Just wanted to pat the developer on the back
It really feels like the developer of this game cares and is constantly putting in new material, will be watching to see if he makes a college football version 🙌🏾
Good game, but some things could get fixed or added
The good thing about this game is that you could play this game hours when you’re bored and you’ll forget what time it was, and it would be 2:00 AM and you just thought it was 5:00 PM. One thing that could be fix would be when I was playing for a mid-major team, I went 19-12 in my first season, in my second season I went 25-5 didn’t get any good power 4 teams or power 5 teams, third season I went 23-7 didn’t get any power 4 or 5 teams, fourth season I went 24-6 didn’t get any power 4 or 5 teams, my 5th season I went 19-11 and made the tournament, the best team I got was Berkeley which were a 69 overall I was a 79 overall and it wouldn’t be worth it. So it basically like you have to make a tournament run to get a power 4 offer. Second thing, the game has good teams that aren’t good like Miami Hurricanes, who were a 70 overall and they were medium to beat, which isn’t right. While Durham Blue Devils, weren’t even a top team. Third their are too many upsets, I losses 5 games in a row to teams that had 15 or below wins. The worst team I loss to was a 0-11 team and I was a 12-0 team. Fourth thing is the game can be hard it hard to win a tournament games or make it to the tournament. fifth thing I was a 25-5 team was a mid-major but didn’t win conference, wasn’t rank, and didn’t make the tournament but I had a good record and was rank at some point during the season. I was ranked 17th and I loss two games, and then they unranked me I should’ve been a least a 25th rank team in the country but they unranked me. Then I only loss one game after that for the rest of the season and didn’t get rank. Sixs thing at the end of the season every year their so many of my players of my team enter the transfer portal. Every year their a average of 11 players enter the transfer portal from just my team, and when you pay them to try to get them to stay, I was had a high mid-major they ask for 300,000+ which I’m not paying especially if they are a 70 under overall. Seventh things, their are so many PG that are 5’11’’ and under, which in real college basketball their only like 7-10 under 6 foot that are D1 players. SG, there’s 6’8’’ and under but a lot of them are 6’2’’ or some were 5’11’’ which more college SG’s are 6’4’’ or taller. SF same thing their were 6’3’’ SF and lot of them were 6’4’’ and their are like only 15 6’4’’ SF that are D1 and most SF are 6’6’’ and taller and of them don’t even play SF they play SG. PF their were like 6’3’’ PF and most were 6’7’’ and most PF are 6’8’’ and taller. C, they were like 6’6’’ and their only like 5-8 C that are 6’6’’ and the average height for a C would be like 6’9’’. Eighth things is in the transfer portal, I can barely get any transfers but some years I can get some. Every year I have to get a lot of transfers because more than half my team enter the transfer portal or they ask for way too much money to be able to keep them or it will affect the rest of the construction of the roster. Or my best players would enter the transfer portal. Then when I try to get transfer to come in to my School some other team comes out of nowhere and steal them, or a team behind me that is a mid-major that is worst than me somehow get them, with less points than me or they take them when their like 45%+ behind me. I barely get any transfer, and when I have more than 15 players on the roster at the end of the portal it doesn’t allow me to cut a player but it does it for me without telling me who they cut, or if I don’t have enough players they would have walk-on come on and I don’t even know who they brought in and I have to look through every player, instead their should be something added to allow to try to bring back college players that went to the pros and tried to see if they would want to come back to college and play if they have eligibility or if they could get an injunction like in real like but overall this games is good, if they changes those things the games would be goof and if they consider the stuff below that would make the games even better
Ideas for the creators: when I go to coaches moves there are coaches that were for overseas or from the professional or college coaches going to the league, but we can’t maybe if you allow us to do the same thing that would be nice. Second when we play live, we can’t call timeouts or change game plan at halftime, and we can’t runs plays for are team, it like we are just watch and hope we win and we are the coaches and we can’t runs plays call timeouts, or change game plan. Third if you added being a assistant coach, and make your way up to head coach or get a offer to be a head coach, fourth, if you added more ability, and features, fifth if you could allow us to choose if it home, away or Neutral site non conference games, six if you added training or allow us to change their position or train them to be a different position.

Great but…
Listen as a sports fan in general I understand that anything can happen on any given night but I should be able to simulate and beat the cakewalk teams. If anything it feels like I win games I shouldn’t while losing games I shouldn’t way more than anything. I think the rate of upsets is ridiculously too high but other than that I’m having a blast I haven’t had a reason to complain

Pay
Well, I’m not trying to pay to edit players or teams, which makes the game boring make it free, bro
Buggy, but lots of potential
Would love to see this eventually be fully fleshed out without bugs. The bones are good! But not being able to re-sign with my current team forcing me onto the open market, players duplicating on my team (I had 4 of the same center once across different classes), and tournaments resulting in all teams with byes at times causing me to force close and restart really ruin the vibe in meaningful ways at times. That said, the idea for the game is very solid. I'd love to see some sort of coach progression system implemented at some point to make it feel like you're growing over time and not completely at the mercy of the simulations determining your national perception. Overall, a solid experience.

