I wanna play against friends
If you could connect and play against your friends teams this would be THE BEST APP EVERR
Game won’t launch
Game was fun. As of today it will not launch
You need another option
This game should have a coach retirement option.
Good gAme but don’t open
Don’t open
Pretty fun game
This game is pretty fun as stated in the title but it would of gotten 4 or 5 stars if yall change this one feature and that’s the fans system You see when you win a game or two you only gain like 2-4% of your fans but when you lose just one game, you lose like half your amount of your fans, in the real nfl you probably only lose a couple
.
Needs less fumbles
It’s good but confusing
Whenever I throw the ball at the other team and when I throw the to the others teams players helmet it’s always a interception like literally I throw the ball and it hit the other teams players helmet like he didn’t trurned around but it was still fun and rigged😡.
More achievements!
This game is awesome! Great way to pass the time incrementally. I’ve been playing for who knows how long, and I’m at the point now where I realllllly want to see some new achievements to keep the game challenging. We’re overdue.
Mac
Its a good game but it dosen't work on Laptop. Pls fix this
Needs Updates
This Game is Great, Great concept and Great Animation within the game thru games or players on the field just. When the game goes Overtime I don’t like how our team always gets possession of the ball even we start the ball every game and maybe yall should add defense algorithms so we can also play defense on ball just a suggestion to make the game more versatile
Player career mode
Implement a player career mode to introduce a fresh gameplay experience, along with new features such as position selection—whether quarterback, wide receiver, running back, or tight end. Additionally, incorporate a retro college phase in the career mode, allowing players to start there and progress to the professional level.
VERY UNFAIR!
Our game was tied 41-41 headed to overtime (exhibition game) Then New England got the kick and passed it to our team, Indianapolis. BUT SOMEHOW, I went to the goal line, AND THEN THE OPPONENTS INTERCEPT IT AND GET A FREE TOUCHDOWN. THIS GAME IS JUST UNFAIR, RIGGED, FIX THIS PROBLEM
Update the game
Can you guys extend the roster, and have more WRS on the field, and switch players out mid game? That’ll be fire!
Disappointed
Good game but now keeps crashing when opening it
Defense
I like this game but the only thing is why is the defense faster than the offense like bro what I was wide open on my 20 and bro caught Me from the 50
GOATED game
This is one of the best if not best football games EVER. I love the retro vibe, the ability to manage the team, and it’s also cool that it requires no Wi-Fi. And no ads.🐐🐐🐐
It sucks
This app stinks more than the brown without Myles garret
Console
I love the game retro bowl I find it the best phone game I own but I do wish they would add a console version to be played on PlayStation or Xbox
controller issues
The mobile controls are well made but pressing back on the ps4 controller crashes the whole game
Make retro bowl 26 not on apple play
Pls make retro bowl 26 not on apple play and add cfl teams and all star teams
Punt returns
I think the game would be way more fun if punt returns were a thing I know it’s a long shot but please do it
Rigged game
This game blatantly and obviously cheats with its algorithm. Really isn’t worth your time. The game always seems to have the perfect defense for each play-call it makes you run. This is what playing against Univ of Michigan sign stealing must have felt like. You’ll know within the first couple minutes of each “game” whether you’ll be allowed to win.
Transfer
Greate game gets the job done fixes boredom while also being a go to game the only bad thing is there is no transfer portal at all and I think that’s a real important part of the game and their is already no self. Recruiting which is fine but I think their definitely should be a transfer portal
Frustrating
This game starts out great but soon becomes extremely frustrating. The controls are mostly good but after year three in the game it becomes ridiculous. Every time. And I do mean EVERY TIME the opponent gets the ball,they score. Why build a good defence if it means nothing in the game. I get it’s supposed to be competitive but it’s every time! So no. Don’t waste any time and especially money on this until they even out the fairness.
