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.

 

Chrome has been, in my experience, very over-employed.  I wish there were more varieties of texture for things like the helmets and numbers, but alas, EA.

 

Also you'll want to up your difficulty, lol.

Oh shoot, I should've looked closer!

Is there a way to copy the home look over to the away uniform? I know you can do it to alternate jerseys.

Not that I've found.  Super annoying.

No. Even if the only difference is the shirt color.

For those asking about gradients. 

[CS85]

Anyone have any luck making anything go in the armpit/side panel of the jersey?

I’ve been in the r/Teambuilder25 subreddit, and people have been posting art assets for fields, helmets, and even pieces for certain jersey templates.

 

So far, I’ve been enjoying the feature, even though it is a tedious process, in regards to the time it takes.

 

 

 

Made a Rose Bowl themed helmet specifically for the occasion.

Looks like they've fixed uniform accessories as well.

Previous UA team with Nike accessories:

Current (Both teams wearing the correct accessories):

Reportedly this is a workaround for alternate uniforms if you want to change the undershirts. I will try to see if this works later on today.

For those wanting to place your own field designs on here. IT might be a good workaround if you have a lot of custom sleeve and pant stripes and still wanted to have an end zone design that isn't just what they offer here. I'll try it with one of the teams I created earlier. Some people have even done this to include soccer field lines and word marks outside the field of play. 

 

NOTE: It looks like you will still need to add the end zones separately due to spacing issues, but the rest of the field as one layer will save you space should you need to add anything other than the end zones afterwards. It will also take up at most two slots instead of multiple slots if you choose to go that route. At least that's how it worked for me. Changing the size of the PNG to 1024x512 may help, I have kept most files at 1024x1024 except for the end zones.

Madden 25 Team Builder will release tomorrow evening. 

[MJWalker45]

Tried creating a team and can tell you the difference between CFB and Madden.

 

Madden 

5 logos, that's all.

If you picked "Right Sleeve", it means far right chest. So adding a sleeve pattern other than the options they give, isn't happening.

6 stadiums, all generic. No option to use a NFL stadium instead.

11 layers on the pants, for some reason.

Only Nike numbers and letters available. 

Nike logo only on the front of the jersey where the relocation teams have their logo instead. Not sure why they weren't put on the shoulder or sleeve instead.

Both builders give you a total of 5 uniform options. If you're wanting to add a custom helmet stripe, it's the same rules as CFB25. 

 

It seems the intent was to keep the majority of people who want to be creative as possible on the CFB25 servers instead of moving over to Madden. With no ability to customize the sleeves, it makes things difficult for some people. You also have to decide what elements are most important with 5 logos instead of 10.

[MJWalker45]

So I was incorrect, it is posible to add custom items to the sleeves, it's just a bit more work. When you tell the logo to go to the sleeves, the size and location goes from default to the largest for Left/Right and smallest size for Down/Up. So to place the logo on the sleeves, you just need to click on the center points on both sections.

Once it's ceentered you can then resize it to fit as needed.

I threw together a made up team from Northern California and I was very pleased with how they turned out.

Does anyone know if Teambuilder works on the PS4 version of Madden? I don't have a next gen console, but my PS4 could be put to good use.

I've all but given up on this site.

Every custom logo I try to upload ends up showing up like this (in this case trying to create my TNFF team):

 

I've tried different browsers, I've made sure to match the file type and size (PNG and under 512 KB). I don't know what I'm doing wrong. 

 

Any suggestions before I give up for good?

Chrome has been the only browser that's worked for me.  I'd check that all extensions like adblockers/etc are disabled.
