Wooohoo! :good:

The patch would have adressed only smaller issues, so no big problem...

To be honest I do not even care if they patch it or not. If they do it - fine. If they don't - that's not the end of the world. It takes 3-5 mouse clicks and about 5 seconds. The world has bigger problems than this. :D

Red Sox finished. Next up Rays. I simulated a test season to see how those CPU trades work out and I got some pretty offerings for my players. E.g. some struggling older MLB SPs for some 65-70 3-star AAA players and so on. Also the rating changes after the season seem quite good. The only problem is that some guys grow way too fast.

The Red Sox organization is on the last laps. Only some A pitchers are left. When I got the Rays and Blue Jays I think I gonna release a AL East Beta.

Since we can edit the schedule with this program, can we perhaps edit the starting time of the game? So we begin in 2013 and not in 2012? Know what I mean? This is such great news... :good:

Nice find man.

You need to set the system date to the date of the last regular season games, this means 3rd of October.

Oh ok got your problem. Thats BS, indeed.

I won't be at home until tomorrow/the day after tomorrow, so I am looking forward to your offline testing. But I do not understand your problem with MS Project or other programs like that. When you run MLB 2k12 you run it normally in full screen, so where does this problem with such programs come from? Before starting MLB 2k12: set the system date. After exiting MLB 2k12: re-set the system date. Should not affect MS Project, etc. ;)

There won't be any other workaround or patch by now as far as I know. They gave up on this game a long time ago and even more longer they gave up especially on the pc version. A Xbox guy (they got the same problem) over at OS called their tech support and they didn't even know that this bug was happening, nor did they know a workaround. If this guy hadn't read the thread at OS he would not have known how to fix it. The guy from the tech support also said that they might have to throw a patch out for it and since we all know that 2k baseball is dead you know what this means. There won't be a patch... As I said, yes it is annoying. But this is no bug that won't let us play the game anymore. It takes about 5-10 seconds before starting 2k12 and 5-10 seconds after shutting down 2k12 to set and re-set the PC date. It does not have to be permanently. Sometimes I wonder how lazy people are getting - not meant as an offense. And I wonder how much money we can spend on crap but expect a PC game to be perfect when we spend 40 bucks for it... EDIT: I do not know if or how we can shut down this living rosters and/or MLB today thing. If we could then I guess we do not have to (re-)set the system date all the time.

It is definately annoying but the workaround is so easy that noone should freak out about this. The solution only takes 4-5 mouse clicks or 10-15 seconds...

I tried to start MLB 2k12 some minutes ago and it kept freezing after the startup screen (you know, when all those loading messages come up and the Verlander pic is in the background). After those loading messages there came nothing more. I remembered the problem we had earlier in the season (I think it was the time at the allstar break) where we had this crush happening. I tried the same today, I changed the system date of my Win 7 to one day back. And guess...yeah, it works again. Seems that everytime when NO game happens in real life MLB the game freezes/crashes, whatever. The 4th of October is the first day after the last regular season games and the game crashes/freezes. Quite annoying, but easy fixable at least.

So, complete Orioles franchise finished. Mainly used the players that are listed at mlbdepthcharts.com. Only "real" attributes that fit the stats were used. This is a shitload of work, especially for the pitchers. The input of the real pitch types takes a lot of time lol.

I use the Xbox-Controller. Feeling good with it.

Whole Yankee system is finished. If anybody wants to get a brief glimpse let me know it. Could upload a roster with updated Yankees if you want to.

A little more insight on some ratings: Yankees pitching: SP: - CC Sabathia 89 (5) - H. Kuroda 87 (4) - A. Pettite 82 (4) - I. Nova 79 (4) - P. Hughes 77 (4) CL: - R. Soriano 84 (4) SU: - D. Robertson 88 (4) - B. Logan 77 (3) MR: - F. Garcia 75 (4) - C. Wade 74 (3) - C. Rapada 67 (3) LR: - D. Lowe 72 (4) Orioles 13 batters: - CF A. Jones 89 (5) - 1B J. Thome 81 (4) (do not wonder, he has so bad defensive ratings that the CPU will flip him only in at DH) - SS JJ Hardy 81 (4) - C M. Wieters 80 (4) - 1B C. Davis 79 (4) - 3B M. Machado 79 (5) - 1B M. Reynolds 79 (4) - 2B R. Andino 72 (3) - CF X. Avery 72 (3) - 2B R. Flaherty 71 (3) - O. Quintanilla 71 (3) - LF N. McLouth 70 (3) - C T. Teagarden 65 (3) SP: - W.-Y. Chen 83 (4) - J. Saunders 80 (4) - C. Tillman 77 (3) - Z. Britton 76 (4) - R. Wolf 75 (4) CL: - J. Johnson 86 (4) SU: - P. Strop 82 (4) - L. Ayala 81 (4) MR: - D. O'Day 83 (4) - T. Patton 82 (4) - B. Matusz 70 (4) LR: - M. Gonzalez 79 (4)

