✓ Love the game. But 1 thing needs fixingHey Dev, love your game and I’ve thoroughly enjoyed it. The only major drawback is that there’s no ability to sim games and games take way too long without sim/super speed play..Version: 1.4.2
✓ GreatGreat game.Version: 1.3.3
✓ Fun game but frustrating recruitingFun game but the recruiting needs to be fixed. If you build up a decent program (on my 7th season) not every good recruit should have 0-2% starting interest in your program. There should be some sort of pipeline system where recruits from your “pipeline” naturally have higher interest (like recruiting instate guys). It is also INSANE that this recruiting season I had 5 guys with 93-99% interest and none of them signed on the last week of recruiting. That’s so incredibly frustrating because now I’ll get a bunch of low level scrubs to start the next season and essentially wasted a whole years worth of work recruiting which will take multiple years of recruiting to get fixed. That’s a bug that needs to be fixed. IMO there should have an option to recruit “athletes” that can play multiple positions; ability to move a player that is a guard to a tackle, center, DT, etc if need those specific positions (if you have a surplus on one position); or the ability to cut players..Version: 1.6.3
✓ Solid game pretty addictiveDefinitely worth a download.Version: 1.4.1
✓ Field Pass for longerLove the game its great! just wish the field pass was for more then one season.Version: 1.8.0
✓ GoodWould be nice if the computer doesn’t pick the same play 10 times in a row but I like building a program.Version: 1.5.1
✓ The Program review.This is an entertaining sim. The recruiting aspect is overly difficult in that you can’t ever get a great recruiting class, it’s currently tuned to give just enough money to get what you need, but you have to be very strategic to get it. For example, I’m in the 3 Diamond division, I won’t look at 2 star and below. I need 8 positions filled, when it gets down to the end I always have 1 or 2 not signed, inevitably one of the two won’t sign even above 80% recruiting progress. Adding depth to your roster is difficult and usually at the expense of a need. One thing that would make it easier if positions could move around, DE’s and DT’s could replace each other at the expense of some ratings at secondary position. Same with OL or DB’s. I would also like to see an ATH position for recruiting, based on his stats he could be assigned a position. Too often I lose a game where my offense and defense are rated much higher. Possibly because of it being an away game, or my play selections, but based of my teams familiarity with plays (cool feature, would be awesome if D and O could improve ratings after each game), I should always win. I focus only on offense and the few plays I run are highly rated. Good game, needs a few tweaks to be great..Version: 1.3.1
✓ Good but needs improvementNeeds skip option for games, very slow to improve your performance.Version: 1.4.2
✓ Solid GameI really like this game. The recruiting and building/developing your team is great. I just feel like it’s hard really hard to get wins? I’m in my fifth season and the most wins I’ve gotten in a season is 5. I have upgraded my coordinators a couple levels and my team has gotten better going from getting blown out all the time in year one to losing one score games in year 5 but it’s been a long process and I just wanna win a championship. I think a couple things that could help with this would be tweaking the staff tokens even if you got 2 after each season would a big help in my opinion. I also think adding the choice to go for it on fourth down instead of punt every time would also be helpful. It would also be cool if guys could get drafted and leave early to go to the draft. I would also like to be able to submit more than one player to the portal and be able to pick and equal number of transfer players for my team. Overall I like this game a lot and would recommend it..Version: 1.5.1
✓ Well done.Great game, love all the detail put into. It would be great to have a way to sim the actual game or make the match go quicker. I look forward to seeing what is to come🙂.Version: 1.3.3
✓ LimbsObviously a game can only be so good without gameplay but this game is basically the epitome of a game without it. It’s so in depth and they’re going to keep adding to it. Can not wait for the full game. I’ll probably be on my 800th season by then tho lmao.Version: 1.2.10
✓ GreatLove the game.Version: 1.10.2
✓ Slimy yet SatisfyingThis game was a lot better than I originally expected it to be. It really is pretty ideal for this kind of a game. However, I’ve played multiple seasons and it seems really difficult to advance. Six seasons in, and I haven’t earned a single prestige level. Selecting the plays each week is horrible. Time consuming and it’s randomized which plays I get to pick from. The recruiting is a good type of challenging, but at the same time it is very difficult to navigate rewards and team needs. Limited amount of recruit points means 100% watching the ads to double the value. Multiple times I’ve had players lose interest above 90%, which doesn’t seem mathematically possible. I can only imagine the horrible recruit classes people have got from it being so difficult. I’m writing all of this because it is a great game. I enjoy it a lot, it’s early access and that makes me excited. With the return of NCAA Football it will be interesting for this game because of the popularity of this game style, but also the competition because I will certainly be playing the new NCAA game when it comes out..Version: 1.2.13
✓ 4starsHi! I quite like the game, it’s different and feel like there was an actual effort put in it. I feel like certain aspects take alittle long. Per exemple choosing every play each week get pretty boring. I feel like maybe being able to have players transfer as well would be an interesting feature.Version: 1.3.3
✓ Lots of funBeen playing for a few days now super fun to sit and play.Version: 1.9.2
✓ GreatEasy to navigate, fun to play, lots of enjoyment!.Version: 1.9.2
