Pro

Love the gam but can we get a pro version of the game and if so can we get the players from this game in that game

Recruiting

Love the game, however recruiting percentages are not accurate was on tier 2 had 6 players in 80% or higher and all of them declined scholarships. It would be nice if the money spent into this game would lead to enjoyable play experience

They got rid of adds going all the time and it’s been way better

Update

Awesome game so far. More options on team design (more logos and options)and possibly uniform designs would be a nice touch maybe even campus designs and upgrades. I think that for coaching staff points the system should be changed for performance on season, maybe a bonus for conference title and bowl game or something. I think that for the actual games there should be like critical situation calls where you can pick a play on 3rd and short ETC Also would like to see position changes like offensive tackles can be switched to center or guard of off season or DT to DE ETC. great game so far.

Edit they have been updating game with great new implements, what would in my option bring this a tier higher is a better recruiting system similar to college football.
