Team Builder MySchool Grades for Facilities and Stadium Atmosphere are BROKEN

Question

I am not sure if this is limited to just this grade template, but I believe the MySchool grades for the "Untapped Potential" template are fundamentally broken for online dynasties.

I created a Team Builder school using the Untapped Potential template. According to the website, this is supposed to grant a Stadium Atmosphere grade of A, and an Athletic Facility grade of A+.

Screenshot #2: When I load into the new dynasty, everything is correct. Stadium=A, Ath Fac=A+.

Then you start advancing, and the problems begin.

Screenshot #3: This is the transfer portal week 1, year 1. My Stadium grade is now D+ (90k fan UCLA stadium), and Ath Fac grade is now C+.

This issue persists no matter how many years you advance, or how many games you win. I did multiple other tests where I did force wins for 2-3 seasons and the same thing happens. Stadium never improved over D+, and the highest the Athletic facilities got was B- as a 5* prestige school with multiple championships.

Another test league. This is taken before Years 2 and 3, winning two national championships in the process.Another test league, Week 1, Year 2030. 99 ovr team 5* prestige, B- Ath Fac; D+ Stadium Atmosphere

THIS IS A PERVASIVE PROBLEM FOR THE COMMUNITY: Doing some sleuthing online, it appears that I am not the only person with this problem. Here are some examples of other Online Dynasty Team Builder users experiencing the EXACT SAME GLITCH.

This is a huge, Dynasty-breaking issue for those that compete in 32-man online dynasties with Team Builders. I've seen very little exposure of this issue amongst the Dynasty community and want to be sure it is written somewhere so that it can be known and addressed. I fear, though, that this is something that won't get addressed until CFB27 (if at all...).

I've now confirmed that this bug persists on Smart School and Party School, as well.

For example, here is what happens on a Party School template:

Preseason, stock templates begin correct.After Week 1, Stadium Atmosphere drops to C+Transfer Portal Week 1 after Season 1: Athletic Facilities now drops to C+ as well

Smart school is even worse:

Smart School, Preseason. Everything is correct.Transfer Portal Week 1. Stadium drops to D+ after Week 1 of the regular season (like the other templates), and Athletic Facilities drops to F (!) at the transfer portal stage.

Any sort of response from EA would be cool.

I think this kind of confirms they need to rebalance the factors that determine the grade. Feels like the historic winning percentage is way too heavily weighted, and you can't change it quickly.

Current win streak, current home attendance percentage, and current prestige should have a big weight. A mid-size school (50K stadium) on a dominant run, making the playoffs consistently, and selling out the stadium every game should be able to get to a "B" atmosphere rating in my opinion, but right now that's impossible.

Agreed.&nbsp; It's broken in the normal sense and not easy to upgrade.&nbsp; Last year, it was possible to get a team with a mid-sized stadium into the Top 10.&nbsp; No chance this year.&nbsp;And the problem is made even worse for TeamBuilders now, because the grades start at one spot and then drop down, reducing the viability of the fixed template system EA has forced us to use.&nbsp;&nbsp;And there's simply no explanation as to why Athletic Facilities would bomb the way they do.&nbsp;&nbsp;

This also affects actual schools too, not just teambuilder. Hopefully EA acknowledges this&nbsp;

Yeah, athletic facilities also is odd. I haven't done a teambuilder dynasty, but have also experienced a big grade drop (B to a C+ I think?) after the first season of a normal dynasty, despite&nbsp;increasing team prestige from 2.5 to 3.5 stars after a 10-win season.
