Why are there 31 teams in the game? [&:]

I think he meant to say 30 - the game comes with a default 16-team American league, a 10-team Canadian league, and a 4-team indoor league. Unless there's a 31st team that's not in any league so you can just play around with the creation features.

See that makes more sense then your initial unedited answer .I don't know how the game mechanics work(unlike some here).Still seems like more work then needed for such a simple thing.

Yeah, if the game had thirty default uniforms in one file that could be copied to the team folder during the creation of the team, that would be really nice for people who would rather not even touch that sort of thing. It does have that sort of thing for face mask color.

Maybe we should ask David to consider adding that after release.

Thanks Marauders.I wasn't trying to be a dick.Just wondering about this option.

Maliki, I didn't think you were being a dick or being rude. You asked a simple question. No problem.

Maybe release the sourcecode for just the uniform editor

Hey Thanks!! [:)]

Can you post the file somewhere or are you able to email it to us?

What's the point of including a 16-team American league? We're all going to have to make it 32, or some other number? Why not just let us create all the teams ourselves?

Some people will want to play some games first before trying to create teams.

There are 5 indoor teams as an example how the game would run an uneven schedule.

That would be illegal, because the game has no built in editor, and I doubt that Matrix Games could release the source code to Photo Shop or Paint Shop Pro. [;)]

Any .bmp editor can be used to make uniforms, including MS Paint that is built into Windows, but using a program with layers is easier to use because textures can be added without drawing them for each uniform.

A 16 team league is much easier to manage. The NFL has 32 teams, but this is not an NFL emulator. It is almost just as easy to add new teams as it is to modify the teams to any specific league.

That's about it. A 32 team league takes a long time to sim a week of games rather than a 16 team league. Some people will want to cut that down to an eight team league just to get the feel of the game.

Although a long way from Photo Shop, MSPaint comes free with Windows and I've seen some not bad uniforms done with it.

If you want a more powerful and free tool you can try out Paint.net. It was designed to replace Window Paint but more functionality was added.
