Could NBA Live 14 unveil "Gameface" and "Teambuilder"?

[Hiteshom]

In recent years EA Sports has come out with new ways to make their games more realistic and get the PC community to get involved with “Gameface” and “Teambuilder” These are simple online tools that allow you to create a team/player through online share and the pc,

Teambuilder is for NCAA Football since 2010 and hasn’t grown since then, Here is a video to help you get more of the gist of what it is.

It allows you to upload a custom logo to the team you are creating, and then create custom jerseys, players, fields, and skill levels. You then just import this into NCAA Football and it is in the game. This feature mixed with Gameface can really allow unlimited customization.

Gameface originated with Tiger Woods 2011 I believe but has grown so much since then. It’s gone to Madden, to Fifa, and to “Grand Slam Tennis” It is essentially the same thing as teambuilder except that it is a PC cyberface creator. It just takes two, (Or One if you don’t want the best results possible) Pictures, and creates a “Gameface” For you which you can import into any of these games, and essentially play with yourself. Here is a video as well to show you what you can do with it.

Um wow, um ok, I thought people would like this idea, because it would help EA in the customization department so much.

Gameface has been on the NLSC wishlist since it was first used in Fight Night Round 4 in 2009, and before then when Live 2000 and 2001 had it on PC.

Teambuilder was mentioned before as well, but that has only existed recently, considering NBA Live hasn't had a create a team at all since 2001 on PS1 iirc, 2000 on PC.

We know they have the technology, they know they have the technology, but with the focus on just putting a game out to release and creating another "foundation" game, I wouldn't expect any fancy features like this.

Agreed. A good move, but I doubt it's a priority at the moment and understandably so. I think anyone interested in customising their game would certainly welcome it.

[Hiteshom]

What I really think they'll do is simply add easy features like these to make their game look more appealing without taking a ton of time to make something else.

[Andrew]

They aren't necessarily easy features to implement, there's still a lot that goes into them to make them work. I guess there's a chance that we see these features in the game since they do have the tech already, but with everything else they're trying to do, it's something that might have to wait until NBA Live 15.
