CFB 26 Team Builder Wishlist

This is what I wish will happen in CFB 26 Team Builder 

  1. Allow Unlimited create team slots (maybe a round number of 100) that can be used in both Dynasty and absolutely play now.
  2. Must have a stadium Creator or at least add generic stadiums (at least 10) 
  3. Unlimited uniform choices (currently only have 5) 
  4. The ability to play offline again (that is a must) 
  5. The ability to write the text on the field and on the uniforms 
  6. Add more field layers and make sure that they actually work 
  7. Like Madden the ability to replace all FBS Teams in Dynasty mode to create your own personal league. 
  8. Make sure the website works on any computer regardless of using Chrome, Firefox Safari
  9. Have Team Builder teams entrances like the FBS Teams have 
  10. Have an option where you can set up a playoff system and you don't have to play the season if you don't want to. 
  11. Add more logo slots (10 max 4 min) 
  12. Fix all of the bugs especially the 400 error garbage that won't allow you to create new teams. 
  13. Have Team Builder built inside the game and be able to upload logos and scratch the online experience all together. 
  14. Duplicate NCAA Football 14 (The OG) Team Builder 
  15. Really tweak the violations aspect because how is Morgantown, West Virginia offensive? 
  16. Edit the names for your Team Builder teams like the OG Team Builder did. 
  17. Stop losing created teams that cannot be found because they magically disappeared in thin air. 
  18. The ability to successfully upload your downloaded teams by your gamer tag on CFB and Madden. 
  19. If you create a team from South Carolina, then you should be able to recruit from that same state and not the team state you replaced in Dynasty 
  20. Make CFB 26 Team Builder better than CFB 25 and even better than the goat NCAA Football 14 (The OG) Team Builder. 

This version of the Team Builder was hit and miss but more miss than hit due to all of the bugs. Make Team Builder greater than ever.

    agent 009 you are so correct I miss the OG Teambuilder 2014. We have better technology now than we did 10 years ago so why is that so hard to implement? I am hoping that CFB 26 Teambuilder is 100 times better than CFB 25's version. Bring back the 120 slots that you could buy in DLC. That was huge and I didn't mind buying it. You could use all of the teams in play now and that is a must for CFB 26 and Madden 26. 

  • I believe that EA can take a page out of 2k in regards to TB ..which is like you said putting it on the console and just use the site as a way of uploading logos and then do the rest in game 

    infact you could go as far as stadium building like 2k does 

    as well

    My biggest beef is not being able to play in offline dynasties with my created teams. They advertised that this would be a thing and is the reason I purchased 25. I won't purchase another college football game until I can play in an offline dynasty with my teams. Back in the day I'd create ten or so teams and play with all 10 in a dynasty. It was fun playing different styles of offense and defense and even recruiting against myself and seeing what I could do with each program. I mean, what's the point in creating all of these teams if I can only play with one? 

    There are other things that would be nice. The stadium thing is a big one. I hate seeing schools and logos around the stadium that aren't mine. It does ruin some of it for me. 

    Changing player names online seems like a no-brainer. Why they blocked that is beyond me. 

    Fixing the errors is obviously a must. I have a few teams I've created that don't have anything offensive about them that I can't get uploaded for whatever reason. It would also be nice if they actually told us what is causing it rather than some vague BS that they offer now. 

    Also, why can we create 32 teams but only download 16? That doesn't compute. 

    More and better/easier customization's, especially for the field, would certainly be nice. 

    But again, for me, until I can play offline dynasty with my created teams, I'm not interested in buying another game. I only bought 25 because they said this would be a feature

    So a majority of these 'requests' are never going to happen... especially the 'unlimited' ANYTHING part... I make my images pretty hi-res (sometimes, up to 900 DPI when setting up a CUSTOM FIELD)  Do you have any idea how much server space EA would need just for TB if everyone had an endless supply of stripes or cartoon-ee logos they could put on their helmets? I agree there needs to be maybe 12 slots for images, and an extra uni slot, but let's be reasonable...

