### 5/5 — Game is really fun!

*2026-08-19*

The Game is really fun! I wish there was more customization but overall it’s fun. I would add more stats, and there is one thing where the game doesn’t save correctly and when i get off the game it sends me back a year when i log back on. Also the game needs more depth to the players this would make the game really fun!

**Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback,

Getting sent back a year when you relaunch is not supposed to happen and I'm looking into what causes it. I'll see what I can do on more stats and deeper players.

### 5/5 — Peak

*2026-08-06*

This is such an amazing game and the best at what is is trying to be. There is so many options and things to do and the best part is there are no ads at all, I could play this forever

### 5/5 — Has serious potential

*2026-08-05*

Love the game and the ability for flexibility. There are a few things in recruiting and transfer portal that can be added too along with training but solid game overall. Maybe add conference moves for teams to choose to move up or down or side ways pending on prestige.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback,

Conference realignment based on prestige is an interesting one and I'll see if I can work it in. Recruiting and the portal are where most of my attention is going right now.

### 2/5 — Meh.

*2026-05-31, version 1.5*

It’s pretty bland and lot to desire. The recruitment and transfer phase were lackluster. Wish I could see the stats of the players during offseason or after the draft. Wish there were school records being tracked. It was fun for a hour or two.

### 5/5 — The best

*2026-05-25, version 1.5*

Best game EVER!!! Could we add in season tournaments though? That would be awesome!!!

### 2/5 — Has a lot of potential

*2026-05-21*

Pretty fun overall, but there are some minor things that are really annoying and make me stop playing. The first one is at the beginning of the season it changes your player positions, what’s the point of having the option of changing positions during cut day if the computer is just going to move people around anyway? The second annoying thing is transfer recruitment, often times I have a sizable lead and some random team comes out of nowhere and takes them away. If those 2 things were fixed and giving specifics on how the offensive/defensive scheme affects the team then I would give it 5*, but as it is now these little things are frustrating and make me not want to play

**Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback,

The season start shuffle should not be overriding the positions you set on cut day. Transfers flipping late and more detail on what schemes actually change are both things I'll look at.

### 1/5 — Broken

*2026-05-05, version 1.4*

Was working great and having a blast but after my 3rd season it stopped giving my recruitment points in the off season. I was the lead team for 3 star players but was not given points so i could send the offer despite being the highest recruited for all three players. Waste of my time.

### 4/5 — Love the game but wish there was more

*2026-04-28*

CBB Simulator is already fire—the best college basketball sim on mobile. Recruiting, player development, team-building, and dynasties all feel realistic. The game does a great job with attributes, stats, and physical traits affecting outcomes.
That said, I’d love a true stats-driven mode where players could be evaluated mainly by performance rather than visible ratings. Being able to see college player stats in-game—PPG, RPG, APG, shooting percentages, efficiency—would make recruiting and scouting feel next-level. It would also let hidden gems and late bloomers shine.
Another awesome addition would be a coaching staff system, letting us hire assistants or specialists to improve recruiting, defense, or player development. That would add depth and strategy.
Finally, the recruit limit can be frustrating—allowing bigger classes or more transfers would give players more freedom to build their dream roster.
Overall, this game is already amazing. Adding a stats-driven mode, visible college player stats, coaching staff options, and removing the recruit cap would make it the ultimate college basketball sim.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback,

Putting real college stats in front of you would change scouting completely and let late bloomers stand out. I'll look at what it would take.

### 4/5 — Great Game but can add more

*2026-04-15*

Game plays great but I would like to see a few things added

Show scouted players high school stats and add there high schools.  Add juco recruits.  Add a draft and have one and dones just like real life. Add more advanced statistics. Some drama and team morale would be nice too.  Have personalitu ratings for players. Also be able to change positions like put a power forward at center or a sg or sf at point this would be especially helpful when u have an injury so you don’t need to give the healthy player at that position 40 mins.

**Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback,

Moving a forward to center when someone goes down is a real gap right now. High school stats on scouted players and juco recruits are both things I'll look into.

### 1/5 — Terrible game do not download

*2026-04-14, version 1.4*

Fake bot reviews and terrible gameplay in itself. You have to pay for 85% of the features and it is so boring and it is literally just an rng simulator. You can find a number generator and not have to pay money to access 85% of its useless features! DO 
NOT DOWNLOAD
