Community Insight:
CFB is amazing probably the best collage game in the app store right now, but just wondering if y'all are down to make a baseball one we would definitely play it and spend our $$$ on it.
All you had to do was add the editing and purchasing on here.
As countless others have said the recruiting part of the game is horrible. This is a fun game and we love to play it. But when we have a couple of 5 stars and im top one on all of their lists, why do some go to the second team. Yes there is a chance of that happening but we just recruited 10 5 stars and got only 6. Thats 60/40%. Its definitely not 80/16%. If so id have a pretty stacked team. But the point is recruiting makes the game unfun and could easily be better by a simple small fix. Last thing is the injuries, we shouldnt have to see 2 players get hurt every single week. Maybe every 5 weeks but every week is crazy. In all the game just needs to be fixed and it could be fixed the developers would just read the reviews. We enjoy the game it is a very good simulation game especially for college football.
Great game but game sim is too inconsistent.
For starters its close to impossible to have consistent play in this. If its not weekly injuries its dumb luck from a terrible opponent. Secondly why cant we see players dev trait when im scouting? Id avoid some of the low star players when recruiting if we knew they wouldn't progress or get better. Third why cant we improve our coach at all? Maybe have a small coach tree in the future so a player can feel they have more control outside of setting basic strategy settings and recruitment of players. Like we should be able to control how good our coach is at developing players as well as see wether players will even develop. Lastly this game snipes you out of players all the time. Three times now we have had over a 1,000 point lead on the second place team and out of nowhere 5 star prospect signs with team down significantly in scouting points or whatever you want to call them. Its annoying and defeats the entire purpose of having that ranking system in the game. If im #1 and have that large of a lead with an 80 percent lock we should not loose out on that player. Even though this was filled with things we dont like we do want to give the Devs credit for creating a truly free to play, fun, football simulation game. Only one out there so take our complaints with a grain of salt because the game is still awesome.
This game is a very good game, however it has some problems. First off, the stats are completely inaccurate. We had a game where our quarterback had 4 touchdown passes but our team only had 22 points. Also you wont see quarterbacks throwing 60+ passes on a regular basis.
Game gets pretty boring when you go 0-12 for 5 straight season and you cant really do much with your team, you cant train them, coach them, all you can really do is recruit them. Recruiting is really hard aswell because if there is a 5 star or something good and it has alot of scholarship offers from other schools it will be hard for you to offer a scholarship because you will be at the very bottom of their list, you can really only get 3 star recruits with any hassle. Game overall gets very repetitive and boring, only get this if your ready to handle alot of losses aswell as having to watch an ad every couple games.
The game is great but the saving is absolutely horrible one of the worst savings systems Ive ever played.
You always lose to teams that you should destroy every year no matter what we had five top 4 overall teams, and didnt win over 10 games ever. And a number 1 ranked team at the beginning of the year shouldnt go 4-8.
You cant win any games or get any recruits its stupid like we cant build a team when you only let us get 1 stars.
Recruiting is trash cant even land a single 4 or 5* recruit plz fix had to delete it.
Super excited for a second version of this to come out! Rooting for this game heavily, can play this for hours on end whenever we want to do something to past time, excited for new features as well.
Its a great game just update it please.
We would love a college baseball sim!! Please.
This game is vibe we wish u didnt have to save but its such a cool game.
We like your basketball football on BoxOfficeSim but we really want yall to make a Baseball one please baseball is one of our favorite sports including football and basketball with it, so can you please make a baseball game.
Best cfb football game Ive ever played on a phone.
Love this game. A college baseball version would be sick.
Can a team in Seattle be added. We love the game and we play it all the time. Ive had multiple careers and love the ability to change the team to our liking but we relocated our school to Seattle but only other school is in Pullman/WSU. We wanted to keep the rivalry between the two schools but the only school we could use was a school in Oregon which made it weird because we were a school in Washington but our pipeline was Oregon. Overall the game is amazing.
We love playing this game to pass time until NCAA24 comes out, its fun and all but the polls change a little too drastically, the coaching dynasties are fun.
This is by far our favorite college football sim of all time but there should be one thing added. Conference Switching, this would help lower schools in recruiting if they were to go to a better conference. Also if you build a powerhouse roster in your conference you could switch to a stronger conference. This is a minor detail, not a flaw, that would improve this game further.
Really like the game as Ive spent probably way too many hours playing it! But would love an update to the recruiting similar to the CFB Dynasty where we can repeat calls for all. And would be nice if recruiting overall got a face lift to show top 25 players in the country and even if they are outside of your pipeline once you reach a certain prestige level you can immediately access them. Just some suggestions but overall Im hooked either way haha.
Its been over a year can you add some more details with the scouting and coaching please.
