Great Game!
It’s a great game as it is, but here’s a few things I would recommend. This is really just a personal wish list, but hey: -Road to Glory (or similar “story” based mode) -Customizable end zones -Coin flip to start each game -Better color customization. The codes/numbers that you have to use for colors is confusing and makes it frustrating to customize your team This last one is a bit convoluted, but here it is anyways: -Dynamic mode feels a little wonky to me. If you play well, every team you play will be challenging to a certain extent. Is there a way to make it so bad teams are bad and good teams are good? As it is right now, if I Simulate a game, my 5-star offense gets locked down by my opponent’s 3-star defense, and my 5-star defense cannot force a turnover or even a punt against a 3-star offense to save their lives. It turns every game into a one-score game which is a bit repetitive. I’d like to see it switched up a bit more to have some blowouts and some close losses instead of all of them being close games where you win by a touchdown. Still, it’s an easy 5/5 Stars for me!

I think it’s good but make it that your able to go against top 10 when you start and to have more money
Sadly not as good as retro bowl (the original)
I’ve been playing Retro Bowl for a long time and I really enjoy it. In my opinion, it’s an awesome mobile game. Unfortunately, Retro Bowl College doesn’t come close to the original. There are three major issues that make the game almost unplayable for me. First, you can’t choose the team you want to start with. Instead, you have to pick from a limited selection the game gives you. I think that’s pretty bad. Of course it’s more realistic, but in the original Retro Bowl there is an option to turn that system off so you can immediately play with the team you actually want. Another problem is the licensing situation. In Retro Bowl, the real team names are missing, but the jerseys still resemble the real teams. In Retro Bowl College, however, the jerseys are different, the names are different, and it just doesn’t feel like real college football at all. I also don’t like how team strength works when starting a new save. If you select a team that is shown as having, for example, 4.5 stars on offense and 4 stars on defense, the team should actually be that strong when the game starts. Right now, you can pick a strong team, but once the save begins the team suddenly becomes very weak, like 2 stars on offense and 1.5 on defense. This makes the team selection at the beginning feel meaningless. It would be much better if the game kept the actual team strength that is shown when choosing a team, even if the individual players are still randomly generated.
Jerseys
It’s a great game but should add more jerseys to all the teams
Old school fun
Easy to play, awesome way to pass the time leading your team To the championship game!
Update Broke The Game
Update or something broke the game, everything is in extra slow-mo and sees impossible to work around. Have tried restarting, pausing, etc. and it’s still stuck in slow-mo.
Solid fun
Ese gris güey te pasas de Tyme no Ricardo que eres mi Mainz mía, Phone de relleno no entender
Bugged
The game is good but every close position the ball just teleports to the defence like it happened twice in a game. That’s the only reason why I dislike this game, but it has also sold me a lot so boohoo.
Sim engine is broken + No new update
When u sim on easy, the other team usually scores like they are on extreme. Just lost 43-7 with my 5 star team because I wanted to make a realistic tune up game. The fact that we haven’t gotten any updates that.make this game playable again is unfortunate. Make this game more like hoopland with pro days, Spring games and transfer portal. Overall a good game but details like those would give it 5 stars.
Great game
Amazing overall game I like how it allows you to be the head coach and face the challenges that the teams bring just like how the teams in real life would.
Bad
Just bad
Awesome Game
I really have enjoyed playing this game. I would enjoy little bit more if there were more plays to call also be cool idea if you could call Defense and Offense play calls like a play book that would be pretty cool. Also if the Ai could be smarter because some plays are too easy to score on but other then that great game.
Please fix it!!
The game doesn’t work!! I was so mad then it didn’t work!! Please fix it!!!!!!!!!!!!
Not as good as its big brother
Not true
Rb college
It’s perfect no matter what happens
Terrible
This game sucks so bad
No title
Good game overall just wish it’s a little bit easier to get on a better team
PLEASE!!!
We need the simulate option! Please!!’
Simulation
I love playing this game but I wish there was a way to simulate games
RBC
I love this game and yes I like the NFL one too but this one has so much more things to it and it’s much better then the other one
Mac is not working
It don’t work on MacBooks
Recruiting class
There are glitches where the next class couple classes are really bad and stay really bad if this could be fixed that would be great.
Make game simulations
The game would be a lot better if you could simulate the games because after about a season, I find it gets boring
Add simming
Please add simming it takes so long to play thru the season especially when ur team sucks it makes me wanna quit
SO GOOD!!!!! 😁🏈
I personally think this game is better then the first because of the added depth and difficulty, I love the strategy involved and it always keeps me on my toes. I also can’t believe that this game is free with zero adds, and unlimited is only $0.99 🤯😱 This is the one game that isn’t focused on stealing money from their players! All in all, this game is superior to the first insanely fun to play and it’s free!
Boring
Every AI play results in a TD. Forced fumbles every 2nd play. Basically impossible to make long term progress without spending real money.
J
Love the game it’s fun honestly making me wish you guys made more football games
Save file corrupted
Save Game file became corrupted after year 3 in the game and won’t load anymore
love the game, need simulation matches
game is amazing, love it more then the normal retro bowl but we need game sim!!
Nice
Really great game
Fun but pay to win
It is very difficult to keep players and coaches happy, win games AND get good grades, so you are forced to invest real money, if you want to succeed…
This games great
But it definitely needs a sim button for the games
Help
Shi not letting me back into the game idk wats happening legit logs me out when I click on the app
Best game there is on iPhone.
Better than Tecmo Bowl.
It doesnt work for mac
It doesnt work for mac
Nice game but needs improvement
I find the game really good but I have a list of things that would make it better. 1.Stadium logo: Players can import logos that will be showed at the centre of the field 2. End zone customization: Name of the team or players could import their own 3.some sort of screen shake and loud crowd noises on bigger and more hardcore stadiums 4.specific chants for teams 5.ui improvements in postseason (bowls) 6.bowl customization Players can import their own bowl logo for these special games 7.better recruitment (more walk ons and more interesting recruiting) Thank you
Overall well done but ……
Great game, overall well done, but…. it would be better if we could play defence. Not having to play defence limits the fun and experience of this game.
I enjoy this game a lot
I enjoy this game a lot it’s fun and I like customizing the teams into my own names and colors. I wish more retro games like these existed one of hockey, basketball, baseball, soccer.
retro collage
can you make so you can use it on laptop
Very good
The only thing you should add is simulating
Fun but needs improvements
Very fun and great game but we need things in retro bowl that aren’t in this game. Also add new features like making your characters debate over if they want to go to your college or not, so you have to approach them over the season. And the big one, simulate games must be added
Best game oat
Peak asf
Boring
Boring
Needs Exhibition Game
This needs exhibition game too

Simmed match option and transfer portal would be cool .
