That way they can't contribute and plus they won't effect playing time, team needs, etc. since they graduate after the first season.

    For the pitches, we can certainly play with bumping some of those up. I did drop them all just to make sure that the contract is as low as possible but it's certainly something we can play around with to find a good balance. If you want to test creating a team on TB and adjusting their ratings up & down to see what the contracts end up in an OD, I'd certainly appreciate it.
    Good point. I didn't think about the roster sizes.

    If I don't go to bed in a few minutes, I can give it a try. Can you load up the dynasty you grabbed the rosters from? Just to give me an idea about where our ratings ended up? It'd be nice if we could use that dynasty as a template of sorts. At least give me a team or two?

    I'm headed to bed... I'll go through the teams tomorrow and list them. That said, I think I tweaked them before I started but I'd have to go back and look.

    Either way though, I don't think 5 years is enough damage in the game as far as those ratings go.

    It'd give me a place to start. I'll create a handful of copies of the same team, with various ratings and see if there's a difference in the contracts.

    For anyone else that makes uniform requests, this is exactly how it needs to be. Escobar, you get a gold star!

    Auburn's base template only has 2 ROLB... I can only do 1 of those and since that would leave you would with only 2 MLBs, I did the Smith move.

    Just FYI for everyone, here are the position requirements:

    3QB, 3HB, 2FB, 5WR (or 1FB, 6WR), 3OT, 3OG, 2C, 4DE, 4DT, 4OLB, 3MLB, 4CB, 2FS, 2SS

    Okay, I tested seven Teambuilder teams with various settings for the Program Ratings. I based it on G's Arkansas ratings above for Season 6, plus kind of the average of the four teams he included.

    Here's the ratings I used for the "Base" team.
    Academics: B+
    Campus: B
    Coach Prestige: D-
    Championship: D-
    Athletic Facilities: C-
    Fan Base: B
    Pro Potential: D
    Program Tradition: B+
    TV Exposure: C
    School Prestige: 1-star

    The variations were as follows: High Program Tradition, Low Program Tradition, High Champ Contend, High Everything, Low Everything, and Base with a Lower OVR (I lowered everyone 70+ to below 50 OVR). All teams used the Cupcake roster template.

    Just in case there's variation, I tested three times, including replacing different teams. There was no change on any attempt.

    Team Contract Wins Goal
    Base 5
    High Tradition 6
    Low Tradition 5
    High Contend 5
    High Every 6
    Low Every 5
    Lower OVR 5
    High Everything, Low Tradition 5

    So it looks like the only thing that will bump us up to 6 wins is a High Program Tradition rating; nothing else matters. So here's what I would propose:

    Academics: Whatever our school would be on the original roster (didn't change in your test)
    Campus: Whatever our school would be on the original roster (didn't change)
    Coach Prestige: D-
    Championship: D-
    Athletic Facilities: Five steps down from base roster (1 per year), or give everyone a C
    Fan Base: B or higher (see next post)
    Pro Potential: D
    TV Exposure: B-
    Program Tradition: The big question, eh? According to your table, this didn't change despite our teams hitting rock bottom for five years. So that makes me concerned about how quickly we'll be able to recover. Honestly, that surprises me, because in my test dynasty with our horrible teams, Ohio State's dropped like a rock after just one 1-11 year. Could you sanity check and make sure that they really didn't change? Because it obviously needs to be low so we have a 5-win contract, but if it can't go up, then we might be sinking ourselves long-term?

    So, I just loaded up a dynasty with G's rosters. I can't explain this, but every time I go to sign a contract with Ohio State, it shows their Program Tradition as A+. Arkansas, for example, is B+.

    I started a dynasty with Kansas instead. In the Pre-Season, I went to the My School ratings and Arkansas now shows as D. Ohio State is down to C-. But Ohio State's target wins is still 11, so that isn't a workaround for this whole TeamBuilder effort though. But it gives me an idea of what our Tradition ratings "should" be?

    Arkansas - D
    Auburn - D+
    Florida - D+
    LSU - C-
    Michigan - C-
    Nebraska - C-
    Ohio State - C-
    Oregon - D
    Penn State - D+
    Texas - C-
    UCLA - D+
    USC - C-

    Fan Base doesn't appear to matter, or show up anywhere. I just tested two TeamBuilder teams, one with Fan Base at A+ and the other at D-. They ended up both being in the low 40k fans by the end of the year (in a 50k stadium) with 3-9 records. The team with the lower rating was actually higher. I'd say we just set everyone at B or higher, and just make it consistent across the board.

    Hey G, I just checked the uni's. On the default pants, can you move the logo from the right front to the right side and remove the left front logo. That way there are no logos in the front, and one on each side of the pants.

    Also when I imported into the game, stripe color 2 for the pants showed up as gray for some reason. I would just reselect the Mich blue to see if it sticks.

    Good timing. I've started on Oregon and was going to ask you what you wanted for uniforms. I probably won't be able to work again on them until Sunday but if I get time before, I'll let you know.

    Now that I think about it wish we could have another alternate.

    I'd ask for a black one as my alternate lol, like every other school has it seems

    Hey G, the colors still didn't show up right. I'm just going to change my pants:

    Default Pants:
    Stripe: none
    pants color: maize
    left side logo: logo 2
    right side logo: logo 2

    Alternate Pants:
    Stripe 15
    Left side logo: maize M
    left front logo: logo 2
    right front logo: none
    pants colors: base color is white, stripe 1 color is Michigan blue, stripe 2 color is Michigan blue, stripe 3 color is maize
    right side logo: maize M

    Also if you could:
    Away jersey:
    change chest logo from M to logo 2.

    Logo 2: make the white background transparent inside teambuilder
