Team Builder Dynasty Offline
I'm not sure if this will ever be changed at or even looked but it was originally worded that "team builder content can be used in OFFLINE Play Now and private Dynasty modes" with the assumption that...

I wish this would get some attention. I have great internet. I just hate playing online. I especially hate playing online Dynasty. I could not believe they have the disrespect to allow the teambuilder teams in Playnow offline but not in Dynasty. huge slap in the face.

Community ManagerHi all,
We appreciate the feedback on this.
While I don't have the exact details on why it's set up this way, I can understand where you're coming from. Not everyone wants to play Dynasty online all the time. I can see why it would be frustrating not being able to use the Team Builder for your offline Dynasty. We'll continue passing along your feedback on this to the team.
I can't guarantee this is something that will change, but if we do have any updates to share with you in the future we will let you know.
Thanks again for taking the time to share your thoughts with us here.
Thanks for the response. I just don't understand how I could use Teambuilder in offline dynasty 15 years ago, but I can't now. The only answer I can come up with is EA is trying to nickel and dime us into paying for more stuff we don't want.
- @CWO2Ski That’s exactly it, they know how badly people want team builder and they know they’ll get people who just give in and pay for the subscription. The sad part is, they’re already the best selling game of the year, they don’t need to nickel and dime people but they do it anyway. Online gaming and subscriptions have made gaming and most other tech so much worse. Just imagine how much better the games would be if UT wasn’t a thing. There’d be more focus on the actual game to get people to buy. That’s how it was more than 10 years ago.
We all have the nostalgic love for NCAA football because it stopped right as the online, excessive micro transactions era took off. All the other games have stagnated because of it.2014 was a much better game. It had more features and wasn't filled with these endless paywalls.
@EA_Kent I appreciate the response. Just to clarify, for seemingly many people providing feedback here, it's not just that we don't want to play online all of the time, it's that we're being charged $10/month for a subscription in order to use one of the main advertised features of the game and there's nothing (still!!!) in the marketing page that says a subscription is required for Team Builder (just that an Internet connection is required).
If this doesn't change there is a high likelihood that EA will face legal action over it. It's one thing to create paywalls to features that should be in the base game. That's unethical and bad customer service. It's another thing to actively advertise those features without disclosing that they require additional costs to use. That's illegal. The FTC should have eyes on this, tbh.
- @CommodoreHavoc I sure f****** hope they do. Aside from the fact that they advertised it as available offline and somehow it isn't, decade old game was able to do this and it wasn't nearly as broken as this game either. Pathetic
@CommodoreHavoc 100% agree with you.
@EA_Kent you know as well as I do it's set up this way purely for money. This is 100% done to prevent players from downloading their teams and playing dynasty on this single game for years. Making it online only assures players are forced to buy next year's game in order to use their teambuilder teams for dynasty again.
The fact that teambuilder teams can be used in offline play now proves this. It's 100% a shady move by EA just so they can sell more games in the future. Since EA didn't disclose teambuilder teams could only be used in online dynasty, EA should offer full refunds to EVERYBODY who wants them. EA should do the right thing, but, I'm sure they won't. EA just made sure NOBODY is buying this game next year. EA's monopoly on sports games needs too end. Short of a huge class action lawsuit that costs them a ton of money, nothing will change. It's all about $$$$ for EA.
Absolutely it’s all kinds of dumb just like they could infact let you use and replace every team with a team builder team BUT if you did that EA wouldn’t sell another game for years because in reality who’s gonna pay for 26 if nothings fixed ? I’m not giving up 70+ $ for a roster update on guys who will be gone off the game within 3-4 years anyways
14 was hands down a better version than this trash game they had a decade to make this great
then when all the people complained about the defects the major things they did to shut people up was ROSTER EDITING ….wow
the game is still broken and that’s what they decided to do….
coaching carousel is broken
the blocking in the game is bad
the penalties sliders DONT WORK
the auto subs still don’t work
etc……
I don’t know who’s in charge of fixing this stuff but they arent listing to anyone unless your online
I think the offline players are dismissed
- @darthcidious Yep, still no team builder in offline dynasty. EA has become all about UT modes and online play in general. I won’t purchase until this is remedied.
