NCAA Football 10: What is Teambuilder?

The NCAA Football 10 dynasty video that went up yesterday displayed the menu screen which includes a mode called Teambuilder. Probably the two most frequently requested features from the community have been for the return of Create-A-School and FCS. It has widely been expected that at least one, but probably not both, would make it in this year.

At this point it is just speculation but Teambuilder representing what has been known as Create-A-School certainly makes sense. It would be easier to market as a new feature by giving it a new name. The concern would be that there was nothing evident in the video during dynasty creation of a way to import a created team.

Also displayed is Road to Glory, which appears to be a re-branded Campus Legend. This sounds like a name that works for the individual career mode in any game. Similar to how EA Canada has its Be a Pro across all its titles, I wouldn’t be surprised to see Road to Glory as Tiburon’s with Superstar in Madden 10 receiving the new name as well.

I dunno I think the fact that you can build custom conferences pretty much ensures that if in fact that is create a team then we will be able to take those teams in our online dynasties.

I can't wait for this game. Online Dynasty made this game last year. Hopefully Madden 10 comes out with online franchise because I stopped playing madden recently because of dc glitch and qb walk. Playing unranked isn't fun when kids quit. I was in a league that we just finished. I hope Ncaa 10 and Madden 10 have better animations for tackling. Also, i hope ncaa 10 will have celebrations for champion teams. I would rather have FCS schools instead of TEAM BUILDER. Most important take out the waste of space that you call a new feature every year MASCOT game

Pasta create a school??? come on what am i 5 years old!! What am i going to create….Pasta university??? We want real fcs schools not create a school. I'd pay the extra money for fcs schools if its a cost issue.

Shomari

dude…I could care less about SWAC, MEAC, Ivy League, and Patriot Schools.

I personally want to go back to the days where the University of Alaska, home of the Fighting Penguins (which I always put in the coldest city possible) dominated on the snow-capped fields against inferior Pac-10 talent.

I love customized games!!! Go Penguins!

Come on EA this should have been in the second next-gen version of NCAA. I still haven't heard what I want to hear or read from EA reguarding gameplay fixes and presentation. Yea I'm going to keep screaming about that until I see some significant changes. I mean the game is only a couple of months away and its time for more idfo instead of what we are getting now. Are they waitng for E3 to announce something, I know I'm beating a dead horse here but I wanna know before I have to spend $60+ on a game that's lacking substance .

Shomari

just wondering, what gameplay fixes are you most concerned about?

for me its the ability to get to the QB with a defensive lineman

Dre

What you just said about DL getting to QB, the stiff arm issue make the power and finesse moves actually work amonh some of the things

Shomari

well, if it's any consolation…I have NEVER been able to get off a block with either power or finesse moves without tweaking sliders.

Dre

Same here thats why they need to be fixed. But the sliders themselves are also broken because even though you set the cpu FG down to zero they are still able to kick 50+ yard FG's.The blocking scheme could use work. If you have a lead blocking player he would leave the defender closest to him or you and engage a player not even close to the play.

I just hope EA fixes the single player dynasty regarding conferences. I hated the fact that traditional conference teams were booted (i.e. Nebraska ended up in the MAC in year four of my dynasty….NEVER HAPPEN!)

We all know that FCS isn't in again. Create-a-school is the only possibility, but I'm even skeptical of that being in. As mentioned there was no sign whatsoever of being able to import or load a team into a new Dynasty from that video.

Shomari

you speaking of online or in general?

Just because it wasn't highlighted in that video doesn't mean it's not going to be in the game. Why would they highlight a feature they haven't even announced yet?

I would love Create-A-Team. I'm from the southern part of minnesota where Minnesota State University Mavericks are. It would be awesome to send the Mavs to the BCS Championship!

Amen I'm crossing my fingers for create a school being back in the game. its one of the most important features to me that the game has been missing ever since the beginning of next gen.

I couldn't care less about a Create-A-School feature… I'd like playing some Ivy league games, though.

WHATAP

They need to come up with a CAS where your given a point system and have so many points that you have to strategically place in say 2 different categories…1) stadium, and 2) 55 man roster. You have the ability to totally customize the style of play of your team. The bigger/taller a player is in certain positions the costlier it will be. When all is said and done you port it to online mode where you take your created team online to face hundreds of thousands of other gamers who have done the same thing. You gain/earn points for wins, and other such milestones and can improve/develop your players. Thats the kind of CAS that would turn peoples heads. It would give all the serious football/sports fans who feel they know they're philosophies(spread offense, or a strong defense, or special teams) gives them the best chance to win. Imagine all the different matchups that could occur.

I am praying they have Create- A- School. On NCAA Football 2003-2007 I loved that feature with the Fort Valley State Wildcats. They are a HBCU in Division II. So I know having them reign supreme would be fun.

What about a more realistic campus legend with athletes playing WR/DB or OL/DL in the high school games (which was a great addition) and if you play DB better the more elite teams would offer you a scholarship to play DB but if you are sold on playing WR you could sign with a lower caliber team……. or maybe the option to do kick/punt returns…….lets bring back the athletes in high school like Bo Jackson; he would run the ball, play linebacker, return kicks, kick field goal, and he was even the neighborhood babysitter LET ME KNOW WHAT YOU THINK
