GSL in Team Builder/CFB25

EA released the long-awaited team builder for use in CFB25 and Madden next month. Of course, I had to go with the CityHawks as the first team I created.

To my surprise, they had almost everything the CityHawks use (striping, numbers, etc) in the team builder. 

Here is what I came up with:
 

Overall, I am very pleased with the customization options, although not perfect.


Edit: I just got the unis and field in-game, and it looks AMAZING!!!

 

Wow, looks amazing!

I might have to get the game and teambuilder to do some work for the Gridiron Bowl or something.
How much can you customize in team builder?

How much can you customize in team builder?

You can customize the School Info, which includes team name, nickname, abbreviation, city and state, Primary, Secondary, and Tertiary logos, and colors. You have to choose one of the apparel brands (Adidas, Nike, and Under Armour). Each has limited font selections, depending on which brand you choose; for example, Nike has Baylor numbers, but Under Armour will have something different.

You can make 5 uniforms, a Home, Away, and 3 alts. For the helmet texture, you can choose between Matte, Shiny, and Chrome, a decent amount of striping options (first image below), numbers on the side of the helmet, or anywhere you want using the advanced option, logos, and of course the helmet colors (the helmet itself, chinstraps, cups, bumpers). The jersey depends on what apparel brand you choose, in my case, Nike, which had the new Nike template + older models (image 2); the name and number font also depend on the apparel brand (although the number and name font can be different), and everything else has the same premise as the helmet (striping options, colors, logos and more). The pants are the same as the jersey; socks are also color-customizable but have no striping.
 

You can also customize the field by choosing one of the FBS stadiums as a template (although not customizable), adding two colors to the crowd, and changing what color you want to show more often (image 1 below). You can change the surface to turf or grass, or go the Boise State route and change the field to any color you want (image 2 below), you can put a logo at midfield but the secondary logo has to be a generic logo provided by EA (image 3), endzone patterns or add a custom image and place it on the endzone (image 4) a ton of number/field line options (image 5), sideline and bench areas as well. Finally, you can customize the roster to your liking.
    

I'm sure there is a video on YouTube somewhere that explains it more in detail, but this is just the basic idea.

There's more to show but it'll have to wait...

Is this the PC version? I'm curious how logo uploads would work

Me too

ICRMON wrote:Is this the PC version?  I'm curious how logo uploads would work

Yes, this is the PC version; here is the link to Team Builder if you don't already have it: https://www.ea.com/games/ea-sports-college-football/team-builder/teams?isFootball=true


Here is how to upload logos, but I'm not sure how EA makes it work

You can upload logos by clicking the link above, and it might prompt you to log in to your EA account if you have one. After you log in, go to the "Create" button if you don't already have a team created; in the editor, click on the "Logos" button on the side it will bring up a drop-down menu (image 1) Click the + icon on any one of the Primary, Secondary, or Tertiary spaces and go to "My Uploads" (image 2), after that click the + icon again, press confirm, and navigate to where your logo is on your computer, select the logo and it should pop up in the "My Uploads" section (image 3), then select the logo.
  

Oh thats interesting! The tool is an online tool that links to your EA account - I bet you create the team using an online tool and you can import it into any version of the game

EA said that Madden 25 will also have Team Builder, so your uploads/teams might be carried over to Madden once released; I think that's probably one of the reasons you link your account to EA.

I like how the tool does most of your work; I bet it takes a lot to make the site work and easy to navigate.

Question can someone look to see if a mock up can be created for the Miami Sol. As my laptop does not have a disk reader. Please. Home, away, eclipse, whiteout, and color rush. Thanks.

On it!

I like the idea. And in this instance, I can still import Hard Rock Stadium as it is also the home of the Miami SOL. Should be fun. I will have to save up to get the PC version of the game. But it would be a blast!

Just to let you know, I'm almost done; I only have the Whiteout and Color Rush to go!

