✓ What the hellllllOnce I won conference it said error then kicked me out no I cannot load that save again and comes up with the same “error code” every time.Terry labuncgeVersion: 0.8.10

✓ AmazingI would absolutely rate 5 stars if I was able to sim games..SneeryTurtVersion: 0.8.12

✓ Seriously?Ok, first I wanna start off by saying RB college is an amazing game and new star did a wonderful job. But I have one complaint, what the actual heck is up with the team colors? They are all so bland, (some teams not having a colored logo, strip on their pants, or sleeve) and I feel like new star is doing this literally so that your OCD has had enough and makes you buy premium to edit the colors because they are so annoying. I mean come on, Clemson Is orange white and purple, and they made it yellow white and royal blue. Come on new star, your better then that. Another thing is the fact that you have zero big games whatsoever before the playoffs. This makes getting into the playoffs itself way easier then it should be. Other then that, the game is awesome but I will be redesigning each and every Jersey color for each and every team to actually be somewhat realistic. (Doing your job for you).USMC_FVersion: 0.8.12

✓ Good start, Improve on a few things pleaseThe game is good, I’ve been wishing for a college football version of retro bowl. I love the rankings, playoffs, and college teams. All I ask is that you add “sim” games just so I can get through the season quicker but also just clean up on when the season is over and you look at your season history I’ve the years. I feel like that could be more organized it’s kinda confusing looking at it. Also when players get awards, I wish it was like retro bowl where it shows how many awards that player received in each category. Just an idea it would be cool to have a game mode where we can make a custom college league and set how many games we can play or how many teams can be in the playoffs. Hopefully this review helps you guys! I love your retro bowl and have been playing since the beginning. Keep it up!!.Matt_guevVersion: 0.8.19

✓ SuggestionsThey should make a retro bowl cfl.Daxr08Version: 0.8.12

✓ Terrible AdminI have reached out to the game developers multiple times about a bug that prevents me from playing the game and just says “loading”. They still have yet to respond or fix the issue. For now I give it a 1 star, I will fix it once the bug has been resolved..EA Madden Ratings AdjustorVersion: 0.8.10

✓ Good game but-I feel like there are some things that could be fixed or improved. That would make the gameplay feel a lot more diverse and different from the original game retro bowl. First I think it would be cool if instead of “Retro Bowl college“ in the middle of the field to have a team logo as it would make it seem like you were playing a different team every time and it doesn’t get repetitive same with the end zone. Second, I think it is a little sloppy to still have the non-used slots of jerseys that every team has, instead of if the team doesn’t have all four jerseys to just keep it with that and not have those weird jerseys even available. Third I don’t know if it is a glitch or on purpose but I think it is weird that some of the players have smaller arms than others, as this did not happen in the original game..Review-maxVersion: 0.8.15

✓ Game won’t loadThe game won’t load after you finish the first season and advance into the playoffs.NahhitsbarnsVersion: 0.8.10

✓ Make it more realisticHow come there’s Minor teams that are better than a lot of the power 5 teams? And could you make the recruiting more realistic? Like a minor team should not be able to recruit a 5 star player. And is there any way you could make a difficulty in between hard and extreme because I think I’d find that more fun than just losing one game each year but still winning the natty..M_avery4Version: 0.8.19

✓ Great but the potential for more is out there.I loved retro bowl. So when this came out, naturally, I loved this game too. It added so much to what was an already entertaining and fun game. But a thought recently hit me. Notice on how you can view where players are from when you click on the roster. It gave me an idea that, for those who payed for the add-on, we could customize what town, city, or maybe even country the players are from. It may seem a little far fetched until you realize that you can customize where each bowl in the game are is located. I love the game, it’s great to customize each and every character and give them their own little story. But this small detail can so much to the players and give them a personality of their own. Plus it could increase the number of people who’d buy the add-on so that they could also create their own players themselves. It’s just a thought. I’d like to hope this could get added someday. Otherwise, the game is still great to play. 7.5/10..Own K.Version: 0.8.19

