Ribbon boards on rebuilt stadiums?

[LOBBS]

Are these locked into only flashing the Madden logo for stadiums rebuilt in CFM? I just started the season after my deluxe futuristic was completed. Started a preseason game only to see the ribbon boards all around the stadium and the screens only flashing the Madden logo. I thought for sure they'd at least be able to carry over the team graphics and/or colors from the original. That's beyond lame if so. Is this something that can be adjusted in Frosty? Sorry, I'm coming from Madden 08 PC where we had control over pretty much all the graphics and this is a huge disappointment if it cannot be tweaked.

So doing some research this has been an issue for years now? That is completely unacceptable. It has killed any joy I had about building a new stadium in M19. At the very least, I wouldn't have chosen the futuristic one and had to drive down the field with a gigantic, generic scoreboard flashing away. Somewhere, I'm sure, there is some very simple code pointing to a file or folder containing the animations. The proper animations already exist for the stadium you start with. EA is obviously too lazy to redirect the code to point to them when building the new stadium. They can bring the field and various logos over but can't manage to figure out the biggest hype element that gives the stadium some flavor? It should be a stupid, basic fix.

TBR is legit the man for finding this after we chatted over on the OS Discord. No more lame generic EA Madden animations.

We can point them to existing videos at this point so it's useful for teams that rebuild in their same city and teams that relocate but don't "rebrand" to one of the in-game options (San Diego Chargers to LA Chargers, etc.) Still can't create them from scratch. Someday, I'm sure.

This is TBR's find. I just bugged him loudly enough that he took a look at where they ended up being and what needed to be swapped for them to work. If he's cool with it I'll post up instructions or he can.

Do a search in Frosty for Jumbotron. You're looking for the Jumbotron animations within the fmv folder. Within that Jumbotron folder there will be all the teams and also a folder with the generic animations. Then it's just a matter of copying the GUIDs and chunksizes from each animation of your team over each of the generic's. There's a bunch of them for touchdowns, interceptions, etc. The only one that I didn't copy over was the Super Bowl one.Save as a project, make a mod, profit.

Obviously it'll play over any team in your franchise that has moved or built a new stadium as well so you'll only want to use the mod for your home games.
