servers are still wacky
cant even do updates through TB. One of my teams still says 7/12 instead of 7/15 that i've been trying to change

nope we are the only TB aholics
you have to do it one at a time if you know you changed it . i got mine through the other day.
Someone over on OS just mentioned that the numbers do show up on the helmets, but instead of normal size on the sides of the helmet, they show up as small numbers on the back of the helmet. I went and checked it out and sure enough they do. I took a picture of my Alabama teambuilder to show how it looks:

Weird, though that's actually kinda cool looking at the same time.
This was an issue last year, and it looks like it's carried over to this year. Rivalries are messed up. In the old create-a-school you could designate a rival for your new school. You can't do that now, and, at first glance, it looks like you simply take on the top rival of the school that you replaced. However, it doesn't actually work like that. What ends up happening is that records vs. rivals is never updated.
Example:
In my OD I use TB and replace Notre Dame with my TB school. My TB school is now rivals with USC. I play the so-called rivalry game against USC, but my record vs. rivals remains as 0-0. If I promise a recruit a winning record vs. rivals, and I end up with a 0-0 record, then that promise is broken.
Holc / HB, in case you don't know by now ... the team isn't failing to download. That's Season Showdown failing to download. Has nothing to do with TB.
As for Teambuilder ...
I believe this is "new" this year, but redshirts are set randomly, and (can) change every time you save the team. This is both good (two people who use the same roster won't have the same experience) and bad (horribly for attempts at recreating teams). I believe last year the redshirt status was dictated by the base roster. This is not the case on NCAA 11 Teambuilder.
I just spent 30 minutes making small edits to the roster and checking the Redshirt status afterward ... all in an attempt to get a certain set of 7 players to be True rather than Redshirts. Sigh.

Pretty sure you're right. I recently did the same thing (spending way too much time trying to get the right players true freshmen), except I was trying to get 12 of them, and finally gave up with 9/12. However, I think the redshirt status actually gets set when you download the team, not when you save it. So you don't actually have to modify the team, you can just download it over and over...
I still wish EA would just let us set redshirts and be done with it.
I tested that theory, by downloading a team, deleting them, and downloading them again. The roster was consistent (at least among the guys I was looking at), between the two.
However, when Oneback imported my 1995 Buckeyes into the Online Dynasty, he checked a specific player for me on download, saw that he was a True Freshmen, but then he suddenly became a Redshirt Freshmen in the OD. Even though he was a True on my download and Oneback's download.
At this point, I have no freaking clue what's going on with Redshirts. My entire list of WRs were all True, and my entire group of CBs were all Redshirts. Wtf.

Yeah, I stand corrected. I just did two downloads of the same team, and they were different when I previewed the roster. I'm not sure at all what's the story with it.

It seems to recalculate which guys are redshirts every time you query the servers for the roster. So if you preview a roster first, it won't necessarily look the same when you then download it. It's pretty frustrating, actually. Why EA decided we wouldn't care how many years of eligibility the players on our created teams would have is beyond me.
On the upside, with Teambuilder, you can make as many players the same number as you want. I just noticed that I have two HB #25s ...

I wish they would hurry up and fix the numbers on helmets issue. I'm ready to use my TB Alabama team.