✓ Great Game, a Couple SuggestionsLove the strategy and the focus on recruiting. I also enjoy that it’s quick from one week to the next and you try to make picking plays a big part of the game. A few things that would help and make this game a little easier to grow: - Redshirt players. Why only one player a year? I always have 6-7 freshmen that never touch the ball all year and then that’s just a wasted year for the player - Scouting. I get the only move one spot at a time on the map but if you have already been on that spot, you should be able to make a second step right? The thought being your scout already recruited in that area so you can drive right through and move on. - Additional Scouts. It would be nice to add the option for a second scout maybe at the cost of some recruitment points. That way you can be on both coasts and more effective in your 70 slotted days but you can do that at a penalty of recruitment points to even it out. - Play Calling. Can we have halftime adjustments added? Also, can the training for play calling be a little more clear or the explanations on why your offense was horrid that week be explained so the user can learn play calling more? Other than that, I know it’s basically in beta and I think this game can be awesome. There’s just a few things that w out of make the game more well rounded, particularly being able to redshirt any freshman per year so recruiting isn’t such a numbers game to fill spots..Version: 1.2.17
✓ RatingFun game likin it so far.Version: 1.5.1
✓ Great Game! But you gotta work for it.The game is great! I enjoyed the scouting mechanics, the training tends be useful and upgrading staff goes a long way. The thing is you’re not gonna succeed right away, first season or two will be a slog but it feels rewarding once you get it right!.Version: 1.7.2
✓ Great game, some suggestions to make it more player friendly!I play this game a lot since I find it very enjoyable. I love your new update with the 2x speed and halftime adjustments. Everything about the game is good. I do have some suggestions though. First, add a 4x speed to the games. I don’t look at play by play snaps, and when my team is blowing out the opponent by 30 points, I don’t want to be wasting extra time sitting watching the game. Next suggestion would be with scouting. PLEASE add in a feature that allows us to select positions to prioritize our scouting. You already have a red “!” To show we need the position, but there are times where I have the necessary number for the position, but one is graduating and i completely miss over it, and so I have to play a season with a terrible player on my team. Like allow us to select a couple positions and when we go to scouting board, all those positions have a blue “!” Or something showing that I want to prioritize it. These are my only 2 suggestions and I think it would make the game a lot more convenient for the players..Version: 1.6.1
✓ Amazing but challenging!I’m on my 4th year and still can’t seem to put a winning season together I have a QB how is 45.3 overall and WR that are high 30 but still have no offence. I try to pick plays that will do well against my opponents D but still don’t seem to make any progress, any hints?? Don’t get me wrong I love that it’s not an easy game as those get boring fast, but I would like to show progress after 4 seasons, I think the game plan after game day should be 1 for O and 1 for D or maybe 2 and you get to choose how to spend them, I feel like plays are being run smooth enough as you will always have players out due to injury or the player you have learning the plays graduates..Version: 1.2.17
✓ Game reviewI’ve done a couple seasons, it’s a good game small updates needed.Version: 1.8.0
✓ Good gameVery good game and addicting just could be better with a bigger budget and more time but still for what it is very cool fun game would love to see more like it.Version: 1.10.2
✓ Good game with potential to be greatI’ve had a lot of fun with the game so far a few seasons in. However, I think some improvements could be made to make it better. If you could pick plays during games it would be more interactive and add to the strategy. Or even if you could just make decisions in critical situations like on fourth downs. A lot of times it’ll be like 4th and short at my opponents 40ish yard line and we’ll end up punting with a net gain of 10-20 yards on the punt. I would like the opportunity to choose to go for it or even in a fourth and short to go for it instead of kicking a field goal. If this is not a possible addition I would suggest an option to do a quick sim of the game. There may be one that I missed but I have not seen one so far. If I'm losing or winning by 40 I don’t want to spend an extra minute or two of my time watching the rest of the game. Also any aspects that make the game more interactive and personal would be cool. Such as having random events involving players or anything to make the players feel more real. Like if a player has a high work ethic they could have a chance of gaining a higher potential during the season or during training. Or if a player has been a backup for an extended period of time and they threaten to transfer the upcoming season if they don’t receive playing time. Overall, I like the game but any sort of additions to make it better and more personal is something I would enjoy and even pay a little for. Thanks!.Version: 1.2.15
✓ .Great game..Version: 1.9.2
✓ Few steps from greatness!I really like this game but I think there are a few issues. 1. They need a lifetime pass, it’s almost completely impossible to recruit with the given recruitment budget which makes you have to buy the season pass, but instead of buying the season pass every season 4-5 times, they should make one life time pass option that is $25-30 that allows you to keep those perks throughout the seasons. 2. Training has to be better, at least early on its hard to get the players to their max potential. 3. The players should learn plays throughout the week and have a chance to master them in game if that play worked well, rather than the current system. 4. Reaching goals should allow you to get staff points or something like that, it shouldn’t be all about in game purchases, there should be some aspect of earning those coveted rewards. 5. Be able to pick which plays you want to go to vs each of the opponents plays. I think that would give you a better chance at winning in the simulation. Other than those ideas I think the game is headed in the right direction. Definitely addicting..Version: 1.4.0
✓ Great gameSuper fun, enjoyable, and easy to play.Version: 1.4.2
