Summary
- College Football 25's Team Builder offers advanced features and customization options for creating teams and uniforms.
- Teams can create custom logos, pick from three major brands for uniforms, and design up to five different uniforms.
- Team Builder also allows players to create stadiums and establish offensive and defensive schemes for immersive gameplay.
With the return of addition that may just make Madden obsolete. This is even more important due to the shortcomings the professional series has had in recent releases.
Team Builder returns with a similar structure as the past but with much more advanced features, given the technological developments since. However, the system also comes with some limitations. Teams can only be built on the website with an internet connection, though it does seem like plans for an offline app are in the works. Also, as of now, custom teams can only be used in private College Football 25 Dynasty seasons or the Play Now mode.
How To Use College Football 25's Team Builder
Creating A Team From Scratch
Luckily, College Football 25's Team Builder has plenty of creative freedom for players. To start, teams pick out their names, logos, and colors. The Team Builder supplies a good number of logos, but custom ones can be used if they are appropriate and follow proper copyright laws. Teams also pick one of three brands, Under Armour, Nike, or Adidas, and this will affect what options are given for uniforms.
The Team Builder app can be accessed on the EA Sports College Football 25 website.
Teams can then create five uniforms for use: Home, Away, and three alternates. Every uniform allows for the helmet, jersey, pants, and socks to be edited. The first step of this is color, in which Team Builder has extreme creative freedom to pick/create whatever color is desired. Then, the Jersey can be edited based on which brand was previously chosen. These options include minor changes like stripes, stitches, and orientation, but they can make a huge difference in bringing these creations to life.
Each part of the uniform also has layers that can be edited with logos, patches, or extra stripes. Each layer can be edited with the same advanced details as the rest of the uniform, removing the static feeling that would be present if this were not the case. Essentially, it would be extremely rare to see two jerseys that look the same as long as some effort was put into them. These types of options are huge changes that push Team Builder to a new level.
Building A Team's Stadium And Program In College Football 25
Create A Unique Home Field Advantage
College Football 25's Team Builder goes the extra step and allows players to create the team's stadium and program. Though the stadium part isn't as extensive as in other sports games, it still creates a sense of immersion. Players will pick one existing College Football stadium to be the base and then edit the field, sidelines, and what colors the crowd will wear. Even with the limitations, the amazing results for chaotically creative stadiums stand out.
The team's program is the most important part when it comes down to gameplay. Here, players will decide the offensive and defensive scheme of the team, and a base roster will be generated for it. This roster will be what anyone who uses the team will start with, but it can be changed through recruitment and pipelines in College Football 25. The scheme choices are player preference, but those who wish to see their creations used en masse will likely lean towards the game's most popular options.

College Football 25 Review: A Fresh Take Held Back By A Weird UI
College Football 25 is a largely successful return to the world of college football, held back from perfection by some clunky interface.
Overall, the Team Builder is a great addition to the title and, even at its foundation, is a significant feature. Its Beta status means that future changes could make it even better, and teams can still be edited once complete, so older creations won't fall behind. Also, it would certainly be great if the custom teams could be used in other places, like the always popular Ultimate Team mode. However, until any large changes like that are made, this is how the Team Builder application works in EA Sports College Football 25.
