Perfect for use with the great 1974 TC Mod released this summer by Jim825. Since the Yankees had to play the 1974-75 seasons at Shea Stadium while Yankee Stadium was being renovated; here are the Day & Night versions you can use to play your Yankee games. This will replace the Yankee Stadiums ideally for the '74 Mod.

*Please copy the included yankday/yanknite .TXT files to your /data directory for proper physics/collision data*

Enjoy!!

Minor update to give the old Oakland Coliseum a 1970s feel to it. Perfect for the 1974 & 1978 TC Mods. Day & Night versions included.

Enjoy!!

Here's an ad & stadium update for the Busch Stadium from the recent TC 1974 Mod. I added some period-correct ads to the stadium and the all-important astro-turf instead of grass. This should work great for the 1974 & 1978 TC Mods.

Day & Night versions included.

Enjoy!!

Here is a converted Shea Stadium for the 1970s. You can use this one with the TC Mods (1974 & 1978 editions) and with the Total Classics Phase 10 Mod. Day and Night versions included.

*The only snag I hit was that I found when editing anything with this stadium; that for some reason, it doesn’t make the dugout railing “transparent”. It’s nearly unnoticeable and I personally did not find it distracting but your mileage may vary.*

Jim825, please let me know what you think and I plan on getting a “Yankees” Shea Stadium up in a day or so. Thanks for the positive feedback from you and Y4L.

Enjoy everyone!!

Back to the days of the Mel Gibson Pirate Logo...it's an Ad and Stadium update for Three Rivers Stadium for use with the TC 1974 & 1978 Mods. Day & Night versions included.

Enjoy!!

Update to Veterans Stadium (home of the Phillies from 1971-2003) for use with the 1974 & 1978 Mods. Day & Night versions included.

Enjoy!!

Minor update for Riverfront Stadium for use in the TC 1974 & 1978 Mods. Some ad changes, darker turf, and baseline graphics. Day & Night versions included.

Enjoy!!

Total Classics 1993 Update
I had recently received permission from HAWK233391 (the creator of the full 1993 Mod) to upload a graphic update to Total Classics 1993.  Since it was released, I have enjoyed this mod greatly and wanted update the uniforms to the accurate versions for the 1993 season and I upgraded the turf for all the stadiums and improved the look of some of them as far as ads go.  There are also a few menu/cosmetic updates for the game included in these files.
You can install these updates by simply extracting the contents of the ZIP file into your main game directory and overwrite all files.  Please backup your game directory if there are any problems.
A huge thank you goes out to HAWK for his permission and for his excellent work and effort on the NBA 2K Mods and Ultimate Base Rosters.
Enjoy!!

This is PGE Park, home of the Portland Beavers.
This mod will replace the a003day.big stadium so back up your files before installing.

MVP 14 BASEBALL
by dennisjames71 & daflyboys
SUPPORT LINK: '&do=embed' frameborder='0' data-embedContent>>

Presenting a full conversion mod to bring the MVP Baseball experience into the 2014 season.

Based upon the success from the last 2 season's mods (MVP 12 & MVP 13), this mod heavily focuses on realism of not only the major league rosters as well as the minor leagues. This is thanks to the superb talents and painstaking dedication of daflyboys and his rosters along with heavy collaboration with ENCBase13 and his tremendous contributions. A huge thanks goes out to Oscar Morales for his constant updating of the Player ID list which ensures accuracy and uniformity. Rising Son’s cyberfaces and portraits have been a great contribution to the community and this mod as well.

Graphically, this has been a pet project of mine since Spring Training of this year and I was lucky enough to get a large majority of the work compiled by around April/May. After a lengthy layoff...I decided to revisit the project and finish what I started. As I mentioned, daflyboys' excellent and accurate rosters was a huge motivator for me in this project. Behind the scenes, the comments and kind words from people like Y4L, Jim825, daflyboys, and bctrackboi11 helped me tremendously in even bringing this to the table in the first place. To be honest, if it wasn't for these good friends, this project would not have seen the light of day.

