Teambuilder Suggestions

***EDIT - 8/12/2024*** See notes below.

I am enjoying the teambuilder. It is very similar to the previous version, but does allow some added customization options. However, I have a few thoughts that I think would better the experience for everyone.

1. Allow Generic Text to be added as a custom layer. Rather than having to create our own "Logo" of text to put on the chest of jerseys or in the endzone. We should be able to just add text of our team names to those areas without using a logo slot. This would also allow for more customization on uniforms and fields by not using a spot for "words"

2. It appears there is a bug that does not allow logos on the back bumper of helmets. That is a huge part of the college football uniform experience and it would be nice if it could be fixed. 

3. It would be nice to be able to select "Black-out", "White-Out" "Checker" fan games to be mixed into the Teambuilder experience.

4. I haven't looked deep into this yet, but my first Teambuilder came out pretty well in the download, I wasn't completely happy with the final design of the chrome helmets and numbers compared to what it showed online, but it wasn't the worst. However, the colors of the undershirts, gear, shoes, etc. is a little off. I chose Navy and Red team colors from a custom logo, but the fans showed up in teal and pink and the uniform undershirts/sleeves were the teal color. I have gone back and edited to a Preset Color (Arizona) in hopes this will fix that, but haven't gone through the download process again to see if this fixed it.

     Update: The latest patch has corrected much of this issue. My fans are now the correct shade as well as cleats, undershirts, arm bands, etc. Chrome helmets are also much cleaner looking with the newest update.

5. Some selection and control over team mascot and fight song would also be an added bonus to the Teambuilder experience. 

5a. With this, if we could see a choice for a runout animation for the team, I think that would be really awesome. This is probably way too complicated to have in a Teambuilder, but it was a thought for conversation.

6. The ability to edit your programs grades would be an added bonus too. Even if it was just to choose an "Archetype" similar to the roster. Like Academic, Powerhouse, Branded, etc. 

Just wanted to get some thoughts and ideas out there in case EA reads these and takes community opinion as they move along on this process. Thanks for Reading!
