Re: NCAA Basketball 09 Custom Cover Gallery and Templates

Thanks I will, and nothing personal, but obviously your gonna say something like that. Cyclone could work for EA and make the official cover and you would still say that inferior ones are better than his. Its kinda getting old. Your a good cover maker, but i think sometimes your ego gets in the way.

Thats a nice pic of you, did someone steal your lollipop? See, the moment someone states their opinion they gotta try to put them down because they know its true. Didnt know there was so much politics in this stuff LOL. Anyway, no sweat, back to cover making.

Re: NCAA Basketball 09 Custom Cover Gallery and Templates

I wasn't putting you down, I thought it was funny. You didn't insult me so obviously I took no offense to it. I was hoping you wouldn't take offense to the picture, it just seemed right to me.

I hope this thread doesn't turn out to be like the NCAA Football did. Man, there is so much fighting/bickering/annoyingness going on in these threads lol.

JasonH_TKG, you are my hero. I kneel before you.

I just may get back into covers. Those AP pics are amazing.

BTW, I've heard of Texarkana. On the border of Texas and Arkansas (I'm from Texas myself but am now in Wisconsin BTW)

Hope you do. I'm really starting to get into this cover making since I kinda have an idea what's going on now, lol.

Yeah, Texarkana is half Arkansas, half Texas. The highschool on Texas side puts out football players every year. I know you probably won't know half of these people, but they're NFL and soon to be NFL players.

Texarkana players:

Nathan Vasher - Chicago Bears CB (The one who ran the 108 yard field goal return back for TD, the year before Hester done it).

Nate Jones - He was a WR at Texas last year. Played on the other side of Limas Sweed. Currently on the practice squad of the St. Louis Rams

Rod Smith - Holds every WR record in Denver. Played with John Elway.

Jerimiah Trotter - Played with the Eagles during their Super Bowl chances and runs.

Dennis Johnson - Currently a RB in Arkansas. True Freshman, had a 60 and a 80 yard run last week. Nothing special so far, but not too shabby either.

LaMichael James - RB at Oregon. Redshirted this year, but will be a beast -- just wait and see.

Ryan Mallett - Yall probably never heard of him, but watch him next year. He's the QB at Arkansas starting next year. Has the arm strength to throw the ball 85 yards (proven).

Theres more but I don't wanna keep on rambling about it.

Dude Jason you are seriously my hero. Even though it takes an hour to make a cover with all my effects and stuff at least now thanks to you I can create some unique covers. Its like a whole new window has been opened thanks to you man.

Tell me what you think. First cover outside of Madden. Never really done a basketball one before.

Re: NCAA Basketball 09 Custom Cover Gallery and Templates

Lol, you're welcome man.

Sh!t, mine came out blurry. Guessing from the smudge.

Re: NCAA Basketball 09 Custom Cover Gallery and Templates

Definitely better. Jason, for you as a beginner I would suggest only working with pre-cuts, or only working with non-pre-cuts, since you're cutting is not very good. It took me a while to get the hang of cutting. I use the polygonal lasso tool, but everyone talks about using the pen tool, so its up to you. I usually have to go through and clean up my cut after I cut it. Also, it did come out blurry, idk why. When you smudge I guess don't smudge the jersey into the arm. Also you probably shouldn't smudge white guys, they come out like ghosts. Good job overlapping, although when you drop shadow, do it at a 125 degree angle, 45%, 10 pixels first setting, 0 middle setting, 7 last setting. Other than that your covers are definitely making great improvement.

Re: NCAA Basketball 09 Custom Cover Gallery and Templates

My cuts are screwed up because I just switched to the pen tool. Like you, everyone always tells me about the pen tool. I kinda like it, but it's way to many steps lol.
