SPOT OF THE WEEK - By CAP Faction

For both Xbox and PS3

Just like clip and pic of the week I present to you SPOT OF THE WEEK. This will not be complete parks, it will be "Spots"! Each week you will receive the beginning of a Spot whether its a small building/s, stair set, street, etc.. The challenge is who can create the sickest spot!

3 judges will be looking for Creativity, style, unique ideas, and of course skate ability!

The Judges will vary, and will be CAP Faction / ST members for PS3 (No one on CAP Faction / ST can enter)

Important info -

-A new spot will be posted on Fridays (time varying)
-Deadline is the following Friday night/Saturday morning eastern time (US)
-Winner will be announced the following week (depends on the amount of "spots" received and Judges availability.)

RULES - (Please pay attention here, Rules will slightly vary each week according to the Spots design)

This weeks rules -

1. You MUST build within the 35 pads currently placed. You CAN change the flooring but try not to exceed the amount of space currently taken up..
2. You CAN raise and lower the flooring in any area you please..
3. You CAN ad onto the buildings but CAN NOT delete anything currently on them..
4. You CAN change the colors of any and everything
5. You CAN move the spot to another location within the park
6. The Spot MUST be completely closed in (walls, other buildings, etc. etc.)
7. You CAN ad anything you want anywhere within the park (buildings, stairs, ledges, water, grass, etc etc etc etc.)
8. POST AT LEAST 3 pics within this thread when your done, do not edit the pics other then size! Also post the LINK within this thread or on LB.

Pretty nice idea, I'd participate if I had a creative mind when it comes to making parks, but I never do and even if I get a small idea, it would never be enough to even fill out a spot that small.

I hear ya, but its still worth a shot.. Not like you HAVE to enter... I'm hoping some will at least be inspired to try CAP when given a jumping off point..

(I tried adding you on ps3, dif. name?)

Yeah dude, I'll give it a try next time i'm on to see if I can come up with anything.

and I already added you on ps3, hah, 'WhoIsDerek'

uh i guess i could do the base peice for xbox if you want. what are they? just regs ramp thing material is it? with bus shelters for windows?
great idea btw

Do your best no matter what. What the Competition looks like won't matter then.

Dude old guess wat man it happened again. finally added my stairs after my game froze 9 times and i now fall through the floor. guess im starting over

save the park often when your building, if it freezes and you end up falling threw the floor again just delete the last couple things you added. Should fix it, worked for budduh

I would love to give this a shot but my xbox freezes after about 10 seconds every time I load the spot:(

try re dli'ng it mine kept freezing but seems to work perfect now

The household shares one modem so its a lot of work to get online. Im gonna give it another shot today.

I'm feeling pretty good about what I've got done so far but all I've got done so far is a single staircase sooooo there's plenty of space yet for me to screw it up

I can judge if need be.... I'd enter, but only holidays and a tad bit lazy haha (btw os I think this is a very cool idea, and I like the buildings haha)

To you have any idea's for your second area?

sick idea. Really sick.

Look forward to seeing the spots

my entry is just a lil inspired hotel/motel. has nice bank to rail, some stairs, flat ledges, and a high curve ledge

im in ngive me a day ( cant promise anything good tho :P )

are we alowed to create stuff out side to spot like buildings for decerative use only?

p.s sorry for bad spelling :P

Yes, its more the skate-able area that needs to be within the designated area.

k thnaks man !!!!

Old skooler, i thought i commented back i guess i didnt. Id like to judge on this first one if u didnt get 3 already.
Also after i saw this picturehttp://i1090.photobucket.com/albums/...dd279/spot.jpg
I realized i didnt build the building the same exact, it was hard too see those details from the first pics, hope its still good

Sever, so your not entering? If not yes of course you can judge (xbox right).. Contact Marcopolo and let him know.. I need 1 more judge for xbox, can you find someone unbias?

FYI: the PS3 park is version is completely built on an angle. nothing lines up when you try to move things holding R1!

i'm still going to try to make something, but I have to essentially remake the park.

Hmm, what are you trying to move the whole park to another location? (copy / drag). If so it might just be all funny merging with the "windows" that won't allow you to do it. I don't think I put the park on an angle unless the first piece caught a mild snapped angle when I placed it.

Yeah i was seeing how many people were gonna do this and i had like 25 dls so that should be good, ill judge this one. I think riverking said hed like to be one

I'd be happy to judge on the XBOX side if you need me to OS.. This pending the advice to get me on the skate service works. Been battling out with EA.

yeah, it seemed like one piece got placed at a very slight angle and then everything else just followed suit. no worries, though. i just went through and straightened everything.

btw, i love this idea! i just hope i can get some inspiration by friday. hah

I also love the idea, wish I could enter haha!

Jsmith, would love you to be a judge, but only if you can make it definite. I'll also be needing a permanent Xbox judge, someone willing to do it every week and find 2 others..

Yah, I would love to be a part, this share service issue has been killing me though, lets see if the advice I received works tonight and i'll post back and go from there. If I still can't gain access, I won't be the bad apple, I'll turn the position down.

okey this is my atempt at the SOTW.
so this is basicly a posh hotel called grove hotel and it has one main spot the 12 set. i purposely made there very little to skate because at a spot there isent always loads of skatable stuff (well from what ive seen) but there are some small obsticals you can hit.

thanks for reading

p.s sorry for any bad spelling :P

Well the forum advice didn't work for me and after a 45 minute phone call with EA tech support, the best they could do last night was get my skate online service visually working again, I still however am getting nation errors when uploading or downloading anything so I guess for now i'll just sit on the sidelines.

