Shame that this series didn't do as well as GRU, the teambuilder ones are so much more fun to watch than normal rebuilds since we can get attached to players
@@itsmejayfreeI found him after he had already finished Grand Rapids, so I can't say for certain. But the views on it are way more than this one. Though it's also been up for months. Best guess is GR was doing better than this one week to week
I don't get it man. Looking at the views, the first video in this series was your most viewed video in the last month(since imperialism). The other videos view's are in line with most of your others as well. This is easily your best content. The videos did not under perform enough to warrant this "cancellation" in my opinion.
I might've panicked in the moment and made a mistake, and if so I'll own up to it + learn from it. From my experience though, each episode will under perform the next by a significant margin. If I let it play out until an ep 7 or 8, the views would've been very below channel averages. Both 2 and 3 were already a 10/10 (on pace to be worst performing in past 10 videos)
@BordeauxYT respect bro. Gotta go what you gotta do! I just personally like the "series" type of videos, it's like a TV show. Get a new episode every Friday, and it's something to get invested in ya know?
@@BordeauxYTit’s easy to get shaken up but you gotta remember with any series there will always be a little of a trickle off, that’s normal as one episode builds in the other some people aren’t gonna finish the series, happens to everyone be it small channels or massive web series but the numbers are doing just fine I don’t see a need to panic
Hey James, Hope you're doing well! I wanted to bring something to your attention that I think your platform could really help with. A lot of Madden 25 players, including myself, have been experiencing constant crashes in Superstar Mode. Despite several updates from EA, the issue persists, and it's been really frustrating for the community. It feels like EA is ignoring the problem, and we’re not seeing any real resolution even after numerous patches. I know you have a huge influence on the gaming community, and it would be great if you could shed some light on this issue. A lot of fans are struggling with it, and your voice could help get the message across to EA that this needs to be fixed. Thanks for taking the time to read this, and keep up the great content!
One of the reasons is that the game is available for everyone so more people are playing, but give yourself more credit. We all have the game now and making our own seasons but are still loving to watch your stories. Salud!!
I love the series I’m sad to see it end, BUT I’d love to see it in the cfb offseason too cus it gives me episodic videos to watch and we get to grow with the players and even if you “expand the stadium” redoing the team with a bigger stadium. Love recruiting aswell bringing bigger and bigger recruits every year but eventually you do run out of things to do. Maybe starting in a low conference then moving up could help add depth but you do what you do best and aslong as you make videos I’ll watch them!
No need to apologize dude. This series was awesome. Appreciate you and everything you do for all of us. You are definitely part of what makes both EA CFB 25 and college football awesome.
Love these longer rebuilds, i hate that its not doing well for you but ive watched every second. Hope you can find the time to do more if these in the future
What about fully random conferences and doing a random school selection? If you can edit rosters - do a full CFB reset to where every school has the minimum overall (walk-ons). Would be an entire NCCAF rebuild instead of just one school!
Thank you for the videos, make sure you're enjoying the games/series yourself. My 2 cents, winning is inevitable. Straight rebuilds or team builder teams never fail. There is not much suspense. I started following you from a challenge video. I think you should consider adding challenges to your videos. Play Colorado but Travis Henry has to win both an offensive and defensive award to succeed. Play as Michigan but you need to have the #1 defense. I remember you did a rebuild but with only 1 player per state. I personally enjoy videos with a challenge. Keep up the great work!
Sad that this one is over. My theory as to why it may not have done as well as GRU, the lack of a generic/custom stadiums. GRU had that charm because it could have its own look that helped push the storyline along. Having the Hulu partnership as part of the story really gave that series its own personality, and this one didn’t have that to the same level. I still enjoyed this teambuilder though, I’ll be here for when you do the next one.
I hope in college football26 I would allow to tamper with other teams players and commit recruiting violations. Like I want my coach to be a complete menace
i think a cool idea is with every custom team youve made from ncaa14 to here put them all in and selecting one to play and build their team using that challenge. Like the Alaska team one
I'm not sure how it would work for the main channel but I've personally really enjoyed the East Carolina and the much more laid back vibe to that series. It feels less like its trying to be a Mock TV series of sorts on a team and more a guy playing a football game and being entertaining which is what I think of from YT Content. I get that the second channel is the less serious channel, but if like you said you want to trial things on the second channel I think this could be a interesting thing to try out. Also, as for this series' moderate success I think a lot of it simply has to do with it feeling less like the journey of a team and more of a longer version of the other rebuilds; with a concept that isn't particularly distinctive from taking a random smaller school. Although I did enjoy this series, if you weren't feeling it I'm sure that would've shown in the final product and made it a worse/less interesting watch so it was a good call to end it here.
Don’t get too down. I watch pretty much every video of yours and I mostly enjoy them. I watch, listen during work and the length is perfect. Many people enjoy your videos as well, check the comments. I could do better as well, be more cognizant to like the videos.
If you do this again I think you need to change the rules to 3 of the same play and go up 2 speeds on coach progression that way the program develops faster. the reason people lost interest is we weren't seeing a large amount of progress from episode to episode. faster coach leveling fixes that and almost everyone I know hated the 1 play rule.
man i love your rebuilds. i’ve been locked in since episode 1. i hope you do another team builder team, ill be tuned in from the start. keep doing what you doing‼️
Hearing you explain why you are discontinuing it and it being because you want it to be perfect for the fans show how much you care for the community we love you bordeaux ❤
I really wish you would continued this series, I don't watch much RUclips but I always looked forward to your uploads of this rebuild. I hope you continue them.
