The 1960's re-visited

[Argyle1968]

I got a late start into Max Football, but that hasn't dampened my enthusiasm for the game. I've really gotten a kick tweaking the game to suit my tastes, and I thought I'd share some screen shots. First up: Oilers at Chiefs, ca. mid-1960's, from Kansas City's Municipal Stadium.

That is pretty sweet! Wish I had the patience and skill to do this. late 60's and mid to late 70's was by far my most favorite time of the NFL. Very nice job

[Argyle1968]

Thanks. It's really pretty easy to do once you start fooling around with it. If I can do it, anyone can. Good source material helps, and fortunately in the last few years NFL Films and NFL Network have made a ton of great 1960's and 1970's footage available. Here's a shot from San Diego's Balboa Stadium, Patriots vs. Chargers.

Yankee Stadium. Old Coach was kind enough to send me the mod he was using and I added the frieze and the end zone art which is ca mid 1960's.

Quality work.

That is some great work I finished watching all the AFL shows on Showtime this past week

[Argyle1968]

Thanks, guys. "Full Color Football", about the AFL, the one from Showtime, is a great documentary. I think it's going to be on the NFL Network starting this Friday as well.

Thats some great looking stuff, 70s was my era also.

If there is one thing about MaxFB that you gotta love, it's the ability to do what you are doing. Nothing better than a football 'sandbox' to play in.

[Argyle1968]

I agree.  I was thinking about Madden, and I know there are many historical mods for it, but I really like the near total customization that is possible with Max FB.  I wish I knew how to do the 3D modeling because designing stadiums--I mean, actual recreations--would be something I'd really love to do.  There are some really unique ones from the era--like Buffalo's War Memorial--that I'd love to try.

This is about is close as I can come right now, I think, but at least it evokes the general feel of the different stadiums.  Maybe someday I'll have the time to sit down and learn how to use a good 3D modeling program.

gary stated: If there is one thing about MaxFB that you gotta love, it's the ability to do what you are doing. Nothing better than a football 'sandbox' to play in.

I agree. It is like having a bucket of tinker toys in a sandbox. Add some plastic army men and dinosaurs, and there you go!

I'm proud of this one--Dig all that dirt in the end zone!

Looks fantastic! What program did you use to make the stadium? Was it Blender or Gamespace? How did you teach your self? I been wanting to make true current NCAA stadiums for my league.
