TeamBuilder Website Updated for NCAA Football 11 - UPDATE

[Kwizzy]

I love this feature and I'm glad EA made as many real life changes as they did, but man, I was really hoping we'd get more control over the rosters. I was especially hoping for the ability to set classes (including redshirt status), change positions, and specify home states. Those (seemingly simple) changes would have made importing current dynasty teams so much easier and more accurate.

You can edit all of that... I know for a fact you can do it in the game. Also, the only way you can have 2 players with the same number is if they are already in the default roster that way. Otherwise it wont let you change another player to the same number as another.

Only two pants option again... I was hoping they would give us three or four.

Really? It's been months since I played NCAA 10, and I don't have a copy of the game handy to check, but I don't remember that option. Can you change those things for a Teambuilder team after importing it to your console but before starting a dynasty?

[JeffHCross]

been checking the old site every day for a week but didnt want to say anything for fear of jinxing it... then noticed it posted on utopia

It seems to me that the old site isn't updated yet. I'm guessing they didn't want this to go live yet.

Erm ... no. I don't know what Kwizzy's talking about. On Teambuilder, all of the edits must be done on the website. Unlike the NCAA 10 game, on Teambuilder (at least in '10) you could not edit a player's class (at least not to the extent of adding or removing a Redshirt), you could not change states, and you could not change positions.

EDIT: Also, unlike the game, which as he said limits you to having players of the same number that are on the default roster, Teambuilder appears to have no limits regarding players having the same number.

I thought as much, and as far as I can tell, it's still that way for '11. It's a real shame too. I wonder what the rationale/technical reasons for those limitations are.

[Solidice]

from what I cant tell, the other new mascots that have not been announced are:
North Texas - Scrappy
Washington State - Butch
Cincinnati - The Bearcat
Freson State - Timeout
USF - Rocky
Connecticut - Jonathan

there looks to be empty spots that I assume are supposed to be mascots, but for some reason are not showing up.

Technically, there shouldn't be any limitation. Sadly, they're very familiar, as I think many of those items were limitations in the past on the game. You couldn't edit a player's class until NCAA 07 on the 360 and NCAA 08 on the PS2 (strangely, they took it away in NCAA 08 for 360/PS3). States seem like they were disallowed at some point in the past, but maybe not because they haven't been around that long. Position changes, obviously, didn't function for a long, long time.

I'm in luck though. The base Ohio State roster has the exact positions I want for my 1995 team except I'm missing 1 TE, have a couple extra DBs on the base roster, and I'm missing one K. Not sure what I'll do about the TE, but I'll just create one of the DBs as my kicker and use Position Changes in the offseason.

The list of stadium/field art improvements that I noticed:

Alabama - Updated field art (midfield logo not 100% correct)
Arkansas - Broyles Athletic Complex looks correct (incorrect field art)
Arizona State - Updated field art & stadium trim
Army - Updated field art
Fresno State - Field art slightly updated (mid-field logo still inaccurate)
Iowa - Updated field art
Kansas - Updated field art (goal posts should be white)
Louisiana Tech - Updated field art
Miami - Updated field art & stadium signage/trim
Memphis - Updated field art
Minnesota - Updated field art (missing Big 10 logos)
Nebraska - Updated skybox/stadium signage
Pittsburgh - Updated endzone signage/seating structure
San Jose State - Updated field art
South Carolina - Updated field art
Tennessee - Jumbotron added
Texas - Updated field art, correct Big 12 logo
Tulsa - Updated field art
USF - Updated field art
Utah - Updated field art

Cowboys Stadium added

Possible
Ohio State - New video board, not sure what changed exactly but there is one in closed end of stadium
Rutgers - Stadium expansion may be in, tough to tell

Most disappointing is that it appears East Carolina's field art did not make it into the game. All changes like these have to be signed off on by the respective schools, so maybe EA couldn't get permission. Quite a few changes that I noticed and I am sure there are more we can't tell via the TB site.

(sigh) Still no Akron stadium?

Come on EA! How ya gonna give them their Mascot but not update their stadium/have it on the teambuilder website?

WVU's roster is still incorrect and off by a good bit at QB. Doesn't have either of the freshman QBs that they just got that are going to be HUGE additions to the pocket passing aspect of the offense. Still has Coley White at QB when he's been taking more snaps in spring at WR than anything.

[Kwizzy]

Yeah, I guess I wasn't thinking about teambuilder teams... I was referring to being able to edit all of that info on the teams in the game... In teambuilder yeah you can make all of your players have the same # if you wanted, but in the game they have to already have the same number. Kind of a weird problem & one that has been towards the top 5 of my personal wishlist for quite awhile now.

The list of stadium/field art improvements that I noticed:

looks like Texas Tech's new seating expansion(from last year) got in. the picture they used in TB shows it off. don't think/expect them to have Tech's new press boxes/suites in though, as they are not done yet(don't think so anyway).

[Kwizzy]

Nice to see the banners make it into Memorial Stadium! I think those are so badass!

The North end zone wall is littered with banners in game as well to match real life and the south end zone wall is bare, also like real life. They also added in the Sellout Streak and AA banners on the railings in north stadium. It looks great.

I think they should be done by the end of the summer hopefully, but I think if they had the concept art for the stadium, they may still have been able to put them in.

Oops... two teambuilder websites... the one for 10 isn't updated and the one for 11 is. That would explain a few things.

Am I retarded or what? I can't get the chest text to work. Geez, my computer skills suck

Did you change the font size, where it says off at?

Ya, I've tried everything I can think of. I basically changed every option and clicked on every color.

You know its not working for me either. Weird.
