Thanks for the pics Steve.

I chose the same jersey pattern so it's cool to see what it would look like. The numbers definitely need some sort of trim!

Re: NCAA Football 10: TeamBuilder Has 100,000 User-Created Teams (Team OS Screenshots
 

I picked those jerseys too =)
Nice to see them like that

Nice pictures! The jerseys look grea!

Nice pictures! The jerseys look great!

It's a cool feature for sure.

Shame the actual game is so sorry.

Re: NCAA Football 10: TeamBuilder Has 100,000 User-Created Teams (Team OS Screenshots
 

Maybe if we knew this.

You've played the demo, you say?

Just to remind everyone, the demo isn't the final build.

Yes, the game isn't perfect. But it will be better than we think.

Not picking you out, just issuing a friendly reminder.

cool team and unis
are those teams early on gona be ok?

Re: NCAA Football 10: TeamBuilder Has 100,000 User-Created Teams (Team OS Screenshots
 

I have about twenty teams created, but that doesn't mean I'm going to buy the game. I've just had a lot of fun with it.

Eh, maybe the retail game will be slightly better, but it's still going to be the same arcade-style football game that it was in the demo.

Until the animations and physics get a serious overhaul, the game is still going to be a bunch of robots ice skating around with no momentum throwing laser passes left and right.

Don't even get me started on the line play.

Re: NCAA Football 10: TeamBuilder Has 100,000 User-Created Teams (Team OS Screenshots
 

Looks pretty awesome, Can't wait.

Re: NCAA Football 10: TeamBuilder Has 100,000 User-Created Teams (Team OS Screenshots
 

Thanks Steve, any chance you could download some of our teams and post screens?

Re: NCAA Football 10: TeamBuilder Has 100,000 User-Created Teams (Team OS Screenshots
 

Yeah, they could use a outline badly.

Re: NCAA Football 10: TeamBuilder Has 100,000 User-Created Teams (Team OS Screenshots
 

The numbers seem very low to me. They say over 100,000 created teams, not over 100,000 people have created teams. You are looking at under 10% of the people who purchase this game using Team Builder. Was that enough to warrant this Feature? I am glad you people got something you wanted. However, why didn't EA work on something that would effect 100% of the people purchasing this game?

Re: NCAA Football 10: TeamBuilder Has 100,000 User-Created Teams (Team OS Screenshots
 

The point is that the game isn't even out yet and already all these people have made teams. Of course the number is only going to grow after the games release. Think about it it's pretty much only the hardcore community that even knows about teambuilder at this point. The casual audience isn't going to know about it until they load the game in and see it on the menu.

Re: NCAA Football 10: TeamBuilder Has 100,000 User-Created Teams (Team OS Screenshots
 

The numbers aren't going to increase much at all after release. These numbers are really low. Team Builder is basically a hard core feature, especially the way it is set up. The Casual Gamer isn't going to care much about this feature. Having to go to the PC to create, transfer teams, blah blah blah. Just to much work for the casual gamer. Same thing for me... just to much work for me to have any interest. If it were on the game disc or included as an extra disc with the game I might play with it for a couple of hours. I just don't see the casual gamer wanting to spend time with team builder. Casual gamers pick up a game, play for a couple of weeks and trade the game in.

The 100,000 teams is very deceiving. I would expect a new feature that was REALLY wanted would garner much more attention than what it has received. Especially with the feature being free, new to NG, and being able to create countless numbers of teams. 100,000 is a large number, but it is only a small portion of the NCAA community. Glad you got it, but it is a wasted feature until game play is fixed.

Re: NCAA Football 10: TeamBuilder Has 100,000 User-Created Teams (Team OS Screenshots
 

We are estimating 750,000 teams will be created. We are well ahead of where we thought we would be.

Re: NCAA Football 10: TeamBuilder Has 100,000 User-Created Teams (Team OS Screenshots
 

Exactly. We are very encouraged by the amount of teams that have been created!

Re: NCAA Football 10: TeamBuilder Has 100,000 User-Created Teams (Team OS Screenshots
 

It's barely any work at all, you'd know this if you tried it. then it wouldn't be any where near as good as it is and you wouldn't be able to make authentic looking teams so it'd basically be a huge waste of time.I disagree, but obviously time will tell

Adam, any chance you could tell us how many users have made at least one team?