No, thank YOU for bringing us all great content! I still remember finding your channel a few years ago while just trying to help time pass while working at home and in the office and I've been hooked ever since. I get pumped whenever I see you drop a new video to watch. So again, thank YOU for all of your content and I hope to continue seeing more videos ❤
I think the big reason why this isn't doing as well as it should is that the platform is over-saturated with team builder dynasties. At that point, you're competing to have a niche, and episodes that are whole seasons will be at an inherent disadvantage. So you're competing both within the team builder dynasty niche and the season-long episode niche, which naturally means that people wanting shorter-form content, both within it not being a series and within people wanting short episodes, just won't watch the videos. Then there will be part of the viewer-base that needs to watch the episodes in chunks due to time constraints. Keep in mind that it isn't exactly your fault. It's simply something that you need to be ready to accept will happen. I don't mind longer videos within a series but it also makes it hard for me to stay caught up due to time. I didn't fully watch this until I was caught up with NTE's Pandas while watching in chunks.
Elite series, thank you for giving us an ending. No idea why it didn’t do as well as you hoped, one thing is maybe not having a crazy ‘thumbnail worthy’ QB recruit etc.
No clue if you're gonna see this, but it would be so cool to see you put like 100 college football players into a last-man standing competition with rounds that eliminate various players until one is left standing.
Recording at 4 am?! Your good man your content is good also don't try and rush to make vids for use your mental health matters too but still make content just don't record if your tired people will understand also w series
I enjoyed the series but a rebuild like this would definitely become long-winded. One thing that would help speed it up a bit is removing the 3 star or lower requirement for recruits at the beginning. It's cool looking through a Signing Day and see some crappy team with the 74th best class in the country picked up a 5 star quarterback. Sometimes just one player is all you need to get that kick start.
Overall I love this series and its sad to see it end, personally I like it when you give us insights in to your life, like you're filming it at 4 am or watching it during a kentucky game
I really liked this series. I love seeing all the plays because it helps develop those storylines for individual players. I think that if you did this series again it would be cool to put a school in a place like London, Ohio or Paris, Texas because just having that as the schools name might draw a lot of people in
Definitely loved the Grand Rapids series. I feel like the sliders you started out with on that series made things super difficult for you. So many missed tackles and no interceptions. It was nice to be able to see this team progress faster. Having a team in Wisconsin for team builder would be a great idea I think.
It's sad to see this series not go as well as GRU. Im a huge fan of the Southern Kentucky series . 😢 maybe people would want a reboot of GRU. 😮. Id riot if people wouldn't want to see that .
I loved this team builder series but I understand the hectic-ness of doing so much content in a week. I do like the way you handled this though, honestly and classy. Keep up the good vids
I enjoyed the series. I am one of those people that would watch every episode no matter how it was performing but I understand that youre looking out for performance on the channel as well.
So, basically, "I'm not making enough money off of this." 😂 We enjoy any series. I think most people just don't like having to wait for episodes. People like binge watching these days. So, if you release an entire series at one time, even if it was like 9 hours long, I think it would do better than an episode style. Maybe not. Might be something to try on the second channel. Personally, my least favorite is the imperialism videos. As a fellow Kentucky fan, I literally watch the first two minutes of those videos until you get Kentucky eliminated and I go find something else to watch 😂
It sucks this series has to end I was really looking forward to this after watching the GRU series. But hey you gotta do what’s best for the channel. Hopefully later on we can get another series like this.
You should do wheel spin rebuild challenges. Spin the wheel to see how many 5 star recruits you can even go after. Spin to see how many games you can jump in on. Spin to see how many players you have to redshirt. Etc. Could be difficult but the randomness could keep ot from being stale.
Dope you finally win the natty in my home stadium i literally stay like 10 mins from the cardinals stadium so that was pretty cool way to end this series off 💯🙌🏽 keep up the good work man looking forward to all your future videos !
Thank you all for all the support as always
YESSSS IVE BEEN WAITING FOR
Still waiting for the Virgin rebuild w 0 stamina
Alright! That should be better than the last one
Next team builder vid do a montana team in the mountain west
I hope you bring Grand Rapids back for your team builder series next
Shame that this series didn't do as well as GRU, the teambuilder ones are so much more fun to watch than normal rebuilds since we can get attached to players
I will give it another shot later on for sure, I love filming them
@@BordeauxYT Next one should be in Montana and the Mountain West
You should rebuild WVU mmg did it but he didn’t do us justice
@@jacobhart28nah let him choose
@@BordeauxYTI think it’s just cause the game is so new, people wanna see you do everything. These are the best videos! good work dude
It’s a shame he’s ending this series, I had a lot of fun watching it. Hopefully he gives SKU or another new team another shot soon!
once the CFB season ends and I'm posting less + have more time to focus on making it the best I can, I'm planning on it
I’m confused on why he’s ending it so soon? Views seem good looking from the outside.

Sad that the series didn't do well. But SKU fans are still here!
Roll callllll!!!
Yea it’s hard to catch lightning in a bottle twice. The original GRU was such a great series it was tough to follow up.
The best series on RUclips is already over. 😭😭😭😭
No way it’s pig state! (Ole moo better)
