Totally agree! No reason for Mexico City, London or Dublin. I was hoping for louisville myself

? the NCAA teambuilder sound bank has over 3.500 team names in it and I believe they still add to it every year.

I'm not knocking EA for this mode as I said at least their trying, but when they're supposed "little brother" has a better create a team feature going on 5 years now it's just a little sad

Wow, that is pretty cool and will definitely be a small thing that will make a big difference.

Similar question but about the Vikings. I believe this is the last year in the Dome, and then they play 2014 and 2015 at TCF Bank Stadium before going to their new stadium in 2016. So will it be the same thing for the Vikings as the 49ers where the Vikings move to TCF Bank Stadium for Seasons 2 and 3 automatically followed by being in their new stadium by Season 4?

Great to see Owners mode coming back. While I would like for there to be more options, I'm good with the limitations/restrictions they have placed for the first year.

Personal wish list:

1) make all current NFL cities available for relocation should a team move. If the Jags move, Jacksonville opens up; etc.

2) "realignment" option. A cool feature that would make peoples franchises very unique and individualized.

Not a big fan of some of the cities, but hopefully they can tweak the list going forward. I'm already thinking about changes I'll be making. Keeping the division alignments in mind, my moves would be:

J-E-T-S - move to Brooklyn
Buffalo - Toronto
Jags - Orlando, Memphis, or stay put
Oakland - LA or Sacramento
Chargers- Sacramento or Salt Lake City..possibly Oklahoma City
St Louis - LA, Sacramento, Portland, SLC, or OKC

Haven't seen anything about that yet so I'm not sure. I'm guessing that since it is so far out probably not, but who knows they might have them play in the MetroDome for a few seasons and then switch to a new one in season 4 rather than have them switch twice but I'm not sure at this point.

Mine,

Giants to Brooklyn; they can bring the current uniform and logo, their stadium will be a Futuristic Deluxe Stadium obviously, haha. I feel like the Giants earned the right to be able to play in downtown New York as opposed to New Jersey haha. I hate everything about the Jets, the Jets can stay in Jersey ha.

Rams to LA; makes sense in any way you look at it haha. Their stadium is beat down, have history with the city, and its geographically closer for the NFC West ha. Bring their logo, their jerseys {Rams need to bring back to gold pants, their uni looks funny}, with a stadium downtown.

Bills to Toronto; I think this is just self-explanatory haha. Make pick up a new nickname, and just start over as a entirely new franchise pretty much. I wonder what some of the nicknames for Toronto might be.

Jaguars to Orlando; I would laugh hysterically if one of the nicknames for the Orlando team was Mickeys hahaha. I'd probably ditch the name Jaguars depending on what nicknames they have, cause Orlando Jaguars sounds kind of AFL/XFL like to me haha. Also depends on what their new uniforms look like in the game, especially that helmet LMAO!

Raiders New Stadium; indefinite of need of one. And let's be honest, the Raiders have some of the craziest fans, could say passionate. You just can't take that away from Oakland, S/O to the Bay Area haha. [sidenote] I heard some year ago, if you wanted to go to a Chargers game you had to buy 3 games cause I guess Raider fans would just go to the games and just heckle them, idk if its true or not but that's what pops said haha. {{I got moated/moded whatever that word is here}}

Vikings New Stadium; and make sure they have a roof. Nobody wants to play football in -7 weather, I don't know how the Twins do it... Target Center is a nice facility down there, I guess.. Twins just built a new stadium recently. And keep the NFC North geographically making sense... and moving them to Chicago would be stupid! {but could work because of how White Sox/Cubs} but no leave them in Minnesota

Chargers New Stadium; they don't need a move like relocation, like say a team like Buffalo or Jacksonville, they're doing fine in San Diego. With the Rams moving back to LA, you have 2 So. Cal and No. Cal teams...

I'm a dope owner haha

Isn't Golden St. building a new arena in Oakland, there you go, "add another one Goodell" haha.

No. Sadly, the Golden State Warriors are moving to San Francisco in either 2015 or 2016. Granted, it's basically across a river (like the New Jersey Nets to Brooklyn), but still.

No word yet on if they'll change the team name to San Francisco Warriors (which they have used before).

Just wanted to clarify that, being an NBA guy.

Wooooow that's a really big fail on my part haha.. I swear I knew that, oh well, gotta take an L for the team eventually in life.
