This is something I feel needs to be patched in the future. The first problem is EA servers are unreliable and it's nice to have a game to play when internet is out so online dynasty is undesirable for a lot of people including myself. Further I've been reading concerns on OS forums and a lot of guys on there like to control multiple teams in dynasty. The problem is that limiting Teambuilder to online only, a player can't control more than one Teambuilder team in any way in this game.
Which means, you can only control one team in a dynasty with the Team Builder team in it. (Online) or can control multiple teams but NO Team Builders offline? This makes no sense.
It also makes no sense to have the team builder team inherit the rivalries and prestige traits of the school you replace. You want to JOIN and play AGAINST the regional rivals and peers, not replace one. Conferences and scheduling are based on the concept of peers; Similar schools tend to play each other OOC (aka, ND vs Stanford, Navy, Ga Tech, BC, etc).
What you want to build, you'd prefer replacing the opposite. If I want to join the MWC, you're sacrificing a G5 from the southeast, because you won't notice they're gone as you fill your OOC with Pac-12 and Big 12 schools; but then your rivals will be Sun Belt teams instead of San Diego State or Boise St.
Just let us put in our Prestige Rankings and Rivals.
