Ya for sure All worthy, especially Savage! I like that you’re adding small market alumni players. Those markets are the ones in need! Big markets are mostly stacked!

I added the following to the spreadsheet:
- Dany Heatley (Ottawa)
- Shane Doan (Arizona)
- Pavol Demitra (St. Louis)
-Pavel Bure (Vancouver)
- Jarome Iginla (Calgary)
- Tomas Kaberle (Toronto)
- Andrei Markov (Montreal)
- Tim Thomas (Boston)
- Ray Emery (Ottawa)
- Nikolai Khabibulin (Tampa Bay)
- Chris Drury (Buffalo)
- Roberto Luongo (Florida)
- Brian Gionta (New Jersey)
- Derek Boogaard (Minnesota)
- Rick Nash (Columbus)
- Brian Rafalski (New Jersey)
- Ed Jovanovski (Vancouver)
- Steve Sullivan (Nashville)

I also added spreadsheets for Arizona, Columbus & Minnesota (Wild).

Thanks

A few random pictures:

Messier (Rangers need to bring back this jersey as an alternate)

Brian Savage (Turned out pretty good IMO. Will add to spreadsheet soon)

Khabibulin

Giguere

Guy Hebert

Ty Conklin

Tony Esposito

Cheevers

Close to finish my roster project now, once I'm done I'll add some new players to the spreadsheet. I've done quite a few 80's players that turned out alright, among others.

BRAIN savage. Holy shit I totally forgot about him. BRAVO

I've got a question. What color on the color wheel do you guy use for the old goalie pads and equipment?
It almost has to be a perfect mix of orange and brown.

How long does it take for you guys to add players? And how much detail do you go into? For me I'm just trying to get a realistic franchise so I just do the name and location stuff in the first tab and obv the attributes

It all depends on how many players you’re creating. Just a single player can take quite a bit of time if you do not have any “formula” to work from. If you do have all that info, and their info for their attributes as well then it takes me about 8-10 minutes to create a player. I found that the more “prep-work” you do in advance (getting all the player’s specifics like height, weight, DOB, handedness, place of origin, etc.,) helps speed up the process as well. It’s kind of like prepping, chopping, organizing and measuring out all the ingredients before you start to cook a meal. The spreadsheets created by some of the guys on this and other sites are a huge help. I just recently created a spreadsheet that I use as a “Attributes Calculator”.

Yeah, I make these for franchise, not historical rosters, but I generally have a baseline for each league, where I can just search a player and all the stats pop up that give me a general play style and I just wing the attributes from there, I'm assuming you know, but elite prospects has everything on their site, you just have to go to the teams page for player number

I don't use the color wheel, I use the "Standard Colors" color "swatch" chart. The brown "swatch" on the bottom row, third from the right, is the one I use for all of my old goalie pads, trapper, and blocker.

Do you have to go individually and use that one for every single piece? Or when you use that first one there does it ask you automatically if you want to fill in the rest and then just does the rest for you?

I played with the color wheel. Had many different samples. Its hard. Once I found one I liked, I created a team and made it their main color so I wouldnt lose it. This is the brown I use for all old timers. If you’re wondering who’s the goalie, it’s Dave Dryden from Buffalo Sabres alumni team. Switched him to “Ken” Dryden.

The color will be there, but let's say the piece of equipment has 10-12 "zones" for color. You will need to select that color for each zone. You won't (or shouldn't) have to go to the chart each time for each zone. It's placed in a "recent" color swatch for the L2 button.

You can also fill in one of the pieces (let's say a glove) and auto-fill the pads and blocker. Will still probably have to make smaller adjustments on a couple areas but it can speed things up a little, especially with the old style gear

Added Mike Richards (Philadelphia) to spreadsheet.

How do you "auto-fill" the other pieces?

I'll double check it when I have access to my game but when you're colouring one part, if you press triangle on PS (I'm guessing Y on Xbox?) it gives you an option to use the colour scheme on that part on all parts. It does the stick too so id suggest colouring that last if you use this method and you'd still have to go in and make the more detailed changes but at least it transfers your flat brown colour to everything

Thanks. I did the same thing lol I turned Dave into Ken Dryden lol

I made him too...I'll give the formula later when I play

Okay that's not so bad then if that colour is saved for you

God damn this site drives me nuts with all the ads. Having to redo this post.
His face isn't perfect but he definitely plays and looks like him on the ice.

HEAD 94, BLUE EYES EYEBROW 2, LIGHT BROWN, HAIR 40, BLONDE,FULL BEARD LENGTH 1 WITH BLACK COLOR

 

[JakubC]

Added Mike Richards (Philadelphia) to spreadsheet.

I have Richards with head 26, not perfect but IMHO looks slightly better than the one with head 90...

If one wants to emulate his hair poking out of helmet as on the picture, hair style 32 looks fine with helmet on

Idk head 90 looked pretty spot on. It was hard to change. That head looks bit John Tavares in your pic. I know I used 26 for Kaberle and he came out great. Tough one. Depends I guess, sometimes during gameplay they looked different.
