I just wanted to throw my 2 cents in as well and thank Joel for a great, great mod. I am 42 years old and stopped playing video games about 8 years ago (just lost interest), but when my Cincy Reds started playing well this year, I kind of got nostalgic about High Heat, read up every review I could find and discovered MVP 2005. I have the '07 version (can't get the '08 total mod to install no matter what I do--use the discs, do it with a virtual drive mounted, nothing works, it always says "can't find CD1"), and I have put in some camera/data file mods that really enhance the game. It's truly amazing.
Then I started a season and was ready to trash it all after hearing Krukow say the same stupid things 20 times per game. Joel's mod has completely saved this game for me. It does have some gaps because it's not yet complete, like the aforementioned silences (sometimes it will go an inning or more with NO commentary at all? Then randomly start it up again?) and the silence after home runs sucks, but even in this early stage, this mod has literally made this game bearable to play.
Just wanted to say thanks to OTCJoel and to anyone who is helping this, and to encourage to post any updated versions of the files as they are complete. I realize that you're probably a long way from being done with this, but even a few less gaps and some home run commentary would be a huge improvement over this already essential mod.
If only we could get Marty Brenneman and Joe Nuxhall!
