i know this has been asked about 1000 times but: is it possible to convert NHL 07 or 08 jerseys to NHL 04 and if its possible: could someone give me a detailed manual for it?

I just converted a bunch of NHL 07 and 08 stuff for 2004 myself. The only different is the black square around the numbers and letters for the newer games has to be converted to a transparent background (ie alpha transparency). This can be done with photoshop, but I use a free program called GIMP 2 which does the job nicely. The only trouble spot is teams with black in the numbers. I changed the background around the numbers to a different colour thats not part of teh teams colour set, and set this as my transparency colour.

thanks! i've read something about changing the size or something like that. do you need to do this?
what jerseys have you converted?

The Pegger

I did all the stuff teams wore for 2005-06. The only thing I haven't found is a goo number set for the Islanders orange alternate. I still use grip's old numbers for that, and all the letters are from his unis from when 2004 was the current game. They're small enough that they're not that noticable. But all the uniforms are 1024x1024, the numbers are 64x128 (although really the arm numbers should only be 32x64 but the larger size seems to be ok) and the captains letters I have 128x128. Don't go any higher than that or the game will crash. I'm also working on converting a lot of vintage stuff from teh 15 jersey packs, because frankly EA's default unis suck.

AlBundy

are your converted jerseys just for nhl teams or have you also converted international or del jerseys???

cornuto71

same thing there is no difference in converting international or del jerseys....just do what pegger has mention above and you should be fine

I've only done the NHL so far
