Call to Action

The next version of DDSCB will have court layouts similar to the Pro game now in first release. This will means over 400 college courts are all going to need made for the next version (overwhelming) .
They are much more complicated to make due to the court is now viewed from an angle from center court and a few rows up in the stands, so everything is going to have to rotated to that angle to be laid on the court. again!
I plan to start preparing for this now by gathering information and graphics for the courts, but wanted to throw out some idea's I have for community input. My thoughts are.
1. I gathered pictures of team courts a couple of years back as I was planing on updating outdated courts then but never got around to it (thank goodness), but if your favorite team has changed their court layout in the last 2-3 years and you want it to look that way, post here as I do not plan or will have time to look them all up again.
2. In the new court version there will be signage on the scores table that can have something displayed in a rotation on that sign. For instance Florida could have "Go Gators" or Kentucky could have "Go Big Blue" or "Welcome to RUPP Arena". If you know a teams slogan or what should be on a teams sign post here otherwise I may leave those blank to save time and update after release.
3. Make courts in this order. All Team courts first, NCAA Tournament courts, Conference Tournament courts, and last Non-Conference Tournaments.
4. At this time I am not planning on putting Conference Logos on any team court due to all the conference movement happening the last few year and doesn't appear to be slowing down. Plus if you play the game with "Allow Conference Movement" on it will not be an issue.
5. Will not add corporate logos as they also change with time. Arena names, court names, team logos and like items I will add as they tend to remain over time.
I'm looking for input as these will have to be done quickly once we can start making them. Any help gathering information will help in making them right the first time as there so much to do.
If you have a favorite team you play now is the time to be sure your teams court looks as it should!
