Fictional League/Team/Player Creation Tools

[LingeringRegime]

Since the game is right around the corner, I have been tinkering with my Fictional League already. I have been creating rosters for teams using random names and assigning their positions.

Here are the links that I have been using. Feel free to add other links in this thread to help create random teams/players/leagues/etc.

Basic Overview of Football Positions: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/America...ball_positions

Random Number Generator:
http://www.random.org/

Random Name Generator:

As an example, here are the starters for the Tokyo Ninjas!

Jonathan Cruz WR
Jeff Romero LT
Mark Dunn LG
Glenn Greene C
Bruce Herrera RG
Terry Wilson LT
Archie Abbott TE
Chad Reinhart WR
William Robertson QB
Nicholas Robbins FB
Richard Murphy HB

Pedro Garza LE
Alvin Wright DT
Charles Burgoin DT
Mark McCoy RE
Dustin Foulds CB
Patrick Howell ROLB
Frank Shepherd MLB
Antonio Ha LOLB
Ricardo Mowry CB
Lian Tuan FS
Charles Brecht SS

Great links!
I've also been working on my own league and have been using this name generator. You can even pick how common or uncommon you want the names to be! haha.

Here is someones photobucket I came across when searching for fictional logos. There are a ton of a logos for each letter of the alphabet. Not all the logos are fictional, but a lot of them are.

That is awesome!! I think I might do a world league now. Question though, on the number generator....lets say you are doing a wide receiver, how do you set the generator to do only teens and 80's?

You can set the parameters to whatever you like. For example, you can set it to 13-19, 80-89, etc.

But im guessing you cant do them both at the same time.

I don't think so.

Can you get a forum name generator. A Toyko team with Japanese names would be sweet. I doubt it but it would be kind of cool. I thought about making a few international teams.

The name generator in the first post gives you the option of Japanese names. Currently I am putting two international players on each roster.

Thanks for all the links guys. I think i'm going to keep a few NFL teams and update some of their logos. Then i'll create some new teams and introduce the UFL. Universal Football League. There will be teams from Mars, Jupiter, and yes... even 1 from Uranus.

Re: Fictional League/Team/Player Creation Tools

Also I'm not sure what ratings are yet in Backbreaker but here's a great list of USFL QB's.....hopefully the ratings can allow us to seperate styles of play.

http://www.rci***tgers.edu/%7Emaxymu...ng/qbusfl.html

Guys like Vince Evans, Reggie Collier or Steve Young would be re-created to mimmick a scrambler type

While others like Doug Williams and Jim Kelly would be big strong pocket QB's

As you can see from that list there were some very good QB's who once played in the USFL
