MJWalker45 Posted July 21 Share Posted July 21 I'm sure a few folks are already playing with Team Builder servers. But I wanted to give some tips that I've seen so far based on my own work. CUSTOM LAYERS for the Stadium Design When choosing to do the field layout last, I've only been able to place a design in one of the end zones. So if you want to place your wordmarks in both end zones, you may want to start designing it first before you touch any other parts of the design process. You can do this before choosing your planned primary, secondary and tertiary logos. If you have a team that uses a contrasting sleeve logo, the Team Builder doesn't have that option. Instead you'll need to create a sleeve pattern and use it as one of the 10 logos you can import per team. You may have to thin out or bulk up the stripe based on how big you want it to look on the jersey. I've been using 1024x1024, but most say using 512x512 is what you should be using for the logos. Both work, so just go with whichever makes your logos look better. For outline logos like this, you will probably need to do a better job of matching up the colors, depending on the finish you choose for the design (glossy, satin, matte, or chrome). 8 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJWalker45 Posted July 23 Author Share Posted July 23 https://www.operationsports.com/ea-sports-college-football-25-devs-list-top-known-issues-team-is-tracking/ First list of workarounds and identified bugs. "The EA Sports College Football 25 developers have posted a list of the top known issues they are currently tracking to address for future title updates. The team is currently prioritizing the issue of some players being unable to load into an existing online dynasty. Before we talk about some things we are tracking in Dynasty, we wanted to provide some things to consider and clarity on the design intentions. There are many factors at play in Dynasty that can create ripple effects: Injuries, players going pro early, transfers, strong or weak recruiting classes, upsets, and more! The beauty of the mode is that two different users can begin playing Dynasty as the same school, but over multiple years, their College Football 25 worlds can develop notable differences. Dynasty is intentionally designed in a way where the backend systems will create organic and dynamic situations that lead to branching stories. We didn’t want to have a rigid system that leads to all users experiencing the same situations and stories 5, 10, or 15 years in – the world of college football is dynamic and so is Dynasty in College Football 25. The team is also tracking player feedback on Super Sim Logic. In particular the tendency of FCS schools to cause more upsets than intended. For a more comprehensive tuning of Super Sim Logic, they will continue to monitor player feedback and analyze telemetry data from all users’ Dynasties as more data is collected. Check out the full list below and while you’re at it make sure to read an outstanding post from OS community member canes21. He breaks down some EA CFB 25 simmed stats from 134 teams and 501 simmed games and compared them to real life stats from cfbstats. Some of the issues in the sim engine show quite the discrepancy in total plays per game and rushing attempts per game with many teams showing 95% of the carries going to their #1 back. It also shows no mass subs during sims and second string quarterbacks seeing no playing time. Make sure to give some XP to this post! AUDIO Incorrect commentary when playing as the first game of the season in Dynasty at Utah Florida State’s War Chant and Tennessee’s “Rocky Top” are not audible when playing only on Xbox Series S LOGOS The following teams/conferences have incorrect logos: Stanford, UMass, Western Michigan, Jacksonville State, FIU, New Mexico, SEC, Conference USA, and the Sun Belt UTEP and Wyoming display incorrect athletic branding on their equipment in Dynasty Visual issue with conference patches when changing a small subset of teams Conference in Dynasty DYNASTY Super Sim Logic Tuning: The team is looking into tuning of the Super Sim Logic, including FCS schools upsetting too many Power 5 schools Note: As we continue internal testing on the tuning of Super Sim Logic, Top 25 Polls & the College Football Playoff seedings will also see an improvement. Issue when adding additional teams to the PAC-12 conference when using custom conferences does not generate a new conference schedule as intended". Workaround: After adding teams to the PAC-12, open the Conference Rules and set Divisions to ON. Users will see they can now set the number of conference games by toggling back and forth. Users can then disable divisions and edit other settings as desired. Issue with modified conference rules not saving Workaround: Users can re-enter the Conference Rules screen to ensure their settings were saved and are valid. If they did not save, then the rules are not valid with their current setup. Occasionally, when a recruit reaches their Top 5 stage, it will not display the recruit is “Ready for a Visit” despite meeting the requirements. Recruiting Tuning: The team has planned additional tuning to recruiting logic. Small chance of a freeze when simulating individual plays quickly after exiting “Super Sim” Workaround: Wait a couple seconds in between simulating the individual plays before exiting Super Sim. Issue with the Practice Tile not initially appearing in the “Team” tab Workaround: Exit the mode and then re-enter. Current maximum cap of 20 created coaches instead of the intended 32 created coaches Note: The team is targeting Tuesday for an issue fix that limits Dynasty’s to 20 created coaches. A current work around is using existing coaches in the remaining spots to reach 32. Issue with some player’s jersey numbers and/or OVRs changing when editing certain players gear. TEAM BUILDER When using a Team Builder team in Play Now, cleats are defaulted to Adidas regardless of selected brand apparel. Note: This does not impact Team Builder teams used in Dynasty Second custom image layer not appearing on the field Workaround: Add a second layer, then select a generic image, and then re-select your custom image. 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Germanshepherd Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 Have any tips for actually getting the site to load and let you upload images? I swear there's like a 10-minute window of the day where I can actually get on it and have it work, and I've tried like four different browsers.

