A great little game to play on your phone
Honest to God I really like this game. It’s a very fun game to play. There’s a lot of things you can do on here like the recruiting is pretty cool. I like the way it Sims the games. It’s pretty fun. Good time you get kind of lost playing this game.
Garbage game do not download!!!
I decided to pay for the game in hopes that I could possibly win a game, recruit decent players, earn more coaching upgrade credits. I did not. In fact the game started to make me lose games against teams that I had more talent. These developers have absolutely no clue how to make an American football game. Absolute trash. Do not play this game! And definitely do not pay for this game. Absolute garbage. This is ridiculous. None of the changes for difficulty level I previously asked for were delivered. Also just note that if you watch the ads you may not get the bonus. I watched a minute of ads and still didn’t get the bonus and there’s no way to try again. Stupid idiot devs that totally ruined what could be a great game. The devs definitely don’t listen to your advice. On another note, never spend money. It only lasts a season, which is about an hour of gameplay. Think about a game on a ps5, would you pay 3 or 7 bucks per hour of gameplay? Absolutely not. So don’t do it here. Devs pull your head out of your underwear and give us the game we deserve and maybe we will pay 20 bucks to have it. Also new addition, you can be 3 points better than your rival on both sides of the ball, call plays designed to beat them, and still lose by 30 because the computer wants you to lose recruits. Seriously!!!! Just get a buyable permanent difficulty meter and this game would be sick. So disappointing. Ugh!!! I wish with all my heart this game was playable but it’s not. The devs will make you lose. Enjoy the anger.
Great game. Gets stagnant
The game is really great. I love how the seasons can be totally different each time and it’s really a new experience every season. However, getting only one staff token per season is a killer. When the staff cost more and more yet you still only get one, it takes exponentially longer to get new staff and it becomes a burden of just going through a season to get tokens for new staff rather than playing the game. If maybe in the later seasons you got two or three tokens it wouldn’t be so bad but even later in the game it’s still just one token.
Mediocre at best
I have been playing this game for a long time time now. The progression through the game is extremely slow and the inconsistencies will frustrate you to death. The recruiting is super annoying and you will have a recruit at 96% and they will say no and it will screw you. The game is inconsistent, has tons of flaws and even when you have the best team by far you will still lose. There is no championship game, there is not conference championship trophy, and the overall flow of the game is pretty bad. I’m frustrated often with this game and after 20+ seasons in, I’m only on the third prestige conference and I’ve had the best recruiting class for 12 seasons. It makes zero sense.
Pricing
It’s a really good game but the season pass should be 50 cents for each season of it’s gonna be 4 dollars it should atleast last 4 seasons that’s crazy pricing
good
good strategy game
Lazy Coding
The play calling in this game is absolutely abysmal. I had a game where I put in a Ilb2 blitz, and it wasn’t utilized once against a team that doesn’t even pass! Furthermore, I used this play against a team that has a mix of passing and running. That play was the only defensive play called the entire game! How is it possible that the game could simulate only calling 1 play on defense for an entire game?! This is lazy coding and game development! Every defensive play should be utilized at least once in a game. Why else would I choose them?
Game difficulty
I may just suck but I’m in year 3 and can hardly win a game.
Recruit signing/practice success probability isn’t truthful.
Just recently, I attempted to sign 3 recruits all above 3 stars. I got their chance of signing at above 78 for two and 65 for the other. All three declined. I usually brush things like this off, even though it happens quite frequently… I just let it be. HOWEVER. The next 4 recruits I tried to sign all had chances below 50% with one at 33 and another at 35. They all signed. This is a VERY annoying thing that seems to happen often. You get a recruit with very promising signing chances (70% - up) and they seem to be willing to decline more so than the probability shown. This inconsistency can even be applied to certain training regimens like the “make or break”. A player could be given a “50/50 shot” at going up 5 overall points or down 5, but on the contrary the game gives a bar for every player you have that represents the likelihood of that players training being successful. It could say a 100% success rate, but often I find it to be VERY misleading, and the player suffers. this doesn’t just apply to that specific regimen. I feel like this is a tacky money grab for the developers. They get you to make multiple micro purchases for season passes after every season because usually you’ll find that with the given amount of recruiting points in the beginning isn’t enough to absolutely guarantee anything from more than 1-2 recruits unless you spend loads on said recruits (won’t have enough for anyone else.)You purchase the game pass thinking it’s going to benefit you in signing more people only for the probabilities in the long run to not be truthful — which gets you spending more money. Please fix. This happens way too often to be just bad luck & inconveniences.
Winning Games
Even when you have the upper hand or higher average, you still cannot win games most of the time.
Great sim
Wish it was more interactive
Garbage
Game is trash. Too many recruits lost with over a 90% chance to commit.
Challengingly addictive
The upside is that the challenge keeps you coming back. You can really build and develop a good team Earlier issues have been fixed.
Random Garbage
This game is such a random garbage simulation. I’ll win every game against the hardest teams and then lose to the worst team on the game. if ratings don’t matter in this game what is the point. and the amount of times i’ve had dudes over 90% scouted and they don’t sign. really? it’s so frustrating to put hours into something that genuinely just feels like a random garbage simulation that predicts if you’re gonna win before the game starts.
Fun but flawed
I’ve been looking for an iPhone game like this and it’s almost everything I wanted, but the recruiting is ridiculous. There are seasons when the position I need most has nothing but 1 star players across the entire map. One season I needed a center and there wasn’t a single one available to recruit! They should add an option for changing the position of players on your roster. It would make recruiting and roster building less frustrating.
