Phone overheats
Love the game but only issue it when I play it, my phone overheats.
Great Potential
This game has all the potential in the world and I think when it has been out a little longer, it will be a great sim. I plan to circle back at that point for sure!
For now, if someone wants to download this game, I would consider yourself almost like a beta tester. The game is still being developed, and it is clear the developer is plugged in and active with updates. But the crashes you read about in the other reviews are still very real. I downloaded the game and worked through three weeks of a season. Two of the three games I played crashed in the last minute of the game. One time I was able to restart it and the outcome was relatively unchanged. The second time, the game crashed multiple times when I had a small lead and had the ball. The first two times it crashed, I was in easy field goal range and was either going to run the clock out or kick a short field goal that would have put it away. On the third time, when restarting finally worked, my team punted immediately after the restart and the other team won. Lol.
Other than being buggy, my biggest criticism would be that the tutorial still needs to be developed. There is a “tutorial”, but it is essentially just a listing of the features of the game. It doesn’t actually tell you how they work. So for example, in the first few weeks of recruiting, you get scouting points. Appropriately, the number of points is commiserate with the status of your program. You spend the points each week and they regenerate for the following week. In the fourth week, it switches from scouting points to recruiting points. But nowhere in the game does it tell you that the very small number of recruiting points you get is for the entire season, not just that week. Unless I missed it, that information is not available using the information button on that screen, and it’s definitely not in the tutorial. Anyway… this is something else I’m sure the developer will build out with time.
As far as the positives… my favorite thing set this one apart from some other simulators is the fact that you can start as a coordinator, which is way more realistic than starting as a 25-year-old head coach. As a coordinator, you only call plays on one side of the ball and you only recruit one side of the ball. I didn’t get far enough in the game to see for sure, but I assume you can eventually get job offers to advance to a head coach job. If so, that would be cool and pretty unique among college football simulators.

Great but will be better
The concept and everything is great, but it freezes when you simulate a game whether it’s set to fast or instant. Besides that, I love it so far but it’s annoying having to close the app every 5 minutes when a game freezes

Random teams logos disappear
Great game
This game is great. Just wish the trophy room would work I win bowl games and do not get that achievement. Also which it told u how to get each trophy. I can not seem to get defensive mastery
Great Game!!
Love the simulation game, wish the numbers of the players were included.
Love this one
This one is good. The UI is elite and the option to improve sim wins for better teams is a nice touch. I haven’t paid and I am still having a good time.
Issue:
- so far I’m two seasons in and I have games that freeze with about 40 seconds left. I force close and replay so no biggie.
Wish:
- when simming I wish that pop up controller was in its own space instead of an overlay. I like to see the win percentage change without constantly swooping or holding to view.
- custom / modular views would be cool like I want to see the score, down and distance, the field position graphic, the recent play and the win percentage while I sim through the game.
- as a coordinator I would like to see the full class when recruiting ends, not just my side
- the ability to adjust a slider before or during the game to determine run/pass conservative/aggressiveness would further the gap against cfb sim competition
10/12 edit: thank you

New addition
I think you should add the ability to create a offensive and defensive playbook and allow us to see our offense operate the play against the defense. And allow us to choose whether we call the defense or offense.
freezing
i dont know if its just me but if i go into a game and try to sim to half, the next quarter, or then end of the game it completely freezes and i have to close out the game and lose all progress. other than that the game is fantastic
Great Game!
I am Trying To Make CFB 26-27 on here, it’s almost finished! But To Make The Game Better, I think we need Exhibition Games (Versus) no season, just quick game

Good game
The game is good, except there is a lot of lag
nice game
this game is just really fun
Ny6
Also could u add the bowl logos to the middle of the field during bowl games?
Great game
It's a really fun game; I have 1 suggestion. When you have god mode, can you add an option to switch to any team?
Fun and addicting but not realistic
When I played for the first time on CFB sim I picked the best school possible and we went 6-6 and when I went to player development it said not a single one of my position groups where above a 80 it just needs some major advancements
Almost fun
Game crashes every other week in sim, you will always lose a string of games late into the season (even if you are playing Bethune Cookman). It’s so close to being fun but more work is needed.
Great Game…missing Detail
I have honestly been a fan of this game for so long now. It’s only really missing 2 things 1. Accurate Details EXAMPLE: When I finish a game, my team may have let’s say 322 yards passing, but my qb in his stats only has 318 yards passing. I know it’s a small thing but the details are what matter in games like this. 2. There should really be a records section, where you could have all time records for game, season, and career. These things would make the game the best on the market.

The game is perfect
I stopped playing a month ago, since then everything been a redone and holy this game is the perfect game. Couldn’t ask for a better game!
Excellent game, one recommendation
This game is a whole lot of fun. A feature I think would be great for those who have the God Mode feature, add tabs in actual games like “force interception” and “force fumble” for defense and on offense “force score” probably seem petty and small but for a God mode having complete control of even the individual games would be cool. I know not for everyone one but I think it would make the God Mode setting improved. Awesome game otherwise though!
