So no way to edit ratings or abilities of the rosters?
Sorry I bought this game. I won’t be fooled again EA. No way to edit ratings or abilities offline!? That’s crap! We need another sports game company.

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
- @FSMpreist21 I hope they fix it. I just want to create players, edit ratings and abilities. I love that the real players are in the game, but I just want to edit ratings and abilities and create players in the console.

I dunno, as far as editing players go, I'd much rather do it via PC... Direct to stat --> type in value --> hit save then export is much more efficient than using a controller to tick down stat by stat to scroll each slider imo... IF one of those values we could edit was PLAYER NAME it'd solve a bunch of complaints... That, and make the teams available as files on my console once I DL them like a normal computer does, would fix every complaint here... I'm willing to make do with only the first one... EA knows that our segment of the game is going to grind and work hard on the immersive experience and gouging us with microtransactions won't work, so bank on that pay wall being there in some way shape or form, albeit one that we'd want anyway ie xbox live

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.