✓ Not just a normal gameAwesome game! Makes you actually preplan each week and future years of your team. The only downside is that you are very limited on your defensive plays and most of them can’t stop the other teams plays. For example the one team only had run plays in their playbook but the game only let me select pass defense plays so the other team had over 400 yards rushing on me even though I knew they were running each play I couldn’t do anything about it because they didn’t let me select the defensive plays that would actually stop it. If they do an update they should let you choose from every play that the coordinators know but you can only choose 4 or 5 of them, instead of choosing 4 or 5 from a given amount that the game preselected for you that doesn’t help your team. That way you can actually be a head couch of your team and have more of a pull in the decisions that are made..Version: 1.9.0
✓ Nice game !I love it !.Version: 1.5.1
✓ GreatGreat game, really addictive!.Version: 1.2.17
✓ You’ll be hooked for a long time, room for improvementThis is hands down the best dynasty-building game for any football experience. Download now, you won’t regret it I played this game for a while, I did delete it tho but I will say it was fun while I kept it. I realized that you really either have to put money into the game, or spend A LOT of time in it. It took me about 15 seasons before I won my first bowl game in the lowest division. There are times when I should be clearly ahead of the curve in the division. Recruiting 3/5 top 5 talents, for 2-3 years in a row, with all top 2/3 star talent around them. No reason why majority of all teams are giving me a run for my money on gameday, sometimes even losing a matchup that I should clearly win. (My 39pt offense scoring less than 14 on a 24pt defense or vice versa). I even have top tier trainers & coordinators for the division. All of these things take seasons of grinding to get if you don’t want to spend money. So to put in so much time & still lose games when you should be stomping the competition is a bit annoying. I wish you could adjust plays after each qtr. that would be a huge benefit on gameday, rather than being so limited with options during halftime. That detail alone would make everything 10x better in my opinion. Overall very fun game. Super close to having me hooked to buy the full version & stick around long term.Version: 1.7.2
✓ Very funNo issues great game wish the games could be played faster.Version: 1.4.5
✓ Great game crazy addicting needs MOREGame is insanely good. Super addicting. There is so much good about it. 1. The guy during the game says something about the program baseball. Where the heck is it? 2. Option to skip blowout games? 3. Last version was a month ago and still in “early access”. What have y’all been doing?! 4. We need several more player pictures. 5. We need an opportunity to earn more staff tokens. 1 per year is just not good enough while progressing. 6. Legacy achievements 7. Unlockables. Definitely missing out on micro transactions. 8. We need more updates!.Version: 1.5.1
✓ Great Game, hopefully improvements comingGreat game, really immersive but needs some mechanics work on recruiting in the higher conferences and maybe more guidance for those non-American players who don’t understand the right plays to pick!.Version: 1.6.3
✓ Love the game but needs some changes.Love this game I’m in my 5th season and have noticed a few things that seem to keep my program from progressing. 1. Seniority over overall. Seniors with lower ratings start over younger players with higher ratings making it very tough to win games. For example I have a senior RB with a 14 overall starting over my sophmore rb with a 27 overall making it rudimentary to call any run plays. This happens at every position. 2. Kickers miss too many FGs. There’s no reason my kicker should miss 3 less than 30 yard field goals in a row and then make a 50+ yarder when the game is out of reach. 3. Why is it that when I scout a team that calls all run plays and I call all blitzes that the opponent can still pop off 15+ yard runs back to back every play? It’s unrealistic. 4. Too many penalties! I’ve noticed that my team will be driving down the field and then go back significantly after multiple Offensive penalties and then run on 3rd and long which makes a lot of sense right? 5. There needs to be more recruiting points or some change to the recruiting system as it is possible to recruit all positions needed but tough when it comes to having all of the points required to do so..Version: 1.3.3
✓ Loving it!It’s definitely one of the best manager games out there. I only wish it didn’t require wifi to watch ads and boost your recruiting points. Hopefully they keep adding staff options as well.Version: 1.5.1
✓ Good gameGood game.Version: 1.7.2
✓ Amazing but a few problemsI just want to say that I absolutely love this game. I was looking for a game to wait for Bald. The new NCAA football game came out, so I found this I was expecting it to be cheaply, made and not very fun and just be fun for about 30 minutes. But no, this game was absolutely amazing. I’ve been playing this almost nonstop over all of my other games this game is just what I was looking for in terms of rebuilding Going onto the things that I would change number one call Momma make it so you can earn more recruiting points throughout the season like if you win a game you get recruiting points or the chess gives more recruiting points I’ve often found that I cannot for create some of my team needs occasionally because there are not enough recruiting points to go around for everyone Number to I’d really like the game to have just appear stimulation mode and not have a play-by-play. If it would just send the whole game that would make rebuilds a lot faster. Into my final point that I wish that this game had a little bit more of what is in the earlier stages having battles between the different teams instead of just having you try to get this one guy to recruit. I wish it was kind of a little bit more like the NCAA games where you have to fight for a player This game deserve so much more love for a mobile college game this game is simply amazing. In a few more things would make it the best football game on the platform.Version: 1.7.2
✓ Good game but sacks need fixingLove this game, but the sacks are ridiculous. I need 8 sacks in a season from a LB or DE to advance to the next conference and so I keep calling LB blitzes to try and get them some sacks. I’m getting a good amount but the problem is my corners and safety’s are getting them somehow which makes no sense at all, they’re leading my team in sacks despite never pass rushing..Version: 1.10.2