Anyway, what we have here is a considerable modification from my own personal MVP 13 from last season which not only updates the experience, but also adds some unique touches to the game. First of all, this mod focuses on the modern game. I have eliminated all classic stadiums and have repurposed/modded a set of 24 minor league and/or spring training ballparks to play in. From the stadium select screens, it’s obvious that some stadiums are team specific but there are also some "generic" minor league parks to play in too. Of course there are versions of all MLB stadiums and you'll find the night version of Target Field among the minor league parks (just scroll through and you'll find it).

Updated and new custom uniforms are there for MLB and minor league teams. The only team that I did not update to the 2014 season was the Lehigh Valley Iron Pigs (AAA) and I will do those and release them at some point when I get a chance as an add-on. Now the question will come up with the blank/blacked-out slots in the uniform-select screens. Yes, there are SOME blanked out slots for SOME teams and the reason why I did that was to try to eliminate the stock throwback uniforms that just are not up to par with the rest of the uniform sets. Also, the other main reason I blanked some of those slots is because each team has “hard-coded” attributes for their uniform sets such as “Classic Tight”, “Classic Baggy”, etc. The problem is if you take a modern or baggy uniform and try to place it in a “Classic Tight” slot, then the uniform looks warped…in other words, it looks horrible. I combed through many of my Total Classics uniforms in order to fill as many slots as possible but I wasn’t going to waste my time looking for Classic Tight uniforms for the D-Backs for example, when they never really existed in the first place. Overall, there is a tremendous collection of uniforms here to choose from and I have tried to label them as completely as possible. Otherwise, just pick one that looks good and go with it.

The core of this mod comes from daflyboys & ENCBase13’s roster set which is based on current rosters as of September 14, 2014. Unlike many baseball video games, these rosters are not based on stats and ratings from last season; these are based on THIS season. The painstaking work and great attention to detail is what’s going to make this mod an enjoyable experience. You’ll be pleasantly surprised with the sim results as well.

INSTALLATION INSTRUCTIONS:

You must have a clean install on MVP 2005 baseball for this to work. There are 4 links to choose from below. Pick one and download the ZIP file; it’s called “data”
Use the LINKS to download the updated content of the game. If you click the green "Download" button, that contains a copy of daflyboys' roster pack. Simply take the DATA folder that you downloaded and copy/extract it to the directory where the MVP 2005 baseball game is installed. YOU MUST OVERWRITE EVERYTHING and let it copy over all the new material that was in the original DATA folder. Start the game.

I have tested this method and the game itself on 3 different PCs running Windows XP and Windows 7 64-bit. This works on a gaming desktop PC (Win 7), a standard desktop PC (Win XP), and a 2 year-old standard quality PC laptop (Win 7).

With that being said; I’m sure there will be “My Game Crashes when I try to start a game” issues. To minimize some of these possible problems; please try some common sense, troubleshooting tips so that the support forums will not get flooded unecessarily.

TROUBLESHOOTING TIPS

Re-boot the computer and try to start the game from there. Make sure that you don’t have multiple programs, browsers, media players, etc. running at the same time. Check your in-game resolution. When I test this game on a laptop, I make sure I’m running it at 1024 x 768. If it’s running on a system with a larger monitor; I use the 1280 x 1024 resolution. Make sure your video card drivers are updated. Run the game in Windows XP Compatibility Mode & Run As Administrator. Just right-click the .EXE file, click the Compatibility Tab, and then makes sure to click Apply. Download the BigGUI Tool:

'?do=embed' frameborder='0' data-embedContent>>
Open your Models.BIG (in your DATA folder) with BigGUI, click File and then click Rebuild...after a few seconds, the program re-organizes the Hex Addresses of all the components...more importantly it brings the Models.BIG file down from 819mb to around 760 mb. I have had ZERO crashes since doing this on all of my installs of MVP 14. I would highly recommend anyone having crash issues to give this solution a try. It's quick and easy.


I know the requirements for the original MVP 2005 Baseball were quite low; but keep in mind that with all of the conversion mods, the requirements are a bit steeper. Resolutions of uniforms and stadiums primarily are doubled or quadrupled but still, almost any modern PC will run this fine. For example, my laptop cannot run NBA 2K14; but it runs MVP 14 with no problems. I’ve made sure to properly compress and rebuild (in biGUI) all stadiums so that the file sizes are minimal. When I tested this, I started 8 exhibition games in a row on my gaming desktop and I started 5 games in a row on my laptop with no crashes.

