### 5/5 — The Best of the Best

*2026-07-25, version 5.0.2*

It Is the Best Greatest Thing To Ever be Created

### 5/5 — Very fun game

*2026-06-02, version 5.0.2*

Very fun game hopefully soon there will be a 3D mode were you can actually jump in & play like the basketball & baseball one

### 5/5 — Fun but some things could be added

*2026-03-15, version 5.0.2*

DEF SHOULD ADD franchise tags that would be amazing other than that game is fine

### 2/5 — qb franchise is good but not wr

*2026-03-13, version 5.0.2*

I’ve played franchise qb and it’s good you get a lot of bowls but For WR it’s kinda harder to get growth and somehow my 99 long rec 83 short rec 79 running WR gets negative yards every game QB is better than this Since I’ve played hundreds of seasons but WR franchise is janky and sucks

### 1/5 — Waste of money

*2026-01-19, version 5.0.0*

Why add an stats when they don’t have any effect. Nearly all my stats are 100 and yet I can barely get to 3000 passing yards while a 70 over qb can get 7000. That lawsuit is about to hit

### 1/5 — Cannot purchase store options

*2025-12-31*

Cannot purchase any items other than training and skill points. 
Game is too fixed against you to achieve legend status before you retire. 
Made it into a pay to win game but still stops you buying all store options. 
False advertising… Do nit but

### 1/5 — Not astonishing

*2025-12-25, version 5.0.0*

Games good but I can’t play! It simulates but I don’t play. All I do is hope the CPU does a good job. Do not recommend.

### 5/5 — W game

*2025-11-30, version 5.0.0*

Just gonna say this game is tuff🔥

### 3/5 — Honest feedback for growth

*2025-11-03*

This game has potential but needs some updates desperately. At halftime possession doesn’t reset or switch, we can’t see how many yards we get each year or after each game (just a season total), and I know you guys are capable because I’m an avid player of ABK26. 

If you guys showed this game just a bit of love I could see football fans enjoying it but until then there are better more realistic sims out there to play.

### 5/5 — Amazing game

*2025-10-22, version 5.0.0*

I love this game so much, so much fun