Great game if it didn’t piss me off
I completed my goals for the desert pacific conference, scored 61/55 gems needed to move to a new division, I finished the season 12-0 with a bowl win and 3 invites to the…Mid Mountain, Western Horizon and Sunshine Conference, I accepted the mid mountain conference, the game showed me new staff and coaches that I unlocked and even showed me the recruits, just for me to start training camp and the game to sent me back to the Desert Pacific conference and will not let me advance. I deleted the app, restarted my phone only to remain in the same conference I just moved from a minute prior.
Requires login credentials
Won’t work unless you give it your Google or Apple ID login details.
Pretty chill game
Good game basically no ads and great time killer it’s just a slow game because you obviously start off trash then have to play seasons until you are a contender
Horrible Odds
The odds are nowhere near accurate and it ends up being a pay to play. If you have 10 recruits at 60% you are likely to get 3 of them. Doggy doo doo…
Difficulty Scaling
I have teams 10 points above the opposition and still am unable to score. It’s honestly laughable, I have teams at 50 versus low 40s and I can’t even move the ball. My qb is in the 70s and he can’t compete any pass short or long
Game I come back to everytime
I think they need a little better updating with some of the features but how active and consistent the developers are with the game it keeps me coming back to see what’s changed. I think they should focus less on things like new ai face models and focus on making attributes actually translate to performance (ex higher speed -> longer more breakout runs), or adjusting the frequency of certain recruits(ex I’ll have 2 4 star Tight ends + 3 more underclassmen and it’ll give me 3 4 star prospects for the next recruiting cycle. Also, I love the overall difficulty of the game, but moving conferences is extremely difficult and honestly as someone who has spammed this game as much as I have, I don’t think it’s feasible to think someone could even move conferences within a realtime dedication for 2-4 months and extreme luck, + buying the season pass to give u extra recruiting points. I do love this game and its potential, and I’m betting on it.
Tried to enjoy it but cant…
You get a limited amount of Recruit points which is enough to maybe scout/recruit like 4-5 players….and unable to have more unless you get the chests on the scouting map or buy more. Its actually stupid, the concept is good in the game with everything else….but it just lacks enough to keep me interested. Starting in the easiest league thats already has like 40 plus rating teams but your team is around 20 and getting slapped like more than 30 points each game. Its just not enjoyable. With scouting and recruiting lacking majorly, this games is not as good as I thought it would be….only enjoyed creating the team, training players and tactics. The rest is super bad. Sorry.
Super sick concept
Love the game. Super smooth, well made. Couple tweaks could be made just like making the actually football sim a little more realistic. Had a couple times where teams have made 70+ yard field goals which is nuts but smaller things like going for it on 4th and short situations or being able to decide who your kick returner is. A little more variability in plays would be cool to see too. Overall great game though I’m hooked
Good But FIX THE AUDIO
Okay so I’m going on my 13th season. I love the recruiting side of football and that scratches that itch. Here’s some things I’d recommend to the developers: 1. There’s a generic song in the game that plays in the background that you gotta cut. It starts out catchy and then literally includes the sound of someone drowning and gasping as the song ends. I am not joking lol. It’s insane to include this in this game. Cut it! 2. Make it so you can go down conferences if you go up and want to go back and train up. 3. Once you do a few seasons you start to see some of the same AI faces. I wish there were more variety for those of us going beyond 10 seasons. 4. Make it easier for me to know what active bonuses I have so I can do better on the halftime speech. 5. More logos
Active fun game
Real active game,I have spent hours on this game.I like how the game makes you think strategically but I also I think we should be able to get recruiting points for winning games and also have the player who scores or make a play. Have a small card of the player pop up on the area of the field or touchdown ,the play happens on to show users who’s making a impact.
HORROROSO
Péssimo, não importa o quanto você selecione os melhores jogadores, leia as jogadas, o time adversário ainda continua te vencendo, simplesmente ridículo, sem sentido ou nexo, completamente estressante.
Good but should be more interactive in game
During the in game simulation we should be able to pick the play before the play starts. That would make the game more interactive and fun, not just sitting there and watching the team pick the same play over and over.
nice but pls make the gameplay itself a really good tutorial and easier to control the match
the game is good but in terms of the gameplay itself, winning is relatively hard and i do not know how should i do it since i’m always overpowered.
GREAT GAME!
Great game, should have the same game for college basketball and same concept
Painfully Frustrating
Hi, This is a game I desperately wanted to love and invested several hours playing. Unfortunately it doesn’t become enjoyable at any point as your team continually loses and is unable to score more than 1 touchdown a game with a FG to TD ratio of about 5:1 for your team and the other way around for the AI. You also get to watch the AI break for 60+ yard plays multiple times per games while in the 15 or so games I played I never broke for more than 25. Avoid this and maybe come back in 6 months but as it stands the only thing this game achieves is creating frustration and taking all the fun and joy out of the greatest sport on earth. Jordan
Nice game
Very addicting but still missing some details and additions to the game like editing your starting lineup and playstyles
Loading
I try to start my career and it will say loading team so not much I can do in the game
👍🏻
Good
Recruiting
The recruitment area needs some work. Need to be able to select more players at a time rather than just one move at a time.
The Program (Basketball Hopeful)
Absolutely love this game but i’m dying to play a basketball version🙏
It’s good
This game keeps me interested. I wish you didn’t have to pay for the pass every season. Sometimes I roll through a season quickly.
Great Game, it’s actually pretty hard to get good.
This is an awesome game to play when you’re hooked on football and bored. I would say they could add more depth to recruits and they could have development traits. But overall I rate it 9/10, it’s pretty good.
