Game

Great game one thing though is could you have it to where say if one of your players won an award they got a big boost in overall or potential

Good boy

Not so much a managing type game

But more of a choose one of the four options they give you. And if you don’t like those options, just restart the game lol. Honestly, I’m not sure why this game has such positive reviews. It’s a joke. What’s the point of having coordinators with a playbook of plays but the “manager” can only choose one at a time? After game reviews are set on a specific play with specific players. Again, no choice, just choose. Joke

Great game

This game definitely kills boredom and is worth the time. Don’t have to spend money to get ahead.

The Program college football

I would say you guys need a lot of updates a lot of make things up to 2027. There’s only one red shirt you can’t control your depth chart who you want just starters to be very disappointing. I play hopefully there’s some things I do enjoy but I play. Hopefully you will add these improvements and updates. Make it more interactive or we could play with live people. Stuff like that, but I do give this good stars, but I know I could have better for the stars an I explained why here
