Baseball Card Help

All,

Not sure if this goes here or elsewhere, but I'm looking for some help on baseball cards. If there's a pro here who can help me out, I'd appreciate it!

MVP Cards: The game is auto-generating MVP cards based on the "hitter_award" template. Bug or feature?
I'd like to have a card called "most_valuable_player_award" or "MVP_award" and have the game auto-use that, but no joy so far.
Rapid apply template: Is there a way to mass-apply a template to a team?
If I want the whole team to use template XYZ, can I do it, or should I just rename the template I want as "default" temporarily?
Tournament stats: Is there a way to include tournament stats on a card or to generate a car just for tournament stats?
The game doesn't include tournament stats on a card. If I wanted those, is there an XML tag I could add to do it?
Specific Uniforms: Is there a way in game or via XML to set the uniform I want to use for a player's card?
I've got the European Championships coming up in my world (follow along here!) and I'd like to do cards for the tournament that use a player's national team jersey. Is that possible?
Thanks to anyone who can help with some or all of these. Baseball cards are a fun but ultimately meaningless part of the game that I'm enjoying tinkering with and I'd like to explore what I can do with them!

This is working as programmed. There's no template for most_valuable_player_award that would properly capture either a pitcher or a hitter winning the award. Some templates will show "MVP" type text on the card art, but that's up to the template designer, it's still the hitter_award card.

I'm not aware of one. Your workaround is likely the easiest.

None that I'm aware of. All the tags relate to regular season and career stats. I don't believe there are any postseason or tournament tags you can apply.

I think it just picks the team's default home jersey. If you have the player on a national team with national jerseys, you should expect that jersey to be applied at that time, but I haven't played these types of tournaments so I can't state with much certainty.

Check out the link in my signature if you haven't already, there are pages with details about card template design and also instructions on how to name the templates so they update annually. There's also the MLB annual template pack put together by Gambo, which will progress you through MLB card history if you're running a historical/fictorical sim.

Thanks for the response! Totally lost track of this thread until I started searching results and realized I had already asked these questions, yeesh.

That's too bad, I'll have to just re-create my MVP cards as they're generated. Not great, not terrible.

This is what I've ended up doing. I rename my 'league_champs.xml' file to 'default_YYYY.xml', run bb cards for the whole team, then change the xml names back when I'm done. I also have to rename the cards if I don't want them overwritten. It's tedious, but self-inflicted lol.

More to follow on this one. European Championships are around the corner, so we'll see if I can generate sets for Portugal or whatever.

Check out my fictional sim thread for more cards, but here's an example of what I'm generating in my world based off Panini's Euro 2012 template currently...
