### 4/5 — Keeps Crashing

*2026-02-28, version 5.1.11*

Every time I try to advance now, it crashes the app and I’m stuck at the same point….

### 3/5 — Recruiting

*2026-02-01, version 5.1.11*

Idk why maybe it’s just me but i can’t any recruits to commit not even 2 stars

### 5/5 — One of my favorite mobile games OAT

*2026-01-15, version 5.1.11*

Really love this game. Have completed hundreds of seasons it. Cannot recommend it enough. It’s simple but engaging and it’s just so much fun to rebuild a football program or rise the ranks as a coach. With that all being said, I’d love to see the semis be expanded to a 12 year playoff to keep it modern. I also get hit with random sanctions when not doing anything wrong. Not even keep early declarees or taking transfers. Just straight recruiting (without using the “bagman”) and I get a sanction. Regardless, I adore this game.

### 4/5 — Certain play styles

*2026-01-05, version 5.1.11*

The spread is to overpowered when using and makes the TE’s basically unnecessary to recruit and any other play style is usually really bad even with maxed out coach points

### 4/5 — Great game

*2025-12-23, version 5.1.11*

Awesome game. Wish there would be more updates to make it more like current college football. Add money getting paid for the coaches

### 4/5 — Please let every single team have a city stand in

*2025-12-22, version 5.1.11*

This is a great game and my only problem with it is that I can’t play with my favorite team. I am a Purdue fan, and the only thing that you could add to this game to make it perfect would be to add them. And this goes for other teams too. Mississippi State fans should also be able to play with their favorite team. These are just two examples though, there are many more just like this. Every fan should be able to play with their favorite team, so if you ever decide to update this game, please add every college’s team.

### 5/5 — Pretty good! But one more thing……!

*2025-12-12, version 5.1.11*

Pleaseeee make an update with the College Football Playoff (12 teams), AND that we could add teams in other conferences manually & create rivalries

### 5/5 — History

*2025-12-06, version 5.1.11*

Should add history for the highest ppg by a team or opp rush ypg.

### 5/5 — Pretty good! But one more thing……!

*2025-11-30, version 5.1.11*

Pleaseeee make an update with the College Football Playoff (12 teams), AND that we could edit our team name & color

### 5/5 — Pretty good! But one more thing!

*2025-11-21, version 5.1.11*

Please make an update with the College Football Playoff (12 teams)

### 4/5 — Minor Ideas

*2025-11-20, version 5.1.11*

Love this game at its core, and I’ve noticed little things added and implemented to make it more in depth, such as completion %, drop back rates and such and I love it ! One Minute detail I would love to see added could be solo, assisted tackles, Half sacks and things of that nature. Totally just a picky person at that point but love the rest of the game and its challenges !

### 5/5 — To college football coach

*2025-11-16, version 5.1.11*

A great game! The game could be better if they added more features. When in a game the plays should be labeled :example a man coverage play it should say man, and it goes the same for zone coverages. Same for offensive plays, it should be labeled as runs and passes just to, and long, deep, medium. It should also say the formation the play is gonna be in. Another that i think would make the game better is the positions. There should be a football grid where offense and defense should be on, and you should be able to switch played positions. Example: Receivers should be able to move around like the TE’s to receivers and vise versa. They should even be able to get switched to fullbacks or running backs. Same for the other defensive side. You should also maybe be able to view the plays in real time, that may be to much to ask for, but i feel like that make the game entertaining. It’s already entertaining as it is, I’ve played this game for hours and seasons, but that.. will make me play for i don’t know how long. Great game regardless!

### 5/5 — GOAT of a game

*2025-11-11, version 5.1.11*

Lwk this game is actually fire. It’s free, simple, doesn’t burn through battery, is fun to play, the ui is simple. There are only two things I wish it had. 12 team playoff and an NFL version of the game.

### 5/5 — Great game!

*2025-10-26, version 5.1.11*

Highly addicted! Great game! I love it so much and it is so much fun!

### 5/5 — Update please

*2025-10-25, version 5.1.11*

Love this game. You made it perfect to where you don’t have to spend money to have fun and win. Can y’all please update the playoff format? That would be nice! Great game!!

### 5/5 — Update game to current time

*2025-10-08, version 5.1.11*

Can you update the game can put a bracket in the game

### 5/5 — Any new updates coming?

*2025-10-07, version 5.1.11*

I love this game, just wondering if any new updates are coming as it has been 3 years since the last update.

