icons for fantasy football...
hello
this will not cause any problems i think ;)
so here's the idea: when a player have many skills, it becomes hard to see what he have.
I think that have the choice between text skills or icon skills will be a great idea.
so, i could be one colour for each type of skill:
in ordre: general, strenght, agility, pass, mutation, extraordinary
and then, some tests of skills icons:
general, by order:
block fend wrestle
strenght by order:
Mighty Blow, Grab, Juggernaut, Tacle, Break Tacle, Strong Arm, Pilling On, Thick Skull, Gard, Multiple Block
Agility by order:
Dodge, Leap, Jump Up, Diving Catch, Diving Tacle, Side step, sneaky geat, sure Feet
Extraordinary:
Hypnotic Gaze
and it could done that:
what about it ?
i think that the background should be more dark.

a) The marking system fixes this.
b) A happy, happy day will come when custom icons are enabled.

Out of curiosity, Purplegoo, what do you mean by 'custom icons' ?
Custom implies that the coaches themselves will be able to choose the icons that their opponents see. This seems like a recipe for disaster.

Used to have it on the old client, was some lovely ones floating about

In the initial chat about it, it was indicated there would be a 'revert to standard' button. So I can have the icons I like, and you can reject them in favour of the standard, or perhaps even your own.
I love all of the work done on the new icons, but with some, my eyes, they bleed.

arf, test image has been refused... don't know why... maybe too heavy, i will create another

They're nice icons, but I think maybe too busy for the pitch. I like the marking system, with 2 changes:
1. Either change the color of the text or make it dynamic. I can't see the markings well at all in a blizzard.
2. Remember markings for your own teams. It would save a lot of hassle at the beginning of matches. You'd just have to update them when players skill.
Also, I loved making custom icons in the old client and would love to be able to do it in the new one. Mine were mostly just old hacked-together mashups for the most part, but it was still fun.

I don't really see how this system is any better or different than what we have now.
Posted by Purplegoo on 2013-03-22 14:30:26
I think I misunderstood above. Now the player picture is working, I'm with Woodie. Surely text is fine?
Posted by Zed on 2013-03-22 14:39:26
i like when peoples can't see what my trees got as skills, even better then they don't know what it does -)

To be honest I wouldn't care much for such icons on the player 'card'. However some standardized (or customizable) way of displaying skills over the actual player icon on the pitch would be great (be it letters, icons, or something else). Barring that, at least saveable markings for your own teams would be a very useful.
Posted by Garion on 2013-03-22 14:43:07
text is better. I don't want to have to learn a bunch of new icons.
Posted by boeufmironton on 2013-03-22 14:44:33
but if you have the choice of text/icons ?
Posted by Scaramanga on 2013-03-22 15:26:34
I prefer text. But some icons for marking players would be cool.
Posted by WhatBall on 2013-03-22 17:02:27
I prefer text for the player list.
On field, I just use markings.
Block = B
Tackle = T
Blockle = &
Blodge = #
Diving Tackle = D
Side Step = s
Diving Tackle & Side Step = $
Tentacles = \/
Clawpomp = kill
etc.
I only wish the client remembered them for me.

Btw, your Wrestle and Jugger icons probably should be deleted and replaced with a different skull image.
Posted by dfunkateer on 2013-03-22 17:25:30
This just seems a bit unnecessary to me.
Nice icons, though...
