That's what bothers me, as well. Why didn't EA tell us this when the TB site went live so that those of us it affects wouldn't have wasted our time creating teams?

I've already created 10 teams and was looking forward to doing my own conference and such, but won't because of XBL and the adapter. I don't even feel like paying $30 bucks for a 50 ft ethernet cable and $20 for a 3-month gold card...seriously lame. I know I'm in the minority here, but I'm not even complaining about rosters or bugs or anything like that. Please don't make the ASSumption that everyone has a constant wireless internet connection next year and has a gold account, EA. You talk about making the gameplay easy for noob's...well make this part easy for the people who don't have the internet at their fingertips 24/7. EDIT: Perfect scenario. Hook up the Xbox via ethernet cable 1 time and download all teams with all logos and done. Be able to do this with a silver account. Doesn't sound hard and it's all free.

Less than a week ago I bought an XBL Gold 12 Month Subcription card for $50.

You don't need Xbox Gold for Teambuilder. I have two XBL accounts, one gold, one silver (for Tb testing) and both can access Teambuilder.

Thanks for the answer! I was worried.

Well, my guess would be they probably never thought to. Don't you need to be online to create the team in the first place?

I guess they figured if you were online to create the team, you'd be able to have a connection for your logos.

Not saying it's right, wrong, anything...just tossing out a potential reason it wasn't made a big deal of.

If that's what they thought, then they weren't "thinking" at all. It's 2 different things altogether; we create Teambuilder on the PC, we play on the Xbox 360. It's a hassle to go to the trouble of disconnecting my PC internet, and taking my long ethernet cable to my xbox 360 every time I want to play.
