Interesting Idea for Update?
I never leave reviews on games or apps and this is the one exception. This quickly became one of my favorite games. I play it all the time whether i’m at work or at home i’m playing it. I just have one suggestion. There were a lot of occasions where I lost an important game because of the AI Head Coach made a poor play call and it led to me not getting a field goal chance on a 4th down. I think it would be interesting to allow the player the option for what the team does on the 4th Down. Do they go for it, do they got for the FG, do they punt? I think it would make the game more fun. A joystick to control the QB when he runs or after a complete pass would be pretty interesting… GREAT GAME!

Hi there! We appreciate this so much. Thanks for sharing your experience.
Great Concept But Needs Work
I’m in my players 7th season and damn the Ai is basically impossible to win against. I won 1 Super Bowl so far and every time I lose it’s because it’s out of my control my 94+ kicker misses a game winning PAT? My 95 RB fumbles the ball on the 4 yard line so they score and win? The one year I won was pretty much luck I got the ball back and was able to score where when there was no time remaining so the ai couldn’t cheese a 75+ yard passing TD. The progression system is a joke tbh you’re telling me I draft a 5 star WR and I have manually progressive him or else he will stay an 81? Player progression should not have to be bought and should just happen naturally like how the players regress. This game is fun and a great idea but there are a few things that make it brutal when actually trying to progress. I won a a couple of MVPs and when it was time to sign an extension the team that drafted me didn’t even offer me the most money. Which is ridiculous because I should be getting max money since I’m a 3x MVP and a Super Bowl champ. But what can you do but watch the ai be coded to beat you in the playoffs

Player control
Even if you put "all" in total control sometimes you dont even get to pick a play at all in the whole drive because it choses all runs just to go 3 and out... or i want to run it in the endzone with my qb yet my rb steals the td. Pleasee let "all" be actually all control!!!
Fun but frustrating gameplay
Game is very fun but it can sometimes be frustrating due to the “coach decisions”. you regularly get into situations late in games when the AI coach decides not to call timeouts or call the right play. I’ve run out of time while driving with timeouts in pocket and had the AI decide to punt on 4th and 1 from the 35 with 2:30 left in the game down 11. Fun game, but frustrating when the AI makes bad decisions outside of your control.

Potential
The game can be fun but it is so hard to progress as you need so many touchdowns to get small upgrades. It’s so impossible to get the goals and upgrades since your team is permanently trash if you don’t pay for stamina every off season
Very fun game
I used to play the other games from this developer, but this is so much more fun since you can actually control the game.
One thing I’d like to see change: the play calling. Some of the play calls are atrocious and don’t make any sense (running a heavyset formation on 3rd and 15, for example). It would make sense to add an OC to the game, and the better the OC, the better plays you get drawn up.
I really dig this game tho, I hope there’s a version of this game coming for other sports too!!

Coach calling needs an upgrade but overall a great game.
Having a coach call for a punt with 15 seconds left 4th and 1 in the Conference finals wouldn’t be ideal play calling if you asked me but hey, I’m a bills fan so I definitely don’t know good play calling. This game is awesome now they need one like this for baseball. Pitching and/or hitting I would be obsessed.

Amazing game
It’s super fun
I wanna love it but I just cant.
This game has a lot of potential, but the progression system makes it difficult to fully enjoy. Most teams are rated between 85–95 overall, while your team starts around a 70 overall, creating a major competitive disadvantage. During the offseason, stamina is so limited that you can usually only acquire one or two players. While additional stamina can be earned by completing goals, those objectives are often extremely difficult to achieve without already having a competitive roster, which leaves players stuck with an underpowered team for multiple seasons. Player development is also frustratingly slow. Experience points are very difficult to earn, which severely limits how often players can be upgraded. Once a player reaches around an 85–86 overall, progression slows down even more, often allowing for only one upgrade per season. This makes it difficult to fully develop players before they begin to regress, which makes long-term team building feel unrewarding. The gameplay itself also feels unbalanced. The game suggests building a strong offensive line to create more time in the pocket, but even after doing so, there is still very little time to throw, likely because opposing teams are consistently rated much higher. Wide receivers rarely create separation, forcing players to rely on constant checkdowns or scrambling, which becomes repetitive and takes away from the overall experience.

Fun Game but Minor Tweaks Needed
The game is a great way to kill time, great that it can be played offline. Super simple mechanics and team building atmosphere, but there are some things that could be worked on. The TOTY awards go to whoever is best at the position, regardless of stats. You can have the three worst receivers in the game with the best stats on the season, and nobody will make TOTY. Another thing, it never shows your actual age in the game, which is fine but it's unrealistic having a 25+ year career. The biggest thing I dislike is how you can't retire and make a theoretical HOF. lots of AI players should and would be in there too, and you should be able to take your qb and transfer him over to ultimate GM to be a coach. The salary's are odd too. Incentivizes you to go to the worst team for the biggest salary(which makes sense) but it also in turn incentivizes you to spend money to be able to make that team much better. (Understandable) There's workarounds for sure but it's odd that your current franchise always offers you the least amount to re-sign. I'm not harping on the incentivizations to get people to pay, because you can have a great game experience without paying a dime. But def should add the ability to retire before just quitting and starting a new game, fix the TOTY skew, have a HOF, and possibly be able to upload your qb to ultimate GM. Very good thing yall have going, fun games all around, but always room for improvements. I'd be interested to see a different position become available to play such as HB/WR/TE, or any other player position, but I understand that defeats the "ultimate QB" part of the game. Keep it up!

Hello! Thanks for taking the time to share such detailed feedback! Thanks a lot for the recommendation! Reviews like this help us improve.
Coming soon maybe next year
This game needs some serious updating. Think the developers gave up on it.

Add Options for 4th Down
This is an amazing football sim game. Unlike some of your past works, I can’t complain about my players being bad because in this game I’m the one who has to get them the ball. However, the 4th down situations are very frustrating at times. In close games, the user can sometimes play the 4th down, but there are many times where it’s 4th and 1 and we punt or kick a field goal in the final minutes while down a big margin. Maybe we could have an option to go for it or kick/ punt?

Fun game, needs work
Your player can be a multiple time MVP but be in the 70s overall. If you’re down by 7 points in crunch time, the play call will be as conservative as it gets. It seems like they want you to lose important games with crazy turnovers but get stats on the weaker opponents. All that being said, it’s a fun game but needs tweaking.

Could be better
The AI somehow makes the worst decisions all the time, impossible to upgrade without spending money on in app purchases
Fun app
Fun game but frustrating you can’t use time outs. Also why does the clock run after incomplete passes?
Unbalanced
Game is heavily rigged in the favor of the ai. No difficult settings when you first begin to actually learn the game, not being able to choose plays, and it taking you out for 1-4 downs on a possession or playing for 2 seconds on an entire drive is ridiculous. If I can’t even play with my own plays, at least give more control over the team.
Game constantly doesn’t pass the ball when I tap or hold and release. So I get sacked. Game is stupidly rigged, zero fun. Gave it several chances but I’d rather not have every single game be the equivalent of fighting prime Mike Tyson fresh out of prison while I’m a 3 year old.

Basketball Version???
we all waiting for the basketball version 😂
Please change some things
You start off with a horrible team and when your contract over you should not have to be over a 85 that’s bs to me you on a horrible team with no defense for 5 years and when you done you can’t even JOIN A NEW TEAM (LOVE THE HAME THO)
Avoid this game
This scripting in this game is insane. If you’re looking for a game to casually enjoy, this is not it.