GriffinM6 Posted July 24 Share Posted July 24 Having trouble trying to add a custom helmet stripe. I thought you'd be able to add a custom layer across the middle of the helmet, but apparently not yet. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You might need to make multiple layers tho. 1 Quote i have unquantifiable corpses on my conscience Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did that for one helmet. It only goes up to the middle of the helmet if you're not choosing to slide it up or down. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

walkerws Posted July 26 Share Posted July 26 Is there a way to do a custom helmet stripe like Purdue's train tracks? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You can create a 1024x1024 or 512x512 PNG file, then tell the layer to place it on the back of the helmet (-90). Then set the rotation to (+90). The stripe will stop just short of the midpoint of the helmet if you anchor the bottom of the railroad stripe to just under the bumpers. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CS85 Posted July 28 Share Posted July 28 Really bad look for EA that the Team Builder page is basically operational 30 minutes a day, and even then is like crossing the glass bridge in Squid Game. So many cool things I want to create but there's virtually no opportunity to consistently do anything. 3 Quote Quote "You are nothing more than a small cancer on this message board.

So many cool things I want to create but there's virtually no opportunity to consistently do anything. It's also annoying that I have 3 to 4 blank create teams at all times, which take up spots. Finally bit and bought the game. At least you can use Create teams in play now. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CS85 Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 Team Builder has somewhat stabilized since I went around bitching about it, so naturally I created a concept of my alma mater for use in Dynasty. https://imgur.com/a/eastern-illinois-panthers-cfb25-team-builder-tStRtL5 Give it a looksie if you like, I had a lot of fun making this. 3 Quote Quote "You are nothing more than a small cancer on this message board.

SSmith48 Posted July 30 Share Posted July 30 I've been having fun so far building a bunch of teams. Still some bugs to sort out (some teams I can't edit, my username isn't showing up in search, etc.) but the level of depth is something I wasn't expecting out of the box. There should be more base designs and additions down the road, so it hopefully should only get better. Here's some of the work I've done so far, for both existing and fictional teams. 1 Quote Visit my website at SSmith Designs (google.com) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJWalker45 Posted August 1 Author Share Posted August 1 17 hours ago, CS85 said: Did the UGF Pandas from Not The Expert's youtube channel fame. I like that they made FCS teams that look like actual teams instead of a generic cut and paste team. I also like that every FCS team in the game was also based off of some of teh community that kept NCAA14 alive. Also, something I figured out yesterday. If you place an image on the front bumper and blow it up, sometimes it will default to a monotone color. If you go back to choose the logo again after you've expanded it, it should change back to the original colors of the logo. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJWalker45 Posted August 3 Author Share Posted August 3 I figured out the end zone sizing. It's 1024x256. Probably the same as the old Madden games. That should make it easier to line up the end zones as they should appear. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJWalker45 Posted August 5 Author Share Posted August 5 Something else to be aware of when using Chrome as your numbers and sleeve design option, is sometimes it can be a bit hard to read in certain light. 2 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
