Graphics Suggestions

[Double Dribble]

First off,

This game is BEAUTIFUL. If none of the changes I suggest happen, this would still be one of the best looking text sims on the market. Having said that , the small flaws become more noticeable (to me) because of how good the rest of the game looks.

1. On the matchup screen, on the top of the home screen and on the bottom of the home screen, the team logos get cut off because there isn't enough space. I hope this can be redesigned because that would allow for the game to be better looking and for a different variety of logos to be used.

2. I know individually we can assign pictures to players, but there is a very limited number of pictures that can be randomly assigned to players. Probably 150 or so? I hope this can be expanded greatly that way there is much less repetition of faces.

3. I'm not sure the flags on the player screen add much. I think it would be better just to list the nationality and remove the picture altogether.

4. As of now, sometimes the box scores don't show all the players and you have to scroll down to see the entire list of players and team totals. Please make a bigger screen so everything can be shown without scrolling.

5. In big lists such as top 25 teams, team leaders, it would be nice for the user's team to be bolded so it can be more easily found.

6 . And of course, moddable backgrounds. :-)

Again, thank you for making an amazing game. I am having so much fun with it.

Thank you for the suggestions

1. This is done by choice - I personally like when broadcasts or sites use the partial logo or however you want to describe it

2. Yes this would be nice for the future.

3. Noted

4. Problem is the box score window has to fit the minimum resolution restrictions so I have to work with what space I have because some people just don't have big monitors with high resolutions to play on

5. If you give me a list of places this would be useful I can do this

In the Top 25 polls, team stats area and almanac it would be great if the user team and player could be bolded or highlighted so its more easily found. Thanks for looking into this

Also would it be possible for todays leaders to still be shown until the first game is played the next day?

Because after simming a day it immediately goes to the next day and here is how it looks. i know its picky but i hate simming a day and seeing that leader display blank. Also it would be nice to include the pic of the player and school logo for the top person on each category like you do for the season leaders

Gary - I'm in the process of increasing the number of player faces available. Currently I'm at 350 (I'll post the file if anybody wants it) but I'm looking to do at least 1000. I have a question about how the game uses these files. I'm fairly sure it's country coded, for instance all Chinese players get assigned 900 or 901. Could you tell me exactly how this works? For example, if I have more than 499 African-American faces will the game still auto use them if I assign them to file numbers 1000+?

The code would need to be altered which certainly can be done. Why don't you send me a PM when you have what you have done and we will figure out how to implement it

I am excited for this

I'm far from finished but I'll post what I have. 430 faces here, most of the original 130(?) faces remain although I over-wrote the ones that I didn't like:

This goes in the graphics>players folder.

Don't forget to post in the mods forum so people have a one stop place to look for all the cool mods

A point of clarification on this Gary, if you don't mind. A couple years back I asked:

I would like to replace the fictional player pictures with pictures of real nba players. The fictional players are named using numbers so I can just replace the numbered fictional pictures with my nba pictures using the same numbering system and the game will adjust accordingly...so far so good.

My question is: The game skips from 101 to 501 in the naming of fictional pictures. If I put in a picture that has the number 222 for instance, will the game use it? Or will it only use the default numbers in the fictional player folder?

No if the numbers are not there the game will not pick them up

So has this changed in the new game? Because if it hasn't then this poster is doing a lot of work for nothing. I am hoping it has changed! Let us know