✓ Honest ratingThis game is really fun and i’m going to detail some pros and cons, Pros easy to learn hard to master and with a basically infinite replay ability it’s definitely a great mobile game to play, cons sorta ptw with the scouting since you run out of points after 7-8 prospects and the only reliable way to get more is watching ads or paying .99$ , gameplay is dull. watching the games is just a play being called with a bar moving across the field and an announcer doing repetitive text lines, it would be a lot better with a birds eye view and maybe with the players icons showing them actually running plays, this would be extremely helpful because you would see “oh my wr2 is super slow on this razer route i should switch him to wr3 so they can get more yards” ect ect. overall i really enjoy it and hope they can improve it and make the actual game part of it more enjoyable, only other issue is spending 1$ each season i think you should be able to get the flight token or the points for money but be able to buy no ads for a set price that is forever..Version: 1.5.1
✓ Really radicalBest college football game/ football game out there.Version: 1.10.2
✓ Can be better, but pretty goodI don’t understand why you can only scout offense OR defense for the other team. Why not both? If I’m supposed to pick my plays, why can I not do so on both sides. And know the other team’s schematics for both sides as well. Feel like no matter what I scout it doesn’t matter. If I scout their defense, then I get outscored because I didn’t know their offense. If I scout their offense, then I don’t score at all because I didn’t know their defense. I lost more in my second season than I did in my first. I know I’m only being negative, but those things need to change. And there needs to be more emphasis on player growth and coach growth between seasons. More upgrades for hiring coordinators, trainers, etc. And more upgrades for the players, especially the 3 star ones. Regardless of all of that, the game does have tremendous potential. It’s extremely tedious, but in a good way. There are so many options to personalize and build what you want. It’s different than any other manager type sports game. And it’s still super fun, even though it is challenging..Version: 1.4.6
✓ Really fun, not perfectSuper detailed and fun game, fundamentally it’s really good. One of the best parts is the recruiting system, which involves strategy and luck and is therefore really rewarding. Potential improvements : - As lots of people have said, you should be able to either sim the games or make real time decisions, otherwise they just waste time. - The long-term progression is really slow. Even if you have several winning seasons, you might still not be able to change conferences and thus get better recruits, better coaches, etc. - It’s almost impossible to get all your recruits, so the incoming class is filled with walk-one who are terrible. Either making recruiting easier or adding a way to boost the quality of walk-ons would be cool. - An injured starter is often still better than a healthy reserve, so many of the players who you worked so hard to recruit end up not getting any play time. Making the injuries more severe but then maybe also adding a way to reduce injuries would help. Overall awesome, just room for improvements..Version: 1.5.1
✓ Work in progressI have lots of good things to say about this game but we’ll skip that and go straight to the main problems. These other teams are juggernauts. My “overall” is higher than theirs after a few seasons in and still getting blown out most games. One main thing is we should be able to scout offense and defense instead of having to choose one or the other. Especially if the difficulty is this high. A lot of times the play calls don’t match up with what you scouted and it leaves me picking plays I already know won’t work, especially on offense. Echoing the trainers problem too, lots of positions get left behind because of the options given to train. Choosing scout start place would be nice as well. I’ve noticed too, some potions of desperate need are scarce on the map. I needed a couple RB and there was only one on the map and it was a 1 star. I agree kicks, punts, are a little wonky. Gameplay overall is great. Very smooth. Easy to work and understand. I like the depth of everything too, not too much but also let’s you dive in to more than just recruit, train and play. (Off-season training would be wonderful). I take notes on players and recruits trying to field the best team based on their abilities, but the difficulty and scouting/choosing plays is holding it back a little bit. Very close to a perfect game.Version: 1.2.3
✓ Great gameAbsolutely awesome game I am still being in early access so to think it’s only going to get better is crazy. It’s not too easy but not too hard with a nice story line that won’t be finished in a day. Cannot wait to keep getting better along with this game..Version: 1.2.3
✓ Fun gameGood game - excited to see what is added next!.Version: 1.3.3
✓ Great game, 2 commentsGreat game all around, love being able to play Manager and sim the games (although I do wish there was a quicker way to aim). Only other constructive feedback would be that it takes a bit too long to put together a winning season..Version: 1.2.17
✓ InjurysI just got the game and really enjoying it so far but after a game so many of my players get injured for example every single one of my 5 linebackers were somehow injured in one game other than that very cool game.Version: 1.3.1
✓ Must have for American football fans !I’ve searched a long time for a good American football management game. Finally it’s here ! If you love the College football you really want to download this. Every aspect of running a college program is here, from scouring the country for the next big star to the cut and thrust of putting your game plan together for the big game on Saturday. You don’t need to pay money to enjoy success, although there is a season pass with a couple benefits that are worth having . It’s still in early access mode so hopefully will continue to improve on what is already an absorbing , addictive , cracking game..Version: 1.2.3
✓ GreatThis game has been very well put together and I love it. Although they should add a draft at the start of every season where you get to pick 1 freshmen based on where you were in the league standing that year..Version: 1.9.2