Now, the only operating system I have not tested this on has been any version of Windows 8 (8.1), etc. All I could recommend is to make sure you are running the game in compatibility mode/administrator mode.

I’ll be creating a support forum thread for MVP 14 where questions can be addressed; but again, please review the trouble-shooting tips I posted above to see if that doesn’t solve your problem.

Most of all, enjoy the game!!

Miami Marlins Uniform Number Fix

Here is a fix for incorrect uniform numbers with Marlins uniforms. The problem was with the font/number file that accompanies the actual uniform file. The numerals 2&3 and 6&7 were swapped; so that Giancarlo Stanton's uniform would show up as #36 instead of the correct #27 (for example).

I have corrected font files that should correspond with the Marlins uniforms for MVP 13...my installation is heavily modified so it might be a bit different. If so, just rename the letter for my font files here. The orange colored uniforms were correct but the home white, road gray, and both black uniforms (home/road) were wrong.

Here are the file names and the uniforms they correspond to:
f026c = Home White
f026d = Road Gray
f026f = Black Road
f026m = Black Home

Just install this ZIP with TiT and you will have corrected uniform numbers for the Marlins.

While testing out these uniforms in TC 1964; I played a sample game with the White Sox versus the Indians. I used Juan Pizarro as my pitcher and he turned in a perfect game. I knew nothing about this guy but discovered in 1964 he had his best year logging 19 wins and making the All-Star team. Juan was also handy with a bat that season and hit 3 HRs and 15 RBIs

Disclaimer: I am aware that the early 70s White Sox Uniforms had a zipper front in real life; but I chose to make them with button fronts because I feel the zipper fronts ruin an otherwise great uniform set. For the 1974 & 75 uniforms; they will be button fronts.

Enjoy the Grooviness!!

OAKLAND A's UNIFORM PACK 2013

My apologies that some of these issues with the As uniforms, went under the radar when I checked them for MVP 13 release.

The first correction in this pack is the now, modern/corrected wordmark for the Oakland road uniforms. As you can see from the Coco Crisp screenshot; the road uniforms had been using the pre-1993 wordmark. The correct ones are in this pack.

Secondly, I was reviewing the yellow alternate uniforms in MVP 13 and they are awful. I feel I can say that because I made these back in early 2011 when these jerseys were announced and I think the colors for the uniform are terrible <see other screenshot>. My skills in color manipulation/application have certainly improved and these are far more accurate along with the correct white outline on the font numbers and letters.

Lastly, I made some fictional alternate road uniforms for the As with the 'Oakland' wordmark and a yellow colored elephant shoulder patch.
Right now, I have them in the following slots:
Slot B = Road (Modern Correct Wordmark)
Slot D = FICTIONAL Alt. Road
Slot E = Alt. Home (Yellow)

Extract the main ZIP file and install each of the individual ZIP files for the uniforms you want to update. Feel free to to put them into other uniform slots by re-naming them and re-Zipping them up. Use TiT to install.

*Also included in the main ZIP are uniform select screens in BMP format.

Enjoy!

Here are the new black uniforms the D-Backs have been wearing at home in tribute to the 19 firefighters who perished earlier in the month. I think these uniforms look very good and better than their regular black/home uniforms. This set includes the "19" patch on the front of the jersey.

These uniform will replace slot "F" for the D-Backs. If you want these in a different slot; just extract the files and re-name to a different slot/letter. Uniform select image is <above>.

*There are slight differences from last year's Canada Day uniform set such as the BP (Maple Leaf) Cap and that players wear their own names on the back of the jerseys (last year, all uniforms for each player said "Canada" on the back)

Enjoy!

*1983 Chicago White Sox Throwbacks*

I saw LouisvilleLipp’s request and decided to post these White Sox throwback uniforms which they are wearing on Sundays this season. The throwback uniforms that are in MLB 2K12 by default are technically the 1985 models. I edited these back in March and added the modern MLB logo on the back of the jersey…however I didn’t get around to adding the correct 1983 All-Star Game patch until today.

I’m temporarily working from a laptop that can’t run the game effectively, so you’ll see screenshots of the uniform with no patches until I can put up updated screenshots.

This uniform will replace the White Sox Classic_1 uniform and I have included the correct color.TXT file to import with the included Roster Editor.

Enjoy!!
