IGN has released an article that goes over in more detail the Teambuilder mode that was revealed yesterday and shown at the EA Sports Preview Event. This mode takes the basic create-a-school to another level. Check out the full article here.

This week in New York City EA Sports revealed TeamBuilder, a reworked Create-a-School feature that incorporates new technology and mechanics to bring your created squad into NCAA Football 10. Cooler still is the fact that fans of the collegiate videogame series will be able to create their dream program well before the game hits store shelves.

In conjunction with ncaaStrategies we will have a video interview with NCAA Football 10’s Ben Haumiller about both Teambuilder and Season Showdown on Monday when the embargo lifts.

Pasta,
Will you be able to create your own player and add them to your created team or will it be off the template shown on the ign video?

REDMOND IV

This is the best feature NCAA has ever had. It really is frustrating that EA did not include it for the past few years. Hopefully with this create your own logo option create a school will finally live up to its full potential. I hope that you can choose from every jersey pattern (Miami, Cal, etc.). I am a little discouraged by the one tone numbers in the preview. Madden has suffered the last two years from this and a lack of true jersey customization options. Maybe EA should take a page out of the Gameday 2004 playbook. I am glad to see a little more depth, but am still a little weary. When does the website go live?

Dre

Its confirmed Matt Stafford is the number 1 pick of the NFL draft to the Detroit Lions

Guru

get ready for another 5 years of mediocrity then. much, much smarter to have gone with an O tackle here, then get Freeman later

Cons1

smart choice is with j.smith. i dont think stafford is a mature leader-type player like m. ryan was when he got drafted. i still think stafford is going to be a good nfl starter though

Badgerboy 21

pasta- any word on progressive lighting in the game this year?

Berad88

This feature would be cool if you could replace those generic FCS teams with actual FCS teams.
If you can't then this feature does not serve much of a purpose to me.

S. Lightning

Luckily, this is exactly what Teambuilder can do.

Mo Diddley

Time to strike fellas! Who's wit me?

The EA reign needs to be dethroned and come back down to earth

I got the attention of 2 states representatives already

Sidewinder

Mo since you come here all the time I may as well let you know that I can put you in touch with some family if you need any help getting sober or layin of the coke.

Big Dogg

you are a liar no representative would listen to bull like that. Why do you even come on this website. Shut Up.

Dre

Pasta do you know whether or not if the composure rating for the other team is back. I mean I want to know how my team is doing, but I want to see how my home field advantage is rattling the opposite teams players. They did it for the PS2 version and you were able to exploit the other teams defense or offense. I want to know before I waste another $64.00 for the gam.

Jameyan Smith

How will you be able to upload your team to the actual game itself?

Shomari

they're will be a page "teambuilder.easports.com" that will be available where you can sign in and start uploading your original content.

Click the link that pasta posted, it explains everything.

Mike

How are we to build our team before the game is released??? I don't understand that at all.

Shomari

When the website is live you can go in and start developing your logos and such. For example, I'm going to create my high school and I've already got my two PNG files formatted correctly.

Dre

So you already have all your roster and uniforms and such planned out. I'm going to see how the feature is before I post what I plan to do.

Shomari

My roster is the best player per position when I was in high school. That's the easiest part of the deal for me. The logos I have been collecting since this news broke, and I went to IGN and they said you need a 256x256 PNG file that needs to be converted to a 128x128 PNG file. So basically, I have about 4-5 pictures that are ready to go!

I LOVE NCAA FOOTBALL!!!

Dre

I agree to me it's better overall then the NO.Fun.League. But wow you went the extra mile with this one. I just hope that EA finally decides to do away with the useless Campus Legend mode. Its just a College version of Head Coach and I for one hate it. Pasta you have to tell the fine folks at EA to remove this feature since its taking up ram space for a decent Dynasty mode.(Sorry about that Shomari I just had to get that rant out.)

Shomari

yes, I'm a college football nerd...ever since I played Bill Walsh College Football I've been hooked on the sport.

I agree with you as far as Campus Legend goes. IF they overhaul it and make it worth playing then, I'm ok with it taking up space. However, if they spent that space in expanding the Dynasty mode (stadium upgrades, coordinators, facilities, etc) then I say scrap CL mode.

Dre

That's what I'm saying as of now it taking up precious space that could be used to expand the Dynasty mode to make it better, and if EA goes back to the old formula where I am GOD over the entire team like the last-gen version allows you then I have no problem with it.

dburba

Well I know how I'm spending the next month.

BrownsBoy315

My god, you guys who think this is the final build are really not smart. There is NO way it is the final build.

^--- There is no way that is Pasta, it doesn't have his little icon BTW

UWDawgTX

Pasta,

Will you have any ratings for us on monday?

Shomari

I've never understood the whole rating fascination. I always change the ratings when I get the game. Am I unique in this?

Sidewinder

I guess it's more for the people who play online. In ranked online matches, you have to play with the default ratings, so it could impact what team you choose.

UWDawgTX

I change the ratings some, just not a bunch. I was currious more as a benchmark. Like I was wondering which guys were the 99's. It's something to tie me over for three months.

Pastapadre

Well I was going to mention it on Monday but I asked about the potential of cheating with team ratings. The commish controls what teams are imported into the dynasty. So they can deny teams with pumped up ratings if they want from entering

pastapadre

this was me I was posting from my phone

DrLogic

Team Builder looks like a heaven sent dream, although the game play itself did look a lot like NCAA 09. Can someone explain to me why of all the EA sports franchises, the NCAA series seems to be the most consistently ground breaking year after year this generation?

Guru

And with the amount of teams/stadiums it has to have incorporated every year, its a joke that Madden cant at least keep up. It would appear it takes less game code to input, so therefore it should have more.

bux

thats my problem with Madden... I havent played Madden in 2 years, and I love pro ball or than college... its just, college is just better to me. Like Madden is all pumped about having Wildcat formation in the game LOL. Ronnie Brown has been running that for 2 years, and Josh Cribbs for years for the Browns. In college you can put multiple people at different positions, its a video game for gods sake... Mix it up. Thats why I liked it when 2k was in comp w/ them, it made them better. Madden 07 is Madden 08, 09... and it looks like 10 also. They need to get with the makers of college LOL, they get it

bux

now thats my problem, i dont know about that crap... everyone will 99 every player.

Guru

Exactly, there should be some sort of point limit.....that you can only max out every player to about 80-85....that would be the best thing to do

Dre

I'm thinking there will be a limit on how ur players are rated when you create a team for the online dynasty. I doubt they let everyone have players all rated 99.

bux

perfect point, 85 even 90... but i know people i am in a online dynasty with will go hog wild and make all skill position players 99. thats my problem with it

Guru

good point.

COLTS!!!!!!!STEELERS

Well if they do that than just don't let them in ur OD.
