I get the same 6 play calls over and over and it has no awareness for situational football. Every single third down I’m given the same outside run play which never works. It would be nice to choose the plays from the full playbook and not just a limited play selection. It makes it impossible to actually run an offensive scheme and the when I’m trying to just run out the clock before halftime it will call timeouts when I don’t want them to or not take a timeout when I’m in a time crunch before halftime or end of game making it a total guess as to whether or not the clock is gonna stop which impacts play calling. If that gets fixed it would make the experience better and make it feel more like you’re actually coaching **Developer response:** Hi there! Thank you a lot; great feedback - we’ll definitely consider adding something like this in a future update. ### 4/5 — UFC *2026-08-06, version 1.3.0* Good game just got manage everything right ### 4/5 — More Teams *2026-06-18, version 1.3.0* This might be the best college football game on the app store right now, but it is in desperate need of more than ~80 teams, there should be about 160 teams in the game and a better CFP system. If those changes were made, it’s probably 5 stars. ### 3/5 — Could be great *2026-06-14, version 1.3.0* It could be great but it’s super hard to do well ands it’s fun but it’s very hard to have a winning season ### 4/5 — Simulation *2026-02-19, version 1.2.0* The game is awesome but they should have a setting where you can simulate a whole season or a couple of weeks it takes to much time to simulate each week. ### 3/5 — Okay but not great *2026-01-23, version 1.2.0* Good potential. But home teams have way too big of an advantage especially when thy are over matched by a far better team. Unrealistic upsets ### 2/5 — Impossible progression *2026-01-02* The game makes it incredibly difficult to get past the 5th-6th season, I every time I make it to that point, no matter how much I improved the team, I was fired and forced to start over. Gameplay was fine overall even if getting a little stale and repetitive. My last major complaint was how basic features, such as filtering, easily replacing coordinators, or training players was locked behind a paywall. **Developer response:** Hello, thank you for playing and reviewing our game. Would you mind sharing what you did to improve your team? There are many aspects that can influence your team success, but these are the things you should check: players intelligence and personality; Team chemistry; what schemes, lineup and playbook you're having. ### 4/5 — female coaches *2025-11-30, version 1.2.0* please add the option to have a female coach!!! i love this game but it really ruins it for me not to have that option. ### 3/5 — Finally found the flaws *2025-11-20, version 1.2.0* So I thought this game was perfect until it wasn’t. First off when you close out the app you should be able to start where you left off. Loss so many games by closing out by mistake,and some where I was up by a lot. Also the QB accuracy is horrible no matter what the rating is the QB rarely throws to the open receiver. Another thing I got fired from a school and it completely erased my history as a coach as if going to a new school made me a new coach. And that’s where I decided to delete. 6 National Championships, 9 time conference champs, and 6 time coach of the year gone down the drain. ### 3/5 — Active Prevention *2025-10-29, version 1.1.5* The game is superb. Problem is, I can go 10-2 with an overall 82 team (as long as I pick four wins as my goal). Next season same team is now 84. I choose (8 win goal) and win 7 games. No matter what, you cannot pick over four games early on. Even with a +5 equipment bonus…. Do not choose playoffs as you goal !! 89 rating 2nd best overall team in a weak division and I STILL Lose 3 games!! Feels like an Active AI that moderates how fast you can develop. ### 3/5 — Fun but unfair *2025-10-28, version 1.1.5* The game is genuinely good and fun, I enjoy playing it. Until I get to the playoffs or face a team with a better record (most will have a better record because the other teams seemingly scale more than you) because the game will force you to lose. If you’re up in the 3rd quarter your defense won’t be able to stop a wall from moving. Your qb won’t be able to complete a pass. It gets unfair so you lose, making you play the game longer. ### 3/5 — Issues with VIP Pass *2025-10-20, version 1.1.5* So far I’ve enjoyed playing the game.After my first season I decided to buy the vip pass. For some reason everything is still locked even though I purchased the pass. ### 4/5 — Great Game *2025-10-15, version 1.1.5* Has all the perks collet football coach is missing. Could use some updates but great game overall Edit: yea so finally found a flaw in this game. When you leave in the middle of a game it exits out the game and sims it. I hate that lost games because of that. Please fix ### 4/5 — Great Game *2025-10-07, version 1.1.5* Has all the perks collet football coach is missing. Could use some updates but great game overall ### 2/5 — Player Progression *2025-10-07, version 1.1.5* Without being able to prioritize a player, the Path player progression is impossible to influence. Complete roll of the dice. I think an improvement would be, when making your own plays: 1) having the ability to see player names/numbers in positions, and 2) being able to choose the “first read” route. ## Most critical reviews (10 lowest-rated) ### 1/5 — No Working *2026-06-18, version 1.3.0* When I make it to the playoffs and actually win. The game say that I lost and I do not understand this issue. It’s very very frustrating. So technically I have to lose to actually win. ### 1/5 — WHAT A RIP OFF!! *2026-02-21, version 1.2.0* It started off as a great game that I actually enjoyed playing. I spent actual money to build a team, did well, won championships and coach of the year awards. Then I got fired because the upgrades I bought caused me to go over budget every year. There is no way that I found to bring your budget under control after the fact so they let you break it and don’t give you the chance to fix it. All of the money I spent just went down the crapper because none of the upgrades I made went to my new school nor did I get any of the in game money or training points