Team Builder [Error 105]

I spend hours designing the perfect uniforms and editing every player on the roster so I could import the team into Madden (as we were promised) and play with a roster of my school friends from back in the day.

Instead, 80% of the time I submit my team, this error pops up after spinning for 5-10 minutes: [Error 105] - Teambuilder has encountered an error in the teambuilding process. Try Again/Quit?

Do you guys even have a Quality Control department? How do such obvious errors continue from year to year in successive games?  It boggles my mind.

    I just tried one more time. Cleared Cache on Team Builder website. Error 105. Cleared cache on Google Chrome. Error 105. Used a completely different browser. Error 105. Double checked and removed all - marks and made sure there was no punctuation anywhere. Error 105. Before last Friday, I had 10 Team Builder teams that were successfully submitted. My last two since their creation on Friday have failed over a dozen times, trying all the methods you suggest. And I didn't do anything especially different in these last two teams than I did with the first 10. Same process for all 12. So... I don't think this is on my end. Can you please check again? Can you force submit my last two teams from your end? This is really frustrating...

    Unfortunately, Error 105 is not resolved for me as of September 15.

    I followed the troubleshooting instructions in this thread. I deleted the on-device site data for both ea.com and www.ea.com, completely quit Chrome, reopened it, signed back into TeamBuilder, and attempted to submit again. I still received Error 105.

    I then cleared Chrome's Cached Images and Files for All Time, completely quit and restarted Chrome again, signed back in, and attempted another submission. Error 105 still persists.

    I have also previously tested TeamBuilder using Incognito mode and a completely different browser, with the same Error 105 result.

    For additional context, I created 12 Madden 27 TeamBuilder teams using the same account and workflow. Ten of those teams submitted successfully before this problem began. The final two now consistently fail during Compositing Uniforms with Error 105. I even removed some custom uniform assets from one of the affected teams as a test, with no change.

    I made no changes to the team between these most recent submission attempts, so the same team that failed before clearing the cache continues to fail afterward.

    Also, during this same period, the Nike, Adidas, and Under Armour brand-selection options disappeared from TeamBuilder, including when I open teams that had previously submitted successfully.

    Since I have now reproduced Error 105 after clearing EA site data, clearing the full Chrome cache, restarting the browser, using Incognito, and using another browser entirely, could this please be re-escalated to the studio or TeamBuilder team?

    I am happy to provide screenshots or any additional information that would help diagnose it.

    Hey, folks

    The studio team confirmed that this issue was resolved. They had looked into it, made some changes, and tested it.

    If the error persists in a browser, clear the browser cache. If you are in-game and trying to import, the steps you could take would depend on the platform you are on.

    At the moment, though, if you get the error, do not use any special characters or periods. Do not choose teams that have a period. 

    These are the specific things that have been related to that error, but are related to Error 400.

    It's hard to fathom how this 105 error (submissions stuck on Compositing Uniforms) is allowed to continue without any statement from EA at least acknowledging that a fix is being worked on. It's been 5 full days of zero access to submitting Team Builder teams and it's just been crickets from EA. You all are the insiders, so I know YOU know the amount of hours that go into uniforms, stadiums and rosters. And when you do that for multiple teams, you have days worth of hours that have been spent getting things set up for the particular football universe you want to build. To be hit with in the final stage with this same, recurring error, with no communication from EA, and no acknowledgment that you're aware of the situation and actively trying to fix it is beyond frustrating. The same thing is happening currently in CFB 27. I bet many of us who are trying to access these features are MVP+ members. And for what?? Come on, guys. Please, get it together. Figure this out and fix it!
