CAP Format

[legendary]

This is the format that I want everyone to use on their CAPs from now on. This way, everything is uniform and easier for people to copy down. If you have a CAP already up that is NOT compliant, merely change the format so that everything is compliant. it's not that hard, actually. Note that I will be changing my CAPs to completely comply with this as well.

For the subject:

Position Player's Name, Team (EX: HB Mike Bell, Broncos)

Inside the topic:

Name: Full name, don't do First Name and Last Name (EX: Mike Bell)
Position: What this player does for a living in the NFL. (EX: HB)
Number: Self-explanantory. (EX: 29)
Team: Which team has him to a contract. If he has no team, put FA for Free Agent (EX: Denver Broncos)
College: Which school he played his ball at. If he didn't play college ball, a la Vince Papale, or he played in Canada, put N/A. The team name is optional but it's a nice touch. (EX: Arizona Devils, with Arizona being the school name and Devils the team name.)
Height/Weight: His height/His weight. If you need more explanation you shouldn't be making a CAP. (EX: 6'1"/218)
Age: How old he is. (EX: 23)
Years Pro: How long he's been in the league. If he's a rookie, put 0.
Hand: Right-handed? Left? This is also the footed-ness for Kickers and Punters. (EX: Right)

Skin: His skin color. There are three choices: Light, Medium, and Dark. (EX: Medium)
Hair Color: Which kind of light his locks reflect. (EX: Black)
Hairstyle: Close Crop, Buzzcut, Bald, Balding, Combover, Mullet, Dreadlocks, Fade, Long, and Afro are the choices I know of. Pick one based on his picture. (EX: Buzzcut)
Face: There are over 100 faces, and they all look very similar, so I'm not going to be picky about which one you choose. (EX: 109)
[Note] Tattoos are not expected as most tats are unique and as such not included in-game.

Helmet: What style helmet he wears.
Facemask: What style Facemask.
Visor: Clear or Dark. Or N/A, if he doesn't wear any.
[Note] These are all I'm expecting, as most players don't adorn much more. If he does, include them, but I'm not expecting you to do a bunch of 'None's.

Tendency: Basically, what the game says your guy is based on the stats you provide. You can see it right at the top of the screen when you are inputting/modifying the stats. (EX: Balanced HB)

OVR: I won't accept a player worse than 65 or better than 79 for CAPs, unless you are importing players from Madden 06 that were in the standard rosters but got skipped over this year. People seem to be doing pretty well with the ratings, so I won't delve into limits and rules for them. Although, I do ask that you include ALL the stats, not just the relevant ones.

Notes:

Place this at the end. Don't add notes after stats, as you need to RIGHT-ALIGN the stats. You can do this by highlighting everything up to stats and clicking on the Align Right button. For people that can't figure out where this button is, the tags are

Finally, if you get CAPs from other people, for Heaven's Sake TEST THEM FIRST. You never know what exactly is wrong with it or if he's just throwing numbers onto a piece of paper.

[EDIT] A clarification on testing stats: All I ask is that you do some minimal research on the player (just get any old scouting report) and put the stats into Madden to make sure of the OVR and Tendency. That is all I ask. [END]

Also, make sure that whatever CAPs you make go in this forum only. Once they are peer-approved, the mods will put them in the CAP Forum.

That is all.
