First off, the stats are completely inaccurate. I had a game where my quarterback had 4 touchdown passes but my team only had 22 points. Also you won’t see quarterbacks throwing 60+ passes on a regular basis. ### 2/5 — CFB *2024-06-06, version 1.3.1* The game is great but the saving is absolutely horrible one of the worst savings systems I’ve ever played ### 2/5 — Terrible *2024-05-04, version 1.3.1* You always lose to teams that you should destroy every year no matter what I had five top 4 overall teams, and didn’t win over 10 games ever. And a number 1 ranked team at the beginning of the year shouldn’t go 4-8. ### 2/5 — Bruh *2024-01-02, version 1.3.1* You can’t win any games or get any recruits it’s stupid like I can’t build a team when you only let us get 1 stars ### 3/5 — Meh *2023-12-18, version 1.3.1* Game gets pretty boring when you go 0-12 for 5 straight season and you cant really do much with your team, you cant train them, coach them, all you can really do is recruit them. Recruiting is really hard aswell because if there is a 5 star or something good and it has alot of scholarship offers from other schools it will be hard for you to offer a scholarship because you will be at the very bottom of their list, you can really only get 3 star recruits with any hassle. Game overall gets very repetitive and boring, only get this if your ready to handle alot of losses aswell as having to watch an ad every couple games. ### 4/5 — Best CFB mobile game *2023-08-21, version 1.3.1* Great game but game sim is too inconsistent ### 4/5 — Love it and Hate it *2023-07-22* For starters its close to impossible to have consistent play in this. If its not weekly injuries its dumb luck from a terrible opponent. Secondly why cant i see players dev trait when im scouting? Id avoid some of the low star players when recruiting if i knew they wouldn't progress or get better. Third why cant i improve my coach at all? Maybe have a small coach tree in the future so a player can feel they have more control outside of setting basic strategy settings and recruitment of players. Like I should be able to control how good my coach is at developing players as well as see wether players will even develop. Lastly this game snipes you out of players all the time. Three times now i have had over a 1,000 point lead on the second place team and out of nowhere 5 star prospect signs with team down significantly in scouting points or whatever you want to call them. Its annoying and defeats the entire purpose of having that ranking system in the game. If im #1 and have that large of a lead with an 80 percent lock i should not loose out on that player. Even though this was filled with things i dont like i do want to give the Devs credit for creating a truly free to play, fun, football simulation game. Only one out there so take my complaints with a grain of salt because the game is still awesome. ### 4/5 — Amazing Game *2023-04-01* Love playing this game when I get the time. But there is definitely room for improvement I would automatically have auto save on when people start the game. Add some sort of Hall of Fame for players for my team not just a MVP. It would also be nice if I can go back and see all the MVPs and their stats as well. One of the most important provement that this game needs is to be able to have multiple saves. I’ve tried opening one but every time I add a new one it deletes the first one I had. it becomes really annoying after customizing all 130+ teams. It would also be nice if I could copy and save into a different one and have two the same ones. (if that makes sense.) otherwise, a really fun game. Definitely suggest for people just trying to have a football coach simulator. ### 3/5 — Like the game but… *2023-03-19, version 1.2.5* Like the game but should add a auto recruiting system to make it easier ### 5/5 — Yuh *2023-03-09, version 1.2.5* Best cfb football game I’ve ever played on a phone ### 4/5 — College sports games *2023-02-26, version 1.2.5* As a major college sports fan I really enjoy this game. The basketball version that this developer has made is pretty good as well. Both could do with a few updates, but they are simple and easy to use. Great for a break during the work day. Since this developer has already made two college sports games, I really wish they would expand their offerings and do other college sports/recruiting games as well. There is nothing out there for the college hockey, lacrosse, or wrestling fan. Would it be so difficult to make similar versions of this game for those sports? ### 5/5 — Excellent *2023-02-18, version 1.2.5* Love this game. A college baseball version would be sick ### 4/5 — Good but needs a little help *2023-02-07, version 1.2.5* The game is awesome I am a