Very good but one issue
Overall I think the game is perfect, however I have a few issues, I do wish some more routes/plays were added because it still feels a little basic and most of the team colors aren’t right, Indiana has orange and white instead of Red and white as well as Iowa, so the only issue I have is some of the School’s colors not being correct, but great game!

Love at first sight.
This game is simply amazing! Having to manage all the intricacies that go along with a college football program is awesome. My only gripe is with the uniforms, some of them are so far off of what they are suppose to look like. A simple matter easily resolved with unlimited but it would have been nice to not have to spend the time on it. Can’t wait to get the restart screen so I can start using this game for my league play.

Good game but needs improvements
Good game overall but needs exhibition, needs to remove gpa needs to add a feature how much Time you practice that week and how they study that week (nobody wants to suspend their players or cut them because they can’t get their GPA up), sim game was a really good feature in the last game - bring that back, and they could add a road to glory system where you could only control the qb and make tough decisions leading with your career. Overall good game but needs some improvements

Game has the potential to be great
The whole GPA system is kinda odd, I am sure it’ll work if it were fixed up a little bit. It is way too difficult to boost the GPA. Allow players to purchase walk-ons with coins, otherwise it is almost impossible to draft a really good team. Give more money if you win the championship, $10,000 does not do a justice, especially if you don’t have any players that get drafted

GPA
This game better than the original, but all my players are stupid. The gpa system is so annoying. They don’t learn by themselves you have to bench so they can learn. Most of my players are suspended because of this. They should keep this system, but have player traits to determine their grades. And have them occasionally slip behind on grades and then you bench them after that.

Good but inaccurate
Although this is a great college football game. It felt a little bit rushed, for example alt 1 and 2 jerseys were the same for most of the teams, and the other jerseys felt to bright or had the wrong colors. The conferences and divisions are inaccurate as to the actual college football. I really like this game just needs more fixing with the colors.

Great game some bugs
Great game had some bugs over I really like it. I got the premium thing but unfortunately the 12 man roster won’t work I don’t know if it’s just me but it’s making me be stuck at a 10 min roster but it’s very clever, and covers a lot of college football, which is very hard to do but a very fun game. I recommend it to everyone.

Could have been perfect
Yes everything else is spotless but there’s 1 little problem and that’s the rankings. Right now I’m undefeated, but the team ahead of me has 1 loss and that’s to me. Crazy but it doesn't end there. The number 1 seed is a 2 loss team while the 2,3,4,5,6 are 1 loss or undefeated please fix this so we can enjoy a perfect game thank you so much for making this game to

Awesome, but literally only one problem.
So this is a great game. The cheerleaders and band are a cool touch, and it’s even better than retro bowl in some ways. My only problem is that I don’t want to by unlimited again. I bought in in regular retro bowl, so maybe it’s just me but I think it’d be great if u could link rb and rb c so that u only have to buy unlimited once. But I also want to be able to pick whatever college I want to at the beginning of a save, just like in regular rb. Other than that, great job, this is a really cool game.

It’s good but…
First off: its inaccurate, players spike after TDs which is a foul in college but the PATs are also on the 10 still which makes sense so games are more competitive.
Secondly: features like exhibiton games and simulating games is gone. I really loved simulating games
Lastly: is it hard to tell teams vs the real thing but I don’t blame you Beacuse of copyright and all that.

Anyways there are a lot of positive things but these are just my negitve thoughts.