✓ Almost unplayable as a dynastyThis game doesn't hold a candle to the pro Retro Bowl, for one reason: Recruiting and roster building is absolutely broken. There aren't enough ways to raise scholarship dollars, and the prices of players are too high... so you can't possibly build a balanced team. You either end up with one side of the ball being much better than the other, or you only have 5 or 6 players. The game also screws you when you take a new job. I moved up to the Ohio S. job. In real life it's one of the 5-10 best jobs in college football. The team was pretty well rated on the job selection screen. After I took the job, suddenly they were a disaster. I only had four players, with no QB... and somehow all the players who left only gave me $17K in scholarship money... and all the recruitable QBs cost more than that. So I'm supposed to play an entire season (and maybe longer) without a QB? That would never, ever happen. Especially not at a top school. This game needs a lot of work..MmmmsnoutsVersion: 0.8.10

✓ BugAfter season 6 it gave me an error code so now I can’t resume my progress. So I have to start over..DevoshowerVersion: 0.8.10

✓ Go Back to Retro Bowl(+)This game is okay. It adds a dimension to standard Retro Bowl, which means it’s not just monotonous football all the time. But, key things are missing — like transfers. The rates of walk ons aren’t high either. Managing GPA is also kind of ridiculous, as any training besides light leads to a rapidly declining GPA. But the biggest problem with the game, and I paid for the unlimited version, is that it’s still buggy. It feels like a beta game, so no wonder it’s free. I am in Y6 and stuck with the original team I picked. Why? Because I’m unable to improve my coach rating despite winning the Naty for several years. The lack of improved rating means I get no job offers from other schools. And my rating doesn’t increase because, per the developer who I emailed, I’m not at “a supposedly better college.” So, effectively, I’m stuck. I’m only out $1, but until this game gets fixed, don’t waste your time and money. As stated, the developers aren’t helpful either besides “please be patient, we’re aware of this,” yet the game’s been out for awhile..RuffmVersion: 0.8.19

✓ Potential to be GreatI am a longtime fan of Retro Bowl OG and have played RB College since its release, but college somehow feels like an inferior version of OG. For starters, the consistent double negative events make it almost impossible to get any positive morale with the team. You are almost required to use coaching credits just to keep your team happy. Players do not develop at all over the summer or even gain additional experience like what is normally seen in football, they are basically the same player as they were the last time they took the field. Fielding a 5 star defense with a 5 star defensive coordinator grants little to no benefit over having a middling defense. The most egregious thing regarding this game is the fact that there is still no option to choose plays. Other than these few issues, the game is great..Team.PotatoVersion: 0.8.19

✓ Needs to be more like the current college gameLove the OG retro bowl and have customized it as a college game for awhile now. So I was super excited for an actual college version to play but have found this one a little disappointing. First off, the gpa is weird as a lot of people have commented on so it needs to be changed where you don’t have to bench your players every other week. Once or twice a season seems more accurate. Second, where is the transfer portal and NIL? These are huge parts of the current game and could be easily modulated from the pro versions free agency and salary cap. New star needs to research this and add it here. It would be a nice wrinkle to have to match NIL offers from other schools between seasons. Third, why can’t you start at the school of your choice? I like the work your way up approach but also might like to pick my team for a different game just for fun. I want to be able to do both. RB is escapist entertainment and sometimes I want to escape by working my way through the ranks and sometimes by dominating with my fave team. Give both options. Finally, I don’t understand why certain parts of the game aren’t included. If you have kick returns why not punt returns? Kickers but not punters? Let us play defense! And actually see our defensive players we recruit in action! Let us have more players! 12 is not enough. Overall RB is the best sports game app hands down and my fave. Keep working to make it even better..Oboy_98Version: 0.8.12

✓ Make game simulationsThe game would be a lot better if you could simulate the games because after about a season, I find it gets boring.Chaseman3!Version: 0.8.19

✓ Game needs workGame is fun and addictive but with that you find many things that make the game annoying and borderline unplayable. For some reason I’m constantly playing with Neanderthals on my team constantly throwing the ball to the back of their heads. Or somehow just tossing straight to the other team. I get football games but this is more of a bug then anything. No one would be on a team that allowed footballs to be smacked across the back of their heads 😭.Cola lawVersion: 0.8.15

