How feasible would a uniform creator be?

Re: How feasible would a uniform creator be?

So if I use a real logo on a fake uniform that I created, I might forget and think that its real? LOL (not snark at you, at the league)

Yeah, it didn't make complete sense for the consumer from what the Madden devs told us awhile back. Essentially it seemed like there was a concern about doing things with the official logos. As you can imagine not everyone would be kind with the treatment of the brands and people take media and post it online. So, it could possibly get lost in everything and passed off and misrepresented after it was taken out of context? I'm not sure.

But I also know that different laws and rules surround the different leagues in sports in relation to their logos and uniforms. And as I said, it is probably something that would need to be looked into deeply by SCEA and their legal department before moving forward with anything close to my idea. Which is part of the reason why I am broaching the subject, I suppose.

This is to some extend already possible (in Diamond Dynasty) and I personally expect this to happen at some point... Playing DD, I've already seen some very nice old school uniform like the Montreal Expos.

I think the uniform creator would need to allow a bit more customization than the DD version allows right now, if people were to replicate what used to exist. But it already is easily one of the best features of DD that makes the mode interesting.

I would love to see it, but the show dev team has always been to lazy to add something like this. They have Diamond Dynasty create a uniform, why can't they add it to offline modes? Same game every year!! Why not hire someone with a brain? They make everything seem so complex. The trade logic in franchise and rtts has been awful since day 1. They've never addressed it.. Why don' they give us an option to turn trades off in rtts!??!!

Does it matter why all you want to do is trash the devs so no matter what reason someone gives you wont accept it.

FIFA had something like this for years, unfortunately it hasn't made the jump to new-gen yet. With Creation Centre, not only can you create the logos and jerseys, but teams, players, even the leagues they play in. And best of all, all of the design tools are web-based.

In The Show terms, say you wanted to play a season of Class-A Advanced California League. That league doesn't exist in The Show, so you would hop onto the web app and find a fan-created version, or create your own. Then bookmark it and you get the entire league -- their official logos, players, schedules -- in the console game.

It's every bit as awesome as it sounds.

EDIT: And can we please stop calling devs "lazy"?

This comment is dripping with class. I'm not going to be an apologist for them, but I feel I have to say here. ..things are not as easy as you want them to be. They must get approval from mlb and mlbpa for everything. Even if one approved the other could shoot it down.

Logos and uniforms are important to team and they cannot just "open" it up.

As far as trade logic. Every year it is tweaked.

Re: How feasible would a uniform creator be?

I'm not even going to dignify a certain response in this thread, but rather suggest that we all just ignore it and keep the conversation flowing in a productive and purposeful manner.

I didn't know about the FIFA editor, sounds intriguing.

Again, I must state that for me to enjoy this feature it would have to be implemented in such a way that it adds to existing MLB and pro teams already in the game. Not a fantasy creator, etc.

Not that I am against any of that. Just speaking selfishly here in saying that I want more uniform variety in my franchise/RTTS mode games and would like for there to be a uniform creator program and sharing system in place that really brings this to life. Whatever else comes out of it is just bonus, in my mind.

Re: How feasible would a uniform creator be?

One custom slot would do just fine, with the ability to save creations to the hard drive.

Would be cool to have for franchise mode, and just generally speaking.

I'd definitely take a stadium creator above it though. In other words, if work had to be done on one or the other, stadium creator.