    The website DOES work correctly, it's just REALLY slow and RAM intensive... I have a i5 4th gen with a 1080 gpu and 16gb RAM (it's 10+ years old) , and the site runs as intended on Firefox, both on windows, linux and MAC... Spend $ on your computer if you want to do some higher end graphic design... (I also agree a mobile version SHOULD be made, but would anyone here expect it to work perfectly, anyway?)

    Money has dictated that the only way that EA will make $$ of TB users is to force them into SOME form of extra yearly payment.  TB being offloaded onto a website saves production money, time and forcing TB dynasty users 'online' (even though most of us will play our dynasties alone, or at most, with one other person...) is the best way to get us TB people to buy EVERY YEAR instead of having a self contained custom football dynasty box to play for 4-6 years straight.  So it is what it is, and i don't expect much to change THIS year, considering the language that EA is using is no different... I don't even expect the TB website/ app to change AT ALL except for the '25' to read '26.'  I was just there yesterday putting finishing touches on teams  in anticipation for this year, and it's the exact same as it was in january..

    I agree, 'FIX the BUGS," but it goes deeper than that for me... error 400 is 'THE TEAM IS CORRUPT, START OVER," essentially.  FINE..... 112 is Helmet violation, 113 is Jersey, 114 is pants, i've even seen a 115 CHECK THE SOCKS error code (YES, I even screenshotted it) Again, FINE, and i've even thanked EA for the info. But uh....  WHAT LOGO IS CAUSING THE ERROR?  Is it that hard to, i dunno, FLAG THE LOGO UPON UPLOAD?  Stop wasting my time when i 'create' these images (Yea, some of em are PROLLY copyrighted, but it makes no sense when i can create a WU TANG CLAN team or a team called the TIBURON REACHAROUNDS, but can't use words like STONER, OCC, CLAN, etc OR the image upload algorithim will nick an image i created from scratch using the latin word DICTUM, but allow a team called the P-DIDDY DIDDLERS to get uploaded) 

    Biggest issue with TB in Dynasty = the recruiting nonsense in 2025.  Having to replace an existing team is one thing, having my created team from NY having to recruit from Wisconsin is dumb.  The --- thru the TB teams in the top25 on in-game rankings and lack of festooning of the logos in stadium we actually DO get to stick onto the team is dumb.  (Why make me designate a 2nd and 3rd logo if you don't do a damned thing with it?)  I get why we can't do TOO much to native stadiums, but i have no clue why 5 generic outdoor and 3 generic domed stadiums with code that allows for these design elements weren't created.  I know that 2k would NEVER allow this lack of immersion on any sports game they've created in the last 20 years, even on the older consoles... 

    Again, settle in....  TB won't get addressed until the first week of bowl season... I'm counting on it being the same experience as it has been since about January, where TB was kinda operable if you have a good solid computer.  IN GAME, there needs to be heavy improvement on general immersion for TB teams, a system that tells TB creators WHAT is wrong with their team upon upload of the images, and for GOD's SAKE, put a CONFIRM BUTTON on the in-game DELETE TEAM option when viewing created teams on your own profile...  I shouldn't even be able to delete a team that i created on a console i didn't create it on, thanks to EA's convoluted user profile system, this type of fucqery is, IN FACT, an option... 


    .  I'm buying on release, but only because i've invested a bunch of time IN DESIGNING AN ENTIRE CONFERENCE, something we were able to do despite memory and tech limitations years ago... All of the shortcomings on TB are simply due to greed

    deep dive for TB came out yesterday.... here's what i took away...

    -  We have a 5 MB limit, and not an total image limit on our designs.. more slots for people who use lower res- images, perfect for an idiot like me who does custom fields

    -3 generic stadiums and one HS stadium

    -we'll have to RE-SUBMIT all our teams to have the changes take effect... this should be interesting

    - Myschool grades reflect the teams rating

    -it LOOKS like we may be able to edit player names directly on the site

    - dedicated pipelines for each school

    - setting up rivalries is now an option for TB teams

    Yes, I saw it and I am excited about what I heard so far. Now I wonder how many teams can you download unto the game? I need more than 16 teams, but I will take it for what it is worth. The generic stadiums let's go, that had to happen. I wonder when the website is going to launch. I am ready to get started now.
