### 4/5 — Idea

*2026-06-09, version 1.1.1*

Big fan of sports simulation dynasty style game have tried them all! This one was engaging and fun. Would love to see a college baseball version.

### 4/5 — Great game but…

*2025-07-19, version 1.1.1*

Really great game. I was hoping for a new version to come out soon. Just some minor things that need to be fixed like balancing scoring from all positions/overalls. Like if I have a high rated center. He should do more scoring than my lower rated point guard.

### 3/5 — Auto recruiting

*2025-06-29, version 1.1.1*

One thing that all the games use is auto recruiting. It makes the game way easier and you can worry about the regular season than getting recruits in the middle of the season. It well auto recruit for you so you don’t
 have to worry about it.

### 3/5 — Creation

*2025-02-04, version 1.1.1*

I wish you create/edit the players overalls like CFB 2 Sim

### 4/5 — Good Game

*2024-03-03, version 1.1.1*

I’m going to keep this short. I think this game just needs a revamp just like the college football game got. 

The game is good and all but I think there can be more added and a better navigation system.

### 3/5 — Good minus PG glitch

*2024-01-16, version 1.1.1*

Having a strong PG is still super important to team success. Also, facing a team with a strong PG sometimes caused my team with a better PG and overall team to lose. It still seems to be the only position that matters in this game I really enjoyed the aesthetics and recruiting process.

### 4/5 — Real life teams

*2023-01-03, version 1.0.9*

Is there a way we can import real life teams and conferences.

### 4/5 — Suggestion

*2022-03-18, version 1.0.9*

Would be cool for a baseball version. Both Basketball and Football are some of the most played games on my phone.

### 4/5 — One tiny thing

*2021-12-17, version 1.0.9*

It’s great only thing is I wish there were less teams, maybe the teams in the football sim, and when I export the save instead of the names of the players/coaches it’s all numbers and letters….other than that it’s pretty good.

### 4/5 — Good but needs fixing

*2021-09-22, version 1.0.9*

I was in my second year and won the conference championships but got fired. I also had the number 5 recruiting class please fix.

### 4/5 — Not bad

*2021-09-19, version 1.0.9*

This game is not a bad game if your interested in the challenge of recruiting and building your college team to be champions.  I’ve just finished my first season with my team and the recruiting was not bad.  The off season threw me off quite a bit, especially the player transfers part.  Teams bidding on the players is kind of unrealistic.  Having the player randomly generate new teams including the current team would be better.  Adding a recruiting section during the off-season linking the time used for player transfers and recruiting to the same week would add somewhat of a challenge as well.  Especially if you don’t get all committed spots filled until the off-season like I did playing with a weaker team.  The season overall was really good, but making the layout similar to the football version would make it better.

### 4/5 — pls get a college baseball game!!!!!

*2021-09-14, version 1.0.9*

pls get a college baseball game. the basketball and football are great! my only problem is i need college baseball!

### 4/5 — Good game

*2021-06-12, version 1.0.9*

You should make a college baseball version

### 4/5 — Good but needs some fixing

*2021-06-10, version 1.0.9*

I do enjoy playing this game and can play it for hours with the amount of recruiting needed to build and keep a year to year contender. One of my biggest problems with the game is that it’s very PG dependent for team success. No other position on the court seems to hold as much value in this game. In my first season, my PG was All Conference Player of the Year and All Conference First Team, with should lead one to believe he was one of the best PG’s in the country. However, he went #11 in the draft, only for me to find out the the 10 picks in front of him were ALL PG’s. SG’s are 90 overall and average 7 ppg, as well as every other position and PG’s run the game with everyone one averaging 24 ppg. Just feels pointless in recruiting other positions when I know if my PG leaves, no one else will fill the scoring gap even with the rest of the lineup are 90+’s

### 3/5 — Saving bug

*2021-06-08, version 1.0.9*

I’m having a bug after the recent update with saving. It will just keep loading your save and the only way to close out of it is by fully closing the app.

### 4/5 — Baseball

*2021-06-01, version 1.0.9*

We need a baseball version of this please!

### 4/5 — Transfer portal

*2021-04-15, version 1.0.9*

Please fix the transfer portal, it’s impossible to get a player. It. Always goes to 625 on the bids and seems to be on a timer per second a bid.

### 3/5 — DRAFT

*2021-04-13, version 1.0.9*

Great Game but literally all 60 Draft Picks are Point Guards every single year. The Player of the Year in every Conference is a Point Guard. It makes the game bad. And the game randomly chooses to just stop tracking my coaching stats so my record doesn’t reflect the games and championships I have won.

### 1/5 — More Ads

*2023-06-25, version 1.1.1*

The number of ads has dramatically increased with the most recent update to where you can barely play the game without hitting another advertisement.  

Don’t plan to pay the extra fee to get rid of ads so I’m just deleting.

