I've been looking through the shirt database section under PCM tools. There are quite a few shirts I'd like to download and perhaps use for a custom team (in career mode).
I've managed to download a couple of them and have seen older threads giving advice for where to save them etc...and to rename/replace some of the original fantasy shirts before saving the new one's in the correct folder...but was wondering what happens (I appreciate it'd prob. be a long way off) when/if one of my team ends up in the lead for one of the tour's leader/sprinter/king of the mountains jerseys.
Do I need to contact the users that created those fantasy shirts that I'm interested in using....to download the respective leader's jerseys (relative to those fantasy shirts) or does the game automatically take care of this?
Yes, you have to contact the creator, as he has the photoshop file, which allows easy changes to the jersey. Otherwise, a different creator has to recreate the whole lower part of the jersey which can take quite some time...
For national championshirts, you usually have to recreate the whole jersey if you dont have the psd-file btw.
The only thing that differs the leader shirt that the game uses and the customized ones is that usually, the customized ones will have the shorts in the same color as the leader shirt, while the game one doesn't. It's quite uncommon for a fantasy shirt creator to also create leader shirts, since they aren't really needed.
What will happen in game if you don't have a customized leader shirt (most cases) is that the game will get the leader shirt of the race (without sponsors and anything), add your transferts on the front and back + shorts of your team.
