If you loved Retro Bowl…
Then you’ll love this! Even deeper of a sim. A few minor features are missing on launch (being able to sim games) but there’s nothing to complain about. So many new features far outweigh things like that. 10 out of 10.

One big change needed asap
First of all, I love this game so I will give it the 5/5 it deserves. However, there is one thing that could instantly make this game even better: just remove all of the GPA stuff. I don’t like having to bench my players for several games out of the season. We want to play with the players that we recruit. The GPA thing needs to be fixed, or better yet, removed completely.

Terrible Logic for Fan Morale
When as a Terrible Minor College you barely lose to the #1 Ranked Team in the Nation(by one point), your fan morale still shoots down. Makes no sense. It’s not win or depression for fans. I don’t see how devs overlooked this. Any college team ranked 100 and below( like my team was) would be happy to lose by one point/ keep it competitive with a #1 ranked team.

A Great Game! But…
Retro Bowl College is a fun and addictive football game that is almost identical to the original Retro Bowl, but with a college football theme. The gameplay is simple but challenging, and the pixel art graphics are charming.

One of the things I love most about Retro Bowl College is the team customization options. You can choose your team's name, colors, and uniforms. You can also recruit players and manage your roster. This is a great feature for fans of college football, as it allows you to build your dream team.

Another thing I enjoy about Retro Bowl College is the sense of progression. As you win games, you earn money that can be used to upgrade your stadium, training facilities, and staff. You can also use money to recruit better players. This sense of progression helps to keep the game interesting and engaging.

However, there are a few things that Retro Bowl College could improve on. First, the game could use more variety in terms of gameplay. For example, it would be nice to be able to call custom plays or edit players' personal info. Additionally, the game could use custom sliders to allow players to adjust the difficulty level to their liking.

Overall, Retro Bowl College is a great game for fans of college football. It is simple to learn but challenging to master. The team customization options are excellent, and there is a good sense of progression. However, the game could improve by adding more variety to the gameplay and custom sliders.

Very Promising
Love the concept but it doesn’t seem to be functioning properly. I paid for the unlimited version and am unable to expand my roster size or enable kick returns. I am sure this will be fixed and it will be an awesome game!
