Reviews of The Program

  • Perfect team

    Well this my second review, cause I’ve been really hooked and I can honestly say it is truly 100% an enjoyable game but the flaw is to big. Legit had two seasons of a perfect team great QB, RB, TE, LB, CB, SS, DE, DT and OL ranging them all from 28-50 overall. I thought I finally had figured it out but yet even with those perfect teams I still lost in the most random ways. Even with no injuries blowing mofos out of the water majority of those seasons and still somehow lost my last two games and then two bowl games. Like I legit couldn’t have picked a better roster to compete and yet no matter what the cpu comes out victories. My last season went 8-3, 8-4 if you count the bowl game. Last two games my 33 overall offense could not score on 26-27 defense, all of sudden my QB couldn’t throw, RB fumbling, and WR can’t get open. Kicker can’t make field goals when it matters and the adjustments no longer help. Again I say this game is for the cpu it’s like gambling you want that win so bad so you play and play and play when you think you finally got it you lose it all. It don’t matter how perfect you play the house always wins. So ima call it because I truly do not think Ill ever make a roster or coaching staff so perfect. It was fun while it lasted. Coach goon you deserved better lol
  • 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?

    Glad to hear you're enjoying the game. If you have questions, contact support through the app and we can answer then all there.
  • Why do I bother improving my team

    First season was tough. Only won a couple of games, that’s normal. As I got used to the game and was able to build my team up, I reached a bowl game my second season, first with a rookie QB. I understood we overachieved, but despite improving at every position and upgrading my staff, 3rd season we flopped and I went 4-7. Next season hoping for a bounce back as I once again improved pretty much every position. Nope once again lost more games than I won despite having a better overall than nearly all my opponents. The plays they give you to call often force you to choose formations that don’t beat suit your team. I have 3 elite corners and haven’t been given the choice to use a nickel defense in 3 weeks. Always getting suggestions to run 4 LBs despite that being my weakest position. Now on year 5 my all conference QB as a senior is still throwing as many picks as TDs in half his games, nobody is playing better despite year over year improvement to the overall team score, each game still feels like a coin flip. I understand having randomness makes the game more interesting, and I give the game 1.5 stars because the interface of actually building the team is fun enough to keep me playing. But I will get worn out putting the effort in to make the team better and certainly won’t be spending any money on bonus stuff if it does not feel like any of it will actually lead to my team playing better

    Developer Response

    Sorry to hear you've run into some trouble. As you play, you're going to be able to get new coordinators which will allow you to have a different set of plays, and maybe some that fit your team better. In terms of the overall ratings vs other teams, those ratings give an idea of your relative strength versus other teams. But the sim doesn't just match those numbers and come up with a result. The playbooks and how players and their skills interact with plays (and how your plays match up with your opponents) are ultimately how the sim processes plays and outcomes. Contact support if you have any specific questions.
