Charlotte needs way more gold.

Hold up, aren't those visors that they're wearing technically illegal?

Which is slightly unfortunate because dark visors make everyone look a bit more intimidating.

If they aren't in teambuilder then I highly doubt they would be in the game, you can expect some uniforms to present differently in-game (for example Nebraska's jerseys look to be old templates and have no conference logos but in game everything appears to be correct), but don't expect things that are missing to show up in-game.

Now when the uniform packs come out these won't show up in teambuilder but at the moment teambuilder is showing you everything that is on the disc.

More defined padding is the reason for that (deeper ridges than normal), also there is a chance you may just be used to seeing players without pads on their legs (not a popular look nowadays, though they're going to be required in the NFL starting this year).

I need some help with Appalachian State. I know they have worn 2 new uniforms over the past few years, both of which look better aesthetically and are composed of more modern materials.

When I google them I see these 2 unis, some throwbacks they wore back in like '08 and the old Miami design (also worn by Nevada up until last year). Can someone clarify what it is they normally wear on Saturdays?

I imagine if they haven't gotten new uniforms yet that they will have them as a way to celebrate the move to FBS, but I'd like to have their current ones on the list for now anyways. You can see what uniforms I have listed near the bottom of the first post.

Also does anyone know the last time Georgia Southern wore blue pants? and how often they do that, I found a few pics with them wearing those and added a note to the list about this.

the only way they make it into NCAA 15, is if they decide to do what they did with Old Dominion this year, again, and put a team in in its final year as an FCS school. this season will be the their first of 2 years as an FCS school, before then beginning another 2 year process until becoming FBS. so technically speaking, ODU should be in NCAA 15, and Charlotte not until a full FBS member which would be NCAA 17.

You are correct about them not being there next year (I got confused on that), but bank on them getting in like ODU was this year. The only reason Georgia Southern and App State didn't make it was because when they announced their move (it wasn't official until it was too later to add them). EA is trying to avoid the game becoming inaccurate after just one season in Dynasty mode. It would be fantastic if they found a way to make multiple spots open in the game for teambuilder representations of Southern and App State (otherwise you'd have to replace two teams), but this could easily screw up scheduling so I doubt it happened this year.

Charlotte will be in the FBS by 2015, they won't be bowl eligible until 2016. The rule only requires 2 years of post-season ineligibility when you move up, Georgia Southern and App State are foregoing the playoffs this year so they only have to sit out one bowl season, Georgia State did this for 2012 and will not be eligible in 2013. I'm pretty sure you have to do it this way (no playoffs your last year in the FCS and then no bowl your first year in the FBS), but it may be optional, regardless its a 2-season post season ban.

Basically Charlotte has to sit out the post season for 4 seasons, but only 2 of those have to be at the FCS level (because of the rule requiring start-up programs spend their first 2 years at the FCS level).

So the earliest they would be in NCAA (if EA waited until they were actually competing in the FBS) would be NCAA 16, not 17.

I'll update the list to reflect the actual year in which they will be joining the FBS, but I will leave them there because I'm confident EA will put them in like they did with ODU.
