Joshawaggie Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 Really, im not that impressed. it is a great job, but its really not that hard to do. especially since the unis are so similar to begin with. bucco knows that a jersey change isnt the hardest thing to do. they just had to make the green a bit lighter, and add white in some areas. and then theres the patches. the helmet is in a common position to find reference pics. idk, i would like to see what it would hae been like had he been traded to the Bucs. then i would be more impressed. but like i said, good job on this one. EA finally got something right on madden. although i won be buying it.

epper Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 Pretty amazing stuff, although it did make it easier that he was already wearing a green jersey with a block 4.This would make sense, except for the fact that the only 4 that is common between the 2 jerseys is the one on the front, which is almost completely covered up by the EA logo. The block 4 on the sleeve wasn't there on the Packers uniform since the Packers have sleeve stripes and put the TV numbers on the shoulders.still. id be more impressed if it were the bengals or something completely different.

LMU Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 To those who have already printed it...How the heck do you have it scaled to actually be the same size as the original cover? In Acrobat, it's about 2/3 the size, and thus far I've only been able to capture the image and print as a scaled image in photoshop. Is there a way to import into illustrator, or is there something I haven't thought of? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

pagan696 Posted August 13, 2008 Share Posted August 13, 2008 When you've already "painted" the image is it really that hard to photoshop a jersey onto it?I'm not saying its not a skill, but if the image itself is already a painting, changing jerseys isn't that big of a deal.I think if you look closely at the last two covers, the colors, contrasts, and smoothness of the photo is just too perfect to be a untouched photograph.i agree w Pat, they're one of the kings in the business of skinning mesh textures... it shouldn't be that hard to put him in any uni.

A slight resize isn't going to make it look any worse. And I highly doubt any of the casual gamers in here are going to use a production-level printer to expose the decreased quality of Brett Favre.

Many think that just because a file is PDF means it's vector and can be scaled. This cover would be more of a photoshop task.

Word has it that it's still bugging him a little.I'm not Patriots fan, but I'd have much rather seen him on the cover of Madden. And not because I believe in curses or anything -- Brady's just the best player in the game and has done far more for the Pats than Bret can do for the Jets. 1 hour ago, ShutUpLutz! said: and the drunken doodoobags jumping off the tops of SUV's/vans/RV's onto tables because, oh yeah, they are drunken drug abusing doodoobags Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
