Build Your Dream School in CFB25's Team Builder

Start building your dream college football team with College Football 25's Team Builder. This tool lets you customize every aspect of your school, from team uniforms to stadium design, creating a unique and competitive atmosphere.

Craft Your School's Identity

The initial public image and ethos of your team are defined by brand creation. Your school is named, and a location is selected, and you also choose a mascot which can energize fans and intimidate rivals. You are given a choice between using a pre-made logo or uploading a custom design, allowing a spectrum of creativity, from traditional to novel aesthetics. Uploading a custom logo allows you to uniquely represent your school’s spirit and culture; however, you must adhere to copyright rules—meaning unauthorized logos, symbols, or offensive content cannot be used. This phase is focused not so much on visual representation as on crafting an identity that your team’s values and the larger community spirit resonate with, ensuring every element from the mascot to the logo aligns with the school’s ethos and compliance standards.

Customize Team Uniforms

Customized team uniforms bring your school's spirit to life visually. This phase allows the deep customization of helmets, jerseys, and pants, each with layers of options for colors and textures that can reflect school traditions or a modern aesthetic. You select an apparel brand like Adidas, Nike, or Under Armour, which not only adds a layer of professional authenticity but also influences the style and cut of the uniforms, with each brand bringing unique design elements to the table. For example, you might choose Nike for its cutting-edge, lightweight materials or Adidas for its classic, durable designs that stand the test of time. The ability to layer colors and logos and even tweak designs for special game days or playoffs allows teams to have unique identifiers that fans and players alike can take pride in.

Design the Home Stadium

In College Football 25's Team Builder, you are allowed to create a home field that not only looks visually impressive but also enhances the game-day experience for fans and players. You select a base model from existing stadiums, which you then rename and remodel to match your school's spirit and needs. This includes adjusting the stadium’s seating capacity to accommodate expected crowd sizes, impacting game-day revenue and atmosphere. You customize the crowd atmosphere; choosing the colors the crowd wears and adjusting the density of these colors across different sections of the stadium creates visually striking patterns in the stands, like coordinated color waves or blocks, which enhance televised appearances and boost team morale.

Set Up Your Team Roster

You manage your team in a detailed and strategic phase where the core competencies and style of play are established. Your players' physical attributes such as height, weight, speed, and strength are meticulously adjusted, which can influence their performance on the field. Skill ratings, crucial for how players perform during games, are set by you, from accuracy in passing to effectiveness in tackles. You also select playbooks that define your team’s playing style, choosing specific offensive and defensive strategies that align with your coaching philosophy and the talents of your roster.

Integrate Your Team Into the Game

After the detailed setup of your team and stadium, your creations are brought to life within College Football 25. You immediately test your team’s prowess in the "Play Now" mode, a straightforward option for quick games that allows you to see how your team performs against others.
