Teambuilder Impressions 2013

[moylan1234]

So we don't have a teambuilder impressions thread this year, but despite their being no changes or upgrades to the site itself I felt it was important to note that not everything is actually the same in teambuilder land this year. Here's a couple of things I've found after playing all day with teambuilder schools:

-HS stadiums: there are specific sections or signs in certain HS stadiums that will reflect your teams colors. So far I've seen in the Southeast Large stadium the awning reflecting both my teams primary and secondary colors. Also, in the Northeast Large the scoreboard as well as all the signs hanging around the stadium will be in your colors so it's important to have a different primary and secondary for any team you have playing there other wise the signs hanging just look like bed sheets left out to dry

-Updates and bottom line: TB squads are fully compatible as I've seen them in both. If a TB team is listed for an upcoming game their logo is also present.

-White Helmets: The problem with white helmets being too dark in night games is gone.

-Team color accessories: Once in dynasty you can now assign your players primary team color everything including vapor and superbad gloves

On the negative side one bug that's already been spotted is helmet numbers not showing up again, but since this has been a patchable fix before I think it should be again. Also, I haven't played far enough to see if the rivalry glitch still exists so I'm not sure about that, however it feels like they've put a ton of time into recruiting so I suspect that was fixed as well.

So even though we didn't get any new options on the site we still got a few nice upgrades and even if some of them are just fixes everything I listed already has me much more pumped to play with my teams compared to last year.

dynasty equipment color is a nice thing.

But somebody better ring a loud bell and get the helmet numbers back ASAP !

Good to hear the opposite is true! -White Helmets: The problem with white helmets being too dark in night games is gone. Do they still have the cream color or are they actual white? -Team color accessories: Once in dynasty you can now assign your players primary team color everything including vapor and superbad gloves. About time!

These three features are what I'm most happy about. There is still much left to be desired though. Teambuilder has such great potential if they dedicate more time to it.

If you put a Teambuilder Team into a Bowl/ neutral sight based stadium, is the crowd still split?

Glad to see white helmets fixed and glad they fixed the totally baffling team colored equipment issues.

Very curious about that as well. As far as I'm concerned that was a dealbreaker for using those stadiums. Would be nice to have them as a legitimate option.

Here's a pic from a 8 pm kickoff with my tb team in all whites with everything matching perfectly

Still only all-black or all-white cleats though? (Judging by the picture you just posted)
