Leave a Review Retro Bowl College
Great game but issues
First off this is exactly what I wanted from the regular version of retro bowl…. College. It’s perfect but I am having issues where some plays drops to like 3 FPS when I hike the ball. Also, another issue I encounter is when I won a conference hit the “Continue” button it froze and didn’t do anything so I closed the app and reopened my save but it stays stuck on the loading screen. So I am assuming it is corrupted. Other than those issues I am having a good time.
Edit: They have seemed to fix this issue. Thank you for the quick response and making a great college version!Show less<<Minecraft>>

This game is great, not as good as the original yet, but there is need for improvement. Specifically, Recruiting isn’t good at all. It’s basically free agency, players cost to much and it’s a complete gamble whether there is even 1 5 star in the whole thing! In addition, switching schools needs work. I one back to back chips then transferred to a team I beat in the playoffs (that had a 4 star Offense and 3.5 defense) and they had a mid qb a “good” rb and 2 mid receivers. On the other side of the ball it was just as bad I don’t remember the specific positions but we had one 3.5 and that’s the best player. I forgot to mention this is Bama. I just think that a team like bama shouldn’t have this bad of a roster. Even now the tide has a great roster compared d to what I had.
Over it’s good but needs a bit of workShow lessGooseLover9
Needs to be more like the current college game
Love the OG retro bowl and have customized it as a college game for awhile now. So I was super excited for an actual college version to play but have found this one a little disappointing. First off, the gpa is weird as a lot of people have commented on so it needs to be changed where you don’t have to bench your players every other week. Once or twice a season seems more accurate. Second, where is the transfer portal and NIL? These are huge parts of the current game and could be easily modulated from the pro versions free agency and salary cap. New star needs to research this and add it here. It would be a nice wrinkle to have to match NIL offers from other schools between seasons.
Third, why can’t you start at the school of your choice? I like the work your way up approach but also might like to pick my team for a different game just for fun. I want to be able to do both. RB is escapist entertainment and sometimes I want to escape by working my way through the ranks and sometimes by dominating with my fave team. Give both options.
Finally, I don’t understand why certain parts of the game aren’t included. If you have kick returns why not punt returns? Kickers but not punters? Let us play defense! And actually see our defensive players we recruit in action! Let us have more players! 12 is not enough.
Overall RB is the best sports game app hands down and my fave. Keep working to make it even better.Show lessOboy_98
Love this game!
This game is fantastic. I play this game everyday and I can’t get enough of it. Although, the game is great I would make a couple changes.
The GPA on players seems like it goes down way too fast. I have to bench some of my best players every like 3 weeks so they don’t get suspended. I even recruit players with higher GPA’s even if they aren’t as good as the top recruits.
Another change I would make is the recruiting system. I feel like it’s too easy to get the top players of the class. I think it needs to be harder to recruit them especially if your record was bad last season or something like that. Players should be able to reject your offer.
Other than that it’s the best game ever!Show lessiwbedhsuwbrbfkc
4 stars, but only for now
First off I want to say this game is very fun and very unique and you get to be one of the greatest coaches ever at your favorite college. The one reason why I didn’t get five stars is because I want to be able to edit the teams, but not says I can’t access the store because I need to be connected to internet. I am already connected to internet and it still won’t work. I tried restarting and deleting the app over and over to be able to get it. Nothing will work, all I need is some feedback on what to do to help this. Is it IOS updates or is it something else because people that I know were able to access the shop just fine.Show lessDragonman284
An Amazing Sequel
I’ve loved Retro Bowl ever since I discovered it a few years ago. I’ve been watching the different content made and playing the game myself. But at certain points I’ve gotten a bit bored of the repetitive grind of Retro Bowl. This game reinstated that love. The new complexity of managing a college team is a nice refresher and I love the ways they make everything work. Gameplay is the same but it feels good not to see the same teams every game. Sure, it would be nice for their to be players on the other team (Their named and have stats like are players). But this is a great refresher and an amazing game.Show lesshuiubjhbujbhbhubhujjake
Freezes
I have played retro bowl for a while and was excited for this one, but after i completed my first season as a minor team, whenever i tapped on my coach the game would freeze and i would have to exit and go back in. Same thing also happened with the yearbook tab. I didn't care too much since I didn't absolutely need those tabs, but then it froze when it showed my teams portrait after the conference win. Whenever i try loading the save, the game just gets stuck on "loading".
I also had Retro Bowl Unlimited and it's a shame to see that it doesn't carry into this as well.Show lessDylanc0402

When I logged on today, I played a couple games and then it kicked me out the game and then when I tried loading back on, it showed a whole bunch of words number signs, and it would say loading and then after it loaded it would show all of that and then when I pressed OK, it would take me immediately out of the whole entire game, but it works on other teams that I have on the gameShow less2010201010201"2&33

I’ve played on two different accounts now. Both end with the same outcome, after I win the semi final game to make it to the national title game I end up stuck on a loading screen that never ends. Not sure if this is a bug or what but it won’t even let me on to that account, like the account can never be opened again. Other than that this is an amazing game and I would be playing this 24/7 if I didn’t have the issue that I’m having.Show lessLucky me too

This game is honestly better then the Nfl version in many ways, but on here you cant play more then 2 full seasons and it gives you a error page and makes u leave the game thats my biggest issue with it, there is some stuff that could be added, like make it so its more then 50k to start with especially without premium, make it so u can see how old they really are bc i mean u could be a freshman in college at the age of 24 u never know honestly,
Could you guys pls link the 2 games together so we dont have to buy premium again bc they are almost the same game, make it so we can like see out old college players even if hes been drafted to the Nfl, like let us see his Nfl stats year by year, let us scot high school players and u should honestly make extreme a bit harder because now its boring and easy, thank u guys so much for these fun games.Show lesstyler hand
