yeah, back up your .bigs, but I haven't had to do that in years because of the general reliability of recent mods), should I worry about it crashing the game when I upload the roster set I'm working on? Would changing Reimold to a 901-909 face prevent a problem? *EDIT: When I run TiT on the cyberface/portrait file, it stops on the yellow "Installing textures and other files" box. Concern?

I ran Dylan's Pitcher Rating program on Yu's stats and got these ratings ... Fastball -- 92 velocity, 86 control Curveball/Slurve -- 82 V, 84 C, 10 movement 12-6 (down) Slider -- 86 V, 83 C, 6 M 10-4 Left diag. Changeup -- 74 V, 81 M, 4 M 12-6 (down) Been told he also has a cutter/2-seam FB and splitter/sinker. Stamina = 72 if you run his Japanese league stats as AAA (I've been told the talent pool over there is about AAA caliber on average), and 96 if you run it as MLB. I'm inclined to keep him in the high 70s until he proves he's a horse and inning eater over here.

I was wondering if there was still enough steam in this site and this game for the 2012 sched to come out. i was actually looking into the specs of doing it myself ... nevermind! Dylan, it's an annual thing of beauty. Thank you so much. If there's anything I can do to contribute or repay (I'm working on new rosters), please let me know.

How do you change Florida Marlins to Miami Marlins in MVPedit?
