Leave a Review Retro Bowl College
Great game with 1 issue
Everything with this game is amazing. The idea and gameplay, the overall organization of the game Is complete however, I’ve come across an issue, when winning the tangerine bowl and getting ready to play in the “major championship” right after leveling up my players my save file will not load. It just says loading on my screen and won’t load and after about 30 seconds the game just takes me back to the menu to select a saved file again.Show lessFabricxx

Please check for version updates 0.8.12 or later. This should hopefully fix your crash issue. If it does not, please contact support@newstargames.com so that we can investigate your issue further. Thank you.Retro Bowl College Team Colors
I just downloaded the game an hour ago and took over Colorado and I was switching between the conferences and teams and none of the jerseys match the real time colors. Is that something that will be patched and done? The game is awesome so far, I love the concept and idea. It’s cool, on the OG retro bowl I made all the college teams and their matching jerseys and everything, so it’s cool to see RB College now! Just wish the jerseys and colors matched the current teams, going through and doing it takes forever.Show lessyea_itscal3b
Had Promise
The game itself is good. Keeps you entertained and the ability to build a team to be an eventual title contender is what makes college football games great. However, the game crashed during the end of my Y4 season, after i had purchased the full version of the game and 500 credits to help improve my team. After crashing my save file is no longer there and my credits are gone. Restoring purchases did not resolve the issue. So, overall it’s a good game with alot of potential, but be aware of bugs that could waste your time spent in the game and/or money wasted on in game purchases.Show lessJgdssfgvtrescvg
Great game to freshen up some retro football! But…
This game is would say is definitely better than Retro Bowl. Even though I still like the original, this college edition is much more complex with rankings, and playoffs. However I have been playing this game for the past few days and I just finished a season and then closed out of the game. Before I closed out was the picture of my team showing that I won conference. Once I went back into the app, that particular game would not load and said there was an error and closed out the app. I would like to now out the developers could somehow fix this since I was starting to become committed to that save. So if you ca n look at this problem.. that would be great. Thanks.Show lessTicats23

This game is an AMAZING football game, and it is retro bowl (NFL) but with a new coat of paint, But… This does not deserve the hate that it gets. It is a Good game for college football fans, because you know how the NCAAF Rules work and the rules for college are different than the Pro league. The top 25 is an AMAZING feature and an excellent system and ai (I have Played so MUCH RETRO BOWL COLLEGE!!). The game is a deep game and I have not won a championship yet but I am Close!
I adore New Star Games!
The game is Definitely a College Game, And it portrays the college Dynasty Well.
(But even though I say lots of stuff there are some Minor details/bugs that I want fixed or improved. I am not saying you should not download the Game because I love the game and some of these bugs/Minor Details May just be On my IPad (IPad Air 2). So Please do not take any of this Personally To New Star Games, Because this is just Helpful Criticism)
1. First of all… when you are on 1st/2nd/3rd/4th & inches, the pause button covers the number.
2. When I press the the “YearBook Button” There is this Error screen and when I press OK It takes me out of the app.
And that is my Review 9/10! Thank you for Reading this Review!

Great but a few problems
This game is honestly fun and fun to the point where just like in retro bowl I spent 99 cents for the other stuff and I don’t regret it. But there’s a few problems. I feel like you should add a little more things because sometimes it feels like I’m playing regular retro bowl but that isn’t the real problem. For some reason after I had a winning season and I became champion my game just crashed and now that save file won’t load and it’s stuck in an infinite loading loop. Please if you can find a way pls fix this and thank you.Show lessTLJkids

This game doesn't hold a candle to the pro Retro Bowl, for one reason: Recruiting and roster building is absolutely broken. There aren't enough ways to raise scholarship dollars, and the prices of players are too high... so you can't possibly build a balanced team. You either end up with one side of the ball being much better than the other, or you only have 5 or 6 players. The game also screws you when you take a new job. I moved up to the Ohio S. job. In real life it's one of the 5-10 best jobs in college football. The team was pretty well rated on the job selection screen. After I took the job, suddenly they were a disaster. I only had four players, with no QB... and somehow all the players who left only gave me $17K in scholarship money... and all the recruitable QBs cost more than that. So I'm supposed to play an entire season (and maybe longer) without a QB? That would never, ever happen. Especially not at a top school. This game needs a lot of work.Show lessmmmmsnouts
Best game!
New star is very nice company and I would totally recommend RB College over the the original RB. It has so many teams to choose from and you can always find a good team to start with. Most of the good teams though, you usually can’t start with you have to play a season with another team which I actually like better that the original RB. The rules for college in the game sort if differ so like some college rules are in it but some aren’t which I think could be tweaked a bit, but this game is awesome!Show lesshibdifer
Lots of potential
I’m probably biased seeing as i had a Retro Bowl save with all college teams, but this game is phenomenal. all of the things i wish could be added are little things that’d make it fantastic, but are far from shiny. The only two big things i wish are that all the uniforms get updated, which will take time and might not be a problem for me soon with premium, and that some of the menu stuff is faster. besides that, I think it’d be cool to have a Gameday or Lee Corso reminiscent thing, a student section, neutral sight games, [color]-out games, etc.Show lessNicki HM
Playing RB Since Day 1
I have been a retro bowl fan since January of 2020, I was an OG and I knew about the games existence before anyone else did.
After seeing how popular this game has become throughout the past 3 (almost 4) years, I want to say congratulations with all the success, and thank you for giving us a FANTASTIC college version of this game. The amount of depth in both RB and this is unbelievably impressive and it still has that good ol’ 1987 charm.
