OS Arena Draft Cards

[BlyGilmore]

As part of Operation Sports draft coverage, I'm working on creating "cards" you can use to show off your favorite team's new draft pick on your arena page.

Instructions on how to add the card to your arena are here:

I'm using Adobe Photoshop to make the cards. I have a Hauppage HD-PVR to capture in game footage and i'm using that to get the HD screenshots.

Honestly after making the template these are pretty easy to bang out. The tough part is creating the rookies in Madden 09 and trying to get them to look kind of like they do in real life.

And since I know you folks like the little details I'm trying to duplicate things like Sanchez wearing the white sweatbands around his elbow or Tyson Jackson wearing gloves.

anywho ... yes if your team didn't have a first round pick I'll make a card of their second rounder. After I'm done with draft cards, I'll move to other players like Smith.

Also I wasn't sure ... would anybody be interested in avatar versions of these?