I finished with 12 pitchers of the Yankees, 13 batters of the Orioles and 12 pitchers of the Orioles. It works out quite good. I played 5 test-games in which I used the Orioles everytime: - Orioles vs. Yankees 1-3 (Chen vs. Sabathia): pitcher's duel - Orioles vs. Yankees 2-1 (Saunders vs. Kuroda): pitcher's duel no. 2. I had to bring in Patton and O'Day in the 6th as Saunders had loaded the bases with 1 out but I came unhurt - Orioles vs. Yankees 5-11 (Tillman vs. Hughes): Tillman only lasted 2 innings, as the Yankees led 7-0 (grand-slam by Martin) after the 2nd - Yankees vs. Orioles 7-4 (Nova vs. Britton): I led 4-0 going into the 7th, then the Yanks tied it up on a tiring Britton (2 ER) and a 2-run dinger of Swisher against O'Day. Casey McGehee had a 3-run-walkoff-HR off Ayala with 2 on and 2 out in the 9th - Yankees vs. Orioles 5-2 (Pettite vs. Wolf): Was pretty close until the 8th when the Yanks doubled 2 guys home Overall it seems like some little flaws were gone since nearly every fielder has a different range than 2k gave them. Mostly the OF have a little bit less while the IF has a little bit more range. There weren't many diving plays, only 2 triples in 5 games (one by Ibanez after a misplayed linedrive by Chris Davis and one by Wieters). There were enough homeruns, enough steals, looks really good. The games would have been better if I would be able to be more patient at the plate, but sometimes I want to push it and try to hit everything. I am convinced that I am going into the right direction so I will move on to more roster editing.

Okay I started with the Yankees batters. Something like an organizational depth chart (1st number = OVR, 2nd number = potential stars): C - R. Martin 77 (4) - C. Stewart 67 (3) - F. Cervelli 66 (3) - A. Romine 63 (4) - G. Molina 61 (3) - C. Tatum 61 (3) - J. Gil 60 (3) - J.R. Murphy 60 (3) - G. Sanchez 59 (4) - J. Farnham 56 (3) 1B: - M. Teixeira 82 (5) - S. Pearce 72 (3) - L. Murton 62 (3) 2B: - R. Cano 88 (5) - J. Nix 69 (3) - D. Adams 63 (3) - K. Russo 62 (3) - R. Mustelier 62 (3) - C. Joseph 62 (3) - A. Gumbs 61 (4) 3B: - A. Rodriguez 84 (5) - E. Chavez 77 (4) - C. McGehee 73 (3) - E. Nunez 69 (3) - D. Bichette Jr. 58 (3) SS: - D. Jeter 76 (5) - R. Pena 65 (3) - D. Bernier 61 (3) - A. Maruszak 60 (3) - W. Ibarra 60 (3) - J. Pirela 59 (3) - A. Feliz 55 (3) - C. Culver 54 (3) LF: - B. Gardner 78 (4) - I. Suzuki 77 (5) - R. Ibanez 77 (4) - A. Jones 75 (4) - C. Garner 69 (3) - C. Johnson 62 (3) - N. Medchill 61 (3) - R. Flores 57 (3) CF: - C. Granderson 84 (5) - C. Dickerson 71 (3) - D. McDonald 70 (3) - M. Mesa 66 (3) - Z. Almonte 66 (3) - M. Williams 64 (4) - A. Almonte 63 (3) RF: - N. Swisher 84 (4) - T. Austin 65 (4) - S. Heathcott 59 (4) As I said, do not wonder that there aren't any 90 OVR. I put in the split stats quite exactly so the rating numbers for batting differ sometimes extremely from those that 2k gave the players. In general you can see that the players above 90 OVR will only be a few top players. The guys between 85-90 will be franchise players. Guys between 80-85 will be players that every franchise would like to have. Guys between 75-80 will be players that can be everyday players and fill in their role. Guys between 70-75 normally are MLB bench players. Guys between 65-70 are the top minor leaguers that haven't made it to the MLB regularly. Everything below will be the prospects or career minor leaguers.

To prevent upcoming questions: do not wonder when ratings above 90 are quite rare. I think those numbers should only be assigned to the alltime greats. E.g. only the 1997-1999 Larry Walker should get contact rating 99. Otherwise there would be a bunch of players rated damn good.

Unbelievable what this modding community has done with 2k12. Fantastic work kccitystar!

I am finished with formulas and so on. Since the teams now have over 150 games and until the end of the regular season only a few games are left I will start on from now to put the calculated ratings into the game. I can not tell you a release date or something like that, I first gotta see how much time I need for one player, one team or one franchise. I also do not know by now if I will start the editing alphabetically or team by team. But I will start! :)

Wilson is one of my favourites, doesn't matter if he is injured or healthy. This cyberface is so damn cool!

Could you perhaps do Michael Morse?
