Tricks like that. As for logos, include a simple art program to allow us to put together shapes and colors to make the real logos. If people aren't up to that, they can log onto the server I mentioned on my other post and download ones made by other users. When you think about it, this whole thing can be worked around actually.

How about a player name database. A data base of first and last names that we can assign to a player.

i have a question regarding the possibilities of a nfl game next year from espn.
Why is it they can't just put out an updated version of the current years game? They can just label it as "game of the year edition" or something like that. I'm not sure how the legistics work, but i'm curious if it's possible at all. They don't really need to update rosters because we can do that. They just could work on AI, presentation, and graphical upgrades to the game and release it under the current year's name.

possibility?

Total customization football seems to be the only option left for VC, if they really want to release football games in the future, because from what I've read on various web sites in the last couple of weeks it looks like that EA has exclusive rights to the following items:

------

NFL Logo (and everything that has an NFL logo, e.g the Football by Wilson)
NFL names like NFC, AFC, Pro Bowl
Current team names
Current team logos
Historical team names & logos (e.g Oilers)
Additional team art (e.g. Lions or 49ers script)
Stadiums
Official team uniforms (through an exclusive deal with Reebok)

NFLPA:
Player names
Player photos
Player career statistics
Player motion capture

NFL Europe:
NFL Europe logo
