What are the best stadiums you have found to use for team builder, specifically ones where the original branding is almost non existent

Louisiana Tech looks decent.

Re: Best Stadiums

Looking through stadiums now but so far Cincinnati and UNLV are pretty good as far as no branding.

Re: Best Stadiums

This just seems crazy to me. Surely they’ll add general stadiums to be used.

I can’t see the point of creating teams and then your stadium has other teams signs and colors.

The Alamodome may be good… need to jump in a game and see

Re: Best Stadiums

I created my alma mater (Georgetown College, an NAIA school in Kentucky) and found Sam Houston State's stadium to be a pretty good stand-in. It's tiny and doesn't have a lot of visible branding (I just noticed the name of the stadium on the scoreboard), so it's a good one to use if you're trying to replicate a small college stadium.

Yeah I was at least expecting like the generic limited choices similar to what Madden had but more college-ish.

Anyway, I'm interested in the best ones as well. Looking for a classic bowl shape with a large capacity (~80k or higher).

Re: Best Stadiums

UCLA isn't too, too bad. A few smaller UCLA brandings - the pads on the goalposts is the most egregious IMO. But a decent larger bowl option.

Count me in the 'shocked' crowd that they didn't provide at least two generic options like they have in the past. I'm missing the old bowl stadium - it did the job.

No entrance is also kinda crazy. Start it a little later, like when the team is already on the field using a generic animation. I genuinely thought the entrances would be a few generic options to choose from, or something that was tied to the stadium you chose.

Kinda shocked there's no endzone text option, and the secondary logo on the field option is a weird one also... like why not have a logo upload there? Strange.

Re: Best Stadiums

whats strange is that the one team stadium that was generic(Hawai'i) doesn't look like is in the list on teambuilder.

Re: Best Stadiums

Wait a second. So we can only use existing stadiums but we can edit how the field looks only to leave all original team branding in the stadium? Goal post pads are going to keep OG team colors and such?

This makes absolutely no sense. Why can't we build our own stadiums?

I thought Miami of Ohio would be a great stadium to use but the goal post pads are red and I'm sure have wording or logos.

Yeah it's boneheaded. They put all their effort into making a wonderful jersey/pants/logo suite but forgot about unique helmet designs like Michigan and actual stadiums to play in. Couldn't they at least go through each stadium and scrub out all the team-specific stuff with just a solid color that matches the background? For example Marshall's press box is white with green letters that says "Marshall University." Just take some editing software and white out the text so it's just a plain surface.

Re: Best Stadiums

Umass isn't too bad if you have a small school.

I agree that this was a bonehead move on EA's part and it's such a simple fix!
6 Generics is all that are needed, IMO

Domed(edit out Syracuse imaging in carrier dome-simple)
Bowl Stadium like the Rose Bowl
Small School stadium like UMASS
Standard Kinnick Stadium in Iowa City
Large Southern Stadium like Williams-Brice
Big House like Michigan

Re: Best Stadiums

I don't see why they didn't allow the Neutral Site stadiums either. It shouldn't take any effort to just add the rest of the in game stadium. Let us use NFL stadiums and neutral site stadiums.

I'd add a high school / small college stadium with a school bus and academic building in the background, and a small dome like the Kibbie Dome in Idaho or the Fargo Dome for North Dakota State.

Re: Best Stadiums

Duke seems to be pretty good as well.
