New league concept

nmleague · 01-30-2005, 02:45 PM

Had some time today and thought of a new league I would like to do. It is primarily a European league formed in the post WW1 era. The name, "League of Nations". Havent decided on the number of teams, but have started playing around with some logos, and I will probably do a game skin to work with it. I have done 4 logos so far as PSP files, without city or team names, but also did the same with possbile cities and team names to see how they would look in the game. Here is an example of the concept.

I had a similar idea at one time: http://www.ootpdevelopments.com/boar...ad.php?t=88539

A bit more complicated and therefore probably not possible but similar.

The logos look great.

I wasn't planning on going that far, forcing nations to maintain a certain % of national players on their roster. But would use a european only player name generator. In addition to reflect the massive loss of lives in WW1, as well as baseball being a new sport in europe, all roster players would start with players between the ages of 16-20. The european name file is not a problem, but I'm not sure how to create a player pool with players of that age group only.

Export to csv and edit birthdays?

it's the only way that I know how to do it. It's what I had to do for the CUBA league that I run

One problem I see doing this, the edited players would still have the same ratings as if they had developed over a period of years up to their old age, before the edit.

nmleague · 01-31-2005, 06:20 PM

Some more logos, again the Im saving the background as a PSP file without the city and team name, just using these as examples.

Well, you could use the 'fill single-A with fictional players' which would give you players that range in age from about 19-21.

Cool idea, looking foward to the future of it.

Eugene Church · 01-31-2005, 09:03 PM

Concept is a good one....logos are really fine.

Just one minor nitpick...you might adjust the color of 'Blitz" in Berlin...it need a more contrasting color.

nmleague · 01-31-2005, 11:38 PM

Spot on as usual Eugene, thanks for the feedback.

Eugene Church · 02-01-2005, 01:06 AM

Beautifully done, nmleague.

nmleague · 02-01-2005, 04:39 PM

Decided to make a league with leagues with 6 teams each. Here are the last 4 logos, again I will release these as PSP files without the city and team name with just the flag circle background.

Eugene Church · 02-02-2005, 12:21 AM

nmleague, I know you probably get tired of me offering suggestions...but IMO Warsaw needs a little better contrast.

Red outlined in white might look better.

James M. Rousseau · 02-02-2005, 12:47 AM

Living up to your "critic" tag

Bobble · 04-22-2005, 10:06 AM

Nmleague, did this League of Nations ever get off the ground? I'd like to steal ... er, utilize ... your great logos.

nmleague · 04-22-2005, 04:10 PM

I finnished the logos but have kind of reached a burnout with OOTP and haven't done anything more. Your welcome to use the logos, I can zip them up and send you the folder with them. I just checked and I have the 12 logos both with city and team names, or with just the cirular flag without the names, I will make another post with an example of each and you can decide which you want.

nmleague · 04-22-2005, 04:13 PM

Here are the two examples, you may rather add your own text.

nmleague · 04-22-2005, 04:18 PM

Here is the second

Bobble · 04-25-2005, 11:14 AM

I like the ones without the text. I'll PM you with my email addy. Thanks.
