    Official Teambuilder Impressions Thread

    I thought I would start this up to see how people are liking their teams after getting them transferred in game. I don't want this to turn into yet another "I can't get my web team on my 360/teambuilder sucks!" thread. My point of this thread is how people are liking it after they get their teams put in.

    I'll start...I think, so far, it is pretty cool. The teams that I have made seem to transfer over very well. I like the way the fields look, the logos are very crisp and clear. Actually, I think the logos actually transfer more clear to the uniforms than they look on the internet.

    What I don't really like is that it seems like some of the colors turn out to be darker looking on the game than I had intended them to be. Some of my colors intended to be a light tan, have turned out to look darker than that. It's not a problem, per se, but just something that will have to be played with until it looks right. Maybe once the lighting in the game hits it, it looks different than the internet.

    I also don't like that you can't edit your teams without being in dynasty mode. It would be really great to get the meat and potatoes done on the internet as far as the roster goes, and then be able to go ahead and edit positions and gear and such on the game. Would also be nice to add stadium sounds without having to set them to "all teams". These are all things that can hopefully be addressed for next year.

    As far as I'm concerned, it is a very good effort for this mode this year, and hopefully It can continue to grow and get better from here.

    I think we just need a textbox for the front of the jerseys, eagle wings + tiger stripes + viking horns for the helmets, ability to choose rivals.and more endzone options then we'd be flawless. I love the feature just a few more additions and we're there.

      Pros:
      1. The teams look superb in the game.
      2. Even when searching for schools, uniforms can be previewed

      Cons:
      1. Must be signed into XBL for custom logos to be verified each xbox session
      3, Teams can't be edited console-side
      3. Neutral stadiums (bowls, etc.) - stadium is half-filled with visiting fans
      4. Can't choose generic fight songs or use custom sounds for teambuilder teams

        some helmet and jersey stripes come out slimmer and not well defined like on team builder. The uniforms tend to appear more gothic / slightly darker , in game.

          I hate that if you choose no name on back ,it comes out / you can still see definition of the players name on his back.

              Not sure if it's a licensing issue but I recreated my Independence High Patriots and I the uni is dead on, I just can't put the nike swoosh logo on the upper left chest plate.

                  I think TeamBuilder was a really cool feature, but they had to make it so difficult. For some reason I can't even change my freaking persona and Im sick of trying. Does anyone have the same problem??

                    Yeah. Same here. Plus everytime I search under my web persona they say no matches found (Specific ID search). I had to find my teams by their school/nicknames.

                      Haven't had any problems with my teams until now. For some reason a couple of teams going against each other are showing up with one displaying the ea logo and the other displaying the other teams logo on the helmets. Huh???!!!! And other teams just showing the ea logo. And yes, I am currently online and connected to the ea servers. This is annoying. On teambuilder they look fine. Some teams on the game are okay, some are jacked up. Even logos that are on the disc already like dartmouth's are showing up as the EA logo.

                        Weird...it just seems to be a Play Now issue. I started a bs dynasty to see what would happen and while everything is still Carrie Fisher in Play Now (ie screwed up) in dynasty it all looks fine. So far at least.

                          I've heard of that happening only in play now, but the TB teams in Dynasty have looked great..

                            Haven't had a chance to upload my created teams yet (have a 3 week old baby in the house who makes playing time rare)...do you have to be connected on-line to play with your teambuilder team? I thought I read that somewhere in a review and it seemed odd.

                              In order to display custom logo, you have to be connected when you load your team.
                              If you are not connected, the team will load, but a big ugly EA logo will replace all your custom logos.