huge college football fan. But it needs some help. The auto save is stupid. It should automatically save. And losing to a 0-0 team when your undefeated is abousutley ridiculous. That’s It. ### 5/5 — Great Game *2023-02-01, version 1.2.5* Can a team in Seattle be added. I love the game and I play it all the time. I’ve had multiple careers and love the ability to change the team to my liking but I “relocated” my school to Seattle but only other school is in Pullman/WSU. I wanted to keep the rivalry between the two schools but the only school I could use was a school in Oregon which made it weird because I was a school in Washington but my pipeline was Oregon. Overall the game is amazing! ### 4/5 — Good only one thing I would change *2023-01-25, version 1.2.5* The only thing I would change is let us play the game. ### 5/5 — Great game, just a couple flaws *2023-01-16, version 1.2.5* I love playing this game to pass time until NCAA24 comes out, it’s fun and all but the polls change a little too drastically, the coaching dynasties are fun. ### 3/5 — Recruiting *2023-01-09* It is such a hassle to recruit, the recruiting system is very messed up. My recommendation is first of all, make it take less time. Instead of calling every player individually, make it so you can offer a scholarship by tapping a button on the player. Then for recruiting, you call them once without the grading point system, you call a player to get 150 reputation. Then after you sim week, you can press a button that says “ let recruiting specialist call every week” Next there should be a menu when you first start where you can choose your strategy. i wish there was a triple option scheme, which requires less recruiting because it is a unique offensive style. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — Dude *2024-04-18, version 1.3.1* Badddddddddd!!!! Game I wish it never was made ### 1/5 — Recruiting is trash and can’t even win a game *2023-07-18, version 1.3.1* Recruiting is trash can’t even land a single 4 or 5* recruit plz fix had to delete it ### 1/5 — Good game, improve recruiting *2022-06-16* As others have said, recruiting is my biggest headache with this game. I will regularly lose recruits to their second or third option when I am thousands of points ahead of the other school. This is fine to happen occasionally, but it seems to happen much too often and always to a recruit at the top of my board, not to a three star I’m recruiting just to fill a gap. However, the worst part of this feature is that I never win a recruit as their second or third option. You never benefit from the slim chance, only get hurt by it. The other thing I’d like to see is more options when selecting a new school. If my coach prestige is A, I should get to pick from almost any school. Instead, if I want to move to a smaller school it seems I would have to lose for awhile to get those kind of job offers. I have enjoyed the game but 20 seasons in these are the two biggest things that cause me to question if I’ll continue playing. Editing this to one star because the recruiting system is so broken. Absolutely ridiculous to lose five recruits in a week when I am still their top choice AFTER they commit. Deleted the game because it takes the fun away to spend time recruiting players then regularly lose them when you are their top choice. ### 1/5 — Great game but doesn’t save *2022-04-05, version 1.2.5* i love this game but it doesn’t save at all ### 1/5 — Pls add auto save *2021-11-20, version 1.2.5* Honestly this game looks okay until you play it. I don’t mind the face that it’s mainly a scouting game. I do however mind that the game freezes every half an hour meaning you have to restart your game. And since there’s no auto save if you haven’t saved it you lose all your progress which gets frustrating after the 5th time in one day. Fix your game and add an autosave feature u donkeys ### 1/5 — Saving *2021-11-10, version 1.2.5* Stupid that this game doesn’t automatically save? ### 1/5 — The potential *2020-07-15* Wow. What an awesome game this could be, this is like the wobbly, quickly made frame of a 5 bedroom 4 bath house. The concept is fantastic, all of the customizable options makes it so I have all the real teams in, and overall there’s just never been a good sim game like this on mobile. That being said, the logic in this game was made in an alternate universe. If you’re recruiting someone, you could be their Top 1 place to go and 1,000+ points ahead of everyone else. But the second person always has a 16% chance to get that recruit. Annoying but that’s manageable, or it would be but it happens way more than 16% and also WILL NEVER HAPPEN FOR YOU. If you’re not 1 on their list don’t even waste your time. Oh my god the sims. I’ve