  

I don't have the game or the console.

But I'm glad you guys are embracing Teambuilder since it returned!

To see my team in realistic uniforms is incredible. This is a tool that every team in the GSL should use. I am making some minor tweaks in striping for next year, But they kook awesome

The Miami Sol is now 100% finished! It's available for download now. I did have to cut some corners because of the limited number of images, but I made the uniforms as close as possible. 

     

I hope to see Salt Lake one of these days!!

These are great!

For those who don't know, Team Builder is free, and you don't need to own the game to use it.

Oh yeah?!?!

Drew Abernathy wrote:Oh yeah?!?!

Just have to sign into, or create an EA account.
I do have to say though, it's very buggy/laggy when I try to use it.

But, I will say this, if anyone wants to make their GSL uniforms/fields based on this, just take screenshots and send them to me. I will be using exactly what I receive in the screenshots as your designs though, so if you want anything extra that team builder can't do, then I suggest using our traditional route.

I made the Salt Lake Trappers... unfortunately, because of an Error I made: The Native American Heritage uniforms are home and I had to make Home Original for the HOME HOME.

You can find the trappers either under Salt Lake Trappers or obnoxitydesigns.

I plan to keep the traditional route, As I have a custom font. But the EA sports team builder is interesting

I'd like to mess around with this, but that custom number font I have won't work here

Is anyone else having trouble with Teambuilder? I've been getting an error every time I upload a logo, save, or try to submit my team.

I was having similar issues. Some logos would upload, others would be invalid or not pass verification or something like that. Other times a logo would upload, but then when I'd try to put it on something, it wouldn't show up.
This is a beta for now. Maybe by the time the Madden team builder comes out, some of those bugs will be taken care of.

EA is aware of these issues and is trying to solve them right now; they just performed server maintenance a couple of hours ago, so that probably was the issue.

I couldn't be more ready for the full-release  the 10 image limit is really putting a strain on what I can do, hopefully they increase the number of images you can have.

Has anyone played as or against the Trappers yet? I don't have the game ..

Yes! Everything looks great and on point.

I could also get some pictures of the Trappers in game if you’d like.

All good!

I got some great pictures, including one under the lights and in the rain.

      

Thanks so much for sharing these! This made my day!!

I finally got Team Builder working and got two teams done. If anyone doesn't mind, can someone test at least one of the teams for me? I don't have the game, but I just want to see what they look like in gameplay. Right now, I am working on the Birmingham Owls. My username is Appleman22 and the two teams I have made are Redwood Wildcats and Butter Land Bears.

Sure, I'll take a look and send some pics of them.

Here are the Butter Land Bears and Redwood Wildcats! (love the logos and colors btw)

     

Thank you very much. They look amazing in gameplay. Yea, I also do like the colors and logos for both Butterland and Redwood. It was kinda hard to get the logos in the right place for both teams but I think I did a good job.

EA released, along with their Madden 25 Franchise and Presentation Deep Dive, that you can import up to 32 teams into a Franchise in Madden 25.

We could actually do a full GSL season with that madden teambuilder. Or at least get pictures or highlights of the simulation game.

Is the Madden Team Builder out yet?

Zenzo wrote:Is the Madden Team Builder out yet?

Unfortunately, no, I have a feeling it might be tied to CFB25's team builder. Maybe the teams you created for CFB25 will be carried over to Madden. I think all the bugs/glitches happening in CFB25's team builder will be ironed out for the Madden release (obviously not all of them).

I hope they release Madden's team builder early, possibly before the game's release.

I'm definitely going to check out the Madden team builder when it comes out.

I'd certainly like to make plans of some sort to figure out how to do some sort of recorded simulation of a game with GSL teams. Maybe the All-Star game in 2025, to see if it's viable to have a full game in Madden simulated and recorded that could later be streamed. Could pave the way for future live games to be watchable. There'd still be a TON to work out with that, but it would be really cool to have.