✓ Hey everyone this is a great gameI have been playing this game for a few months now and it’s simplistic yet detailed and strategy oriented. I like the updates the developers have been making on this game. To developers. Love what you guys have been doing and I would like to suggest maybe more recruiting points when you start the season..Version: 1.3.3
✓ Fun stuffAwesome game… hard to win though.Version: 1.7.2
✓ Such a great gameI know nothing about American football but somehow managed to be over 100 seasons in on this and on the second last league. If you are struggling the Facebook group is active with other players willing to help. Recruitment is key ensuring you have enough cover in each position and then it’s about tailoring the plays to complete each leagues challenges which are different each time. I hope they do a basketball version :-).Version: 1.8.0
✓ First review I've doneGreat game honestly! Try it yourself guys, no micro-transaction needed to have a great time.Version: 1.10.2
✓ A fun work-in-progress gameSeeing some of the unfavorable reviews, you MUST keep in mind that the game tells you from the start that this is an early access game that doesn’t have a ton of features at the moment. Despite that, the game is really fun and addicting. I never write reviews for games, but this game, even in an unfinished, unpolished state, is a breath of fresh air from football games like madden mobile or retro bowl (retro bowl is still a great game tho). The grind of recruiting good players and training up young prospects is engaging, and winning takes a lot of planning and strategizing week-to-week based on the opponents’ tendencies in your conference (eg. one of the colleges in my conference seems to only call run plays on offense). There are many issues with the game, like starting the game for the first time, the advance day option never popped until I restarted the game, and I thought u had to check back every day to actually play out the season. Also, training success is hard to understand and sometimes is useless. Some of the ratings don’t feel as weighted as they should be, like kick accuracy or qb accuracy; however, these issues I feel will be worked on over time, and I’m really excited to see how the developers improve this game over time.Version: 1.5.1
✓ Amazing Sim, Just needs that last PushI’ve been playing this game non stop for days now and I can say when it come to the feeling of running a college program this is as close as I can find the App Store. It has great recruiting and the interface is well done and easy to understand. Seasons don’t take too long ( if you wanted you can do a season in a day or less depending on play time) and it has that one more week kind of hook that just grabs you. My only gripes would be a little better clarification of some stats ( the play evaluation after games) as well as just slightly more recruiting points such as a bonus for landing multiple high stars or an extra move for your scout every once in a while, nothing game breaking. I understand you can pay per season which I’m not a fan of. I’d much rather just pay a flat $3-$5 to unlock the bonuses personally. I feel they would sell a lot more that way. But that’s just me. Overall the TL:DR it’s the best college sim I’ve found, no predatory micros(can play4free and do great, I have) just need small additions here and there and it’s a 5 star. Keep up the great work!!!.Version: 1.6.3
✓ Great game, but found a bugGame is really well done for early access. However, I’ve come across a bug where I go to continue career and my screen gets stuck on loading team..Version: 1.2.1
✓ NiceNice game.Version: 1.8.0
✓ Ton of potentialAs it is, it’s already a good game. But there’s lots of little things that could be improved. More than one redshirt would be a start. Not getting blown out by teams who you’re better than on both sides of the ball would be another. Too many injuries, not realistic, but they are only out a week, which is nice. You should be able to pick where your scout starts AND have the flight. The percentages of interest increase to recruiting points makes no sense really. More points should count for more per point, not less. Big moments, say 4th and 1s should be decided by user, not coordinator. The punts and returns are super unrealistic. So many 12ish yard punts and so many 30+ hard returns. Nearly no touchbacks. Another thing, one time played a team with 5 run plays, so I only called blitzes with lots of people in the box. They proceeded to score 41 points on me when my defense had a greater overall than their offense AND I gameplanned. But I’ll still play it even if none of these things are fixed. Maybe just not as long or as much..Version: 1.2.11
✓ NiceNice game.Version: 1.9.2
✓ Amazing gameThis is such an amazing game, both in functionality and visualization. I get lost in the game for hours at a time. Its not too hard but not too easy easy either, there is a clear progression up through conferences. I know the game is also under constant development and I am excited to see what the developers come up with. Some things I would like to see added are an offseason transfer portal (allows you to fill missing holes in recruiting class and adds challenge when some of your own players transfer, and is also more realistic) and more options for trainers and scouts, as well as being able to select your starting point on the scouting map. Sometimes you start nowhere near any positions you need and it can be tough to fill all the holes, even with a plane ticket. I would also like to see players that you recruit in later weeks have higher starting interest. If you want to recruit a player in week 8, you either have to spend hundreds of points on personal visits or take a 40%ish risk at commitment. This also ties in to the map problem because if you start in a bad location it can take several weeks to get to positions you want, which makes it too expensive to get a full recruiting class and you end up with walk-ons. But overall love the game and still giving it five-stars.Version: 1.2.11
✓ FunIt’s fun but hard to win a lot of games and there are some injuries..Version: 1.4.6
✓ Honestly the perfect sports sim gameGives the perfect balance of control to the player and simplicity. Safe to say in addicted to the gameplay despite my on field performances refusing to improve. I believe in my team, I believe in the system. Learning more about American football by the day..Version: 1.8.0
