Such a great feature, and EA puts seriously no effort into it.

Hopefully this isn't final and they are still tweaking it like last year when it looked to be "live" befpre it officially went live. It would be nice to at least be able to add names for our OC and DCs under the head coach. Guess we'll find out for sure in a few days.

Amen to that. I messed around with one team, then remembered what happened last year, and decided to hold off on making any changes until Monday or Tuesday. Whenever '12 officially launches. Good catch on the new mascot btw.

I have a silly question. Is the TB site 'officially' up? I figured EA would say something but have not heard a word. I'm not expecting anything to change but there is still 2 or so stadiums missing or that are 'greyed' out. Part of me thinks they aren't going to announce anything since nothing really changed. I'm just a little worried to make any changes if they are still working on it.

i'm curious too....? but I doubt anything will disappear of stuff I made... I would like to think the company is smart enough to say an official warning if so with millions of hits in 3 years. Its a website,..nothing could/should be destroyed in a sense...?

EA posted something on Facebook about TB being up around 11:00 or so. Nothing has changed though...still missing a stadium or two.

HAHA thanks! I have just found out about TGT, I spent all last year on the EA threads and was looking for something a little less trollish. BTW I was just on one of their TB Threads and saw they were having the same thread about not being able to log in. I looked at the time post and it was for 6/25/2010....lol, so they had the EXACT same issue last year.

I think EA should release TB a month early next year. Releasing it a week before release has not worked out well. The site is down AGAIN and still missing stadiums.

I just created the entire Umass minutemen team with accurate roster and then accidentally clicked on bookmarks and lost it all. Has anybody created a Umass team that is accurate. I would like to add them to the MAC to reflect the 2012 MAC division. If not I'm just going to redo the rosters. :(

Now I remember why I don't do teambuilder that much. I'm recreating all my HS teams for Road to Glory, took two hours this morning to make four teams. Granted half that time was probably tracking down logos and then getting them fixed up in some software before loading them up to the teambuilder site. That, and trying to find the right jersey and pants combinations to match them up with game pictures of the real life teams.

Thankfully only four more teams to go then the GMC is complete. Then just three extra teams from the non-conference schedule and I'm done.

It's definitely a cool aspect (importing TB teams for your HS football opponents) but I definitely won't be taking the time to do it. I need to get around to starting my RTG player though. Been slackin' off fuckin' around with CPB and playing Trenched instead. :)

Yeah, I normally would never bother, but if I'm going to play a full 10 game HS season, I'd be more caring and more wanting to play my best and win if I'm doing it against my old high school foes than against some randomly created Ohio teams.

That's why you just find people who have already created your high school... I almost guarantee someone already has. It's not like you have to worry about rosters or anything, all you need are uniforms.

Oh I know, except the people who have created the teams in the Green Meadows Conference, half of the teams, the correct logo isn't used (some of them, they just have H for Hicksville, instead of all four aces from a card deck. They don't have an archer for the Antwerp Archers, just a giant blue A. The uniforms for my own high school, the helmet is no where close to the real helmet the team uses, the uniform colors aren't even correct.

So I pretty much have no choice but to create them all myself, going to the individual school websites to grab the authentic logos. And not the current logos of the teams today, but the logos of the teams as I played them back in the early 2000s. Matching up the team colors correctly with either existing D-IA team colors, or custom colors, etc. If I'm going to play my high school schedule, I want the teams to be authentic, from the uniform styles and colors, all the way down to the logos of the teams.

SmoothPancakes

Woohoo! All 8 teams in the GMC are done. Took a lot of time, and a lot of searching for good game pictures I could reference from the local newspaper's website, but the GMC is as close to exactly accurate as I can make it with the Teambuilder options. Now I just have to create McComb, Ottawa Hills, and Fremont St. Joseph Central Catholic for the non-conference games, and the schedule will be complete.

SmoothPancakes
07-14-2011, 05:59 AM
Got done an hour or two ago with the three non-conference teams. They were a LOT harder to do because for the GMC teams, I had the GMC's website with stuff on all the teams listed, as well as logos, that I could use. I had to do a lot of searching on the web to track down pictures of their teams in games and team pictures from Picture/Media day to get references for uniforms. More searching to either just plain find their logo, or find a workable logo that I could use. And then more searching to find the name of their head coach.

But, at last, it's done. My high school team and all 10 opponents from my senior season are created in Teambuilder. Since I don't too much of a damn about player names in Road to Glory, I'm just going to auto-generate names, so I can finally start that baby up while waiting on rosters for dynasty and online dynasty.

Using JB's excuse from another thread, whichever one it was, I can get away with those three posts in a row. Those posts were an hour and 45 minutes, and 3 and a half hours apart. ;)

Hey, it's a lot better than JB's "those were over 5 minutes apart, so I'm can get away with three posts in a row" excuse. At least mine went hours in between. :D

And don't worry. I'm never going to enter so deeply into the dark side like JB. :D If I became as big as/bad of a post whore like JB, then I wouldn't be able give him grief over his being a post whore. I would hate to lose that ability.

Just made a UMASS Minutemen team on teambuilder. All players who actually play are on the team. Best player is a 78. Umass will be in the mac in 2012 so adding them will make your dynasty more realistic. Uniforms and coaches are accurate. I selected Pitt's stadium because it is the most similar to the patriots stadium where umass will be playing in 2012.

Looks like teambuilder is down again. I was just on it not 45 minutes ago making two teams and then I tried to go back just a few minutes ago to change something and the website doesn't work anymore. The normal website (teambuilder.ea.com) is the super old beta website that doesn't work at all anymore so I'm not sure what's up now.
