MLB 2K14 Roster Update Project Description This started off as a personal project just to update portraits and transfer players. Since then I've developed it further by adding new players and doing full re-rates. So far I'm basing my re rates off the last official 2K roster update from 2K13 for the 360. This should give a good baseline on player ratings for this year. The goal of this project is to create a roster update that mirrors a 2K roster update. That means it's yours to customize with cyberfaces, team colors, etc. Nothing extra will be added on. This way you only add what you want to add and nothing is prepackaged. This roster will also be 100% franchise compatible which means the Astros will NOT be in the AL. This will allow full functionality (no crashes, missing standings, etc.) at the cost of realism. What will be included: Fully updated player portraits (Semi) Accurate 40-man rosters Re-rate of all players Franchise ready Salaries adjusted Progress Angels Astros Athletics Blue Jays Braves Brewers Cardinals Cubs Diamondbacks Dodgers Giants Indians Mariners Marlins Mets Nationals Orioles Padres Phillies Pirates Rangers Rays Red Sox Reds Rockies Royals Tigers Twins White Sox Yankees Demo Preview Here's a link to a demo of what I completed so far. It's unfinished and still needs touch ups on some finished teams. Take a look and feedback is welcome. Portrait file not included. http://www42.zippyshare.com/v/89043358/file.html Future Plans There's no guarantee this will ever be finished. If it is, it would be by the end of the season. Generally it takes 2-3 hours per team to get to it a finished phase. Yet, as the season goes on, lots of transactions occur which cause teams to be tweaked before the roster is even complete. I'm hoping that once it's completed I can go through and do equipment edits but that would take a lot of additional time. I'm not going to solicit help for this project but if you're up for the challenge doing a few teams here and there would speed this along. I have a strict regiment for how each team should be updated so it would be a challenge. I can be fairly OCD,

Well either way they look great and I would hardly call me a legend, lol. I stopped because I just got bored and fed up with franchise and sim stats. I was intrigued though to learn the patch was actually released so I might give it another try. No matter how bad the game is there's just an allure with modding and then playing with your creations.

Don't think you were around when i was modding but you're stadiums look great. I don't remember but did the game already have that "wet" effect on the dirt or did you add it in? If so I think it looks great but might need to be toned down a bit.

Wow, I can't believe this was released. I might have to make a comeback... Anyone actually find out definitely if the patch notes KC posted are included in the patch? All you have to do is test the pitcher fatigue bug and see if it's still there.

Skin tones were fixed with Redditor, so a value of 3 is going to be different in Redditor than a value of 3 in Ty's editor. I would ignore the skin tone for now unless you know which is which in redditor.

I just can't get this workaround to actually work. I follow the directions exactly, set my date to 9/30, and it updates MLB Today to October 3rd? I never get the Cardinals/Rangers game. When I change the date back on my system, the game loads fine but always to October 3rd, even though my system time is correct. This would be fine if it weren't for my next issue which is whenever I try to logon I get the "Currently testing your network configuration" and it hangs for a good 2-5 minutes before advancing. So I logged out of 2K Sports and set "remember me" to "no" and now the game freezes again. Meh.

Yea, this is the result of waiting for 2K's patch: I honestly don't see a long shelf life for this game beyond this year. As talented as some of the modders are we just don't have anyone with coding experience to be able to extend the modding life. Ty's editor is all we have and I doubt Vlad will follow up on his editor. If we had just one person with the coding experience of Ty we could get an editor that corrects the current issues (marlins, skin color, etc.) and build upon it. However, we only have talented artists and not talented programmers. That's the advantage of NBA 2K modders. They have some talented programmers that can come out with some nifty mod tools. Same with MVP, they have a lot of crafty tools made by talented programmers. Edit: Saw that Vlad did announce the editor, but still waiting on the release of it. My post still stands true until we actually get our hands on the editor and see what it can do.

I wouldn't be that upset about not having a patch. They really didn't adjust anything on the field. They adjusted angles that players take when running to the dugout and other minor animation hitches That's it. Nothing that would truly change your experience. I'm surprised their even going to patch the date bug. In fact, I doubt they will (for PC users). If it's something that requires a gamefile to be edited/updated it will not release on the PC. If it's an issue with their servers then it will release on all platforms. That's just my two cents.

There's literally no way to figure it out. Ty's editor isn't deep enough to list the managers and Vlad's editor doesn't support 2K baseball yet. I think in NBA 2K his editor reads coaches faces. The only other thing you can do is to painfully cross reference cyberfaces through a process of elimination. Find out which cyberfaces in the game folder are being used in Ty's editor. The one's that aren't are manager faces. Or you could just keep randomly opening cyberfaces until you find a manager one. I would bet that the manager faces are in sequence so if, for example, you find #9001 is a manager then #9002, 9003, 9004, are managers as well.

