You are not gonna hang around in this thread just to convince others not to buy the game. That's pretty much trolling.

If you aren't buying the game, and you don't have anything constructive to say about what would make you buy it then please do not continue to post in here, especially if your intention is to get other people not to buy the game.

Jersey, either you're doing this on purpose or you just don't use the feature, but that is far from the only thing they added. The text box was a huge addition, but they've also added team colors on uniform equipment and in generic stadiums, custom music for TB schools, uploading logos has been tweeked making it easier to upload clean images along with an option for the website to be able remove the background on your logo which is huge for some people, it's also faster to update your teams from the console and they've continued to add to their audio database for team nick names.

those are just off the top of my head and I know there's things I'm forgetting.

And again if they already have the best of something why should they feel the need to make any major upgrades to it? there's plenty to rip this series about Teambuilder is not it.

It could be that he is just frustrated that things that comprise the Teambuilder 2.0 list continue to be absent from TB and many things found on various TB wishlists here and elsewhere continue to be left out. They did indeed add everything you said. But I see those more as fixes than significant upgrades and add ons. Still love and will use TB, but I scratch my head that I can download over 100's of teams, but still only add 12 into dynasty. And this is coming from someone, me, who is excited to play 14.

I'm talking about the teambuilder website not the fact that they've added teambuilder school colors to equipment (if you want to point that out i'll point out how they still only get white or black cleats). Funny you mention Custom Stadium Sounds because that's another feature that never got much of an upgrade. And in typical EA fashion, custom stadium sounds only worked properly if you didn't have over a certain number of files on your hard drive. If you use sounds for other games and had more than 200 (i forget the specific number) files on your PS3, the songs didn't show up when selecting them, they'd be blacked out or would repeat.

The rest of the stuff you mentioned is very minor so again, Teambuilder has hardly been touched since it was created. Those things you mentioned were more like fixes or things that should have been there originally that they added because they realized they forgot them, such as having a text box on the jerseys (we still only have the same 3 fonts), taking away background images on logos. They still have no new jersey styles, no new pants styles, sock styles, helmet styles, endzone designs, no getting to choose which shoe company your team has, limiting us to 1 alt away & 1 alt home uni so if you recreate Oregon you lose a ton of their uniforms, and I can go on and on. Just go look at the Teambuilder wishlists... majority of them haven't changed 1 bit since Teambuilder arrived.

Again, i'm not ripping them for Teambuilder. I'm pointing out the fact that they've hardly done anything to keep it relevant. I was the biggest fan of Teambuilder when it first came out. I spent hours on that thing. I have about 50 different teams created. I was more than excited when we got it. And i've been equally disappointed to see the lack of attention it's gotten over the years. I can't stand the fact that Teambuilder teams get basic white or black cleats. It bothers me because it ruins the look of the team you spent so much time creating. Yes i'm one of those people that notice equipment, I notice cleats, so when they don't give our Teambuilder teams the same options as other teams in terms of cleat colors, it completely ruined the look of my teams, made them look generic and made me not want to play as those teams.

I've never ripped them for adding Teambuilder, i'm saying they have given it minimal attention at best since they've included it.

PS. To piggyback what was said above me, I created about 30 different High Schools from my state/area from back when I was in High School. Spent more hours than I can count in Paint.net getting the logos perfect, spent hours looking through old programs and newspaper clippings from when I played to get some of the guys I remember on each team. I was so excited the year they offered bonus Teambuilder slots for preordering the game because it meant i'd be able to add all these teams only to find out we were still limited to just 12. I was so disappointed.

Agree Ziza the 12 number sticks in my craw as well I just don't think its fair to say no updates when the feature still pawns anything 2k or Sony has come up with

[movethechains11]

So signing day is actually relevant? Commits cannot sign until the off season and there will be decommits?

THAT'S THE MOST FRUSTRATING PART!

Seriously, it doesn't frustrate you as much as it does me that there is such an innovative and great feature out there like Team Builder and they won't take the time to add some new designs to the uniforms, allow us to choose which shoe company we want associated with our teams, and basically everything else the people have listed on their wishlists? Teambuilder has so much potential and it's gotten minimal attention.
