I don't think I've faced them. I'll keep and eye on them. But since you said they were also as tough, I'm not looking forward to it hahaha.

Hey Jim825! I'm playing the dynasty mode on TC 1978, and man, that is awesome! Just unbelievable. Also, Ron Guidry and Nolan Ryan... they are almost unbeatable. Great job on that conversion mod. Kudos to you! :clapping:

It plays better on 7 than it did on Vista. At least with me. Plus, you have the compatibility tab, where you can choose some settings.

I still have to hit the refresh button to see the topics. Don't know why, though...

One thing that has been bothering me a lot is the type of errors the CPU is making. If I hit a line drive to the outfield, and clearly that's going to be a double, and somehow the CPU outfielder mess up the catch, I don't even get credited with a base hit!? It's like I reached the base because of his error, while in fact and was almost getting to 2nd base or sometimes heading to third base. Is this a game bug, or is it my datafile? I'm using Jim825_combo_datafile_v5. Thanks!

I've created a roster and started a dynasty, but I want to make more changes. If I make these changes, will they affect my dynasty? No. The rosters that you start the dynasty with are stored in the dynasty file itself, and that hasn't been edited successfully yet. If you want your created dynasty to have the latest changes you've made, you'll have to restart your dynasty. The same applies to owner mode. This is where I think I screwed up. I have KG's 7.31 Plus rosters, along with kg_faces and kg_cyberfaces_addon1. I'm using my own roster, based on KG's last rosters (7.1 or 7.2), because I changed some attributes and types of pitches. So, every time I run the game, I load my roster. But I got a little bit too cocky, and I decided to play with MVPedit and KG's .mbe file. I changed San Francisco Giants' Pablo Sandoval bone profile (personal) and some other things on the clothing section - arm bands, gloves... -. However, this is where I screwed up. I clicked file -> export -> dat files. And went to play the game. With the reseted rosters (KG's 7.31) Sandoval didn't change anything - his stats, appearance, nothing... - , but his cyber face was OK (it had been modified with kg_cyberfaces_addon1. But when I load MY roster (again, it's the same one as KG's but I made some tweaks for myself), Pablo Sandoval has a generic face. What the heck did I do!? Can someone help me? Thanks, guys!

Good thing: I downloaded that program that supposedly will increase the pitch meter, and it did. Bad thing: my game now looks like this: I'll try something different tomorrow...

I just changed the value to 255 and no difference. I tried with those programs but couldn't increase the green bar. Heck, I guess I'll have to adjust myself to that hard pitch meter. Wish me luck! Thanks for helping me out! P.S.: I'm gonna start playing with those sliders you posted here, almost exactly identical, so maybe I'll fall in love with the pitch meter just like you did :lol:

I'm gonna bother you once again, daflyboys. So, I read the thread you posted before, I opened the datafile.txt with DFCompUtil and bigGUI, changed the values on 'perfectaccuracygreen' from 127 (I think) to 185 or 200 but nothing changed. It seems that the datafile ins't replacing the values, because the green bar in the pitch meter remains too small. What am I doing wrong here?

I need to leave now, but i'll read that thread for sure. I was searching for thread that would help, but all the links directed me to the homepage of mvpmods. Later tonight or early tomorrow I'll reply this thread here. Thanks for you help daflyboys!

I may be onto something. I opened the datafile.big with BigGUI or whatever it's called, and exported the datafile.txt to my desktop. All I got to do is search in this exported datafile.txt the values and copy and change that value. Is that right? But I have no idea what's the value that corresponds to the green bar on the pitch meter. I think the size of the pitch meter is good, but the green bar should be bigger.

Maybe it's 92 PitchLocGreen, or 116 MeterStartGreen, 124 MeterBackgroundGreen, 128 OutlineGreen, 141 PerfectAccuracyGreen, 147 LineColorGreen, 152 AccuracyGreen, or even 156 MeterGreen? I downloaded MD's datafiles lines (excel format), and DFCompUtil, but I don't know what values should I put. And since you and I are using the same datafile, and thought I'd ask you :)

OK, now I'm using the pitch cursor on "fade" and the game is much more realistic. More BB and more pitches thrown. However, even with the pitch meter difficulty at +50 I can't get strikes and it's too hard to play against the cpu. daflyboys, sorry to bother you again, but what do I have to change on the datafile to get the green bar on the pitch meter a little bigger? It's too small. Thanks

I tried the "no-look" method once. Well, I walked a lot of batters and couldn't locate my pitches. But heck, that's the most realistic feature. Maybe I'll get use to it, but as of now I'm not a very good.

Yeah, I noticed last night the difference between the timing of the pitchers. It's kinda cool. So, is there any way to chance the timing between MY pitches? I think the pitch cursor takes a lot of time to show up and I like to pitch in a faster pace, kinda like Mark Buehrle. But with the currently delay between my pitches, it feels like I'm Josh Beckett, staring at the hitters for a long time instead of just throwing. Thanks!