✓ Promising to say the leastThis game is absolutely phenomenal already the best football simulation that I’ve played. I do have some suggestions however. 1) I wish there was a way to speed up the games or have a say in the game. Whether there could be a “sim game” option in the future or the option to pick certain plays because sometimes the ai will run a dumb play like a run on 3rd and long or punt the ball at midfield during crunch time. 2) I wish there was an easier way to recruit players. I find it difficult to recruit good players to your team early on due to the lack of recruiting points. I’ve found myself struggling for points to fill out my needs. I understand you start at the worst conference which allocates less points to you each season and it may just be me not using my points in the right fashion. I’m still early on into the grind but I’ve found this game absolutely amazing I’ve been playing it almost nonstop and I appreciate that there’s a realistic college football game that I can no actually enjoy..Version: 1.5.1

✓ 5 stars for potential5 stars for potential; still a work in progress. I’ll echo what other people are saying on difficulty; I have every single college football game and I can’t figure how to win this one. Once that gets tuned, the core mechanics are solid. I miss recruiting against others, but the map system is a unique differentiator that is nice. Would be nice to be able to pick your scouts initial spot. (My second season my scout started in Maine surround by emptiness) Agree with the sim speed choice as a necessity. Also I’d suggest toning down punters and returns. I’m seeing pretty regularly punters launching 70 plus yard punts. Also having control over special team returns would be nice. Maybe also a penalty rating to try to lower penalties, or know who commits them the most. Finally, is the season pass used for all seasons or just one? Don’t mind purchasing it if it’s a permaboost; definitely wouldn’t buy for just one season. All of this, but the core gameplay is a breath of fresh air in the college football market. Keep it up!.Version: 1.2.1
✓ Please addPlease add transfers at the end of each season.Version: 1.5.1
✓ Great manager gameGood game , got to be patient to get a great team !!.Version: 1.2.11
✓ A few suggestionsSo suggestions when u update, when ur off of the task and it’s just the red exclamation point on the side of the screen if you tap it, it should take you to the scouting/gameplan etc. also one thing that almost made me delete the game just based on principal, I had 4 recruits on the same exact week that I offered a scholarship to, that ranged from 79-88% interest and all four of them declined. Mathematically I don’t know the statistics, but I know it’s almost impossible for that to happen. Also if there was a way to be able to change things in game that would be better. Down by 6 and running the ball with under a minute or two in the game makes no sense. If not making it to where you can mess with those in game then making the play calling in those situations a little more realistic would go a long way. One last thing is being able to aim through the game would be nice. It’s cool to watch all that but there’s a point in the game that your up or down by a lot and it’s over when it’s just to much. Aside from that prob my favorite college football simulator game..Version: 1.2.10
✓ Great gameAwesome.Version: 1.4.2
✓ Fun but difficultFun to run your own program but very difficult at the beginning. Seems a little too difficult to win at the start regardless of whether your team has better players or not. The playcalling is weird as it seems random. You have “long” plays where you run the ball and only project 4.5 yards. That doesn’t make sense. Overtime doesn’t make sense for college football. It’s a 15 minute quarter with a touchdown ending the game? Fix it to be the college rules. Would make more sense. Recruiting points are too low. How are you expected to recruit 10 guys, where on average you need to spend 250 points to guarantee him signing. That’s 2500 total points and you are given 1100. You can find more points and watch ads to double up. Also the signing seems unfair. I’ve had multiple recruits at 90-98% decline my signing to lose 45% and lose the recruit overall. And then a guy at 45% will sign. I’m in my third season and how have I missed on 90% more than I’ve had sign? Doesn’t seem like the math is working out here Overall fun to play if you are a college football fanatic like me.Version: 1.4.2
✓ WowProbably one of the best sports sim games I have played on mobile. I am hooked and can’t wait to see where it progresses to!.Version: 1.5.1
✓ A great College Football Sim!Smooth and easy to play and understand. Would like to see more redshirt/cut/transfer options. Would also like the benefit of having a home state to boost recruiting. Two thumbs up!.Version: 1.8.0
✓ Great gameYou need to play the game for several seasons and recruit and train your players to start having winning seasons. Every week coaches recommend plays on offenders and defense to run in the game. Of the choices One is usually good, one average and one poor. I haven’t seen anyway way of telling which before choosing. Once you have made your choices, You don’t however get to select which plays you use in the game these are simmed which is a shame. Only other issues are on recruiting. I find on the chests that have 150 recruit points that I often don’t get a video to double my recruit points which is really frustrating. Other issue is even if you get a recruit to 98/99 they often don’t sign with you. Great game however so enjoy.Version: 1.3.3
✓ Great game and nothing else like it.One of those games you can easily get hooked on. Enjoyed the scouting a lot, loved finding gems around the map. As well as scheming against different teams on the tactics. Only negative, needs more ways to get coaching points so you can upgrade faster imo. Otherwise can be 3/4 seasons until you can development your team..Version: 1.2.10
✓ Really Great GameThis game is great! Runs smoothly and has a lot of great details too it. Things I look forward for them to add would be -Having players getting drafted -More advanced Playbooks for offence and defence (or keeping it at 4/5 plays but having a base for your coordinator ex Pressure, Blitz, Man, Zone for defence and Air Raid, Mix, Run for Offence. Overall really, really fun game!.Version: 1.4.5
