I just got MLB PP2008 onto my Mac and am looking for 2026 mod version?

Hello everyone. I've put something crazy like 300 hours into editing 2026 MLB Rosters for SMB4 & would like to share it with the community. I can not take credit for the majority of team logo's as they were from a file I either downloaded here or mvpmods.. but it basically had team logo's and just throwback uniforms - they did an incredible job. That was the starting point, took over from there.

Complete edit of every team w each players Looks, Abilities & Traits. The limited 22 man rosters are comprised of the franchise's best players (Active, IR & some prospects on the verge of call up.) Current, alternate, throwback, and many city connect uniforms. Home Stadium sounds, Snake rattles in Arizona, Tiger roars in Detroit, ect.

Not a perfect science, but in addition to hard stats I used a combination of - AI, Statcast & The Show 26 player ratings to reference along the way. Many factor's taken into account; recent gold glove winners, errors committed, highest/lowest velo arms, pickoff rate, injury risks, extreme lefty/righty splits, elite trait for highly regarded pitch's.. all the way down to accusations of sign stealing. (altuve, correa & the astros steal signs, along with bregman. it's funny hearing bangs on the garbage can when these guys are up.) Basically anything I could dig up, I tried to incorporate.

Things to note: I used sliders in place of sweepers, 2seamers in place of sinkers, and forkballs in place of splitters - as they are the most similar pitch types offered in the game. Also, this is intended to be used with DH on. Outside of Ohtani very few pitchers hit decently. Next, in most cases I opted to use players most distinct hairstyles, even if not current. For example, PCA's blue hair, Vlady's dreads, Bichette's mullet, ect. I feel it adds more personality to the arcade style of this game. In that same vein, gave each team's star players/feared hitters the slightly more dramatic animations approaching the plate. Latin players come out to Spanish music, many other small details.

Undoubtedly there will be things that pop up in need of adjustment, it is inevitable. I am constantly making tweaks as players get hot or cool off - but that will always be the case. Eventually, I plan on working on a Legends League / All Time rosters for every team. If there is enough interest, I may release that project when the time comes, and possibly an update to this save at some point. Would love to hear your feedback!

Hope you enjoy it, have fun.

I thought I’d share a two-way player I just made in honor of one of my favorite players, Seby Zavala (aka Bernardo Sebastian Zavala). IRL, he is a catcher, but he has also played P (0.00 career ERA) and 1B. He hit his first 3 MLB homers in the same game (no one has done that before or since), which I attended, and I have loved him ever since.
