How feasible would a uniform creator be?
My vision for this would be something along these lines and I wanted to gauge how feasible/possible it might be to include it in the game one day in the future.
I think having an online uniform editor/creator would help this game out tenfold. My idea would be to have a number of dedicated slots within each team's uniform options for these user created uniforms to be uploaded to and selectable within the game.
So, say if each team has about 3 slots to fulfill they could still have the home, away, alternates, and maybe a throwback or two shipped with the game on the disc.
The other 3 slots would be reserved for updates made by users within the community that could uploaded to a server online for download by other users. SCEA could also have verified updates to existing jerseys or new uniforms that they have access to the rights for so that they can update jerseys during the season that are real as teams make changes or use new alternates.
But the glory in this idea really is set in the notion that user created uniforms would not be bound to the style guide or copyright laws because they are not being sold and are not related to SCEA or the MLB technically.
The possibilities would be nearly infinite in what we could do. Throwbacks, Negro Leagues, Flag/Holiday themed uniforms, Camo, New Alternates announced for the future, commemorative patches, Turn ahead the clock monstrosities, or just fake uniform concepts that people would want to create and play with!
There would need to be some sort of ratings system and filter to keep things from being offensive or profane, probably. But being allowed to create uniforms and share them on a web-based template would be ideal, in my mind.
We could finally solve the button vs pullover issues even. And this would allow those that are great with editing and graphic design to really make use of those skills.
Similar applications were included with the old NCAA football series. And modding for PC sports game is considered incredibly popular still.
Making the program be restrictive in certain files and formats in which you can upload would prevent issues with compatibility so that there would be no crashing or frame rate issues during the game.
I would go as far as to implement a system so that users can select what uniforms they want in an online matchup in that they would only see the uniforms that they have chose. Each user wouldn't have the same uniforms downloaded so if they are to be selectable online it would be best for connections to not have to sync up with uniforms that are not on the disc. You could either disable the feature for online use or just make it so that each user selects the uniform matchup that they want to see on their own screen. Again, something that was implemented back in the very old NCAA football games.
Let me know what you guys think and if this might be something that could be included someday. Thanks.
