NCAA Team Builder

Anyone else here play video game football?

While the new version doesn't have FCS teams, the Team Builder feature is powerful. I was able to recreate a pretty authentic (visually at least) version of EWU with their tooling. I'm looking to download the rest of the Big Sky to put into a dynasty and was curious if anyone had recommendations for a well-done Montana team to include. And if there aren't any great ones out there... Well I might just have to create one myself.

Any other well done Big Sky recommendations would be very much welcomed from other non-Montana fans on this board.

Thanks, I better get on that. I noticed they have some restrictions in place. Like if I tried to name my team E. Washington (not enough space for the full Eastern Washington) it says the name is "reserved" and the same thing if I tried putting in Montana Grizzlies.

Either EA is overly cautious about legal disputes (I had to butt heads with their legal team when I worked there and it wasn't fun) or maybe there are plans to include FCS teams since a bunch of them were posting teasers about NCAA football a few months back on twitter. The developer blogs mentioned a focusing on developer tooling which gives me some hope there...
 

These are all the teams I have finished so far. I just got Weber done as well, so just Idaho State to finish the Big Sky and the four Dakota schools.
My son downloaded the Griz, can'ts, and NAU (where he goes to school). He plays NAU with hopes to take over the Griz one day. Put the Griz in a minor conference to dominate, and MSU in the SEC to get pounded week after week! hahahaha. He even scheduled the Cats week2 and put it to them for fun. Good times when he called me into the room to show me
 
Much appreciated on sharing some additional team downloads. I filled out the Big Sky, but it was a pretty wide range of quality... and EA's team builder search mechanism definitely does not want to make finding real teams easy lol. I'm going to check them out and likely redownload several teams.

I thought rosters could be edited within the game, though I know there's a ton of restrictions for the real-life players. Both consoles do support mouse/keyboard as inputs should developers want (the title I'm working on now does this) and I think they also accept keyboard input for their text input dialogues even if the title doesn't support mouse/keyboard input.

My only real complaint is we're limited to just 10 custom asset uploads. I'm working on a throwback EWU series (early 2000's, 90's, and 80's) and I'd love to have that as part of my "main" EWU team. Team Builder, despite some of the jank (typical for game dev tools) is actually a very powerful tool once you figure out the quirks.

A couple weeks ago I was pretty disappointed at the lack of quality options for Idaho so I just created one myself. Part of it was that I had to have the stripes on the shoulders and nobody had created a uniform with them, which did require a custom art asset.

I downloaded all of the Big Sky teams in addition to the Dakota schools and UNI. Gus did a fantastic job in creating the teams.

If you are looking for them to download, go to team builder, then click Y to search and enter in MontanAAfootball in the username slot to search and download the teams.

If you came across a football player with no arms and no face do we bother resuscitating them? I mean what kind of quality of life do we have there?

Especially if they are in an Idaho jersey?

Yeah, I think that has to be a statutory DNR.
