UFL game + "Create-a-League" mode

. That'd give us that 100% customizable league we've all been screaming for. Allow solid fileshare. Allow leagues of up to 200 teams (NCAA!). With community efforts we could create every football league under the engine of 2k football - but player abilities (no ratings

) are under our guidance.

It'd be really easy to use APF's build. I'd be whistlin' dixie with some DB interaction touchups and non-star hands to be slightly improved.

- Limit the 11 stars, 2 g, 3 s, 6 b to an online lobby and maybe a certain style of league mode. Maybe call it "legacy" mode

Otherwise what I'd suggest to do is leave the customization more wide open: No limit or minimum on legends.

- For non star/legend players, I wouldn't give them abilities, I'd just allow for us to customize their strength. This means you could have a deep threat generic and possession generic on the same team. This would allow for the same style of football they created, but kind of customize the team to what we are trying to emulate. It'd be fun to make college teams with this - Top teams may have 4,5 golds and some 1AA team might just have 3 bronzes TOTAL! I really like the possibilities.

- Fix the substitution screen

- Add in some college football plays - not too difficult I'd imagine. Options, more tricks, more wide open. Leave the NFL plays (fix power O out of near/far

).

- I'm sure we couldn't get an online dynasty, BUT an online franchise option would be very possible.

- Allow us to port the legends from APF

. We could have insane historical leagues that are spot-on accurate. We could have current NFL. We could make a college league. We could create our old high school conference. All in the same game. The key would be to make customization and player creation EASY and FUN. Probably the linchpin to this idea. Any mistakes in customization and it's over.

- Have technology that lets us upload pictures of faces that are emulated in the game. I believe it has been done before already. Imagine if all we had to do was go to NFL.com, take a picture - hold it up to our webcam to scan the picture and voila we'd get the face of the player.

- Vary gamespeeds to match what we want - Fast NFL, Med. College, slower High School. Change sliders - tab on/off for rules and challenges.

- Make lobbies separate for each roster file. This is another do-or-die aspect. If we could make lobbies where only the NFL roster, for example, was usable and a ladder was created with this - we'd have a game to enjoy for years.

- This would be a bi-yearly title AT MOST. 2k could get away with selling upgrades and keeping the same base game for multiple years because their gameplay is that good.

- The burden of success would come to the hardcore user base. We would have to create these fictional leagues. We would enjoy every second of it. Debating abilities. Once the groundwork was laid, individual users could edit the file to their pleasure and use it on their own. I think a capitalist mentality would end up deciding which lobby becomes popular. The most realistic NFL league creation would soar atop the others and through competition to play our own personal creations - the best, most fun leagues would arise.

Comments/Suggestions are appreciated. There is a huge football market for 2k to steal.
