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. ### 4/5 — Good game Buttt *2025-09-30, version 5.0.0* I have a 88 rated quarterback and I’m still getting like like 10 and seven seasons, like 12 and five like when I’m so painful it’s like maybe a 14 13 win season not 12-5 But other than that pretty good game ### 4/5 — Hard to sign contracts *2025-08-29, version 4.0.1* Good game really fun to play a bit confusing to offer contracts one change id make is make it Abel to auto resign players about a certain rating ### 3/5 — Not a review but *2025-07-27, version 4.0.1* Are you making a af26 ### 4/5 — Great base *2025-06-09, version 4.0.1* Certain features are off but overall it’s a good sim game. Names and genders don’t always match. ### 3/5 — Game is good and all but.. *2025-05-05, version 4.0.1* Plssss add community rosters plssss this would make the game really better Like the other games u have and have All time rosters I beg u ### 4/5 — Tips *2024-10-02, version 3.9.1* Is there a way to make your roasters realistic with accurate current players names in all your sports games. I think that will make a big improvement. ### 3/5 — The Quick Sim is horrible. *2024-08-20, version 3.1.2* Overall a fun game but I just don’t understand I’ve quick summed about 6-7 seasons as a QB under franchise mode at 99 overall and the only season we made the playoffs was my rookie year. I don’t get it. ### 5/5 — What I think *2024-08-20, version 3.1.2* It is the best I recommend for everyone😀🥰😎🥳🤠😺😽😼👍👍👍👍🤛🤘🙏 ### 5/5 — I love this game *2024-08-13, version 3.1.2* I love nfl bengals ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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. ### 1/5 — Changes *2025-03-16, version 4.0.1* I don’t like this game because you can’t even actually ### 1/5 — The Franchise Player Feature *2024-11-29, version 3.9.1* I came from the ABK25 basketball game expecting a similar experience but i learned that there needs to be a lot of tweaking to the Franchise Player mode. First off it seems really hard to get started since you dont earn much tp or the basic currency to start off and you pretty much have to get a lucky start to be successful. But say you have a sucesseful start and your player becomes good, you will have players 15 overalls lower then you putting up extremely better numbers on worse teams and nothing you do can change that. At first i took it as a fluke but after about 6 consecutive seasons of the same results i also notice that in the last 6-7 games your team will sunddenly start playing terrible for instance losing 63-3 46-0 and 38-0 in consecutive games to 3 of the bottom 4 teams in the entire league while have the highest rated team. please fix your game ### 1/5 — Game *2024-10-23* The play selection is janky (and you can't delete plays from your playbook or see any details about them other than their success rate), the game flow isn't real (no halftime and kickoffs, punts kinda default start you at a certain distance even if the opposing team punted from midfield which should result in a longer field, not a shorter punt), the play selection and details information is obfuscated and contradictory (why do some passing plays have negative passing bonuses, why do defensive play descriptions not match the penalties they apply, why are medium and long passes used interchangeably, what is the yardage range and success rate of each play?), and the rosters kinda lock each game into starters playing 100% of snaps (which doesn't let role players shine or really make much sense). Feels like the game lacks a lot of polish (for one, adding custom image URLs don't even get centered on the spot so logos are cut off and player headshots are off-center) but it also lacks the base level functionality of a game of football that actually makes sense. This is the least cared game along with the soccer one. ### 1/5 — This game is not good *2024-10-20, version 3.9.1* This game didn’t even let me play ### 1/5 — Can’t play landscaped *2024-09-24, version 3.9.1* No need to even try it unless you like holding your iPad up and down. I sure don’t ### 1/5 — Horrible game *2024-09-02, version 3.9.1* This game is AWFUL. The automated games turn out with 96% losses. Even if you do call the plays, the defense is impossible to get past. Stay far from this game ### 1/5 — Game *2024-06-06* The play selection is janky (and you can't delete plays from your playbook or see any details about them other than their success rate), the game flow isn't real (no halftime and kickoffs, punts kinda default start you at a certain distance even if the opposing team punted from midfield which should result in a longer field, not a shorter punt), the play selection and details information is obfuscated and contradictory (why do some passing plays have negative passing bonuses, why do defensive play descriptions not match the penalties they apply, why are medium and long passes used interchangeably, what is the yardage range and success rate of each play?), and the rosters kinda lock each game into starters playing 100% of snaps (which doesn't let role players shine or really make much sense).
