I get it, but was just offering a way to play rival teams. To each their own. Honestly I could care less whether middle ten state (or the likes everyone has their own teams they prob could care less about) is in the game or not, so replacing them with a FCS team that I might enjoy playing against or as, is fine with me.

Personally I find it fun to create my own schools from cities without colleges, making up logos, and uniforms, not to mention I can create actual schools that do exist and import them into the game.

This is an opinion thread, I am fine that you feel the way you do, I just dont feel that way. Its not that I dont "get it", its just I feel differently then you.

FCS for me. I'd be content with teambuilder if it were vastly improved. These improvements could include:

• the ability to upload more than two logos (I'd be happy with just 3)
• better endzones (preferably a way to make custom endzones)
• more uniform options (more numbers, sleeves, ability to add lettering on chest)
• choice of uniform "brands"
• ability to edit existing uniforms
• choice between gloss and metallic paint for helmets
• a preview of your team's overall, offense, defense, and ST letter grade ratings
• some way to choose/regulate accessories
• ability to load more teams into dynasty
• custom conference logo
• etc, etc, etc.

Your exact words were "to add more conferences" that equals fictional. If the conference exists in FCS adding it to FBS makes it fictional. So you wanting to add fake real teams is no different than me wanting to add fake kiddie teams.

It is not a problem for everyone, though many people have mentioned it in other threads. Some of my teambuilder teams have had the problem and others have not.

Ok I will break it down just for you! I want them to allow us to use TB to make and add a limited number of teams and conferences. That will act as its on division. So I can have FCS schools and conferences in a dynasty. If at the least I want them to create a in dynasty pool of team I can sub for the FCS school all the FBS schools schedule.

Then you would run into the issue of them not having enough slots for people. I'm not sure the exact number of FCS schools but I'm assuming it's a pretty large number.

All those resources for one or two games a year versus a team you are going to beat?

I see how EA can't justify the allocation of the resources for that. I understand you want it but can't even you realize this point?

I don't think any rational person would want to do that. What they implemented was about as reasonable as it gets. They just need to work out the bugs in TB and improve upon it.

By far I choose teambuilder, I'm much more into customizing my own team and having that privilege than having teams that I know I will not be using at all in the game.

Point blank if TB cant give me an accurate schedule then its useless to me. I dont take any enjoyment in subing in a FCS or
High school or made up school into the FBS season. Its "Kiddie" because your possing a fantasy idea that cant happen.(outside of a FCS school getting bump up)

If your into that style of "fantasy" type football TB is great. If you want an accurate schedule (which IMO far supercede adding non-FBS schools) then TB is a complete waste of resources!
