Good game

Garbage

Game is trash. Too many recruits lost with over a 90% chance to commit.

Great Game!

Really fun and immersive, although not the most realistic CFB mobile game out there. If you’re looking for the most realistic option, CFC or Gridiron Coaching are probably your top options. However, this one to me has been the most fun. Recruiting is challenging enough to require some real strategy. Top tier graphics and headshots. A few tweaks I would suggest:
1. Expanding the transfer portal. Right now, each offseason you have the option to enter one player into the portal and get one out. Hopefully they expand so that you can get as many out as you put in.
2. Raising the recruiting class cap of 12 players per class.
3. Adding In-game playcalling. There should be an option between a simulation and a more controlled in-game play calling system.
4. Adding the ability to edit a player’s name/jersey number/headshot after they have joined the roster.

Random Garbage

This game is such a random garbage simulation. I’ll win every game against the hardest teams and then lose to the worst team on the game. if ratings don’t matter in this game what is the point. and the amount of times i’ve had dudes over 90% scouted and they don’t sign. really? it’s so frustrating to put hours into something that genuinely just feels like a random garbage simulation that predicts if you’re gonna win before the game starts.

Nice

I enjoy the game. Played about 30 seasons and I would love to see who and how many players I have had drafted. I just had my first projected top 10 pick and wonder how many Ive had.
