Complete FCS/DII/DIII/NAIA Project

[nc0ffey]

**Pending what TB will allow us to create** I'm considering doing a database of realistic TeamBuilder creations for all football programs at all levels. This would include all program details as well as named rosters with realistic ratings. We used to do a project like this on here and it was pretty awesome. The first year was the hardest because we all had to start from scratch, but subsequent years we were able to copy/update the existing teams.

The database would only include teams that fit the criteria to keep all the teams on a similar playing field with others at their real life level of play...i.e. UNC Pembroke (Go Braves!) will not be able to compete with Clemson (Go Tigers!) unless you build the team through years in Dynasty (which is my plan).

If we get enough interest, AND it seems realistic based on what we see from TeamBuilder when it is released we can work together to flesh out a ratings scale and moving forward with the project. Just putting feelers out right now for interest.

I started a preliminary Google Sheet to track things, and will likely start a Discord server to have easier communication between those working on the project if we get interest.

If interested, drop a line in here with what teams you're interested in working on if we do this. Don't worry if someone has already posted that they want to work on TEAM A and you also want to do TEAM A, I'm not against listing multiple users' teams for the same school if they fit the criteria. I know I plan to do all the North and South Carolina teams but another user is doing some of them in his work with the CAA, thats cool...his might be better than mine, but I still just like to make them anyway so I have access to change/update things as I see fit.

I also added a tab on the database for non-football schools, still with the fictional rosters they should be rated appropriately...but its fun to get a bit more creative with schools that don't/no longer have football programs.

I also posted this on Reddit since their TB sub seems to be pretty active, so hopefully between there and here we can make a lot of progress on this.

Very cool! I can't wait to create my alma mater - the University of Northern Colorado Bears

Fingers crossed we get the info we need or access in the TB Deep Dive thats coming...then I'll confirm the project is for sure happening and start sending out Discord invites to those interested so we can start talking ratings and all that. Got a handful of guys interested on Reddit, at least one of which is wanting to do a ton of teams.

I think i heard or read somewhere that the max teams you can build is 16?

Correct. You can import up to 16 teams. And I'd hold your breath on real schools with copyrighted logos, too. Keep in mind that FBS schools were actually paid to be in the game this year, paid individually, just like players. EA has already limited the ability to create players that aren't in the game, so don't be surprised if they limit creating schools, too. They may not, but we should wait before we get our hopes up. Teambuilder 25 could just be a generic create-a-team.

Yea, thats why I'm holding off on fully committing to this til we know for sure. There was something said by one of the content creators that has me thinking its not web based and is just an in-game creator. If we can't do the project, at least I'll have more time to jump into playing!

Yea, import 16...but based on previous versions you can create as many as you want. Again, its all assumptions based on the previous versions since they've been pretty quiet so far on TB.
