This may belong in the uniform thread if so please move it.

From what i have read there is going to be only two default colors for created teams in the game.Red and white.Was i reading some comments made correctly?

If so are there plans by Matrix to add a download for basic uniform colors?Nothing fancy,just to give us whom do not have a paint program or the artistic ability to creat uniforms an ability to add some flavor to our created teams.

Basic colors such as black,green,blue,orange?

There are plenty of uniform colors represented.

There are 31 teams in the game. After you create a new team, just go into the files and copy the one you want to your team folder. Then go in and save a new helmet logo if you have one.

I understand that.Also how would i go about taking the colors from the default teams and putting them on my created teams?

Its just that two default colors offered with the game(once again if i read things correctly)seems kind of Chinzy.

How can i have "maximum flexibility" in the game if i'm stuck with red or white as a uni color and no program to change them?

Not everyone will want to shell out extra money to buy a paint program nor will they have the time or inclination to create uniforms if they do.Third party developers may not even make such simplistic color patterns as they may see it as a waste of time,when they can be creating multi-color garish works of art.

So i don't believe it is too much to ask that a supported feature by Matrix be no-frills basic colors.No logos..no time consuming multi colored patterns.Just some primary colors.Some people may be put off from the game once they realize that the "maximum customization" of team colors involve two choices.

Blah. What colors/combinations do you want? Do you want striping or just plain?

It will take you less than one minute to copy the files over from one team to another. If you want a logo other than the ones that come with the game, you will have to do that yourself or download a logo created by another player.

I'm not sure.This was just a question regarding such.Its not like i was saying they should include 100 different colors..just 5 or 6 for beginners.[:)]

Maybe someone will add to the uniform editor where it will let you change the colors like fbpro and madden do

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.

And I was seriously asking. I'm sitting here bored, with a paint program. I can do a whole slew of different basic jerseys & helmets & whatnot.

That would be a nice utility.People want things kept simple,especially for such small things.I'm not asking for career mode v2.0 or owner mode 1.1.Just wondering why the default colors for created teams only has two choices.

Do not forget that it isn't just the color that you may want to change. Uniforms can have differing patterns and such, as you mentioned, but also different textures for pads and other things that you may want to use.

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 for the offer.Until the game comes out i'm not beyond the concept stage of teams.So i really can't say.As far as the game goes i'm focused on team styles and plays then on this...just that this has developed into a bit of a pet peeve.[:D]

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

The red and white uniforms are there simply to provide something for the game to load and display when a team is first created. You get really nice stark white players with out those there [:)]

As for uniform creation/editing, there is really nothing I could add to the game that would be better than (or possibly even close to) what is already out there for the PC.

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

Ask yourself if you'd rather me spend my development time reinventing what is already freely available or working on other things.. like say.. online play..

From the man himself.Case closed.Make it yourself.[:D]

Though i warn you i will find another little nitpick...I'll be back[:@]

Well, boredom got the best of me. So, I'm currently doing basic single stripe uniforms in the following colors with white:

black
silver
gold
navy blue
royal blue
powder blue
red
green
orange
purple
brown
aqua
yellow

I'm gonna have white helmets with each of those color stripes, then each of those color helmets with a white stripe. Same with the pants, then a plain jersey in each color.

After that I may go ahead and do a few other common combinations, like silver & black, yellow & green, gold & red, etc.

Ok.. the basic colors are done. 2mb zip file for anyone that wants them. There's actually still a lot of customization available even with just the basic colors, since the uniforms are broken down into multiple files. You can do a uniform with, for example, white pants, blue jersey with yellow sleeves & red shoulders, a purple nameplate, and a green helmet, if you wanted to.

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