Really
Ok but fun, the world’s fastest humans all play defense And interceptions are a joke. But yeah it’s fun Would be cool to be able to play my defense
Retro Bowl
Best mobile game I’ve ever played
Purchases Not Crediting
The game is very simple and fun. I’ve made a couple purchases and they are not crediting to my account and keep prompting me to make the purchase again. Extremely frustrating to the point that I deleted the game. I wish the purchases I made would come through, because I love the game. I’m not going to continue playing and purchasing if it’s going to have consistent issues.
Good but some glitches
This game is very fun but when i tried to get the achievement “score 500 career touchdowns “ I had 300 on one Wr and 350 on another Wr and it doesn’t give me the achievement
Fix please
I have been playing retro bowl for 5 years. I love the game. But since I downloaded iOS 26 it has been insanely laggy. I tried to uninstall and reinstall to fix the issue, and I lost my team I had worked hard at for a longggg time. The last update was two months ago, and the game is nearly unplayable because of this glitchiness. I lost my team because of it and all I’m asking is for this bug to be fixed.
Just okay, used to be better
Used to get 3 credits for every win, now you get just 1 credit. This change makes managing a team unobtainable unless you’re constantly buying credits.
Idea
Changing the color of the football could be a nice touch like how you can change the color of the teams jerseys
Worst friggin game ever
When I am throwing the yo to my player the opponent intercepts the ball while she is to far from where I thrown it And it’s a rage bait game
Retro bowl pls add this
Lowkey if retro bowl added a career mode, and added the draft it could be the perfect game and be like retro madden.
Good game bad mechanics
Just annoying with the interceptions and “unfortunate injuries” that leave the team unless. Honestly a god game to kill time but if your not an American football wizz kid it’s annoying to play and the other team is set against you , some teams will get a few touchdown in the first half of the game and theirs is nothing you can do. Add a defensive mechanism that I can play as to stop it being a game of chance - I am a DT for my team and would love to see more defensive gameplay.
Holy Interceptions
The game overall is fun but the amount of interceptions is absolutely crazy. You could have 3 guys in a spot and one from the other team and that other dude intercepts 10/10 times
Credits
You should make it where you can buy credits, but anyways it’s the best game
Give me it back
I bought the unlimited upgrade package and when I redownloaded the game, it told me I need to buy it again. Give me my package back.
The restore purchases button doesn't work
Yeah
Lose more then you get
When you win a game the amount you get is minuscule compared to the amount you lose after the game. This makes it extremely hard to upgrade your teams abilities.
It glitches
The game keeps running in slow motion pls fix, but before that the game was really fun
Super fun, no adds, and amazing gameplay
I downloaded this game, and was surprised to find out that this game has no adds whatsoever. The only negative thing is…..nothing I can’t find any FIVE STARS ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
Do not play
Game so stupid if you are going to get the game do not every time the computer gets the ball it is a instant touchdown for them and you can’t play defensively nothing like real football
LATERALS?
The game is great in itself. But when you’re playing the game, I want you to be able to play defense, and do a 360 or a side step, laterals would be great too. The pros are you get to control your players, the system is easy.
Hand over glitches
When ever I get the ball one time it was first and goal and then it was incomplete BC I was about to get sacked then it was a hand over ( BRUHHHHHHHHH)
NFL retro bowl
Can you please make nfl retro bowl 26 free😢
Great game
This game is great it might not be like madden 25 but it sure is fun and retro👾
Unwinnable
After you play against easy CPUs, it gets you into the real game and then you can’t win anything even if it’s the worst offence and defence,they will always win you never have a chance,if you pass to your teammates and you’re running down the field guess what you get tackled, even though you’re offence is top-tier and their offence is early zero same as their defense. I don’t know how they’re faster like it makes zero sense.fix your game.
This is game is fun
It’s really fun for the first couple of days then it gets kinda boring
How is my 5 star defence getting smoked by a 1 star offence
Do the stars even matter lmao my 5 star defence is getting scored against every single time against 1 star offence
Keeps going slow-mo
Love the game but it keeps going slow mo during matches. Can we get a bug fix?
