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. ### 4/5 — Great but please fix the injury bug *2026-04-05, version 1.3* Player still injured with a minor injury even though he was supposed to return weeks ago. ### 4/5 — Great game, needs some adjustments *2026-03-24* I’ve been playing for the last week and having a great time building my coach from the floor and now at a mid-tier program. Building your roster is fun but it took me a while to figure out that I can’t over-recruit to account for potential transfers or cuts. You can sign up to a 15-player roster (combining expected returning players and recruits) during the season. You can over-recruit through the portal and cut down to 15. I also wondered why I was signing players when I wasn’t first in interest, before eventually realizing those other teams likely had full rosters. Recruiting at a small school is super unpredictable, you never know who you’ll sign or if you’ll sign anyone. One other thing that needs work is CPU-roster building. There needs to be some sort of ‘staying power’ feature for the blue blood programs/elite conferences. Simming several years leads to extreme parity amongst conferences and diminishes the idea of an upset. In my latest season, two 16 seeds upset 1 seeds (shouldn’t happen twice in one year) but at least one of the 16 seeds is a 90 overall Youngstown State team that went 29-7. So my team, as an 8 seed, is an underdog to the 16 seed in the second round. Fun game overall but could be even better! Hopefully updates will help address some of these things. **Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback, The 15 player limit and the reason interest drops off against full rosters should both be visible in game instead of something you work out over a season. I'll see what I can do there. ### 5/5 — Bug injuries *2026-03-23, version 1.3* I’m having a bug where when players get injured they never recover from the injury. ### 5/5 — Great game!! *2026-03-23, version 1.3* Love this game, really enjoy playing. The only Issue, my players aren’t coming back from injury. ### 4/5 — Great app *2026-03-21, version 1.3* All I can complain about is on a couple of my teams it will not let me advance to the tournament after I have won my conference ### 5/5 — Awesome Simple Sim *2026-03-19, version 1.3* Wonderfully simple and engaging College Basketball Sim. Wish you could add more teams/confrences (Big East) ### 3/5 — Crash *2026-03-15, version 1.3* The game keeps crashing in the transfer portal after a few years a great game though ### 4/5 — Freezing bug *2026-03-14* Overall good game, only problem is that it keeps freezing/wont stop loading at the same point and it’s kinda annoying cause you can’t do anything about it ### 5/5 — Love the game but the injuries have a bug *2026-03-13* I love this game and all of your other games. I even am currently playing your beta version of road to fame, but the injuries on here seem to be season ending even if it says minor **Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback, A minor injury should not cost a full season and I'll look at how the length is getting set. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 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. ### 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 ### 1/5 — Fix your App! *2026-04-05, version 1.3* So many bugs , fix it , save files not being able to advance. For example getting stuck at a certain point in the Tournament. Fix your app ! ### 1/5 — Injuries *2026-03-31, version 1.3* Injured players do not come off of the injury report for some reason even 2 months past their injury return date. Big bug. ### 1/5 — Don’t buy anything from this game it’s a scam *2026-02-06, version 1.0.1* No good ### 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. ### 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. ### 3/5 — Game is good but frustrating *2026-03-25* The recruitment in specifically for high schoolers is broken. at the moment of the top 50 up to 40% will remain uncommitted at the end of the recruitment period. You genuinely cannot get to the required interest percentage to gain commitment from any recruit starting under 30% for your school. The problem is a large percentage of recruits start without any school able to get their commitment. **Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback, Recruits sitting uncommitted at the end of the period means the interest thresholds are set higher than anyone can actually reach. I'll go through those numbers. ### 3/5 — Glitchy but fun for a bit *2026-03-23* Simmed 2.5 seasons before dynasty file was corrupted and had to delete. Some glitches…Recruits get reassigned positions, lineups and minutes get reset weekly, can’t turn off the minutes auto set (maybe only in God mode?), recruit interest doesn’t make sense (eg had a PG drafted #3 overall and no quality PG on the roster but new recruits had 0 interest even with a 80+ prestige…not even 1* recruits had interest), player with minor injury returned months later than expected and then duplicated in my lineup and couldn’t remove the duplicate. **Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback, A dynasty file corrupting at 2.5 seasons is the one that bothers me most out of that list, with lineups and minutes resetting every week close behind. I'll work through them. ### 3/5 — Contact Renewal Bug *2026-03-17* Great game, but there seems to be a bug with the contract renewals. I have played twice now and both times the same thing happened - My contract expired and I was offered the chance to renew it. I chose to renew it. The game then said I had been fired and needed to choose a new job but also that no jobs were available. There seems to be no way to continue the game after this point as I must select a job offer to continue but no job offers are available to select. It seems like the only way to continue is to restart and always move to a new team never renewing contracts perhaps? **Developer response:** Thanks for the feedback, Renewing should never leave you without a job and I'll take a look at what that path is doing. Moving teams is the safer route until then, though you shouldn't have to plan around it. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 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. ### 5/5 — The best *2026-05-25, version 1.5* Best game EVER!!! Could we add in season tournaments though? That would be awesome!!! ### 5/5 — Great *2026-04-11, version 1.4* Great game wish you could sort player stats ### 5/5 — Suggestions *2026-04-11, version 1.4* Pls add where you can retire your coach and adding the NIT tournament would be fun ### 5/5 — So good *2026-04-02, version 1.3* Best game i’ve ever played ### 5/5 — The ultimate College Basketball sim *2026-03-29* If you’re looking for a CBB game that feels real this the game for you. I started at a mid major ( Tulane) before going to BYU and it’s been a refreshing challenge as far game plan and recruiting goes. I’m currently on my first tourney run with BYU hoping I win a championship ### 5/5 — Freezing bug *2026-03-26, version 1.3* Great game, only thing I wish they added was coaches ability to retire ### 5/5 — Love the game but wish there was more *2026-03-25, version 1.3* 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.
