I may be seeing things but it looks like on that screenshot the coach received XP for having recruited 3 players in the top 10 yet he had zero 5 star commits. Reduced amount of 5 stars or is it over so many years?

I saw that too and took it to mean that it means "signed guys that are in the top 10 for their position."

don't know what we're arguing over, we both agree Teambuilder was a great thing. My only point was how EA loves to add new things and then hardly improve on them.

No I don't agree with that at all teambuilder is still a great thing. and my only point was to get you stop saying that it hasn't seen any updates over and over in this and many other threads. I understand that the updates haven't been to your exact liking, but that doesn't mean they haven't been significant to me and others. they don't make the game for just you to play. And again all developers "love" to do that no feature has been more universally dismissed across all sports titles than create a team. The few games that have it are done poorly and never and I really mean never touched. The changes EA has made to TB comparatively are staggering quite frankly.

Well that's really dissapointing. Kids can't sign until signing day and its huge day in college sports. Kindve like madden if they didnt have the draft. They need a preseason recruiting session that's when half the class verbally commits anyway

They can still commit before signing day, it has just been made more important

Yeah that's how it normally works with signing day the day commits sign and also decommit. Signing day won't be relevant in this game until real life recruiting aspects are in it.

Give it a rest, I said Teambuilder was a great thing with was meaning when they first introduced it that it was a innovative feature. I don't mean it no longer is good. I have never once said Teambuilder is no good. Not once. And there hasn't been significant upgrades. Stop saying that. All the things you mentioned were little fixes. Go start a poll and ask if Teambuilder has seen much of an upgrade since it was introduced and the majority of people would tell you no. The fact that they don't even talk about Teambuilder or updates they make shows you it's become an afterthought to them at this point. The Teambuilder site has hardly changed since it's inception. So I will continue to say they've hardly touched it because it's true. Allowing Teambuilder schools custom stadium sounds or team color equipment is not something new to the Teambuilder site. There have been few changes made to that site.

Page 1, nothing new
Page 2, allow you to remove the background right on the site
Page 3, added the high school stadiums they put in the game
Page 4, added the high school fields they put in the game
Page 5, added a text box/logo on chest and update real college uniforms
Page 6, added a couple mascots
Page 7, nothing new
Page 8, nothing new

from a thread in the Teambuilder subforum where someone asks if there has been any changes from 10-13 this was a response...

The biggest difference between teambuilder through the years are the updates to the real stadiums and uniforms as well as adding in more mascots. Other than that, there have been really 2 upgrades to the creation side.

-2011: Introduced spots for logos on the upper chest area of jersey as well as Chest Text

-2013: New HS stadium varieties

Here's a thread YOU started...

So we don't have a teambuilder impressions thread this year, but despite their being no changes or upgrades to the site itself I felt it was important to note that not everything is actually the same in teambuilder land this year. Here's a couple of things I've found after playing all day with teambuilder schools:

-HS stadiums: there are specific sections or signs in certain HS stadiums that will reflect your teams colors. So far I've seen in the Southeast Large stadium the awning reflecting both my teams primary and secondary colors. Also, in the Northeast Large the scoreboard as well as all the signs hanging around the stadium will be in your colors so it's important to have a different primary and secondary for any team you have playing there other wise the signs hanging just look like bed sheets left out to dry

-Updates and bottom line: TB squads are fully compatible as I've seen them in both. If a TB team is listed for an upcoming game their logo is also present.

-White Helmets: The problem with white helmets being too dark in night games is gone.

-Team color accessories: Once in dynasty you can now assign your players primary team color everything including vapor and superbad gloves

On the negative side one bug that's already been spotted is helmet numbers not showing up again, but since this has been a patchable fix before I think it should be again. Also, I haven't played far enough to see if the rivalry glitch still exists so I'm not sure about that, however it feels like they've put a ton of time into recruiting so I suspect that was fixed as well.

So even though we didn't get any new options on the site we still got a few nice upgrades and even if some of them are just fixes everything I listed already has me much more pumped to play with my teams compared to last year.

You are saying exactly what i'm saying. I'm talking about how the Teambuilder site has hardly gotten touched, you say yourself we didn't get any new options on the site. Things like TB teams being in the ticker, getting custom stadium sounds and team color accessories have nothing to do with the site and I consider them as fixes because those things should have been there for TB teams from the get go when those features were introduced but they either didn't care to do it or didn't know how to do it.

My impression of Teambuilder 13 is exactly identical to my impression of Teambuilder 12...and 11.

Ya I'm pretty disappointed that they likely didnt do anything with it and really havent since the '10...however text on the front of jerseys was HUGE!!!

I get the feeling and I have the hope that they see and hear our cries, and next year will have a huge TB upgrade.

Now we just gotta get Madden to add it.

Obviously nothing big is being done this year to TB, but from all the Q&A's and interview's, people want to see a change and more improvements made, almost at the same level as gameplay, it should be one of the top things on their list next year. Again I'm not defending them, I've just come to terms with it.

It is evident that the NCAA team feels full customization is the big deal, see things like Custom Playbooks and Custom Conferences being added to the game. It is likely these features will be even further expanded in the future. With that sort of direction, it makes little sense why Teambuilder, as one of the most useful and integral parts of that full customization experience, has seen almost zero attention since it was originally released back in '09.

Regardless of any excuses one wishes to make on behalf of the developers, it is simply a shame why even minor fixes or additions haven't been completed, and it further frustrates the gamer when they, the developers, won't even discuss why or why not. At this point all I would like to hear is simply whether they plan to work on it within the next dev. cycle.

Some of those go back to 2011 and since then we just got some more high school stadiums.

I'm not going back & forth with you on this anymore because i'm not wrong that there have been very few changes to the Teambuilder site since it's inception.

Re: NCAA Football 14 Trailer - Dynasty Mode, 52 Screenshots Added

an update to the feature is an update to the feature just because you want to separate the two in order to further an argument doesn't it make so. and this isn't a back and forth at all because my only point again was moving you off of your original stance that teambuilder has seen zero updates which I've clearly done as even your willing to admit now that it's had a few and thanks for finding my old thread that once again proves that point.

And the much larger point remains that even just those few updates are way more than other games get in this department so again when looking at the immediate improvements this series needs an overhaul to teambuilder or even significant improvements to it is far down the list in my opinion and that comes from someone who wouldn't even own the game if teambuilder didn't exist.

Re: NCAA Football 14 Trailer - Dynasty Mode

You're getting mad at the guy for saying his only problem with the game is that there aren't any new cleats...that is supposed to be a good thing.

Without reading previous posts, I think the problem is that someone thinks the only problem in the game is that there aren't new cleats.

If that's supposed to be in the sense that the guy is being naive then I change my stance on this argument lol

[LionsFanNJ]

Ah. So i mention i like what I'm hearing so far and now I'm naive. Sweet. I hate you ****ing one time only posters that disappear once the game is released to only come back next year during pre release to vent again. Miss me with that. Search through the forum and youll see i have many issues with NCAA but SURPRISE! They're doing things to make the game better. Please continue to tell me I'm naive though because i don't fall into your precious hate crew.

Re: NCAA Football 14 Trailer - Dynasty Mode, 52 Screenshots Added

Not sure I like the "point" system of recruiting. The phone call system was okay only because it attempted to reflect reality. The point system is a dumbed down version for recruiting, however, that seems to be the way video games, in general, are moving so I'm not really surprised.
