Was Teambuilder even advertised as being in a beta prior to launch?

Okay I don't know if I'm going crazy (probably the case) or not, but I don't remember reading anything mentioning Teambuilder being only in beta prior to launch. I remember there being some rumors about it not releasing on 7/19 but then it did, and then when I logged in on 7/20 suddenly the word "beta" was next to the logo. Heck, if you look at the Teambuilder page previews on the site, none of the gifs have that Beta tag at the top left and there's also no mention of a beta. Like look, I understand that this is a brand new feature and there is bound to be some issues, but you couldn't let us know its still a work in progress before launch?? C'mon man

  • Nope it was not, and the Beta was not on there at first release. EA knew how big of a draw Team Build is to this game.  So to say hey its not dropping or its not even a functional Beta would have killed sales.

  • This was a classic EA bait and switch. They knew people would riot if there was zero customization in the game, which they ultimately want so they can force you to buy roster updates every year. So they threw in a half assed team builder that doesn't even work for the limited ways that it is supposed to work. Pulling a team builder team into dynasty is pointless because they just flip all your player archetypes and * all their traits and ratings.

    @Vulkeg If things don't improve, I'll never purchase another EA game. All I've ever cared about in college football is creating my own teams and players to play in an offline dynasty and maybe do an online dynasty with a few friends. I can't create any schools because the teambuilder site sucks and we can't create players to recruit, which I always had a blast doing, and the servers are so out of whack that being able to play an online dynasty with my friends is pretty hit and miss.

    What the hell did I pay for?

    I'm totally with you. Customization is the only reason I play these games. I couldn't care less about the actual NCAA rosters 

  • @SubGod22 I have a group of buddies who are waiting for me to load up all the teams I created for us. They do not understand what the delay is and I don't know wtf to tell them other than EA Sports is trash. Their previous system for team creation was superior. 2K customization has been doing this for years and MLB lets you build entire ball parks. EA should be ashamed of themselves and we should hold them accountable. Won't buy another EA game until it is fixed.

    Don't forget that all Teambuilder teams are placed in Alabama! Nothing like a Big East dynasty where I input Villanova but have them getting F grades for Proximity to Home because Villanova is in the deep south apparently!

    @SubGod22 Exact reason why I haven’t purchased the game yet. Literally, since the game was released it feels like every day new limitations are revealed. I hate online games because they’re full of bugs and constantly glitch and crash. I haven’t purchased an EA game since 2020, and look like that will unfortunately continue unless these issues are corrected.

    This piece of crap feature is definitely a step below beta, betas work way better than this. Waste of money on this. All my teams I created now appear blank with zero previews, no uniforms, no rosters, nothing. Hours of creation down the drain. * YOU EA.