Re: NCAA Football 10: TeamBuilder Has 100,000 User-Created Teams (Team OS Screenshots
 

But 750,000 is a relatively low number when you start looking at percentages. I am a businessman and I look at it like this. People using Team Builder are going to make at least 5 different teams. Lets limit this and say they make 3 each. With your number of 750,000 created teams, this is a relatively small percentage of people using this feature. This gives you 250,000 people using the Team Builder. If you only sell 1 million copies, you have only targeted 25% of your audience. Being the businessman I am, I want to satisfy as close to 100% as I can. This is especially so when you have people abandoning this game in record numbers this year.

750,000 created teams sounds like a lot, which it is a huge number, but when you talk of people actually using the program those numbers are low.

Re: NCAA Football 10: TeamBuilder Has 100,000 User-Created Teams (Team OS Screenshots
 

hcopenhagenh, here's a NCAA Strategies poll you may want to keep an eye on. http://www.ncaastrategies.com/utopia...ad.php?t=67947

Re: NCAA Football 10: TeamBuilder Has 100,000 User-Created Teams (Team OS Screenshots
 

LOL... Why? This poll is skewed.

Adaptive AI --- It is horrible in the demo so why would anyone look forward to it.

Art, Wind Socks, etc. Who cares about this stuff anyway?

Custom Conferences---- Again who really cares?

Defensive Keys--- I don't even understand this option.

Game Planning--- One of the dumbest features EA ever put into a game.

Improve Pursuit Angle--- Small item that should have been in the game in 2008

Improved OL/DL--- The demo shows it is still broken

Improved WR/DB Interaction--- It is still broken

Layered Blending--- This is really an option?

Player Lock--- Another wasted option.

Road to Glory--- Another dumb addition to this game even from the Race to the Heisman days. Also a feature that has been in the game for several years.

Season Showdown--- Yeah... another great feature.

Just a skewed poll. Heck I wouldn't even vote because nothing there interests me at all.

To let you know... I am glad you have this feature. But, there are a bunch of things that needed to be fixed before this feature was introduced. Same thing goes with OD from last year. This is the entire point I am trying to make. NCAA doesn't play like a football game. OL/DL blocking and interaction is horrendous. These things are huge because college football is built on schemes and there is no scheme in NCAA. It is just straight head on blocking. The entire engine needs to be rebuilt for this series. There are just a bunch of other things needed for this game to play and replicate football that it doesn't have now. All I am saying is fix features that effect close to 100% of the people. EA as it is now has turned a bunch of people off. I am predicting a decline in sales this year and EA will rub them off as a bad economy. I will attribute it to a bad game.

Re: NCAA Football 10: TeamBuilder Has 100,000 User-Created Teams (Team OS Screenshots
 

but again your missing something here. How about the number of people that will download a team someone else created. Even though these people aren't going in and making teams themselves they are still in fact using the feature.

Re: NCAA Football 10: TeamBuilder Has 100,000 User-Created Teams (Team OS Screenshots
 

Hey Steve, is it possible to maybe get a few screen shots of the logos on the field? This has been my biggest concern. I'm afraid the logos on the field may look jagged or off a bit.. :)

Re: NCAA Football 10: TeamBuilder Has 100,000 User-Created Teams (Team OS Screenshots
 

:caflag:Congrats on your success thus far. HOWEVER, you have 100,000 + teams but the better question is how many creators do you have? I have been having fun designing uniforms and have like 18 teams (I probably won't use them because I like realism but it's fun... kind of like an A.D. director). Probably everyone on these forums account for 1,000's of teams?????

Re: NCAA Football 10: TeamBuilder Has 100,000 User-Created Teams (Team OS Screenshots
 

The problem here is it is impossible to satisfy 100% of your audience. The OS community alone wanted a million different things, it just so happens the ones who didn't get what they wanted are currently banging the drum the loudest.

The other issue you're assuming is that all these teams were created by gamers who already purchase the game and there is no way of knowing that. You see it as 25% of the current audience when it could be a 25% increase. This will be the first next gen version of NCAA I've ever purchased, due in large part to Teambuilder, I'm pretty sure I'm not the only one.

Only time will tell but as of right now it's just numbers that can be interpreted many ways.

