Great Sim!!

I played this on the computer, website for it was fantastic too, didn’t expect it to be as good and even more impressive than I thought it would be. Very fun, very easy to work, and pretty immersive along the lines of contracts and certain players being hard to negotiate with. I love it.

Amazing

After trying and continuing to play almost every management game, this is easily in my top 5. It’s enough of a challenge to keep you entertained and completely engaged. Love it

GREATEST GAME EVER

MY BUDDY EVAN TOLD ME ABOUT THIS, AND IT IS THE REAL DEAL. I FEEL LIKE A REAL GM. WEEEEEOOOOOOWEEEEOOO

Awesome app but keeps crashing

I’m seriously addicted to this app and have played through almost 20 seasons in one franchise but the last couple days, I would play through my current season and the app crashes and goes back to the home screen and has completely reset my current season. I played through the entire season once only to get to the draft and have the game reset all the way back to week 1 of the season I just played. I’ve now tried to finish this season 4 times but have been met with the same crash each time. I’m trying to not get frustrated because this app is exactly what I was looking for but I would seriously appreciate a patch to this glitch!

Half-baked attempt at filling a hole in the market

Unfortunately, this looks like an AI-slop, vibe-coded mess.
There are only starters for a player pool so there’s no depth to trade from or for (which I assume is because NFL stats were run though an AI for “ratings” and it can’t guess at ratings for players without stats). Weekly goals are random with no control over reaching them which leads to a cycle of winning and earning scouting points or losing and struggling to keep up. There also isn’t any way in-game to see what is happening or what happened. There aren’t even 4 downs, you’ll regularly see one play and then a random punt. There are clear logic issues where Makai Lemonn (sic) was a free agent despite just being drafted. Free agents are effectively a single blind bid, so if you don’t win them, there aren’t any backup players to replace holes in a roster because of the lack of player pool. Just go buy Retro Bowl

Response from developer

Sorry to hear you didn't enjoy! The rosters are actually the most challenging part of this... I want each player rating to feel close to real as possible (and it is manual, not AI).. so it takes time to add full rosters. I am working on the backups right now - full rosters in a recent update. Great calls on weekly goals. Will make these more customized to your team's makeup in a future update. The in-game sim is just meant to show key notes of the actual games, but it would be good to turn on a mode that shows all four downs and every single drive in detail. The contracts i have auto generated and will also be fixing in an upcoming update. I appreciate your thoughts and will keep working to make this a game you enjoy!