### 1/5 — Can’t find rosters

*2021-10-24, version 1.0.9*

Can’t find a roster url anywhere…

### 1/5 — Make it like the football version

*2021-06-07, version 1.0.9*

Very hard to know what to do it’s not very organized. But the way the football one is set up makes it easy to know what to do and how to play the game. If u can tell me how what to do pls do

### 1/5 — DO NOT PLAY BROKEN

*2021-04-09, version 1.0.9*

It’a incredibly frustrating to be the #1 team for a recruit and then they don’t commit to you... like that’s just broken. Starting out as a bad team is also very hard and I’m pretty sure it is impossible. Recruiting needs an overhaul as well as progression. In football I was able to take a bad team to become good but can’t in this game. It would also be nice to be able to see conferences for national tournament results the week after advancing. 

To continue, the coach progression also needs a complete overhaul, 250 points just to bump one star one point??? Also an edit coach stat and played stat feature would go a long way and actually make the game playable.

### 1/5 — Unfinished

*2021-03-01, version 1.0.6*

Players barely progress in off season. You can’t try and rebuild a bad program due to the flaws in the recruiting and player progression. This is the least comprehensive of the CBB dynasty apps out there. Has some interesting ideas but not executed or developed in meaningful ways. If the game had just came out I would be optimistic that updates would solve some obvious bugs and enhance features which are lacking but that’s not the case. Disappointing.

### 1/5 — Nothing like CFB

*2021-02-21, version 1.0.4*

I really like CFB and I play it all the time, however, this simply doesn’t compare. It’s super clunky and there are a lot of missing details that could really make the experience easier. Getting to everything is very convoluted and it’s makes the experience less enjoyable. If this game had the same UI as CFB, it would be a much better game

### 2/5 — Gamepl

*2023-06-24, version 1.1.0*

Why ia all the player getting drafted point guard and the game so point guard dependent

### 2/5 — Really confusing

*2022-04-23, version 1.0.9*

To be honest, I really only downloaded this game because I loved the other two Jaco games, and let me say, this one turned out to be the runt of the litter. This game is waaaay too confusing. There are way too many divisions in full mode and not enough in simple mode. And the teams, don’t even get me started on the teams, the thing is, I can’t find any of my favorite teams in career mode. I’m just like, “Oh well where is Duke or Gonzaga or Baylor or any of those teams?” And I can’t find any of them because 1. All the teams are heavily disguised so Jaco doesn’t get sued, and 2. SO ARE THE DIVISIONS! So not only can I not find the teams I want, but I can’t find any of the divisions they’re in, either. You should’ve just stuck with Box Office Sim or College Football, Jaco.

### 2/5 — Good game until it wasn’t

*2021-06-29, version 1.0.9*

I was really enjoying this game. I started off as a coach at a middling power 5 school and then recruited well and took the team to the final four. In that same year I brought in the number 1 recruiting class in the country, and then I got fired???
That doesn’t make any sense. Will not be playing again

### 2/5 — Can’t play

*2021-06-23, version 1.0.9*

Get in to the game then try and type my coach name but keeps saying error

### 5/5 — The Game

*2024-03-25, version 1.1.1*

One of the best games ever, just wish it was easier to recruit. Also manage the games more, EX. You load into the game and you get a situation, and you have to make a decision based on the situation. Good game though.

### 5/5 — Do a baseball game

*2021-11-22, version 1.0.9*

Do a baseball game

### 5/5 — Great Game

*2021-09-12, version 1.0.9*

Such a great game. Try adding sandbox mode where we can edit anything such as players attributes and such stuff like that. But anyways its a great game, I hope we get more updates

### 5/5 — Good game

*2021-08-02, version 1.0.9*

Is a very good game is fun and could play for hours but there are some bugs other wise good 
(Please make a baseball version)

### 5/5 — Enjoying it

*2021-06-28, version 1.0.9*

Enjoying the game so far, looking forward to more features and updates, not really a basketball person so hope you’ll do a volleyball version! <3

### 5/5 — Game Improvements/suggestions

*2021-04-02, version 1.0.9*

I like the fact that you guys implement feedback from your reviews, I hope you get more downloads, the game is fun.

I’d just say improve the recruitment feature a little more so its unique.

Make it so you dont lose progress if your phone dies or shuts off.

Add some more details to the games, maybe like a live sim or the ability to call timeouts and call plays. 

Add player stats

Have the ability to create defensive or offensive plays.

A create a team feature, where you could start from scratch.

I believe that with these features added, the game could be great, ill stay updated!

### 5/5 — Stats Fix

*2021-03-17, version 1.0.9*

Really great game, my only problem is the stats. No matter what overall or who else is on the court, the PG’s always dominate the game. Would love to see some of my other guys get good stats and perform based off their overall. Other than that, love this game!

### 5/5 — College baseball

*2021-03-09, version 1.0.8*

I wish would do a college baseball game of this

### 5/5 — Amazing

*2021-03-09, version 1.0.8*

I can’t stop play this game is amazing and it has so much More potential the main thing I wish they would add is in game coaching so you can really lead your team to victory

### 5/5 — Entertaining

*2021-03-01, version 1.0.6*

I have really enjoyed the football and now basketball versions of the game. However there is an issue with recruiting for the basketball game. You can’t use repeat last call for whatever reason it shows the prospect has been called but doesn’t give a breakdown of how many points gained so manually doing the call each round takes away but not enough to lower the rating.

NOW IM WAITING FOR COLLEGE BASEBALL!!!