Re: NCAA Football 10: TeamBuilder Has 100,000 User-Created Teams (Team OS Screenshots
 

And we're done talking. Wow i'm really not trying to insult you, but i don't even know why you're here. It's kind of beyond my comprehension how you can not understand some of these features. Also how on earth can the poll be skewed? that's the most ridiculous thing i've ever heard they laid out every new addition to this year's game and said which one are you the most excited for. I'm dumbfounded right now, nice talking to you take care.

Re: NCAA Football 10: TeamBuilder Has 100,000 User-Created Teams (Team OS Screenshots
 

No offense, but you just don't get it. :brickwall

And why would anyone else use another persons created team? That seems stupid to me.

Re: NCAA Football 10: TeamBuilder Has 100,000 User-Created Teams (Team OS Screenshots
 

Team Builder is not a new feature. OL/DL interaction is not a feature. DB/WR interaction is not a new feature. Art is not a feature. Road to Glory isn't a new feature only a new name. Improved pursuit angles is not a feature. Defensive keys is not a new feature.

There needed to be a feature up there that stated "None of the above."

This poll only represents option for people that will be purchasing this game. If people aren't purchasing this game they aren't going to vote. There are a lot of people at NCAA Strategies that aren't purchasing this game. There fore this poll is skewed.

Re: NCAA Football 10: TeamBuilder Has 100,000 User-Created Teams (Team OS Screenshots
 

many people are making FCS teams, you don't understand why someone who is a FCS fan and doesn't want to go through the process of making the team themselves would simply download someone else's work? you are the clearly the one not getting it.

Re: NCAA Football 10: TeamBuilder Has 100,000 User-Created Teams (Team OS Screenshots
 

I understand that. FCS makes sense. However, FCS teams SHOULD be included on the game. Heck, even if there would need to be two discs, these should be on the game.

Re: NCAA Football 10: TeamBuilder Has 100,000 User-Created Teams (Team OS Screenshots
 

WOW you don't need that option. If you're not buying or not looking forward to any of these than you don't vote. it doesn't make it a skewed poll at all. and whoever said those things were new? they're simply asking which things people are looking forward playing with the most.

Re: NCAA Football 10: TeamBuilder Has 100,000 User-Created Teams (Team OS Screenshots
 

You said that they were NEW. Go read your posts.

People not purchasing this game need to be included. Otherwise, according to the stats classes I have taken, will skew the polls. The target audience of that poll is only a minor sample and a skewed sample at that. If you don't understand that, you need to take a college stats course.

There are also being created D-II teams and D-III teams like Mount Union, and even (gasp) NAIA teams that someone who loves College Football might have attended. All of those + 1-A and 1-AA just would not fit in the game. Want Furman, download Billytwoshakes000's version. But, whatever. Haters will hate. That's what they do. To each his own.

If people aren't planning to purchase a game, why are they wasting there time voting in a poll asking what features they are most looking for. Instead of looking to click on the "none of the above" option, why wouldn't they, I don't know, look for a forum where they can talk about something they are actually interested in?

Re: NCAA Football 10: TeamBuilder Has 100,000 User-Created Teams (Team OS Screenshots
 

That makes too much sense, it'll never go over. Why do that when you can post in every other thread, complaining about how much the game you aren't going buy, sucks.

Re: NCAA Football 10: TeamBuilder Has 100,000 User-Created Teams (Team OS Screenshots
 

I said new additions and what that means is anything that's either a new feature or something that was updated in some way. and the fact that you don't even understand what some of the options are really says alot about where your knowledge is. Also you still just don't understand the point of the poll. I only posted it to show you that a good chunk of hardcore fans are looking forward to Teambuilder above anything else right now. The intention is to be a minor sample it's not a presidential poll and Ziza says it best.

Re: NCAA Football 10: TeamBuilder Has 100,000 User-Created Teams (Team OS Screenshots
 

Hmmm...I can't remember ever playing an NCAA game in which I could create teams on the Web using logo images to create accurate representations of their uniforms...must have missed that year - even though I have owned every NCAA game since 99 on PSOne and a few other EA college football games dating back to Bill Walsh on Sega Genesis.

Re: NCAA Football 10: TeamBuilder Has 100,000 User-Created Teams (Team OS Screenshots
 

Pretty sure TB is a new feature and I love it. It's not perfect but to be able to customize so many things is incredible. The website is very user friendly and let's you do so much.

Yes I want more things but I'm not the type of person to demand 100% satisfaction from a video game.

I'll get my $64 worth, just pre-ordered at gamestop today.
