Basketball card creator?

Postby Nick on Tue Jun 06, 2006 2:11 pm

I had this idea last year sometime, but kept forgetting to mention it. I suppose it's too late now, but oh well.

I always thought it would be cool if you could create "pretend" basketball cards from the instant replay viewer in NBA Live. You zoom into what photo you want, and you push a button for basketball card (there should be an option from regular screenshot to trading card screenshot) and it automatically adds the player name, resizes the shot to be the appropriate size, team logo, and all that jazz.

Pretty simple idea.

You could even have different templates for different kinds of basketball cards?

And if you wanted to think about if further, an even cooler idea would be if you could implent the basketball card image into something that is worth money in your dynasty. I.e. basketball cards increase profit or something. (two factors make a good basketball card... i suppose good player and good dunk/moment/shot/block or something would be considered?)

Any thoughts?

This. Is. A. Freaking. Awesome. Idea.

And I HATE you for thinking of it because now I'm always going to wish for it.

For me it's not up there with some other things Dynasty Mode could use but I have to admit it would be pretty cool.

It'd pretty cool, even the ability to make posters, stamps, postcards, t-shirts, jerseys to sell. This could be all beneficial for a team's finance.

It seems kind of useless if there isn't some sort of reward for it. But it'd be a good break from all the basketball playing.

Hell yeah! It could be extended to create posters as well.

I'd like to add to the idea, a dynasty website creator? You could export your stats, rosters, recaps and team history into html files? Kinda like what The Sims (the first) had for family webpages, that was sooo cool, althought I never used it :lol:

I like the idea too...

It would be an awesome thing to put on NBA Live.

That would just give it that added touch to Dynasty.
