### 4/5 — The best

*2026-08-07, version 1.1.1*

Because you did’t have to pay for the team edit but you can’t get drafted to big 10 teams right away

### 5/5 — Love this Game

*2026-08-07, version 1.1.1*

Just started playing retro bowl last month! I love it so far!!

### 5/5 — Another Good One

*2026-08-07, version 1.1.1*

Plays much like their other games, and is easy, fun just like all their games!!

### 5/5 — Retro bowel college +

*2026-08-06, version 1.1.1*

This a fun awesome game it be more awesome if you can create football player

### 5/5 — RBC+ Arcade Edition

*2026-08-06, version 1.1.1*

It’s the same great game available on the App Store but without the ability to purchase coaching credits to expedite your rise to College Football Dominance.

I like it, it’s fun to start with a scrub team, save up coaching credits and get better coaching jobs. For an 8-bit-esque football game it makes it feel more realistic from a dynasty building perspective. 

Your coach cred is basically your reputation and “Scholarship money” serves as an effective pay cap that rises as your reputation rises. Bizarrely accurate in the NIL world.

Great gameplay and enough systems level realism to keep you engaged season after season!

### 5/5 — Rb college

### 1/5 — Dumb game would not play

*2026-08-21, version 1.1.1*

They always scored a point when they didn’t make a touchdown

### 1/5 — Worst touch controls you’ve ever seen

*2026-08-14, version 1.1.1*

Seriously gonna crash out over the amount of times this game misinterprets a drag as a tap.

### 1/5 — They killed my boy

*2026-08-13, version 1.1.1*

Previous versions of retro bowl have been a wonderful experience. They have elegantly blended the classic eight bit football with some interesting mechanics over the years, but this upgrade ruined the game. The scholarship cap is overly punitive. It punishes you for having too many players get drafted. Your hard earned scholarship money is lost in an ether. Explaining that your money gets shared with other schools. There’s no incentive to win or have highly accomplished players. I’m extremely disappointed and have deleted the game until they can fix the blatant problems and make it realistic to win and enjoyable to play.

### 1/5 — Trash

*2026-08-12, version 1.1.1*

Terrible

### 1/5 — Unable to import RB College data

*2026-08-09, version 1.1.1*

Sad I have to recreate all records, schools names, school colors and conference renaming etc. no point using this version.

### 2/5 — Salary is broken

*2026-08-20, version 1.1.1*

I get 140k from players getting drafted only get 60k of it to spend on players and then spend 55k to recruit one player, how tf does that make any sense??

### 2/5 — Disappointed

*2026-08-07, version 1.1.1*

This game was really disappointing I thought it would be a little different than the original but it’s really the same thing except for the kick returns

### 2/5 — Bugs ruin the experience

*2026-08-06, version 1.1.1*

Nothing like playing a game, setting a couple records, and then having it all wiped out because it crashed during the postgame. 

They’re also not done with the palate swaps and template changes that would make this a separate game from the pro version. At one point it references you being the coach of a pro team.

### 4/5 — Great game

*2026-08-15, version 1.1.1*

I like the Retro Bowl series but honestly? I like the other games better. That saying, I’m not a fan of college football so it may be different for someone rooting for a specific team. You still get to play football, and I like the yearbook feature.

### 4/5 — Top 20

I wish we could do multiplayer

### 5/5 — Cloud archiving makes the game experience more perfect.

*2026-08-16, version 1.1.1*

Simplicity is not simple, which makes me feel very strong. I hope I can support Chinese in the future. Looking forward to nflrb27

### 5/5 — Better than original.

*2026-08-15, version 1.1.1*

Holy cow, when I thought this game couldn’t be more fun college comes around. This is such a chill and fun experience. I want to play as every team and make every team good

### 5/5 — Great

*2026-08-10, version 1.1.1*

### 5/5 — Awesome!

*2026-08-09, version 1.1.1*

This game is so fun. I’ve never been so happy this came to the arcade with no ads. This is one of the best games I’ve ever played and no in in app purchases. I highly advise getting this game and I’m so addicted to it that every single time I get to play my tablet. I go on it.

Good game and costs nothing. Can’t buy credits to make it easier, but I kinda like that!

### 5/5 — Awesome!

*2026-08-08, version 1.1.1*

Game is so fun, one time I was on 1 second and I dove but I missed the end zone (in the SBC conference final), but that just made my confidence go up for next season!
