As always, vote for the item you prefer. However, also state how you would like both features implemented into the game and indicate any specific elements you would (or would not) like to see added for each item.


Create-a-Stadium

A long-time request tied to community members who built up smaller programs in Dynasty Mode, a Create-a-Stadium feature gained significant support with the introduction of the TeamBuilder feature in NCAA Football 10. In regards to the TeamBuilder feature, users have asked for the ability to make a new stadium for their newly created (and possibly fictional) squads. For both TB & Dynasty, others have asked for the ability to upgrade this stadium over time should their team experience success over a period of time. The drawbacks that exist are the huge file size of stadiums in next-gen NCAA due to the level of details and graphics. FBS schools may not want real-life stadiums being edited or replaced by fictional stadiums, keeping the Create-a-Stadium feature from being applied to Dynasty Mode (unless for a TeamBuilder squad).


Global Player & Recruit Editor

Some in the community put a lot of work into editing specific player rating attributes (on an time-extensive individual player basis) to help tweak the game to their liking. This feature would allow users to apply global edits to all players or those at a certain position. For example, to help reduce the “super linebacker” effect, a player may reduce their jumping ability by 15 points. Instead of applying this manually to over 1,000 linebackers in the game, users could apply this global edit. Others in the community have asked for a way to shape the make-up of recruiting classes, including quality and play-style of players.

Tough one here as neither are very "high" on my list.

I'll give the Global Player and Recruit Editor a little love just off the superbackers that G and I were just discussing yesterday :D.

i went with global player and recruit editor

imo, a lot of the recruits start out way too balanced in the recruiting database. this would give you the ability to fine tune some 5* pass rushers into being true pass rushers (having great finesse moves but bad power moves, etc). i'd really like to see more one-sided recruits- for instance, recruits who excel at man coverage but are never in correct position for zone coverage plays. i'd like to see more big hitters out there, but maybe their tackling rating is poor. i've seen a lot of power running backs have A ratings in juke and spin moves but only a C- in trucking. this option could really improve recruiting in dynasty a lot.

I don't like either of these (as I would NEVER use either of them myself). However, I think player editor could help the roster people do edits to the base roster set. (I presume this wouldn't just apply to recruits and could be done to any set of rosters).

I'd also prefer the roster editor being able to do a +/- by % instead of points. I.e. 10% decrease to all QBs ACC rating etc....

Global Player Editor.
I would use it alot. I would like to create a stadium for Teambuilder, but player editor is more important to me.

[blkkrptnt819]

We need both options but global editor is more important.

I went with create-a-stadium because this has been a feature that I have wanted for a long time.

Every year I run a dynasty where I take a one star team and make them into a juggernaut. With this years custom conference I now have more control over when and where my team moves in terms of conference.

However, I am always limited to a handful of teams to choose from, because it takes away from the realism when your playing in the SEC with a 30,000 or less seat stadium. So I have always alternated between UAB, Memphis, SD State, Temple, because of their stadiums. Create-a-stadium would allow me to choose from literally any team.

[blkkrptnt819]

I very much agree with you here. Being a 6* program in a 30k seat stadium is a problem.

[bdoughty]

Went with create-a-stadium bit neither do that much for me.

Global editing would be cool for those that like doing that work.

[morsdraconis]

Pretty disappointed that Global Editor is getting such support. If we get the Online Roster Editor, what's the point of the global editor? Also, I think people are REALLY blowing the jumping LB shit out of proportion and it's leading to a vote for a feature that 99% of them won't even use, whereas, Custom Stadiums is something that I could see quite a few people using, especially if we're given the option to have it linked to the roster files, thus making it where people can make changes to their team's stadium so that it looks more authentic if it's a situation where the EA team left something off of their team's stadium.

The global editor would essentially be for dynasty purposes and still beneficial even with the online editor. The online editor would be for creating roster shares whereas the global editor would be for editing rosters 10 years into a dynasty. It would essentially allow another level of sliders but more granular.

Besides, it'd highly unlikely that stadiums would be packaged in with rosters. Instead they'd likely be more like teambuilder teams; downloaded one at a time. As well, I would bet a good chance that you couldn't use them in ODs.

[Rudy]

Global editor would go hand in hand with online editors as well. I think Create-A-Stadium wouldn't be used much. I think most people would prefer to play with their team's stadium than some generic one they create. Create a Stadium isn't something I care about.

[Prowler]

Global editor; it shouldn't take much space to implement and the return would be huge compared to create a stadium taking up a lot of space and yielding pretty uninspired results; and this is coming from a diehard Teambuilder user.

I think a better alternative to create a stadium would be re-skins on already existing stadiums similar to how Qualcomm is in the game three times for SDSU, the Poinsettia Bowl and the Holiday Bowl. Take stadiums of various sizes with already limited signage and add re-skins with no signage.