Great game with one major bug
I love this game and the realism that it provides, especially with the new college landscape. However, I have not been able to accept any long term extensions that the AD offers. It frustrates me and ruins the game since I cannot coach one team for very long
Review
Its a good game i love the nil and the whole recruiting process but the game doesnt let me resign for some reason
Doesn’t let me accept extentions
Great game and I love it, but everytime ive had a successful season and im getting an extension, it doesnt let me click accept extension, I can only click decline.
Fun game! A little buggy
Having fun playing this game, however I am finding myself having to submit offers four times minimum (at best) to get an offer to a recruit. The load times also time out quite a bit. But when it’s clicking man is it fun.

Thank you for the review. Can you please email me and go in detail about the bugs you’re having so I can investigate. Coachdynastysim@outlook.com
Good game…but
Great game. Love the NIL and recruiting system (probably the most fun part of the game), but the simulation in the ncaa tournament seems a bit slow and sometimes the game will cancel out a victory for me and give it to the other team. I’m not sure if this is a game problem or the fact that my phone overheats but this is what I experienced but the idea of the game is perfect.

Great Game!
Game is well thought out and is very entertaining and fun to play!
Great game Bad execution
The game is dope , NIL is super cool, transfer portal too, makes the game fun but everything takes so long to load relative to what it should be. For example in other sim games like campus dynasty it doesn’t take nearly as long to go from game to game , and stages in the tournament feel like I could watch a YouTube video and come back. It only feels this way too because you’re obviously going to play for multiple years at a time 5-10+ and it gets annoying when it’s happening constantly. Other than that fire game

Hey! Thank you for the review. Glad you like the game excluding the performance issues. I have an update I'm pushing that focuses entirely on performance/optimization that focuses on your issues. I appreciate you for playing!
Good but incredibly flawed
I love college basketball games. I still play college hoops 2k8 to this day. And I spent the 10 dollars on this game. This game does a lot of good. The NIL managing is fun and recruiting is engaging. But I have encountered a pretty serious problem. If you average out the overall’s of the rotation of my team, the average overall of the players comes out to be 79. If you average in every single player on the roster, it comes in to be 75. The lowest overall on the team is 71, the highest is an 84. Yet when I check the overall for my team, it’s only 70, with a 67 defensive rating. I don’t know what this game wants from me here. I’m fielding literally the best roster possible for my conference and I’m still not reaching the 1 or 2 seed and losing lots of games I absolutely shouldn’t. And it has to be because the game is judging the team based on that overall. I’ve tried changing coaching adjustments, I’ve hired two 87+ overall coaches. It feels impossible to progress. On top of that, no matter how good I do I can’t get more job offers. I brought a team in the Appalachian conference to the fricken elite 8, sweet 16, and multiple tournament appearances. The highest job offer I saw was 1 million salary and 1.2 million NIL, which is lower than the school I’m currently at. I haven’t seen a single power 4 offer and I’ve been consistent in the tournament with a mid major. That feels extremely unrealistic in a game where everything feels pretty real. Mark pope had literally never had a tournament win and they hired him at Kentucky just for bringing byu to the tournament. I’ve been to multiple sweet 16’s and an elite 8.
EDIT: the team overall is still a little broken but it’s able to be pushed past. To prove how much I’ve played this game I am the Weston muse who is sitting at number 1 on the leaderboard. The biggest thing that needs to be fixed right now is the new jobs coming in. As you can see, I led auburn to 8 national championships. Every year I would check the job offers, I was looking to get a blue blood offer. Never once did I get one of those offers. Multiple times Kentucky, Kansas, and Duke all opened up and I never got an offer. That’s absurd. If you’re able to reach a final four, no matter what team you’re on, you should be able to go where ever you want. ANY program in the country would hire ANY coach no matter what if they were able to reach a final four. That’s just how basketball works. That needs to be the number 1 priority for this game. Maybe make it so if you reach an elite 8 all of the 75 - 85 prestige job openings will be offered to you, then if you reach a final four 85 - 99. Also conference titles. I won like 12+ conference titles at a mid major, if you do that almost every program would want you in real life. Other than that, I’m changing my rating to 4 stars. Once I figured out the winning formula and how to recruit efficiently it all started making more sense.
