Pride stickers

Up for the "helmet sticker" thread!

I get the concept of earning points through stats. But my RB Brandon Saine of OSU has a mere 6-7 stickers. Through week 10, he is on top of the Heismen poll with the following stats.

210 Rushes, 1711 Yards, 33 TDs, 0 Fumbles
22 Catches, 346 Yards, 5 TDs

By seasons end I should have eclipse 2000 yards & 40 Tds.
Even my reciver who runs kicks and punts, has only 4-6 stickers. And he top 10 reciver in yards. And the top returner in the country. My helmets should be covered IMO. Can you by any chance post the forumla for running backs? If a TD = 1 point, 100 yards rushing = .5 etc????

So each team that has pridestickers, the helmet art has a layout of where they go and what order they go there in. We pass a score into the helmet, and depending on the team, pridestickers are assigned based on this score. So for the sake of easy math, let's say a score of 100 is 100% pridestickers. So if a team has a max of 100 pridestickers, each point would earn them a sticker. If a team has 50 max pridestickers, they need 2 points to earn a sticker. If a team has 10 max pridestickers, they need 10 points to earn a sticker. Every player has this score calculated in dynasty mode and campus legend based on stats. I don't know them all off the top of my head though. The stats are position based, and the stats earn points, not stickers. For instance, you don't earn a pridesticker for a touchdown, you earn points. So based on all the stats you get in the game, the pride score is calculated and added to player database for each guy. Before each game, the score is passed onto the helmet like I said above. Teams that don't have pridestickers have a max of 0. In play now/online/mini games/practice etc... we tie it into ratings. I don't know off the top of my head what the upper and lower limit was, but I think if you are rated 95 you get the score that would earn you 100% stickers. If you are rated like 60 or something around there, you get 0%. The range in between is scaled based on the upper and lower limit. 60-95 is a 35 point scale. So that's like 2.8% stickers for each rating point, giving a guy rated 70 28% of his team's maximum stickers (so if a team has a max of 100 stickers, he gets 28). I think. Math isn't my strong point, but the engineer who set this up is an admitted math junkie and former highschool Mathlete.

I wish EA would put an option where you could assign parameters for pride stickers. And allow you to place them on the helmets yourself. That would be a sweet touch.

Also, I wish EA would put the pride sticker count next to each player as they did in the past-gen versions so you don't have to count.

I will say EA did a great job with the way the stickers are placed. In the past-gen versions the stickers were always in even rows so you couldn't cover the Ohio State helmet with Buckeyes. This year's game was done well.

I played a dynasty as New Mexico State and by the the time I reached my bowl game, my starting QB and HB helmets were covered in pride stickers. I don't recall seeing any on the striping and logo though - both were clearly visible even with all the pride stickers. I thought it looked cool, reminded me of the good ol' days.

Assigning paramerters doesn't do anything for me, I don't want to spend time decorating helmets with pride stickers. In real life the stickers are usually put on the helmets by the equipment staff or the players themselves - depending on how large the program is. The return of the pride sticker count would be cool though.

Is there a glitch with the OD? Am i not saving something?

I think this would be a cool option but I wouldn't make it mandatory. Or, if you coach a program that doesn't have stickers you should be allowed to create a pride sticker for your team. Just a thought.

I've wanted that forever. I'd love to put the TarHeel stickers back on the helmets for UNC