Could be a NL thing. Some pitchers just do better in one league rather than the other.

What's the deal with Burnett this year? I just saw his line last night on MLB Quick Pitch and he's 13-3 with a 3 ERA. Must be a second wind for him.

Weird, I never encountered that. Are you using the latest version of it?

I shouldn't respond to this, but I'm going to anyway. First of all, it had been two days, TWO DAYS, between your posts. Sorry if I didn't respond in your time frame and I'm even sorrier that your stalking my activity on the site. Second of all, I'm under no obligation to respond to your posts, PM's, or overall existence. I can and will do what I want when I want. I actually work very well with others on this site, mainly because they show a little more maturity than others. Thirdly, I have moved on for the time being and thus I don't check the 2K forums often. As well, I don't necessarily remember every post I look at or have time to respond to every post, and sometimes I might look at a post and forget to come back later to respond. **** happens. Lastly, I don't know why that's there. There's two images that control that spot. One is an MLB Today image, the one you see, and a MLB 2K12 banner. Sometimes one shows up, sometimes the other. I don't know why it does it. If you want to change the MLB Today image it should be somewhere in the Global. I don't remember where. Now you can go away and I kindly ask you never to speak to me or reference me in any threads ever again. That is unless you can deliver a proper apology. Your post was childish and plain rude and I highly doubt you would get as kind of a reply as I have given you had you written this way to other members.

Here's a decent article on what happened: http://abcnews.go.com/Health/jordyn-wieber-dreams-gold-deflate-lifetime-focus/story?id=16887114#.UBbB77Se58E Basically sponsors will drop her because shes not a winner, it's that simple. Nike isn't going to sponsor someone who didn't even qualify for the medal round. There are no second chances either. At 17 her days of gymnastics are over. In four years she'll be 21 which is a lifetime in that sport. There's a reason you only ever see 15,16,17 year olds compete. So she had one shot this year to be the "poster child" for U.S. and even world gymnastics and blew it.

Speaking of which, anyone following the Olympics? The U.S.'s top gymnast Jordyn Wieber, who was expected to win it all had an unprecedented collapse. Her career as a gymnast is essentially over as all her sponsors are jumping ship, and she not eligible for college scholarships. Btw, she's 17. 17! How do you 1) put that much pressure on a 17 year old and 2) how do you help her cope with a situation she probably doesn't fully understand.

The whole minor league thing may be the culprit here. First of all, I checked all minor league teams using MVP edit and they all had full rotations, closer, full lineups and at least 20 players. Now, when I set injuries/suspensions to MLB only, I get about 30 games into the MLB season before it freezes. So I restarted with injuries set to OFF and I got about 50 games into the season before it freezes. Is it possible that even with injuries/suspensions "off" the CPU will still draw players from the minor league system? It's possible that 50 games in the CPU signed a player from the free agents list and placed them in the MLB roster. So it's possible the cpu rearranged their minor league rosters leaving one A or AA team with 19 players...thus the freeze. I haven't tested this out with 25/25 players for EVERY minor league team. Edit: Ok, I finally got it to sim a full season. I had to turn EVERYTHING off though. Trades, Suspensions, Injuries, Budget, Variable "stuff", Suspensions, etc. The only problem is that it's not a lot of fun to do that. If it is the minor leagues causing the error whether through trading, signing free agents, or injuries, causing teams be under the roster limit then maybe setting all minor league teams to a solid 25/25 players would fix it.

Very interesting...I'll give that a try and see.

Yea, I just learned that about the mbe. Last night I did a totally vanilla install of MVP and MVP 12. I simmed through several seasons with the included roster with no issues. When I upgrade to yours I get the freeze. Maybe I'll try version 2 or 3 and see if it's just 4 causing the freeze. Also it froze with ad without updating the schedule. Sorry to be a pain lol. Edit: Tested BaseUp v3 1.2 and it froze after 19 games.

I'm getting the freezes when going into "schedule" in season mode and then sim-to-date to the end of the year. The sim runs for about 16 games and then I get a total freeze. I need to kill MVP with the task manager. It happened when I first tried it without the schedule updater and it did the same thing at the same time when I did use the updater. This happens with the normal 4.5B not the 4.5B INC RP STAM (this is what I meant non reliever) I saw that 4.0 has an MBE roster file. Should I be loading that roster file after copying over the 4.5 contents? Maybe that's why I'm freezing since I'm not using any MBE file...

I noticed that the brewers scoreboard doesn't work. The hit totals are the same for home and visitor even though they're actually different. I think it goes by whatever the home team has and it duplicates it for the visitors. Also, the box score on the scoreboard shows "0" for all innings.