### 4/5 — Good, just one request

*2025-10-02, version 5.1.11*

I was wondering if you could update the game to fit the current college football playoff format. Other than that though the game is great

### 3/5 — It’s fine

*2025-09-28, version 5.1.11*

Not having punters is kind of a joke tbh, like your kicker has to punt and it doesn’t matter if he’s got a high rating with a good leg because he’ll only punt it 30 yards

## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated)

### 1/5 — Do. Not. Download. EVER

*2026-03-19, version 5.1.11*

As said in the title. Dont download this terrible game that buys reviews for its terribly made game.

### 1/5 — I love this game

*2025-09-22, version 5.1.11*

The truth is, I love this game. I think it’s one of the best college sim games that I’ve found. Unfortunately, the latest update is from 3 years ago, so the game now feels dated and abandoned. 

I typically play in 25 year increments, but my most recent save file only has 6 years. I went through it and discovered that I stopped playing after a 28-14 win in the CGC was recorded as a loss, costing me a chance at the playoffs. I emailed the developer about this glitch and never heard back. 

With NIL and a 12 team playoff now in existence, kthis game is in need of an overhaul.

I will happily change my rating to 5 stars if this game ever sees an update

### 1/5 — ????

*2025-08-04, version 5.1.11*

What is this game

### 1/5 — trash

*2025-03-24, version 5.1.11*

game is very trash, very outdated we in 2025 not in 2010 do NOT PLAY

### 1/5 — Unplayable

*2025-03-10, version 5.1.11*

Just keeps crashing. I used to just deal with it, but it’s gotten to the point where I give up. The developers gave up on their game, and now I do too. RIP to a really fun game. I enjoyed this game a lot, played 282 seasons. Sad to delete it now.

### 1/5 — Team names not showing up.

*2025-02-11, version 5.1.11*

On the phone it’s great, on the computer the team names don’t show up, fix it today. Class is so boring.

### 1/5 — Are they done with this game?

*2024-10-26, version 5.1.11*

They haven’t updated in 2 years and I like this game a lot just wish it would be updated to the current state of college football

### 1/5 — This game is AWFUL

*2024-10-13, version 5.1.11*

I sim a game where I’m a 48 point favorite and I lost 68-0 unrealistic and stupid don’t download

### 1/5 — This game is dumb

*2024-09-26, version 5.1.11*

I have a 37.4 % chance to win the game but I aim like 40 times and I just lose I just want to know if it is possible. My team is totally worse though but if I can win I want to know if I can
But then on my dynasty they lose after being 44.5 Favorites like this game is stupid at results!!!

### 2/5 — Boring

*2024-11-03, version 5.1.11*

Compared to other games this is like playing with leggos vs. XBox.  Very clunky.

## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated)

### 5/5 — Great game

*2026-05-03, version 5.1.11*

Great game but would make it better would be if they added nil in recruiting

### 5/5 — Good game

*2026-04-26, version 5.1.11*

The game is good and has pretty good depth just wish there was more available options like play calls and position changing

### 5/5 — Update this game

*2026-04-16, version 5.1.11*

I love this game a lot but I think needs to put in real college football names and need to become 12 team playoffs and real name bowl games

### 5/5 — Great iOS game but does not compare to the PC version

*2026-04-01, version 5.1.11*

This is a fun way to kill time on your phone but holy cow the PC version is a completely different game. The depth of the PC game is what EA SHOULD be doing with their games. If there was actually gameplay for this on PC, I’d ditch my Xbox for a gaming PC and never buy an EA game again.

### 5/5 — Fun Game Overall

*2026-03-21, version 5.1.11*

This game is really fun! If you want to add a twist you can rename the teams and conferences to what they are in real life. This game has been really fun ever since I download it!

### 5/5 — Love it

*2026-03-14, version 5.1.11*

Great stuff no complaints. Hopefully developer can do a mlb baseball, college and pro basketball, and pro football game too since yall so great at it! Come on what else you have to do lol? 

No seriously tho I love this game. Keep up the good work.

### 5/5 — 10/10 game

### 5/5 — Great game

*2026-02-11, version 5.1.11*

I really love the game it’s a good god game if your into to college football and like rebuilding school or staying a powerhouse.

### 5/5 — Played this game for years

*2026-02-03, version 5.1.11*

If the owner of this app is still around I would love the new play off rules added with the option of playing with the old rules during the setup of starting a new season