✓ Good gameIts good.Version: 1.4.6

✓ Fun game!!Looking forward to updates, so much potential!.Version: 1.2.15
✓ Not for EveryoneI love this game. It really challenges your patience and strategic abilities. However it is not for everyone. I am seeing a lot of the same thing in the reviews about the difficulty of the game. I agreed with them until my 6th season. It takes a little bit to grasp how to scout your opponents and pick the right plays. But when you figure that out it makes it a whole lot more fun. I feel like a lot of people saying that the game is too difficult don’t understand how to scout opponents and pick plays. That’s why you have to be patient and why it’s not for everybody. I saw a few reviews about the bowl games being too hard as well. You have to understand that you are put in the worst conference and trying to rank up in conferences throughout your career. So if you make it to a bowl game you are bound to play a hard opponent. When you rank up in conferences you will be able to scout better recruits and do better in bowl games. Honestly I think this game is about the most realistic games I’ve ever played. I’m taking literal notes to improve my team while also trying to get lucky. Would 100% recommend!.Version: 1.2.10
✓ Some ideasI know this game is still in development but so far it has been a blast to play, some things I would recommend though; first would be a football icon to indicate who has the ball while watching the game, as some teams colors are almost identical to my teams and it is difficult to keep track of who has the ball at what time. Second, I would add a speed option for watching the sim of your team, whether it be a 3 speed sim selection tool that just speeds it up or slows it down, or a button that just sims to the end of the game. Third would be a soundtrack that mirrors that of a college fight song, one that you could hear a band playing at an actual football game. Lastly would be the option to have a different layout of colleges. I know that the default one is Seattle, but if there was different non-branded options to select for your team would be great to choose from. The scouting and choosing playbook is fantastic and so far I can’t wait to see where this game goes..Version: 1.2.3
✓ 4 starGreat game and love the concept, Only thing I dislike is that you have to buy season pass each season you play Would much prefer an alternative like a once of payment for it.Version: 1.9.2
✓ A polished and addictive gameJust enough depth to keep you interested while being simple enough to understand quickly.Version: 1.3.1
✓ Punishing difficulty but eventually rewardingI was a few games away from leaving a two-star review before it finally clicked for me and my team turned the corner after five seasons. When you start out the other teams have better players, trainers, and coaches, meaning you can do everything right early on and still lose by 40 which is obviously very frustrating. Enjoying this game requires having the patience to get annihilated for a few seasons as you learn how to counter the opposing playbook and build up your recruiting. If you stick with it things eventually pay off, but coming into it expect to spend AT LEAST six seasons in each conference before earning the right to move up. I recommend prioritizing scouting and training upgrades early on, and choosing to review the opponent’s offense. Pick a defense that counters the plays you see, e.g. if they have plays running right pick something that blitzes left since the field is reversed from the defense’s perspective. At halftime prioritize swapping your worst performing offensive play, upgrading a defensive play if it’s being used for 3+ of the opposing plays, and halftime speech. Given the brutal learning curve I wish the devs would have put in a better coaching tutorial, but overall I’ve enjoyed it..Version: 1.7.2
✓ Good, has great potentialMost reviews I’ve seen so far have it nailed down pretty well: this game has good structure, but needs to be polished more. Personally, I think it should be slightly quicker to progress, at least between certain conferences. Right now, I’m stuck in the first conference simply because I can’t get a shut out, even though my team is undefeated and wins by multiple scores a game. There should be more variety for conference achievement points so different successful play styles can be rewarded instead of just one set method the algorithm might recognize. Otherwise, you’re stuck in one conference for 10+ seasons trying to build something, where a lot of people could easily get bored and quit. I also think there’s room for greater details in player performance and interactions, such as players threatening to transfer when they are replaced. Overall; this game definitely has the potential to be a main stay for many people, but right now, people will probably get tired of it fairly quickly.Version: 1.4.1
✓ Best CFB Sim game Ever!!!This is an incredible game and certainly the most engaging free game I’ve played. There are some ads, but they’re worth watching for the bonus recruiting points. The updates have been great and I hope this game continues to improve. My biggest complaints are: -in game: if you’re going to make me sit through every play of the game, at least give me some ability to make coaching decisions. For instance, critical 4th down, I should be able to choose between a FG, punt, or go for it. If I’m down by a few points late in a game, let me kick an onside. The fact that you have to sit through the whole game and can’t make any coaching calls is infuriating. -Redshirt: you should be able to redshirt players who are not freshman -Playbook: some of the plays don’t match up with the descriptions, it will say LG is pulling but then my RG is the key player? Once you select a play, choose a frequency at which it’s used. I don’t want to run flea flicker 30x per game. I also don’t understand how game review has any impact on these plays. There’s a bar for proficiency, but what does that mean? Can a “key player” get a stat boost on plays he has reviewed?.Version: 1.9.2
✓ Great Manager experience, the games are horribleThe game sims are so frustrating if you pay attention, and it feels like your roster/play calls mean nothing when it comes to actually winning games. The recruiting is cool, but the recruit signing needs an overhaul to make it something you have more of a say in. The building of the team is done extremely well though and it is a fun game. So close to being a game that every football fan plays.Version: 1.5.1
