It has been almost exactly a week since the EA Sports College Football 25 game was released to the public to much fanfare after 11 years without a new version. The excitement surrounding the game has not waned in any way with social media full of fans revealing aspects of the game still being discovered.
In the previous versions of the game not handcuffed by NIL restrictions, gamers could edit and create players, a feature locked in the current version, restricted to the real players who opted into the game. Rosters will be updated as the season progresses alongside patches being introduced.
Players can edit aspects like the physical attributes of players, names and positions but can't edit faces and numbers.
College Football gives update on Team Builder
The fans who ordered the deluxe version of the College Football 25 game did not get Team Builder which came in later with the standard release but after July 19, all fans had it available.
Fans will be able to indulge their creative sides in Team Builder during Dynasty Mode and will be able to either upload their own logos or use the generic logos provided in the game.
There will be three types of logos: the primary logo, which players will use during games in Dynasty Mode, and the secondary and tertiary logos, which will appear on the team's uniforms and fields.
“Create your own college football program with customization tools on the Team Builder website,” EA previously wrote about Team Builder. “Design uniforms, helmets, fields, and upload your own logo. You can then upload your program to use in Play Now and Dynasty.”
Players will get the option of choosing their favorite apparel giant to design their uniforms (Nike, Adidas or Under Armour). The uniform stash will include five pairs of pants, socks, jerseys and helmets giving fans a possible 625 uniform combinations to use.
Fans will also have creative freedom in designing their home stadium including aspects like sidelines, benches and crowd among others. This will include renaming one of the existing 134 stadiums in the FBS division.
The EA Sports College Football blog expounded on the aim behind giving fans so much scope to create in Team Builder.
“When developing Team Builder, our goal was to give fans the freedom to bring their creativity to life and share their passion and designs with the community,” EA said in its release. “In order to facilitate this, we knew that we had to offer you the ability to bring your creations to life with deep customization while building an experience that matched what we set up to do.
“This goal meant we needed to lean into a more robust toolset for a web-based solution that gave fans as much freedom for creation and customization as we could build.”
The EA Sports College Football 25 game is turning out to be a treasure trove for fans who have waited all those years for the game and will get to indulge all of their creative fantasies in the wide confines of the game.
