Playmakers CFB 25 Alumni Rosters Reboot (Coming Soon)

[Playmakers]

We are finally back fellas

The biggest news I heard is that now we can edit names, height and weight in this game.

Obviously without the ability to edit jersey numbers as of now it'll be a little tricky but I think we can still get creative.

Ratings are apparently locked which means I'll have to come up with a formula to assign the players based on EA's ratings that best fit a former Alumni.

For example if I'm creating a power back I'll simply find a power RB on the roster for Notre Dame and make sure it's Jerome Bettis. The Fastest WR On Ohio St might be a guy like Joey Galloway.

I may end up using more CAP options in this game than I did with the previous Alumni rosters. Not sure about the generic players if they can be edited over yet.

I don't think roster sharing is allowed but there's away around that fellas.

In this thread I will provide detailed information on every teams roster and anyone who wants to use the rosters would simply just enter the names of the players themselves to match what I have on my file. Since no ratings changes are needed just name inputs this should be a simple process.

I will always be very open to feedback to anyone who wants to make a suggestion regarding which players make the cut on each team.

A huge plus is the rosters are 85 players deep now as opposed 65 back in NCAA 14

Let's get ready to rock fellas

I very much hope we can do it , but I have a bad feeling about this.

Yeah I may have jumped the gun on this with the default rosters

I don't know much about Team Builder options yet either.

But once the game is released I'll have a better idea as to how to put these rosters together

EA seems like they are definitely trying to handcuff our ability to create historic team files.

I think they have Ultimate team but you can't use those players in a dynasty mode which sucks

I think it may be doable but I also think it will need a monumental effort.

Have we confirmed you can edit names and heights and weights? That's at least a start.

I'm not sure this is going to be possible. I can't imagine you're going to be able to create thousands of players through Create a Player like you would need to if you can't edit player ratings.

Shame, I was looking forward to making some new rosters. If it turns out it's possible I'm planning on a 2000s All Stars Roster with all the best players from each team from the year 2000 on.

I thought it was confirmed no roster editing of any kind outside of gear / accessories. Would be great if that wasn't true, would love to get my rosters over to 25 even if that means some manual work editing.

Maybe there's a way to build a full roster of classic teams in Team Builder and you could just use them in Play Now to play a season with your team by rotating teams on and off the save.

Yeah I'm thinking that is the only way to go unfortunately this year.

I just have to get with someone whose good at creating uniforms via team builder

Just saw a tweet from Chris Vannini (reliable reporter) that the only thing you can edit on players on the default roster is their equipment.

For recruits you can edit more stuff but not their ratings.

Possible some of this changes with the day one patch, so we'll see at 4:00 PM.

Okay, I've got the game and I'm messing around with the roster.

I'm looking at Michigan State, my alma mater. They have some players on the team who are fictional, just filling in spots. You can edit the names and ratings of those players but not their numbers for some reason. Can also change their positions.

With the real players it looks like you can only change their gear.

Thanks for feedback

I may use the small programs to get started

Re: Playmakers CFB 25 Alumni Rosters Reboot (Coming Soon)

I assume MSU has more fake players than most teams, but there's enough fake players for them that you have a lot of flexibility. Like you could definitely create a full team of starters and key backups.

Lack of Create a Player is a real bummer because MSU has lots of open spots. I think they only have 70 total players.

Like I said I haven't had a chance to compare, I assume most other major conference teams are more robust.

Re: Playmakers CFB 25 Alumni Rosters Reboot (Coming Soon)

Michigan appears to have about 15 fictional players. I'm assuming everyone has about that number or more.

Assuming they patch in the ability to change jersey numbers I'm going to make some legend rosters. I'll be able to add top legends for each school. Not the full teams we used to be able to make but it will be something.

I'll probably split it into old school (pre-2000) and new school (2000 on).

Re: Playmakers CFB 25 Alumni Rosters Reboot (Coming Soon)

Sorry it’s been a while Playmakers. Right before covid I was gonna get the new xbox, but coukdn’t find one tbuy. Then covid hit and hurt us bad and I still can’t afford one. I’ve tried to stay away from all of the news. This is my game here. Ive never missed a day of work for being sick, but I used to fake being sick on ncaa release day. NCAA was the only reason i ever missed work. I’d get those crazy butterflies like it was Christmas. On release day and couldnt get home fast enough. And then reading the box over and over again at every red light. Lol

It really hurt me when they quit making this game. Now it’s back but I can’t play it. Several times I had to stop myself from shooting you a message on here. I’ve been avoiding this site because of it. Just didnt want to get the fever for the game. but now i cant escape trailers and gameplay videos and top 10 lists and features. It’s all over my news feeds. Lol. Like a ghost, haunting me.

But seeing that the team builder feature is still there, I will be producing some classic sec teams on the app. Does anyone know if old teambuilder teams are still in the cloud? This will at least get me a piece of the game. Also lets me engage here in it. i miss talking ncaa on this site. Its been 10 years. Maybe i can watch guys on here play with my teams.

So cool they’re bringing this teambuilder feature back. This is the only feature that i know of. i id watch a gameplay video. Looked good. Sliders needed tweaks.

Hearing that teambuilder is included has me excited.I’m gonna start compiling some 80s 90s and 2000s all decade teams for sec teams and other teams im familiar with like southern miss. When i do get the system, i’ll have these teams ready to go.

Sorry for the long post. Just needed to vent and knew this was the right place.

Have you got a youtube or twitch account? Would love to see some cpu cpu action. I know you’ll get the sliders right. sucks you can’t change ratings.

NCAA and madden are way better games once the default players are gone. Ncaa is better because it only takes 5 years to get rid of the default players.
