Thanks guys, but think about all the hard work that's went into the unis, stadiums, cyberfaces and so on..

I've donated in the past, but I've downloaded more than my share of other people's hard work. I really only have 2 templates that could be 'universal'. The Post Game Scoreboard and the Lineup Template. The Highlight board changes everyday, so I really don't have a "Template" for that to speak of.

Anyway, if there are enough people that want them, just post it in this thread. If not, life goes on. ;)

I almost forgot, here is how the other one would be uploaded:

You know I want it, Joe. :razz:

honestly JR, I wouldn't upload anything. You have a great dynasty, which you put a ton of effort into, and it shows tremendously. By uploading these templates, your cheapening the value of your hard work. Even if I were to start a dynasty, which I've often thought about, I wouldn't ask for your work. Dynasties are individual works of ingenuity and creativity, and using other people's work just destroys the beauty of it.

I've thought both ways about it fred, and I agree with most of what you're saying. A Dynasty is more of an individual thing, and comparing it to the other universal downloads (stadiums, unis, etc...) is definately comparing apples to oranges.

On the other hand, I can see the positives too. It would be interesting to see where people 'take' my idea. And besides, I don't want to come off as selfish, because I'm not that way at all.

The work (on the templates) are finished. And I have so many ideas floating around that I'll probably come up with something different before it's all over anyway.

With that said, I honestly don't mind. If there are enough people that want them, feel free to ask and I'll see about how to upload them. If there isn't a demand, I'll just sit on them until they evolve into something else.

I definately appreciate the comments though.

I thought about that, but what I figure, is if someone isn't making their own templates, they aren't going to "take" the idea anyway, and it will be just a blatant rip off to make their own dynasty look good without putting any effort in it. I do, however, think that you will keep evolving your display and I'm sure it will reach new heights of greatness.

By no way should anyone conceive that you are being selfish by not sharing your work. The way I see it, is why post a dynasty, if all you want to do is play.

I can honestly say I didn't see this (people wanting the templates) coming. The thought never even crossed my mind.

Here's a new board that ESPN displays during their Baseball Tonight Broadcast. Not exact, but close, and I thought it would be an interesting way to show streaks and slumps.

LOL, I made one similar to it, the ESPN Lineup card and Pitcher stats card too for the dinasty that I will start. But your's look really good.

Looking forward to it, HLFR. What team are you starting a dynasty with?

Nice at the plate addition, now it will give us(the viewers) a more in depth report on some players, and just a suggestion you might want to put their batting average in there.

And about you uploading those templates i know i asked for one just to mess around with, but idk if you should because people follow(well at least i do) dynasties because of there originality, but if you decide to then its your decision.

The "at the plate" analysis is a really nice addition to this dynasty. Well thought of JR.

BTW, looks like DeRosa is going to be back for the Washington series. Hopefully the rest can be a good thing for him and he can start hitting like the way he can. Good luck man.

The stat choices on the new board will always change. HR's, K's, BB's, BA, SB's...it really depends on what the certain player is being highlighted for.

As far as the templates, I'll give it a few days and see what happens. The fact that there are really only a handful of people that are doing dynasties, I doubt if there's going to be enough demand to upload them anyway.

He was actually injured after hitting a triple (his first hit in a LONG time) and sliding into third. That was the hardest I'd seen him hit the ball all year.

Never fails, eh?

Felix...Felix...Felix... :smile:

Looking good JR.

Man, I hoping that Sweet Lou finds a way to keep him in the lineup for real when Soriano comes back. I say move Soriano to LF and have Pie in center.

With a caribbean team when the MVP Caribbean mod is finished.

Jody Gerut is a machine.

I'm not sure how many at bats he has, I'll have to check it out. Xavier Nady is just rippin' the ball in this series. Whether it's an out or not, he's just scorching everything I leave in the strikezone.

Soriano in left and Pie in center is definately an option. With their speed (93,95 resptively), there would be no such thing as a 'gap'.

RF is basically still up for grabs, but your suggestion makes sense either way. Thanks for the input, Maestro.

*Got the game on here too, bottom 1, no score*

Can't wait, HFLR. A Caribbean dynasty would be an excellent addition to the dynasty thread.

Definatetly looking forward to that one.

Before I started the Cub's Dynasty, I was actually going to just do the WBC Tournament (as USA), and use the game matchups from last year. I thought that would have been something at least different.

I wouldn't mind seeing someone else pick that up as well.

That's surprising as to how much we think alike JR. Cause I actually have 3 different dynasties that I am playing and one of them is the WBC (the other one is a 2007 Brewers dynasty).

I have actually started making my templates for the WBC, which I am thinking of posting after my Red Sox dynasty is over with.

I'd love to see WBC dynasty or tourney, however it would be presented. I went as far as downloading the rosters, unis, etc., but I changed my mind somewhere in the middle.

HFLR has plans to do a Caribbean dynasty too, I'm looking forward to both.
