A couple days ago a retired Marine, blue-collar badass named GlueFingers Lavelli made this piece of bad assery:
Inspired by this (and being a PS3 owner) I came up with this in my first crack at it:
I figure if this goes over well I could also make an Xbox 360 version & perhaps Heisman Editions with say Braxton & Troy or Eddie.
Any suggestions are welcome! Go Bucks!
Note: In light of Denard Robinson "winning" this upcoming cover - there will be a special cover in store for him and TTUN too.
#1 suggestion from RunEddieRun1983 - "A Silver Bullets Edition" featuring some of the top defensive players to don the Scarlet & Gray.
I'm thinking a maximum of 4-6 players 50% old school 50% new school? But you guys need to determine who those top 4-6 guys will be!
nice...but i still hate the new logo
I hate the new logo too... =/ Hopefully they will revise that mistake.
"Leave...Your...Mark..."
those are actually pretty sweet covers. I like them a lot and will be waiting anxiously for the scUM cover, haha
Nice work on the cover, looks awesome. Any chance on a 360 version?
Thank you kindly and Yessir there will be!
"Leave...Your...Mark..."
Those are nice. And I agree, why on earth did they change the logo. I didn't appreciate the old one till they brought out this cheesy one
Need a silver bullets edition. Put Hawk/Speilman/Jenkins etc. on it, but overall those are sick.
Just a life long Buckeye fan wanting to talk to other lifelong Buckeye fans. Our honor defend, we will fight to the end for OOO HIIII OOOOOO!
We should take a vote on this one! I'm gonna add this to the topic if you don't mind!
"Leave...Your...Mark..."
Whose signature is above the "Featuring ESPN" logo???
Appears to be Van Helsing.
My signature I threw on there!
"Leave...Your...Mark..."
I was scrolling down with an accidental downvote. I'll up vote you elsewhere to negate.
Oh gotcha!
Can you put "The Chase" banner in the background, a little above the field, on the ps3 version? I think that would be so bad ass.
I'll definitely experiment with that idea!
"Leave...Your...Mark..."
I like it but why '14? And Simon was a 2012 Senior.
Because sports games always release with the following year's number accept for MLB I believe, but the FIFA, MADDEN, NCAA, Tiger Woods PGA, & NHL games always release with the later year because their seasons all carry over into the following year, i.e. this season coming up will be the 2013-14 season.
And thanks for looking out, but John Simon is a 2013 senior (2012-2013 season) and then there's this:
"John, invited to the Senior Bowl and the NFL Combine, is expected to graduate in spring 2013 with his degree in sports & leisure studies ..."
I appreciate it though!
"Leave...Your...Mark..."
Sorry Gametime, wasn't trying to nitpick. I see what you are saying about the '14 cover.
But I still think Simon's senior year of football is the 2012 season.
In any case, I think the cover looks great.
No biggie OSUSTU! Thanks! ^_^
"Leave...Your...Mark..."
this decides it....im buying ncaa football 2014. just so i can take out their cover and replace it with these. and i dont own a gaming console.
GT, that is awesome.
Woody over UFM's shoulder, Spielman over Simon's.....chills.

Thanks Hovenaunt! That's the feel I was going for when it hit me, I felt the same!
"Leave...Your...Mark..."
I really liked that a lot as well. Very well done...
The world is full of kings & queens who'll blind your eyes & steal your dreams - it's heaven & hell - Ronnie James Dio.
This is awesome. Would it be possible to get the just the people/artwork (no NCAA, EA, etc.) in a wallpaper-sized image?
Gimme some sizes & I could do that (I know some people still have different screen sizes out there)! As a matter of fact - I think I'll take BuckeyeNinja's idea and add "The Chase" banner to the wallpaper!
"Leave...Your...Mark..."
1920 x 1080 would be nice for me... thanks!
Looks really good, but I would suggest for Simon's left arm (right of the photo) that the red coming of looks like a bullet wound above his shoulder. If you incorporate the effect on Urban's left arm, I think it would look better. IMO
Gametime - props. Amazing work.
I know you're not taking special requests, but I'd love to see a background with TBDBITL scripting "Game Over"...
Keep Calm and Ignore the Trolls.
Ironically, I came really close to using this, BUT I do have something else planned for it! ;)
"Leave...Your...Mark..."
I really like the design you got there, but I noticed that the filter you used made Urban look really old lol. It almost looks like Kurtwood Smith.
This just goes to show that the game makers should really allow buyers to print off the cover they want to put on their game. The games could come with whatever they want but buyers should have the choice to change it to what they want.
Not a gamer though so don't really care.
OK, these are incredible. Do you plan to just let us print our own? If so, some simple sizing instructions would be appreciated. Many thanks.
Also, I'd love to redo past years covers if you had that much time on your hands before the season starts.
Well, that Xbox 360 version isn't my own work (I am making an one), & I will size them to dimension when the print versions are finalized, that way all you'll need is a steady hand & a blade. ^_^
"Leave...Your...Mark..."
The six silver bullets IMO: Jack Tatum, Chris Spielman, A.J. Hawk, Antoine Winfield, Mike Doss, and James Laurinaitis. That would be pretty outstanding.
Dustin Fox was our leading tackler as a corner.... because his guy always caught the ball.
@Gametime, thanks for the shoutout. I did not make the cover, a guy at operationsports did it for me per request. As for the Marine part, I was, but I wouldn't consider myself being a badass given my duties as a helicopter mech. LOL Ask a grunt what they call us wrench benders.
Your cover work is outstanding!! great work man.

No problem at all Glue, gotta love the guys over at OS (especially if you're a sports gaming fan). No matter what the situation - you still dedicated yourself to something bigger than yourself. Much respect!
And thanks for the compliments & your "Silver Bullets" ed. suggestions!
