Hard to believe we are only a few weeks away from July 14th and the release of NCAA Football 10. Actually part of the game released back at E3 with the launch of the TeamBuilder website at http://teambuilder.easports.com and the site has just hit a major milestone with 100,000 teams created! It’s amazing the amount of work and detail that have gone into creating many of the teams. Pat yourself on the back for a job well done everyone.
The work on the TeamBuilder site has not stopped, we’ve been able to add a few features the community asked for as well as address some issues.
The biggest is the ability to knock out colors on your uploaded logos. So now a logo like this:

Can look like so by just removing the black background:

Basically it allows you to add transparency to a logo in the site itself instead of trying to do it on your own. Giving you helmets like so (much easier):

Also we’ve added the ability for you to save your team’s overview as an image by clicking the “Save as Image” link right above your field:

Which will give you the following type of breakdown:

These make it really easy to show off your team to friends without them needing to log onto the TeamBuilder site.
Then there were a number of small upgrades and fixes:
• Search results will now display 150 schools on your first search and will continue to fill in schools as you scroll through them.
• Fixed a bug with the roster cutting of the last player
• Fixed a bug with my schools link not working when browsing schools
• Fixed a bug with not being able to save schools with “&” in the name
• Fixed a crash when a school could not be found
And that is not all, the team is working on making the back button on your browser save your current state (so your team doesn’t get lost or messed up) and the ability to Bookmark teams to make it easier to find your favorite teams later.
It’s been a heck of a start for TeamBuilder; you’ll have all kinds of teams to choose from to start the NCAA Football 10 year off right. I’d like to thank you all for the feedback and the teams already created.
