My review

Game is one of the best games on my phone but some of the ratings for CBB don’t make since to me so please try to fix

New update messed up layout

The new update is very good and a lot of the new UI looks very clean. However now the bottom menu is locked in a spot so when building a player you can’t see the bottom two stats to pick from without fidgeting the screen. Furthermore it atomically scrolls down every time you reset your build a player to do a new run so it’s way slower this way

Common bugs but definitely holding it back now

Response from developer

1v1 is currently down on the app, but you can play on the site goat-lab.app

So fun but…

MMA ratings are in SHAMBLES. Paddy with 68 chin?? Derrick Lewis with low power. If you need help pls reach out we can really put together some better ratings. ALSO many careers are too short in the NFL. Can we pls not retire after a 1,500yd season as a RB. Please update career longevity to match production.
I would definitely consider buying pro if it includes some features like career longevity or the ability choose to simulate a few more seasons, nothing that messes with ratings though.

Trash

Just trash.

Response from developer

Do you care to explain any further? Would love to hear some criticism and improve the game.

MMA ratings and stats need serious work

The game is fun but the mma ratings and stats are terrible to say the least a lot of fighters need upgrades on their stats and that’s unfortunate because it’s the one I was looking most forward to playing

Response from developer

Hey Carlos, Thanks for the feedback. I'll do a deep look through at the MMA ratings tonight. The next update will be much better on this front! In the meantime, if you play on the website (goat-lab.app) the MMA ratings will be better by tomorrow at some point there.
