EA Releases College Football 25 Team Creator, Full Details on How to Get Custom Teams in Your Game

With College Football 25 set for general release on Friday, EA has released its promised Team Builder feature that will allow players to create their own custom teams.

EA detailed the new feature in a lengthy post, including how it incorporates substitutes, stadiums, and more. The team creation tools are accessible via a browser, with custom teams uploadable into the game. If you’re not feeling particularly creative, you can also upload creations made by your friends or other creators.

Custom teams are compatible with College Football 25’s Dynasty mode, meaning you can create your own school and turn it into a college superpower like Michigan or Georgia. Up to 16 custom teams can be imported per dynasty, where they will replace an existing team of the commissioner’s choosing.

Team Builder was a highly requested feature from fans, who fondly remembered it from previous iterations of the NCAA franchise. EA responded by going so far as to hire one of its original architects, senior engineer Chris Markuck, who returned to help lead the development of the Team Builder version of College Football 25.

According to Circana’s Player Engagement Tracker, as of July 17, EA Sports College Football ranked #3 in terms of daily active users in the US on Xbox Series (behind Call of Duty HQ and Fortnite) and #4 on PS5 (COD, Fortnite, and GTAV).

…and it’s still only in Early Access.

Phew.

College Football 25 is off to a very strong start, ranking #3 in daily active users in the US on Xbox and #4 on PS5. EA’s servers have been hit by a whopping 700,000 fans, with more expected once the game leaves Early Access. Feedback from fans has been mostly positive, though our current test is a bit more mixed on the experience.

“Right now, EA College Football 25 feels like a college quarterback who left school for the NFL too early, was drafted way higher than he should have because a team was desperate, started under the scrutiny of a fan base and ownership tired of losing all the time, and then got kicked out of the league because he just wasn’t ready for prime time,” we wrote.