✓ Great gameA great NFL game. Could do with a few more tweaks to it in terms of the amount of staff you can change & something like a suggested plays for the teams when choosing the plays every week. But it’s still in early access & a great game..Version: 1.2.5
✓ Good game, easy to spend a lot of time. Some room for improvementOverall, I really enjoyed this game. I’ve spent a lot of time and candidly some money. However, there are a few recommendations I would have the first recommendation is changing the season pass for Canik to be for a set period of time in real life as opposed to a single season of the game. Unfortunately, this past almost feels necessary, when you get to higher level recruiting as every recruit needs, additional points spent to have any chance of signing them. The other thing I would recommend has to do is regarding the points you need to move to a higher ranked league. Some of the achievements that you essentially are required to complete, are difficult with a particular coach (coordinator) and their play calls. For example, in a five star league you’re required to have multiple running backs have over 800 passing yards and the highest rated offensive coordinator does not have any screenplays in the available options. So I am stuck unable to progress unless I hire a cheaper/worse coach. Some updates that have already been made were helpful, such as the preseason and the transfer portal I’m hoping they will be continued as the game ages..Version: 1.4.2
✓ Good gameThis is a really good mobile game. It’s feels like you have control over the game without it being to complex and hard to grasp. I seen a few people complaining that the game is to hard but I like where the difficulty is at right now (I think it could even be higher). It’s not as easy as just picking good players. You have to make good decisions on this game even the press conferences matter. Recruiting is not as hard as people are saying too just do the 25 point one every week can easily get 10+ recruits. I think the training could use some improvement I often have 3 star safety’s and linebackers who on their senior year are still 20 over because the trainers rarely give me the option to train them. Also it would be nice to have the option to sim games or just add in game decisions. I would also like to see the players names when they make a play instead of just seeing pass for 60 yards. Overall I think It’s a great game and has a lot of potential..Version: 1.2.3
✓ Great game - Couple thoughtsSuper addicting and overall great game. A few thoughts on some updates: (1) Would be nice to be able to redshirt as many freshman as you want. Would also help improve recruiting since you wouldn’t have as many team needs every year and could focus on less position groups, (2) a quick sim option on game day would be great when you don’t feel like watching the whole thing, (3) ability to make two stops on a recruiting visit and an additional flight move. Also, more recruiting points to start out, or the chests contain larger amounts. I like that recruiting is somewhat difficult, but even if you buy the season pass it’s borderline impossible to fill out an entire class, (4) a week or two of an off-season that lets you train the players and do a ton of recruiting would be awesome, and (5) actually signing 70% of the recruits that you have a 70% chance to sign. For 3 seasons in a row, I’ve had about 10 recruits with anywhere from 70%-90% chance to sign them, and only two or three committed..Version: 1.2.13
✓ Addicting but amazing!I’m not one to play games on my phone but I saw an ad on social media and figured I’d give it a try as a huge college football fan and I have not been disappointed! It’s addicting, challenging, and so much fun! Nothing like finally getting a 5 star to commit.Version: 1.10.2
✓ Maybe the best college football simThere’s only one other that compares. Very fun, love the scouting, wish you could manage the in game more. Looking forward to seeing how it develops..Version: 1.4.5
✓ Fun, easy to play football simBeen playing for about a week. Really enjoying it. Easy to play at your own pace. Fun to watch the game simulate. Feels like training often results in no improvement to players (sometimes even when even some marginal effect is “guaranteed”). Recruiting rewards probably need reevaluating (essentially the only obvious and viable strategy to get a meaningful number of recruits is stick to email for 25 points because the diminishing returns at higher costs don’t make sense). Would also be nice to program in some strategy to gameplay (ex always go for it on 4th down in red zone or inside 10; never punt in 4th quarter if down >1 score) or even build in the ability to make a live decision during the game sim. Oh, and it’s kind of ridiculous how often my “long” play options are 3 runs. Also sometimes have 2 medium or long pass plays in “short” options. Should just be able to pick plays and assign them to short or long. Interested to see how game evolves as development continues..Version: 1.2.15
✓ AddictedThis game is exactly what I was looking for! I have been really into playing sport manager/coach type games lately. I wasn’t fully satisfied with any of them until I came across this one. It seems very thought out which is kind of hard to come by unless you’re playing madden or something similar on a console. The level of involvement is good; it’s not overly complicated but still takes some thought. I do wish that there was an option to sim through the games faster, but that’s not a huge issue. My only complaint is that the season pass costs 3.99 per season! I bought it the first time thinking it was like other games where you buy it once and you have that for the rest of the time you play, but it restarts every season. 4 dollars seems pretty steep considering you only have 11 games in a season, and I can easily go through a few seasons in a day depending on how much I play. I wish the developers would address this because if there was a set rate to get an all season pass for a fair amount I would definitely be sold, but I won’t be buying any more single season passes because it’s just not worth it..Version: 1.5.1
✓ HardGame is cool and interesting but super hard to win. Kind of feels a bit useless at times..Version: 1.7.2