back to spend at my new school. WHAT A JOKE! F this game and its thief creators. ### 1/5 — Paid reviews? *2026-01-14, version 1.2.0* Idk how everyone is giving this good reviews. Maybe they started with the best team in the game. I started with Maine and the QB literally will hold the ball until everyone stops running and then just throw it away. Or the RB fumbles over once a game. I get I started on a bad team but why can’t I even play the game against worse teams? ### 1/5 — The most frustrating game *2025-12-25, version 1.2.0* The game is fun, but it’s terribly frustrating. You can be rated like 15 over another team, have an over 100 qb, over 98 wrs, and playing a terrible defense and your qb will still throw to double coverage and the passes are knocked down every time. You can play every single play, yet your defense will screw you every time and you’ll lose the last game of the season. You cannot win in this game without paying money so it’s bait and switch on being a “free” game. ### 1/5 — Insanely Difficult for no reason *2025-12-18, version 1.2.0* The mechanics are intriguing until you realize that no matter what you do, your team will go 2-10 every year, and it will take around 30 hours of simulating through multiple years just to be able to upgrade facilities enough to be competitive. ### 1/5 — ai is braindead *2025-10-15, version 1.1.5* cant wait to watch my quarterback chuck the ball 90 yards to the triple covered 64 ovr reciever instead of throwing a checkdown for 30+ yac. awesome game bro 👎 ### 1/5 — Just Really Bad *2025-09-22* It’s one thing to make the players in the game bad if they have a low overall, but they weren’t just bad, they were plain stupid. I watched as my QB overlooked 2 open receivers EVERY pass play. This led me to getting sacked or incompletion every time I passed the ball. So I opted to start running it just for my running back to fumble or not follow the play at all and get tackled completely missing possible openings. It’s like the devs didn’t know how to make it hard so they just made the players stupid. Can’t believe I paid for premium, I’ll most certainly be getting a refund for that. ### 1/5 — AI is so dumb *2025-09-06, version 1.1.3* My quarterback almost never throws to open receivers and throws in doubt coverage every time and he doesn’t even try to scramble when pressured. When a receiver is the qb waits until another db comes to the wr and then throws ### 1/5 — Waste of time *2025-06-11, version 1.0.0* Both of my quarterbacks got suspended in the first half of my first season, and there was no way for me to replace them without spending real money, complete waste of time, what a scam. ### 1/5 — Trash *2025-04-23, version 1.0.0* How can a team with 76 defense stop 86 offense? That and many other random outcomes that don’t make any sense. Waste of time don’t bother downloading. ## Most praised reviews (10 highest-rated) ### 5/5 — Sooooo close! *2026-08-25* I’m glad to see their is an update coming and excited to see the defenses. I hope its not all zone coverages as shown in the trailer. I’m actually addicted to this game. Love it. But it could use a few tweaks. The receivers dont run the routes properly on created plays. QB throws when receivers covered by 2, even 3 defenders. That has to stop! And, maybe some pre-snap motion on offense? Another thing: more shotgun options besides Trips to the left. Come on. Give us more shotgun formations to choose from. Lastly, I want to call timeout, not hope the AI knows when to use them. Contact me and let me be your football logic consultant and you’ll have the best mobile football game ever made!! **Developer response:** Hello! Thanks for pointing that out! We’re glad you shared it, and we’ll keep it on our roadmap. ### 5/5 — pls update *2026-03-25, version 1.2.0* plssss ### 5/5 — Playoffs and transfer Porter to other teams *2026-01-30, version 1.2.0* It would be the best sim games out of all college games. I love that we can see the offense plays in 2D. Wish we could see the defense plays also in 2D. Also the the mid season. Recruit other players and coaches from other teams. Get other teams best player and send the coach out for other recruits ### 5/5 — Pretty challenging game *2026-01-14, version 1.2.0* This game used to get me really mad, but everything is essentially important to be a good team wether is redshirting people or upgrading employees pretty solid and good game ### 5/5 — Solid Manager Room for Improvement *2026-01-14* Mechanics for this franchise really work in the college version. Needs big time balancing and a non-paid competitive version. Only one or two ways to play right now unless you are buying enhancements, but has potential to be much more strategic. For instance, stadium and merch store make zero sense unless you are paying money for resources. Merch store costs $165M but only adds $5M profit per year. Over 25 years that’s a net loss. And scholarships and NIL are very weak compared to Scouting HQ costs when you do the math. When I see the leaderboard opponents with 25/25 national titles, seems to me there’s not a level playing field. Would like to see a competitive scene where you can’t cash rewards or buy enhancers. I’d even consider an entry fee, especially if you received back rewards for placement that season. Otherwise, I’m not one to splash cash on a mobile app which is clearly the target audience here so take with a grain of salt. **Developer response:** Hello Steve, thanks for taking the time to share about your experience. We are always striving to improve the game mechanics and we will consider your feedback and see how we can improve. ### 5/5 — Fun game *2026-01-05, version 1.2.0* Could use more mid season training and recruiting and more play option than just play calling ### 5/5 — 12 SS *2026-01-01, version 1.2.0* One of the teams in my save have 12 good strong safeties and no qb 10/10 ### 5/5 — Fire *2025-12-31, version 1.2.0* I like being a coach ### 5/5 — Defense *2025-12-02, version 1.2.0* This game is great but it would be better if you could also control the defensive side of the ball. Also when we play against a top 25 team it should have their rank on the score board. ### 5/5 — Good game *2025-10-05, version 1.1.5* Real college filling --- *Data collected daily from the US App Store and indexed by [AppsHunter](https://appshunter.io/).