No more manual pickoff return! I just got picked off 3 times in the same game. That had never happened before. Hahaha By the way, with MD datafile, is there a way to reduce the time between the pitches thrown? I think it's a little slow for my taste :p

One question, daflyboys: Pickoff return? Manual or automatic? I've always used automatic, but started to play with manual return. Damn, it's tough! hahahaha

I liked this set of sliders. I'm using one similar to this. But I don't play well enough to use the Pitch Meter Difficulty at +5. I'm using +50 and it hasn't been easy. Overall, I use different values: * User pitcher fatigue: a little less than 0, because I still think the CPU batters aren't patient enough, so if I keep pitching within the K zone, I'll have a complete game fairly often. * Bullpen values I put a little bit higher, because I like to keep the pitchers warming for a longer period. * User Bunting Ability at -10? I suck so bad trying to bunt that it's embarrassing. I'm currently using +12 in User bunt ability. * User Runner Steal Delay, for me, has too be at least -30. Otherwise I'll be thrown out 9 times out of 10. I suck at stealing bases. * Injuries: OFF! I got so pissed off with constant injuries in my dynasty that it drove me crazy. I played with the Red Sox, and Jason Varitek got injured 4 times in the same season. Torn ACL (60 days) + Ribcage (2 weeks) + Minor torn ACL (2 weeks) + Ribcage again (How about another 2 weeks?). He missed a ton of games, and finished with miserable stats. So, no more injuries for me! Maybe I'll some of the values that you posted here, since I'm getting used to play with MD datafile. Gotta say: I'm lovin' it Thanks for the tips!

Man, you're right. I just played a game with MD datafile (v 3.1) and the cameras look so nice. I'm gonna try Hoop27's sliders and see how it goes. Maybe I'll tweak a little bit Hoop27's PRO/ALLSTAR Sliders with the MVP 07 mod V3.0 (Kumala's updated datafile) another datafile another update User Pitch Meter Difficulty: 50 Pitch Speed: -5 CPU Pitcher Ball Rate: 19 User Pitcher Fatigue: -2 CPU Pitcher Fatigue: 5 User Pitch Control: -40 CPU Pitch Control: -25 Bullpen Fatigue Rate: 0 Bullpen Fatigue Grace: 0 User Batting Contact: 15 CPU Batting Contact: 15 User Batting Power: 15 CPU Batting Power: 20 User Bunting Ability: 5 CPU Bunting Ability: 5 User Foul Ball Frequency: 50 CPU Foul Ball Frequency: 50 CPU Swing Frequency: -28 User OF Speed (Manual & MVP): -15 CPU OF Speed: -15 User IF Speed (Manual & MVP): -10 CPU IF Speed: -10 User Throw Speed: 0 CPU Throw Speed: -0 User Throw Accuracy: -5 CPU Throw Accuracy: -5 User Catch Errors: 10 CPU Catch Errors: 25 User Dive Difficulty: 0 CPU Catch Effort: -15 User Baserunning Speed: 0 CPU Baserunning Speed: 0 User Runner Aggression: 0 CPU Runner Aggression: -7 User Runner Steal Speed: -2 CPU Runner Steal Speed: -2 User Runner Steal Delay: -8 CPU Runner Steal Delay: -8 CPU Steal Rate: 0 Runner Injury Frequency: 0 Pitcher Injury Frequency: 0 Batter Injury Frequency: 0 Fielder Injury Frequency: 0 Pitching MG Difference: 0

Hey daflyboys, I think I solved my problem with extra-base hits! I'm using Trues datafile (Angled + default difficulty), playing at All-star level, and using some combination of sliders. The big reason why I wasn't getting extra-base hits was because of the speed of the outfielders. I had changed the sliders the other way (CPU OF Speed: +25, when I was supposed to put -25). So, every time I hit a ball to the outfield, the Super Fast OF always caught the ball. I'm still tweaking, so I'll be posting here the results. ^_^

I wasn't expecting another update so soon! So, once again, thank you so much KG.

It bugged me a little bit the delay between the pitches. Let's see if I can adjust myself to that. One thing, though: Looking at those three games from the box score you showed me, Braves @ Phillies, you had a total of 26 hits, you had just one x-base hit (2B with Jason Werth). I'm really struggling to play at All-Star difficulty, so I don't think I'll do well at all with those sliders but I'll give it a try. In fact, that's one of the things that bugs me the most: the pitch count. It's so rare to have a realistic pitch count in my games, 80 pitch complete game, that sucks. Anyway, this weekend I'll try these sliders you sent me, and hope to have good results :)

Well, I liked those box scores. I'm gonna finish my World Series - couple games left - then I'll start a dynasty using those sliders. I appreciate your help.
