  • Retro Bowl College Update Ideas

    I love this game and am addicted to it already! But can you please add the rest of the jerseys for teams because the alternates are mostly the same with some teams having the same. #2 fix the jerseys for Minnesota, I feel like I am playing for USC with Minnesota and I saw a different school that has jerseys that look like there’s! Now finally please fix the bug where when you tap around the menu it takes a little. Thank you

  • Great game but a few critiques

    I consider this game better than the origional retro bowl, however, there are three things that i eould love to see added in the near future. Sim game option, abilities, and a more relaxed GPA system, first of all i think that sim game should come back from the original retro bowl,However, i would like to see a new adition called an Ability, basically something special about the player ranging from valedictorian that makes it easy for them to keep their gpa up to cheetah that increases their speed stat past the normal threshold. This is an ambitious ask but i feel that would let this game take a major leap and intrest people who got bored of the original retro bowl to trysomething new. My 3rd and final ask is a relaxed GPA system, it seems like all my star players need to be benched every other game just so they won’t be suspended. Those are some ideas goodbye devs of NewStar.

  • Awesome game, but needs some fixes/improvements

    So, like many on this one, came from the NCAA 14 Revamped community. It’s GREAT. Completely worth downloading and buying if you choose to. The game play is easy to learn, the features are good for what I’d expect in a mobile game. And it fits the retro football aspect like it’s other versions.

    Great: game play, teams, features, college feel.

    Suggestions: the biggest thing that frustrates me so far is as you get hired by a new team, you don’t get that new teams “ratings”. You have to start completely over in your upgrades, which seems dumb if you are getting a “promotion”. Went from a good b12 team that was top 10 2 years in a row, to defending champ Georgia that was top rated offense/defense and upgrades. When i joined, i was disappointed to see 2* offense/defense and minimum program upgrades. It makes you not want to move schools essentially because you have to start over.

    Also, the recruiting is more of just “free agency” than recruiting. I think recruiting needs to be redone to actually do some recruiting. Follow same style as other things where you have to make decisions that affect your team, but it does it for your recruits.

    The pay to recruit is rough cause any good player is going to take up most of your budget. Pretty odd system

  • Love the game!

    I am a huge fan of the original retro bowl and this game is no different. If I could suggest 2 or 3 tweaks though. I don’t know if it’s possible but possibly a way to redshirt a freshman would be nice. Also if the team jerseys could be completed and made more accurate it would fix my OCD when selecting the team jerseys. Finally the thing I have more of an issue with is after a game, having to almost exclusively discipline 2 or 3 players makes it very hard to keep the moral up. I like the feature and I think it makes it more authentic to a college team, but maybe just dial it back a bit, or give an option to resolve instead of just discipline or ignore. Those things being said, I still love the game and I really like the differences implemented to make it stand out from the original game!

  • G.P.A.

    I love all the Retro games. This one feels like a cross between Retro Bowl and Retro Goal. This one however has an annoying flaw. If our players can’t keep their GPA up they’re suspended. The problem is that there aren’t enough FREE chances to boost their scores. Sometimes in BYE weeks you get that option. Bench them so they can study? Pffft. I’m not spending my Coach Credits on their scores. I’ll just turn Retro Bowl back on and continue playing with the pros.

  • A few more things needed

    I got this game just yesterday and I love it. It would be better with an exhibition mode and the ability to sim games, which might come in the future hopefully. One thing that needs to go is the gpa thing cause we can’t rly control what happens, it’s a video game. Other than that this game is amazing

  • I love this game

    I love this game, the only thing I can say that I don’t like is how often you have to mess with the GPA, it’s a good feature and it plays a lot into how players perform on the field. Though it does need to be toned down just a bit, I’ve also already won 2 Championships and no bigger schools wants me, does anyone know why?

  • A few in game issues but otherwise amazing

    One thing I think could use work is the inclusion of some sort of prestige for each team which affects your ability to sign good players. So bad teams stay bad longer and good teams stay good like in real cfb. I think they had a system like this in ncaa14. Also the major and minor divisions correlate with the players major and minor so if you change the division names than the players academic majors and minor titles change too.

  • Conference 12

    First off, I really like this game. It has the same feel as regular retro bowl while being like the college game. However, there are a few annoying things. Maybe I’m just unlucky, but it seems impossible to get any offers from a conference 12 team when starting a save. Also, many teams have very inaccurate colors, with a lot of schools using orange instead of red or yellow.

  • GREAT GAME but I have a recommendation

    Retro Bowl College is a GREAT idea and I love the concept behind it. One thing I’d like for the game to change is for recruiting, I’d rather it be bid offers where you could possibly do different things for an interest rate or something. Instead of it just being instant if you hit “recruit”. I’d also change if your a lower school team, it’ll be a lot harder for you to land 4/5 star players if the team doesn’t have good reputation or isn’t a Major school team. I LOVE this game tho and I’m glad it’s finally out!
