fatcheerleader Posted July 10, 2017 Share Posted July 10, 2017 Certainly not Kirk (Kurt) Cousins! I put that as Monster's release date is all. Summer is here and I have Tecmo fever. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Tecmonster Posted July 10, 2017 Author Share Posted July 10, 2017 Release date is probably gonna be more like Sunday, August 27th. I rely on the Madden player ratings to formulate my TSB player ratings, and they're not releasing their game until August 25th. fatcheerleader 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My Excel system gets more streamlined every year. I revamped it again this year to make it even faster and easier. Surprisingly, the part the takes the longest is matching up the damn faces. Ideally, instead of faces, we'd have a picture of either black or white player that displays what kind of player he is (like for RB's, for example, I envision speed RB's having motion lines behind them and power RB's to have a power "burst" in front of them). As for the release date, I have to push back that August 27th deadline because I read last night that the "final cut to 53" day for the NFL is Sunday, September 3rd. I always wait until that day to finalize the rosters/game. So, it will probably be more like Monday night the 4th or, at the latest, Tuesday the 5th. bruddog and buck 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Tecmonster Posted July 12, 2017 Author Share Posted July 12, 2017 buck, could you send me one of your old roms where you tried a similar idea? Very curious about that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Very curious about that. if you are referring to the skin tone + ability method (not, the 3rd-color, no-race method) the "minor league" rom is one of them, somewhere on the site here, if you can find it. I have no idea how to find roms on this site anymore. we had a spreadsheet where we would set the skin tone, and then, based on the ability of the player, a face was automatically selected from a list (IF). we had 4 possibilities (within each skin tone): bum, bronze, silver, and gold.

The only small problem that I see with that is that their faces inside their helmets will be whatever third color you would choose. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Opening day NFL rosters aren't finalized until next Sunday, so I'm waiting for that. The player ratings are done -- now I just need to know which players are actually going to be in the game.
