Are Ram and I the only TB nerds here? I've really gotten into creating logos using Paint.

My understanding is nothing is changing with TeamBuilder... I'm not certain of that but there was never anything mentioned to us about new changes. That said, I have given them an idea for the ability to import roster information from a csv file. Particularly download your OD's team file, then import it to TeamBuilder so you can use it in other modes. It's feasible that they could create that sometime throughout the year, but nothing is planned for certain.

Jeff is right. Technically none of them should be in the game based on how they've handled transitional teams in the past... when FAU, FIU, & WKU all joined, they weren't added until the year they were full members. However, for TSU & UTSA, they almost had to add them so that the WAC could function.

There are no words for how much easier that would have made my 1995 team :D

does the game feel or move any different really ?

the last 2 years have been an over all improvement but it still feels very basic and very stick figure-ish.

In Madden, I trust the players to do what i expect to a degree,they seem more solid..linemen make tackles in madden...in NCAA, they all seem so paper thin and linemen feel useless.

NCAA just seems like cardboard while Madden is more of a hard plastic or rubber..if you get my meaning LOL

Thanks for the info guys.

Jeff, you mentioned TB was different last year within Dynasty. Do you remember what was changed b/c I didn't notice anything. :D

...says something about how observant I am!

Two things that I immediately recall. One was that numbers on helmets finally worked and the second was that rivalry games were being tracked within Dynasty mode for Teambuilder teams, so you could finally use the "Winning Record vs Rivals" promise.

At least, I'm 95% sure those were the two things fixed. I can't find the post where I answered that question, so I'm basing that totally off my memory (which isn't always good).

Yep...you are right. Now that you mention it I do remember both of those working. Specifically the rivals. When I switched out Kent St. and Akron the rivalry actually 'worked'.

i was just messing around with madden and have a question for you guys. How does the deep ball work in 13. does the CB still run infront of the WR? is it still kinda impossible and a useless rouat? is it easyer to place the ball in spots like up and to the left on a streak. to keep the CB from picking it? Just tell me what you saw when you played the game?

You and Avross are in a strong competition for "worst grammer and spelling". Seriously.

Otherwise they will most likely remove the player models with hair that they can't get to show up correctly in game.

Don't know why I missed this. I hope they can get this figured out. I know it's small and can be overlooked, but it's just one more thing that adds individuality between players and I spend a lot of time trying to individualize my guys. It helps me get longevity out of the dynasty. If every player feels the same I just have a tough time going from year to year and feeling a connection. :(

It puzzles me though about the hair. Not that it's a big deal to me but Madden 12 had long hair like Clay Matthews on Green Bay. Couldn't the NCAA guys just use the same tech to bring those hair models to their game?

Plus, I don't think anyone is even able to compete with Avross. That dude has the title wrapped up without even trying.

Same tech, yes. But having the same tech doesn't mean it runs at the same frame rate, or looks the same. The engines are extremely similar, but there may be just enough differences that it wasn't as simple as copying and pasting code/resources. Frame rate in particular is a sticking point.

So to make sure I have this correct.....Texas State, UTSA and UMass WILL be in the game while South Alabama WILL NOT be in the game. Is that correct?

Yeah, they have until June 1st to official declare (not sure if they have yet or not) but if they do declare, they would be a probationary member in 2013 and a full member in 2014. Based on previous years, they wouldn't be included in NCAA14, however this year with TSU, UTSA, & UMass, it's possible they're included next year.

As far as I was aware, there is not a Teambuilder "team". The website is probably left to the guys who are in charge of other sites, like Dynasty Wire. Everything in game is probably done by whoever would otherwise be doing it ... dynasty integration of Teambuilder teams is done by the dynasty guys, etc, etc.

100% speculation on my part though.

This. Any new trick plays or team-specialized plays added this year?