started out Preseason #1 in the polls, 99 overalls everywhere on my roster, and I had my 99 QB win MVP with 136 Td’s and 13 Int’s and WE WENT 6-6 BECAUSE THERE’S ABSOLUTELY NO LOGIC AT ALL. It’s entirely chance which is not fine but at least say that. Don’t make think that recruiting and strategizing will help me if the morons who made this game have an unranked team shut out the #1 offense in the country. Please do some soul searching and come back to this with a way better game. ALSO MAKE A “CALL ALL RECRUITS BACK” OPTION, trust me I know it sounds like that actually make sense and you don’t know anything about that but please. ### 1/5 — ** Do Not Play. Broken sim. *2020-06-30, version 1.2.0* **do not play this game I had a save get corrupt. This is a great game and the best sim on IOS, but if I was 50 years in and my save file corrupted, I would be angry. Basically have to start over now. Also. There are so many upsets. Like 2-3 a year so far. They are 5 or less win teams and always beat me. I average 2-4 loses a year to these teams. I do not mind losing to winning teams or the occasional Upset, but 2-3 a year on 1 team is unrealistic. 15 years in. The same, mostly a 4-5 star team and lose 2-3 games a year. Every year. I would skip this game if you want a sim game as you will never win. ### 1/5 — Ok but needs to sort recruitment process *2020-04-28, version 1.2.0* Overall the game is ok. I got fairly addicted for a couple of days but then got too frustrated with the recruitment process. The game is predominantly about recruitment- you spend 95% of your time on that. Shame as the game play options seem potentially quite interesting. The recruitment process just becomes far too painful and frustrating. Takes far too long and is overly complicated, this needs to be simplified and made more user friendly and then would be more enjoyable. After a few different attempts I realised it’s virtually impossible to really recruit anyone at the appropriate level. Shame as some of the other content such as conference games, rankings and bowl matchups were quite realistic. If the recruitment issues could be sorted it could be a very good game. ### 2/5 — Cost conflict *2024-07-27, version 1.3.1* Main screen offers no ads for $2.99, but attempting to make the purchase wants to charge $4.99 ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Idea *2026-06-09, version 1.3.1* 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. ### 5/5 — The creator should make a collage baseball version *2024-01-28, version 1.3.1* CFB is amazing probably the best collage game in the app store right now, but just wondering if y'all are down to make a baseball one i would definitely play it and spend my $$$ on it. ### 5/5 — The game *2023-12-13, version 1.3.1* All you had to do was add the editing and purchasing on here ### 5/5 — fix recruiting PLZ *2023-08-29* as countless others have said the recruiting part of the game is horrible. this is a fun game and i love to play it. But when i have a couple of 5 stars and i’m top one on all of their lists, why do some go to the second team. yes there is a chance of that happening but i just recruited 10 5 stars and got only 6. that’s 60/40%. it’s definitely not 80/16%. if so i’d have a pretty stacked team. but the point is recruiting makes the game unfun and could easily be better by a simple small fix. last thing is the injuries, i shouldn’t have to see 2 players get hurt every single week. maybe every 5 weeks but every week is crazy. in all the game just needs to be fixed and it could be fixed the developers would just read the reviews. i enjoy the game it is a very good simulation game especially for college football. ### 5/5 — Amazing base game *2023-08-10, version 1.3.1* I think that this is a really good base game, with a lot of potential. Very user friendly, Would like a bit more depth though. ### 5/5 — Excited *2023-06-22, version 1.3.0* Super excited for a second version of this to come out! Rooting for this game heavily, can play this for hours on end whenever I want to do something to past time, excited for new features as well! ### 5/5 — Great game *2023-06-11, version 1.2.5* It’s a great game just update it please ### 5/5 — Baseball version?? *2023-06-08, version 1.2.5* I would love a college baseball sim!! Please! ### 5/5 — AMAZEING *2023-04-18, version 1.2.5* This game is vibe i wish u didn’t have to save but its such a cool game ### 5/5 — Make a baseball game *2023-03-22, version 1.2.5* I like your basketball football on BoxOfficeSim but I really want y’all to make a Baseball one please baseball is one of my favorite sports including football and basketball with it, so can you please make a baseball game? --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
