Madden 25 has finally brought back Team Builder, which allows you to create your own NFL team to use in the game. Team Builder is not a mode built into the game itself, but rather a website where you build your team. Then, you can download your team and import them into a new Franchise mode. In this Madden 25 Team Builder guide, we listed everything you need to know about the returning feature.
Madden 25 Team Builder Guide for Beginners
In order to use Team Builder in Madden 25, you must first sign in to or create your EA Account to access the Team Builder website. Note that at the time of writing, Team Builder remains in Beta form for now. Therefore, expect some technical hiccups and issues to occur.
How to create your own team in Madden 25 with Team Builder?
Simply head to the Madden 25 Team Builder website and press create after you sign-in. Once inside you'll be able to edit and customize almost every aspect about your franchise. The four main customization categories are:
- Brand – Team info, logos, color, apparel brand, fonts, and jersey numbers
- Uniforms – Home, Away, and Custom/Alternate uniforms
- Stadium – Crowd, field surface, field logo placement, end zones, numbers, benches, and stadium base
- Franchise – Playbooks, Presets & Rosters
Brand
In the Brand section, you edit informational details about your franchise. This includes team name, hometown, and logos, and more. You can either use pre-made logos from the developers, or upload your own created logos. However, created logos must not contain offensive content and must not come from copyright material. Furthermore, it must not contain any information about anyone.
If you decide to use your own logo, remove the background so the image is transparent. There are a number of websites and applications that provide this service for free.
Uniform
Every uniform set lets you customize helmets, jerseys, pants and socks. You'll also see the logos of your apparel brand on different sections of your jersey.
Note: This section, as well as Stadium and Franchise, might take the longest to work on. Therefore, make sure to use the SAVE button located to the right of the Franchise section. It's recommended you save often, especially with the website in beta form.
Stadium
The stadium section lets you choose one of six different default stadiums to work with. You can then change as much or as little as you want. From end zones and crowds to sidelines and benches, there's a lot to customize within your stadium. Therefore, take your time and make sure to save often.
Franchise
Lastly, Franchise lets you customize both your offensive and defensive playbooks. Furthermore, you can edit the roster of your team as well as player appearance. Once again, make sure to save and make life easier for yourself.
When you finally finish your team builder creation, check everything over again. Once you feel good about your team press submit to send them over to Madden 25. But how exactly do you import your Team builder team into Franchise?
