If you would be able and willing, maybe we could collaborate on how to get those backgrounds converted into dats! Dont feel obligated though, I know people have lives outside madden lol!

Thanks again man, Couldnt have done it without you!


Well I'm glad you found some use for them. Funny thing about the stadium files is that I was trying to fix the misalignment of the crowd for the broncos, eagles and panthers when I realized that once the files were ripped and successfully inserted back, that why not extract the stadiums from madden 07 and insert them in 08. When that also was successful I tried tried sun devil stadium and it worked. That lead me to look into other versions of madden's stadiums and I was able to find most of the new stadiums in madden 05 and a few practice fields in madden 04.

To me these new stadiums have given madden a new feel and non of this would have been possible without the tools created by the amazing programmers in here.

Oh, so it was you who ripped the old stadiums. Thank you, elguapo. Or else High School Madden wouldn't look as authentic!

Yeah, this whole community is really an amazing thing. One thing leads to another which leads to another and eventually gets us where we are today. I thanked you because you were the most recent, traceable link for me, but really, the whole community is to thank. So thank you for pointing that out.


As far as the mod goes, Im getting closer to finishing the Northern Tier of the state. I think it could be done within a week, but I am helping my sister move this weekend and I really dont want to rush it. I also like to play around with some things to see how i feel about it, which takes a little extra time as well.

As it stands, I have 4 uniforms left to create, and about 20 stadiums. Stadums are generally pretty quick though. Then after that, its time to start working on the teams in the southern half of the state. Again, for a total of 64 teams. At some point, I will upload some stuff pertinent to the mod such as maps, conferences, districts, past records, etc.

New post cause I didnt want the last one to be too long..

Here is an example of a few "mini" textures I have been playing with to just see how it goes. Let me know what you think

So for whatever reason, I remember loving the little star under the players in Madden '99. So, here is me paying homage to the little star, I think I will definitely include this in the mod =)

My Star!

Also, To give the game a more "high school" feel, I edited the playcall screen texture. This is a work in progress, as i threw it together in about 10 minutes last night at midnight, but I like how it looks, and I will probably build on it. It is supposed to look like a chalk board, a fixture in almost any high school locker room. Thoughts? (I wish I would have got a cap from offense, but oh well...)
Image

Some more teams I got finished...
St. Michaels Dukes
Image

Collinsville Gamblers
Image

Williamsburg Generals
Image

Difillipsburg Lions
Image

Image

Mackle Valley Seminoles (I really like the helmet logo on this team, one of my favorites)
Image

Image

Lemon Ridge Racers... Or as the announcer says "RIDGGGGGGE RACERRRRRRRRRRRRRs"
Image

Image

North Tech Northmen
Image

Fort Scully Magic (Another helmet logo I really like! Looks very High School-y to me)
Image

Image

Lake Andrew Claymores
Image

Image

Dietz Mountain Bucks
Image

EDIT: Just wanted to add this pic

Matthewsburg Maulers in default grey unis.

I know I say I like some logos or unis... But honestly, I love them all the same. Let me know how you think its going!

Hey everyone, if you follow this mod at all, I would GREATLY appreciate your input on something.. I finally figured out how to make one of the practice fields into a playing field I would be comfortable using by adding a crowd in. The only issue (possibly dealbreaking) is the fact that the scoreboard is nonoperational. It is merely a texture and can not be made to operate as far as i know. Here are some shots of the stadium I threw together. This is about 5 minutes of work, and was made as just an example to see if you would appreciate this field being used in the mod despite the scoreboard not working.

I was almost positive I took more screens, but i guess not... On the opposite endzone, is a brick school that I think looks really good.
Anyway, thoughts on the scoreboard? Can you overlook it? The score banner appears at all times during the game like usual.. I could change the scoreboard texture into something else, but then the field would be completely baren of a scoreboard. thoughts, PLEASE! Thanks!

Nicole Dolphins

Brouseburg Trappers

Hendrickson Steelers

Image

Nefnee Sharks (Turned out pretty cool, in my opinion)
Image

And that will do it for the uniforms in the Northern Tier (District 1) of the VIAA. As I stated earlier, I have about 20 stadiums to do, but that shouldnt be too bad. After thats done, Its on to the southern half of the state =)

Love this mod.
