Re: So no way to edit ratings or abilities of the rosters?

Dude, I've been playing games since the Atari 2600 in the 80s, I own pretty much every NCAA Football game there is. You have to realize the entire reason EA lost NCAA was due to NIL or lack there of and player likeness usage.  They cannot allow us to change ND, OSU, etc. that goes against everything that finally brought the game back to us. If they brought back the old Team Builder it would break the license they now have with the NCAA, we can't have that kind of control over rosters and names anymore.

Also, 10 years is a massive change in technology and "rules". EA has to play by the rules given to them that allowed the game to even be created in this day and age. I'm not 100% happy with everything either, but I understand that somethings had to be sacrificed to allow the game to be made again.

Also, keep in mind Team Builder is still in Beta, it's not done. We may still get things like "play now" mode being allowed to use our edited name rosters. I'm looking forward to seeing what they're going to do with this mode, but I also understand there are checks in place and guidelines they must follow.

My big issue is the lack of create a player, therefore not being able to create recruits in dynasty, and the inability to use team builder in offline dynasty. Most people are fine with not being able to edit the real players ratings (though many aren’t) but jersey numbers need to be editable in dynasty. I’ve seen complaints that players are wearing the same #’s on the field at the same time. 

The lawsuit brought by Ed O’Bannon against the NCAA, not EA, was because they were licensing college athletes NIL without permission or compensation to EA. It had to do with EA putting those players in the game, not users creating random players. 

Some of this is probably just EA’s lawyers being overly cautious but they should have been more transparent about it. 

This change will come, but it'll be a massive change to the code and how the game looks from a menu standpoint, so it's going to be a while...  You CAN edit ratings on TB teams for Generic players on the game in the PROGRAM section of Team builder, then upon importing that team to your dynasty, find that generic player with the massive stats and change their name to Jacques Strap JR the 3rd and swap them to a 1 bar kickers facemask and etc... Slight workaround, but it's def DUMB that i can't edit really ANYTHING in console on a player that only exists on said console... Also, ALL those console edits have to be done with a controller (NCAA 25 NOT compatible with usb keyboard entry) MER

The issue I have with TB is that I can't see the overall ratings of players or see how the changes I made to my team uniforms show up in the game without downloading it again.  Now I keep getting download errors or you've reached max download limit messages everytime I try to "overwrite" my team (yeah this isn't a fresh download, it's just trying to overwrite the former version).  Why is this game so buggy, incomplete and restrictive in areas it doesn't have to be.

I also can't even access the last version of the team in play no to see if by chance my edits uploaded already.  This is a joke.  I've closed the game, restarted my PS5, shutdown my PS5 and tried downloading this a number of times.  I've been at this for nearly an hour and it still won't work.

@jfeev508max DL limit is 15, My workaround for that unfortunately is QUIT THE GAME and then start your DL's again... If you're doing uniform/ team changes with all these downloads, it's def prudent to make all those changes at once and then submit-> DL again...  The overall rating of TEAMS and how they get affected is something i've yet to pay attention to.. I've noticed a bump in overall rating when i'll boost a player in PROGRAM to crazy skill levels, but then my teams overall gets nerfed when the season starts cause the players are all at class or wanting to get laid or something...

But yea, the bugginess really kicks into gear with 16 teams in a custom conference and you can't get rid of Florida Atlantic, or whoever lol... that makes you just submit to the dumb and just try to enjoy what little of the game is working correctly

I ended up speaking to someone at EA help and they said it's a known issue that online dynasties are desyncing when you have a teambuilder team in them.  

On the teambuilder website it shows that I have 16 teams one complete, one that I started working on and 14 others that say draft that were created when I was using an incompatible device.  Crazy thing is, the device was incompatible to load the screens, but not incompatible enough to create those teams in the background.  Now I can't delete any of those "teams" that I don't want.  The game is bugged and the teambuilder site has bugs.

Hey all, 

This is something we've been hearing a lot of feedback on since College Football 25 launched. I just wanted to let you know that we've been passing your thoughts along to the team. 

While I can't guarantee this is something that might be changed in the future, we will definitely let you know if we have any news to share. 

Thanks for taking the time to share your feedback on this. We understand that having the ability to edit ratings for players is something many people have been asking for. We'll continue to share your thoughts on this and other topics with the team.
