Crazy Idea

Love the game truly do, but I was thinking about ways to maybe add something new to bring more players to the game and keep the game feeling fresh, I was thinking that maybe you guys should try and see if there would be any way to implement a RTG kind of mode maybe add controls for only wide receiver or only running back or even add defensive positions and things like that all in all this is still my favorite college football game out there

Why

WHY IS KANSAS STATE BLUE!?

Great game

Game is amazing and really fun to play but it would be nice to have actual NCAA teams with logos like the NFL retro bowl.

Two important tweaks

This game is amazing! Everything is great! But I have two things I think this game would even better with.
1. I think it would be great if we could sim multiple weeks at a time
2. Also I feel like it would be more like college football if we add a transfer portal

YOU SHOULD DOWNLOAD THIS IF YOU LIKE retro football

It has NO ads they have the actually teams in irl some but of you just wanna play football downland this

ADD D2 AND D3

i will not sleep until d2/3 are added to the game

Please don’t play this game

It’s not too good. It doesn’t have too many good. Looking players in game and the concept is just kind of booty.

Tracking Drafted Players Stats

I love this game, play it all the time. I get attached to my players and love to see which teams they get drafted to, I would love to see an addition to the game where it would simulate their stats in the NFL so I could see how they perform by their stats in the league just in the Yearbook/Hall of Fame

MAGA

Punching down towards LGBT folks in an 8-bit football app is embarrassing

Players getting into trouble every time they have a legacy game.

I don’t know if this was intentional or a glitch but every time a player on my team has a great game or the best game of their lives IMMEDIATELY the following week they get into trouble. Idk if yall don’t care bout this but I find that very very very very very very very very annoying.

yall gotta listen up

make more animations
td cellys, corner pylons falling, etc
transfer portal
more faces

Great game! But….

Dear Retro Bowl College,

This is an amazing but simple game, I love to play it in my free time and it dosent take up too much storage on my phone. The only thing u would request if I may is some sort of career mode where you can play either qb, wr, rb, or te. I think that would be very fun to be able to transfer, collect NIL, etc 🙏🏽

Bro

I loved this game but I can’t play it nowwwww I used to be obsessed and happy when school bell rang to go home to play

Charged Incorrectly.

I honestly love this game. But I deleted it for a brief period. I bought the starter pack for 1.99 a long time ago. I wanted to buy it again. When I clicked it. It said “you already purchased it, would you like it again for free?” After clicking okay I got a notification from Apple and my bank that I got charged for 19.99. Are you kidding me!? If I was charged 1.99 again I would barely have a reaction. I wouldn’t be writing this review. I cannot dispute this to Apple because this is not a legit charge. I’m doing my first dispute through my bank and my first review on a game. I’m not happy and find this difficult to enjoy because of your programming error. Thanks.

Love the game just a few suggestions

I been playing retro bowl college for quite a while now to the point where I have real college teams in there actually team colors, but one thing that could be added in the near future is where we can have more uniform selection and maybe being able to make each team have there own chants and kinda showing previews that your playing against your rivals but also custom schedules where if you didn’t like the schedule you have for example I have Georgia Bulldogs who has a 5 start offense and defense but the updated schedules still have me playing weaker teams, another thing that would be nice to have maybe adding a little bit more players on the roster than just 12 and being able to have any color football field simulating like real colleges and one last thing having customizable logos for each teams and be able to have the full teams actually name and nickname like Alabama Crimson tide then for short you could either do Bama or Ala. I’m sorry for the long suggests but I really do love the game and I would love to see some of these features in the near future. Keep making a really fun and enjoyable game

Used to be better

Please bring back walk on like there were in this game 4-5 years ago. That was part of the fun… finding a “diamond in the rough” to fill out your team!

update to potential

this game is actual fun but i’ve been playing for years now and would like to see the game grow and become less boring again with updates. some suggestions: spin move, trucking, more reactive crowd, stadium pulse on away games, 5 star defense actually playing defense, career mode. PLEASE READ THIS NEW STAR.

Love it but could use some new stuff

I love the game but I think if there was something like the transfer portal it would be more like real college football and if it gave us more creativity for stadiums and things it would be great

Fun game but frustrating

Gameplay and team management is a lot of fun. The problem is you can play a random G5 school as a major brand and despite investing heavily in defense, they can’t get a stop. I commonly loose despite getting a touchdown and 2 on every possession because my defense is like that of a little league. I would rather offense be harder but defense actually works.

Things I wish the game had

I LOVE this game so much, I’ve been playing the college version ever since it came out. I know that it’s retro but I wish that I was able to click on other teams to see their players. Like if I was on OU but then transferred to Ohio st. I could look at the new coaches and players of Ou. Just to make it feel a little more realistic. Thank you for making the game as good as it is and I can’t wait for any future updates.