✓ Fun but tediousThe game is fun and you find yourself looking forward to each matchup as you improve your team and chase a national championship. However, the games glaring weakness, in my opinion, is the constant GPA battle. Apparently, according to this game, regardless of a kids personal make up, there are absolutely zero student-athletes in this game. You are constantly fighting the gpa battle, or having to defend your players. A good addition would be player personalities. Something simple, a player is a partier, a diva, or book worm, and that could all be included into the freshman admissions, resulting in a more compelling choice in recruiting. If a player is a partier, his gpa suffers, and so on. High team morale could help, or likelihood of going pro could help with a players gpa or the challenges with that player. Just a few ideas that would make this game better, and give it more longevity..78KazbraskaVersion: 0.8.12

✓ Some ideasMaybe do the recruiting a little different have us fight for some high star players add a transfer portal also would like to see a spring game practice mode a few little mini drills make the game a little more challenging cus extreme is getting easy for me the ablilty to sim games let us redshirt players and have up to at least 20 players on a roster so it gets more of a college feel would love to see what you can do to add some read options also can we please get some pixel jersey numbers and we can edit the colors to make it a little more authentic and maybe add some way we can watch the defense play and call plays from the sideline also make the user defense a little better idk much I’m enjoying the game but a must need for me is mini drills to be able to upgrade players and definitely a practice mode where we can practice plays with or without a defense.Codypeace9Version: 0.8.19

✓ TrashKeeps crashing after year 2.NiqqerssssszVersion: 0.8.10

✓ Good game but you’ll be disappointed at the beginningGood football game with lots of teams. Controls are a bit on the quirky side. It’s got that 80s feel to it but it could have better music. The biggest disappointment is at the beginning, where you’ll find that selecting your favorite team to start with is not possible. You are only given a select few out of a few conferences to choose. Paying money won’t change that either. It’s pretty messed up that you can’t even enjoy your favorite team without having to play 10-20 seasons before you get lucky enough to get an offer. I think being able to select your team without limitations is a MUST and because of that feature missing, along with a statistical leaders area, -2 stars. Sorry but I should have the freedom to choose what team I want to start with. Especially if I paid real money..FootLoopsVersion: 0.8.15

✓ It’s okay….I mean a great concept, retro bowl was amazing and adding a college concept is actually very cool. The reason it’s a 3 star is because of some things I’ve noticed that are kinda frustrating. For one, FUMBLES. Period. My team has 99% morale and aren’t tired what so over, so why do I get multiple fumbles almost EVERY GAME. It’s kinda of annoying. Two, it’s very annoying to manage GPAs every year if I don’t have the chance to have my players study on their bye weeks. And paying 25 cc every year to maintain a solid GPA is very annoying. Three, if a FCS upsets an FBS team they should get a bigger fan base or some sort of reward. And lastly having FCS teams and realignment happen throughout seasons would be pretty cool. If some of these fixes/ideas get implemented would this an automatic 5 star game like the original game. But I know this game just came out so I can’t be to harsh, other then good and fun game :).Fear_DanVersion: 0.8.12

✓ Problems and wishlistFirst of all, I play this game more often than OG Retro Bowl, but it does have something’s I don’t quite like. Don’t get me wrong, I love the game, but I have a few things I don’t like and a few things I think could be added to the game. Unlike the original game, you can’t pick any college at the start, which is not very cool. I wish I could start out as a different team than say Wyoming. Another problem I have with the game is after I’ve won 4 major national championships in a row, all undefeated by the way, all in Wyoming, I didn’t get any offers from any “good” schools, just the same old bottom of the barrel schools each year. I wish they would add conference realignment, not random, but at the end of the season I should be able to manually realign the conferences. I think this would be so cool. I also wish they could make funding easier, it’s difficult to build a higher quality teams with the current system. Also a transfer portal feature would be amazing. Ability to add 12 team playoff? PLEASE!!!.PHoward123Version: 0.8.19
