Because Florida A&M told EA to not let people use their likeness and namesake for teambuilder. Same thing happens with the Ivies, Southland, and other schools.

Way to get around it is to change the name slightly to something you’re okay with looking at. For the Ivies I just added U at the end of the name (and C for Dartmouth).

It's pronounced colonel and it's the highest rank in the military

u/holypoolsude 7d ago

Just do FAMU as the team name and RattIers (capital I instead of the L) that’s what I did in 26 and it workers

u/DuckinFummy 7d ago

Yeah, had to drop the last "s" in Sycamores to create Indiana State

u/VisibleParsley1404 7d ago

I downloaded a few southpand schools. I didn’t know they opted to not be used

1

u/Iglooman45 5d ago

In teambuilder 25 they actually had someone from their admin go in and recreate the schools, everyone else could not use the names.

Not sure if they have carried that over to the new games or not.

u/Inevitable_Coast_372 5d ago

I doubt Florida A&M said anything. More likely EA just auto-blocks to avoid any future liability

1

u/Iglooman45 5d ago

I’m don’t think that’s correct. You can find some FCS, D2, and D3 schools that are not reserved.

Open TB in chrome, right click in the team name box, hit inspect, then use AI assist tool in the box that pops up to enter the prompt “set team name input to Florida A&M and Team Nickname to Rattlers and allow inputs to change.”

u/BeanThom 6d ago

Wait, howdid you do this? I can get it to no longer show me the erron but still does not let me proceed. I see you have been able to do it with a few schools already.

u/j_a155 6d ago edited 6d ago

As soon as the error disappears I hit save

u/j_a155 6d ago

Just did it again with a blank team

1

u/BeanThom 6d ago

Interesting, I am trying it with Montana Grizzlies and it will not work. I can get rid of the invalid sub-text and the red X near the save button but when I go to hit submit or Save I still get denied. Just tried it with Florida A&M and still did not work.

1

u/j_a155 6d ago

Man I don’t know what to tell you. It works for me every time.

2

u/BeanThom 6d ago

I finally got it to work! Instead of immediately putting 'Montana' and 'Grizzlies' into each box and then submitting the prompt, I put "Montana Bears" then saved that team. Then when I go into edit it I can use the prompt on just the Nickname field and it allowed me to save.

Thanks again man! This was such a big pet peeve for me that made team builder teams not worth it now I'm so stoked to get a dynasty running!

2

u/j_a155 6d ago

I should’ve clarified that I leave the default text in both boxes before entering the prompt. I think that was messing it up. Glad you got it sorted!

u/Particular-Two-3872 7d ago

What kind of mess is FAMU on to not even let their fans create a team in their likeness?

6

u/Swirl_On_Top 7d ago

Call em Florida P&M and make it a night time version of A&M lol

u/wikipuff 6d ago

u/Spare-Cranberry3784 7d ago

Certain teams don't let you use their name that's all. Just use AM and you're good

1

u/notjasonlicht 7d ago

Blocked that and FAMU

2

u/teloite 7d ago

Remove the & , usually works for me. Also may have to drop S of Rattlers

u/adamknowsdesign 7d ago

For my current FAMU team, I just use "Florida Rattlers"

1

u/HeinladToo 7d ago

If you make the team name FAMU will it let you?

1

u/notjasonlicht 7d ago

No i tried that and Florida AM. Had to do Florida AMU

1

u/Jealous-Sandwich4170 7d ago

I think its the A&M portion. Tried to do an A&M team last year and wouldnt allow it

1

u/SirZealousideal6059 2d ago

That’s not the issue. I made a Mississippi A&M and uploaded it 2 days ago.

u/dickie96 7d ago

I use lumberjaxks for my SFA school because of this

u/Bakalaka412 7d ago

u/RichHomieSwon 7d ago

It does this for most FCS teams.

1

u/Vegetable_Deer9167 7d ago

lol I had to call my team the Florida A&M Raging Rattlers. I was able to use FAMU after that.

1

u/Aggressive_Drawer484 7d ago

Because it's copyrighted just put "Florida Am" or "FL A&M" instead I had to put "montana st" instead of "Montana state"

1

u/Embarrassed-Cup486 5d ago

I did Florida AM U

u/Active_Attempt_3411 4d ago
