Making Football Cards - Shadowz - 08-16-2017

:stoked: Let us know what you think: :stoked:

-On many simulation leagues, people will create trading cards for their players to use as avatars, signatures, etc. It could be said that many people enjoy the process of creating these, and would entertain having more creative ideas and opportunities for graphics work.

-In the NSFL as people become more active and earn more money, there will be more excess money in people’s bank accounts, as there is only so much they can spend per season on TPE related activities (unless they’re heavy gamblers).

-In real life, people love opening packs and collecting trading cards for sports teams

-The league is always looking for more opportunities to get both new creates and veterans more invested in the players, and more excited about the league itself.

All of that being said, we think that it would be an interesting opportunity for the league to implement some sort of trading card system, where players can spend their extra money on virtual packs of NSFL player cards. These would be similar to packs irl, with a random assortment of base cards, autograph cards, inserts, etc. in each pack. Some cards will be common like base, while some only a certain amount of users would get (example: an insert). Users could make threads to keep track of their collections, while the card makers/organizers (which could be league positions) keep record of who owns what so that people can’t just copy the image. Some ideas for individual packs which could come out over the seasons are those having only draft picks for an upcoming draft, inserts/packs with NSFL legends, packs for the pro bowl, etc.

Packs could be bought and then dished out via random thing picker, with links to relevant image files (for the cards) then being provided to the users. Ultimately we think it would be a fun thing for users to partake in, all the while building on how layered and deep the league feels. We also think it could add another element to the league which other sim leagues lack—just another layer of the league to keep users interested and coming back.

Different interested users could have jobs making the actual cards, while others regulate the pack opening and organizing.

Included below are some examples of base cards from each team, a prospect card (one with and w/o an autograph), and an insert.

We know it could be far-fetched, but we also feel like it may be a cool thing to look into!

Super interesting idea. This would be cool also as a way to hold on to hall of fame players

This would be cool. I'd be down to help make the cards.

This sounds amazing.

There's a psd template for madden cards that I made some minor edits to a while back so it uses NSFL team logos instead. Was gonna make a few other changes and release it but never got round to finishing it up.

Here it is if anyone wants to use it as is. It's in xcf format since I use GIMP, and it might still need a bit of work... but its a handy template if you're not particularly good with graphics. All that's really left to do is apply some effect to the player render, I guess.

Exactly what we were thinking! Just like collecting Derek Jeter cards or something along those lines. We think its a great way for people to learn the players of the league, past and present.

Awesome! We are planning to get a team together, so we can make sets complete with base cards, parallels, and inserts. We would also plan on having different kinds of packs, like draft picks before the draft. The inserts could also change over time, like adding all-star players from that season.

Glad you think so!

This is really awesome. I suck at all things graphical but I could help with like the logistical side of things. Like how many of what cards would be released and what not.
