The Gulf Coast Conference (Fictional)

[thor-17]

I created a fictional team called Pensacola State for the PS3. My psn name is placekicker. I used UAB's logo. They are called the Fire. They might fit in with your league.

All right, so I've played an entire season of dynasty mode with this league.


I'm going to be making some tweaks to the uniforms to change some things I don't like (FGCU's helmets is at the top of the list).

Once I make the tweaks I want, I'll look at making up to 3 new teams. West Florida sounds like a good idea, particularly if it's a real school with a real mascot but no football team.

I'll also be creating Mississippi Gulf Coast. Suggestions are welcome for mascots. I'm thinking Mudcats (I believe that's on the pronounceable list).

For the third team, all I know is that it will be in Texas. Suggestions are welcome for school and mascot names.


As for FGCU's helmets...the chest logo would be cool on the helmet, however the uphill/downhill text becomes a problem...the logo looks right on one side of the helmet, but on the other side, it runs uphill (or the letters are backwards). I think I'm going to cut all the text off the helmet.

Gulf Coast Conference v1.01

FGCU - Edited secondary (and helmet) logo to the Eagle head without text. Edited alternate helmet. Edited primary and alternate pants.

UNO - Got rid of the ridiculous blue turf, edited endzone colors. Added "UNO" to chest text on home, away, home alt, and away alt jerseys.

TGCU - Slightly edited alt-logo. Flopped primary/alt colors. Edited alternate helmet. Minor tweaks to jerseys and pants.

Tampa - Edited helmets. Too many white helmets in the conference...

LGCU - Edited alternate/helmet logo. Edited helmets, jerseys, pants.

Work in progress:

Mississippi Gulf Coast University Mariners [MGCU], Biloxi, Mississippi
http://www.easports.com/teambuilder#...912:1286755338
Roster template: UAB
Stadium: Biloxi Stadium (BYU, 64,045) (shared with Biloxi)
Colors: Orange
Rivals: Biloxi, possibly others...



I'll also be doing West Florida Argos, and an undecided Texas team (which will use purple as the primary color).

I'll also be changing the substitute teams. I am expanding to 12, but in the interest of some rivalry math, I'll be substituting partially for Sun Belt teams and partially for C-USA teams (while the 12 teams will all be put into C-USA).

The 12 teams substituted will be:
Arkansas State, ECU, FIU, Florida Atlantic, Houston, Middle Tennessee, Rice, Southern Miss, Troy, UAB, UL Lafeyette, & UL Monroe

The C-USA will turn into the GCC (though I haven't decided whether the divisional split will be geographic at all--if so, Biloxi & MGCU have to end up in different divisions), while the new Sun Belt Conference will consist of Marshall, Memphis, North Texas, SMU, Tulane, Tulsa, UCF, UTEP, and Western Kentucky.


I'm also likely going to be editing roster templates for balance and perhaps tweaking recruiting pitches.


But first, I am working on UWF.

East Texas Panthers

I know have 12 schools created. I'll be updating the original post shortly for info on all the teams as well as who needs to replace who, etc. As far as divisions are concerned in the C-USA shell, I suggest the following:

West:
East Texas
Texas Gulf Coast
Galveston
Louisiana GCU
New Orleans
Mississippi GCU

East:
Biloxi
Mobile
Alabama GCU
West Florida
Tampa
Florida GCU


Doing this will create a new looking Sun Belt Conference, consisting of the following:

Marshall
Memphis
North Texas
SMU
Tulane
Tulsa
UCF
UTEP
Western Kentucky

Original post updated to version 2.0

All 12 teams are now available.

Version 2.01 will be coming shortly, which will change the prestige ratings of the teams, making a few 3-stars, but mostly 2-stars. 2.01 will also include a proofread of the program settings (recruiting pitches, playbooks, tendencies, etc.)

[Pogo27]

v2.01 done. Updated prestige ratings for all schools.



I'm now working to update the coaching tendencies based on chia51's data found here: http://www.operationsports.com/forum...g-sliders.html


v2.02 is done. Updated coaching tendencies...and gave all the coaches names. They're mostly real coaches or coordinators or position coaches. Some of them are far more recognizable names than others.

I started a dynasty with these teams using Tampa. It's very enjoyable.

My first game was against West Florida, and I have to say, I really, really like West Florida uniforms. However, I think they will look better with black shoes (white socks still), so I changed that.
