    I played MVP 2005 for five years, thanks to the community of mvpmods.com and all the third-party tools and add-ons. I have hardcopy summations of every franchise I have played from these great games since 1987(listed chronologically): Lance Haffner Full Count Baseball, Earl Weaver Baseball (5 seasons), Tony LaRussa 2, Tony LaRussa 3, Tony LaRussa 3-1996, Front Page Sports:Baseball, High Heat 2000, High Heat 2001 (5 seasons), MVP 2005 (5 seasons). Near the end of my MVP days, I started using Excel spreadsheet to keep my simming history, which continued with The Show 13 (2 seasons), to currently The Show 15 (2nd season). I play all my seasons day-to-day in real time, featuring all 30 teams by playing a series, cpu-v-cpu, in each ballpark at least once. I also watch every postseason game. I will buy The Show 16 at the end of the season, download a final roster update in September and play Hot Stove over the winter until spring training 2017. I only play 1st year franchise because I am never happy with player progression or the way retirements are handled leading to a franchise year 2. If I am happy with the iteration of the game I currently own, I don't mind waiting to buy, or even missing a newer version of the game.

    I used to help with some of the roster ratings in some of the projects in MVP05', I still have that game installed with about 4 or 5 different conversion packs on my laptop. Makes me want to play it now.

      If it wasn't for Mvpmods.com, I would have stopped playing MVP Baseball 2005 when my Cubs were something like 71-20 in July. It was way too easy to out-manage the CPU in franchise manage-only mode. I was about to give up on when I discovered the website and was introduced to the many tools and utilities, including the Team Changer, which allowed me to switch teams and have something of a 30-team control. One of my oddest quirks: I played MVP for 5 seasons, and now into my 4th season with The Show series, and I have yet to see a no-hitter. There have a few in sim games, but I have never seen one. And I watch a game each day from somewhere in the MLB, as well as watch every playoff game. Been close, though.

        I only play one out of every 5 games rotating through my pitching staff then I play every playoff game. I keep an excel spreadsheet of every game that I actually play so I am able to separate their stats out to know who I am effective with regardless of their season totals. It is pretty cool to see exactly what you contributed to their season totals. This also helps me figure out who to trade/keep. For example last year I was terrible with Stanton but he had MVP type numbers. I knew he would be a hole in my lineup come playoff time so I traded him for a guy who I could hit with better.

          Lol this was almost exactly my post. Even the Stanton reference.

            Oh wow that's really funny. I only read the first few pages then posted. Went back and read your post and they are almost identical. I keep all of the same stats and have a roll up tab that totals every game.

              NDAlum,

              I tried to save the spreadsheet but can't figure it out. Could you email me the spreadsheet and I can email you the one I created also. I really like the way you did the standings page. Looks very professional, like a actual website. Thanks
