Good

Lazy Coding

The play calling in this game is absolutely abysmal. I had a game where I put in a Ilb2 blitz, and it wasn’t utilized once against a team that doesn’t even pass! Furthermore, I used this play against a team that has a mix of passing and running. That play was the only defensive play called the entire game! How is it possible that the game could simulate only calling 1 play on defense for an entire game?! This is lazy coding and game development! Every defensive play should be utilized at least once in a game. Why else would I choose them?

Good but should be more interactive in game

During the in game simulation we should be able to pick the play before the play starts. That would make the game more interactive and fun, not just sitting there and watching the team pick the same play over and over.

The Program (Basketball Hopeful)

Absolutely love this game but i’m dying to play a basketball version🙏

Great Game, it’s actually pretty hard to get good.

This is an awesome game to play when you’re hooked on football and bored. I would say they could add more depth to recruits and they could have development traits. But overall I rate it 9/10, it’s pretty good.
