College Football 26 Team Builder Guide For Beginners

How to create your own Team in College Football 26
With College Football 26 Team Builder, you can create and edit almost every aspect of your team. The five main categories of customization include:
- Brand – School Info, Logos, Color, Apparel Brand, and Fonts
- Uniforms – Home, Away, and Alternate Uniforms
- Stadium & Field – Stadium Base, Crowd, Surface, Logos, end zones, numbers, sidelines, benches
- Program – Playbooks, Program Type, Rivalries, Recruiting Pipelines, My School Grades
- Roster – Presets, Player Abilities, Player Ratings, & more
Firstly, before you begin anything, keep in mind that you can save your progress as you build your team. Therefore, SAVE OFTEN so you do not lose your progress!
Brand
In the Brand phase, you edit your school’s information such as their team name, hometown, and more. You can use pre-made logos from EA Sports, or upload your own custom logos.
However, keep in mind that custom logos may not contain offensive language or copyright material. Furthermore, it also must not contain personal information of any kind. Fortunately, College Football 26 allows you to create your own logos or even use AI to create a new one.
When using your own logo, make sure to remove the image background and make your logo transparent. There are a number of websites and applications that do this for free.
Uniform
The uniform section lets you customize helmets, jerseys, pants, and socks. Depending on who you choose for your apparel brand, you’ll see their logo on different pieces of your Uniform. Take your time with this page, as there’s a lot of customizable options provided for you.
Stadium & Field
In the Stadium section, you can use various real or custom stadiums as a base. Customize it however you like, and make adjustments according to your specifications.
Program
The Program Page is where we really start to fill the serious details of your team. The first thing you’ll see on the top left side is your Strategy, where you pick both your offensive and defensive playbooks.
Under that section, you’ll pick your My School Program Type. Note that when you change your program type, your My School Grades change as well as your school’s Team Prestige. Take a look at each Program Type and find one that works for what you want.
Want a dominant school? Pick a Powerhouse program. Want a bad school with no reputation? Choose Fail U.
Beneath that section comes Rivalries. This year, players can now add up to 5 rivals for their schools, and edit things like:
- Rivalry history
- head-to-head record
- Current Winning Streak
Lastly, you can edit your program’s Recruiting Pipelines. You can also edit the tier of your recruiting pipeline, helping you secure who you want. Is there a five-star recruit in Alabama you really want? Customize your Alabama pipeline tier and get to recruiting!
Roster
Finally, we come to Roster. This will likely take the longest out of all sections, especially if you want to customize all players. Overall, this page allows you to edit almost everything about a player. From their bio, appearance, weight, height, ratings, abilities, Archetype, grade, and much more, you can customize the entire roster to your liking.