Supposedly they moved my case from a tier 1 call to a tier 3 call, whatever that means in ea mumbo jumbo, they are supposed to call me back within 48hrs with more detailed support. As popular a game as skate with a dedicated fanbase, this just amazes me.

Looks real good Platypus, be sure to post it on LB - http://likebuttermag.com/forum/topics/spot-of-the-week so the xbox judges can grab it.

Jsmith, that seriously sucks man. I know a lot of guys been having issues but yours seems worse? Maybe its because your still on XBOX :)
I PM'ed you my email

yeh i have just made one wating for it to be validated

So my idea was the front of a, hospital , with the emergency door handicap ramp , and bunch of custom ledges and benches , with some slight brick banks around the spot to keep ur flowhttp://skate.ea.com/gallery?contentT...itemId=1278563http://i1104.photobucket.com/albums/...TW/1278565.jpg the emergency enterance handicap ramp/ rail to bank http://i1104.photobucket.com/albums/...TW/1278566.jpg a bunch of custom ledges and building detail http://i1104.photobucket.com/albums/...TW/1278567.jpg a look at the whole spot

I'm pretty much done with my SOTW entry, but apparently I can't post anything with URLs until I have at least 10 posts.

btw, will there be one overall winner or will there be a PS3 winner and a XBOX winner?

also be sure to post your spots on Likebuttermag.com SOTW thread.

There will be a 1st, 2nd, and 3rd place winner for both Xbox and PS3 (total 6).

I started working on my entry last week and then my job packed hours on me. I'm gunna try and finish it after work tonight and friday after work, but that doesn't give me much time. Are there late enrties I don't want this to have been a wasted effort :(

Mine'll be late too. I went and made the mistake of getting a super awesome job that has me working a lot of hours, which means I have not a lot of hours to do this.

Can't really extend the do date / time. BUT, the official judging will begin when I get the time to play on Saturday and have both judges with me in a sesh. Before that sesh starts I'll be checking the forums for entries, if you there, you'll get judged.

Here's my SOTW entry, I didn't sleep to finish it lol.

http://i702.photobucket.com/albums/w...icture7-10.png
Its supposed to be like a main entrance/courtyard for a bunch of high paying business buildings. Normally off limits to non employees, Richie Richards (skater in pictures) made copies of his entrance key so people can skate it when they feel like getting a quick line before security gets em.

K grind the bench into a gap over the rail.

Richie's about to get a heelflip out of this 5-0 behind the main building.

http://i702.photobucket.com/albums/w...icture4-16.png
Smith grinds all around the curved bench, (To be fair duce nls originally had the idea for a curved bench months ago in a collab park we made. I just moded out the idea so it would have a back and supports among other things)

Don't worry about it just yet sever, seems a lot of guys are running late anyway with their entries. Soon as you guys can get together is fine (or message him with what you think). I know Budduh, Jebotek, and myself already have a good idea of 1st, 2nd, and 3rd but waiting for a couple guys to get their spots up.

EA finally came through, ehh?

Ohmidineffect Wins!

also i didnt make a spot this week but will next

Wow I like obiwan's a lot too. Detailing is awesome (like the circular design in first pic).. and all his fences look incredible (second last picture, I can't tell how).

I went and looked at the LBM thread and all of the parks that really blow the competition away are from Fluckit XD

I wish I'd managed to finish mine but at least I worked out a really awesome starting point for a new park.

I really REALLY wanna skate obiwans park lets see what ps3 does

obi and ohmid all they way

I'm seriously surprised at the lack of XBOX entries????????? Are X'boxer's having troubles uploading? Due date was this past Friday and on the PS3 side we extended it to "end of weekend" do to uploading issues. Judging on the 6 entries is done on PS3 side, winners will be announced soon.

Just the 2 entries for Xbox? Judging isn't just by looks so I need conformation on whether or not the xbox parks have skate ability, flow, unique hits, etc.

SOTW-2 is all ready to go, just need to figure out whats up with the xbox side, do we need 2 weeks rather then 1?

I don't know about everyone else but I didn't enter this week because I moved houses and haven't gotten my internet set up yet....fucking sudden link :( dude if all goes well ill be all over next weeks sotw. Im too drunk to type on this phone!

I wanna see number two already. And one week is good. It gives enough pressure to create something out of your comfort zone.

I was going to try my hand at this but everytime I entered park editor my xbox would freeze after about 10 seconds. I tried re-downloading it and got the same result.
I also noticed that the last park I uploaded never showed up on skate nation. It says I've posted 4 parks, yet it only shows 3. When I tried to re-upload the park it says its already been uploaded. Im having all sorts of fun dealing with ea nation.

In all honesty I would think having 2 weeks would be cool, I'm slow with my parks, don't like to build for more than 45 mins at a time.

But being summer is probably the main reason for this, I think

Sucks there's only 2 entries for xbox, I'd love to enter, but I lack creativity lol I might still give it a go for the next ones, only if time lets me and if the reel stops being retarded lol I guess I can try the next one... is it up yet?

I'm slow with my parks too, usually takes me a week to build something super small lol I'll have to see though, but I think 2 weeks is better imo, but that's just me.

Sorry to up an old thread, but any chance Ohmid or platy still have your parks upped anywhere? I want to skate them and the content is gone. :(

Any assistance is much appreciated.

theyre on another account, deathbot01