Great concept and a great way to pass time.
We just feel like the game should show the pro draft so we can see our all-league players go to the league. Its sad watching them just graduate and not know if they are one of the top picks or not. And if you can add the record books to the game so we can see our history, that would be great too. We feel like the pro game is on the way so Im not gone speak on that.
It definitely takes some time to learn the game, strategies and recruitment methods, but once you do its very fun, we would suggest finding different playbooks that work against other teams.
Huge Fan ive spent hours upon hours build dynastys whether it be going from a small school to larger school or just starting off at a big school. The only thing we wished is more updates.
We love the game, its by far the best FOOTBALL game available. Very creative. Only things: 1) Can recruiting please be a but more reliable? Ive had 2,000 point leads on five-star players, only to have some random team come in and beat us to him. 2) Why does the game hate Jefferson (Louisville)? Its not like theyre bad in real life, but they manage to get consecutive 2-11 seasons in this. Thanks again.
The game itself is fantastic. Literally exactly what Im looking for in a sports management game. Its eaten away hours of our life and probably will eat many more. Really the only gripe we have is Position Changes. In any other menu, you can scroll all the way down and interact with the players, but in the PC menu, it only goes down to show half of the last player. If we want to see if he can be better at another position, we have to move most guys at the position to Kicker, then check, then move everyone back. Its a time consuming and, frankly, annoying process. Not sure if its a bug or just our phone model (iPhone XR), but other than that, Im very much enjoying the game. Excited to check out the basketball version too.
The recruiting is challenging every season, but having the teams somewhat restricted to their pipeline states is where the realistic part kinda falls a little. Ive played 5 complete seasons and was #1 in recruiting every year and that definitely shows now each week when Im winning by several touchdowns each week. Making this game compatible with an NFL version of this game where you can transfer graduated players to the NFL draft of a newer app version of this would be impressive. Either that or an NFL version of this game would be fun.
We want to start off by thanking the developer for making such a good game. Second, this game is very simple yet fun and a great time waster if you are in the slightest interested in sports or stats. Third, we have made it to 2045 in one of our dynasties and we noticed that in one gam we had 10 passing touchdowns yet only 50 points and we lost the game sending us from rank 19 to unranked by a mile which frustrated us a bit. How do we pass for 10 touchdowns and only have 50 points? Other than that and the recruiting issue others have mentioned this is a great game.
We loved the college football and basketball games, would love it if there was a baseball one.
Ive played for only a couple days, but its been amazing. It reminds us of NCAA football 09 on the wii when we used to play it. The only problem we have with it is the game plan system. We hope they could get around to fixing it, and making it more realistic, but its an all around good game.
This is an amazing app and we play all the apps these developers have put out and we personally have loved everyone of them! It would be nice to see a game like this as college baseball, just a massive fan of baseball and there is not a game like that in the App Store. But as for this game it is great and would recommend to anyone who enjoys football.
First off let us congratulate the devs for making a game that scratched our itch to fire up the NCAA all within a free mobile game. More than happy to pay for the add ons, not for any other reason but to support you. Positives: Most everything The fact you still could lose your prospects and that theres a max 80% chance is one of our favorite features. Heck yeah for the little man swinging upwards. The recruiting system randomized and tied to the success of your organization is exciting to start as a new school. We also love how much location matters, where you can get a 3 star without competition when in the Florida/Georgia/Bama area, whereas if youre in the northeast you struggle to get cheap 2 stars. The matchup Rock Paper Scissors with the variations of lineups is a great addition as is the hot cold streak system. These features makes this little game feel much more expansive. Some areas we feel could be improved: Regardless what school you are if you put an hour into a prospect and the location is good and it matches the desire, you can secure most 5 stars. We tried to play the worst possible team (can we get an oorah Erie Cows), and quickly turned them around because of this. We think if you made it have depreciating value of how often you press a talk type, would allow the bigger schools to have a bigger advantage, much like how it is in reality. So in order to compete, youd have to alternate between talking about academics, proximity, and coach prestige in order to maximize value. The position change week should be after the offseason training. Cant decide if we need a week where we change position or if it should be possible at all times. Another possibility is have it during cut week, its always a juggle to us to figure it out before hand. When in the target section of recruiting we would love if there was a reorganize button where it would enable the slide to change position function, or have the left side be the slider and the right side static to allow you to scroll, just a little tough to use the slide bar. Would love to have a history section where we can see how weve done over time, record each season. Even a college hall of fame would be amazing. This is al of the improvements we can think of on the spot. Summary: we cannot rant enough about how much we love this game, easily best phone game Ive ever had, unreal its free. We have half of a mind to buy the add ons to your other products just to support. 10/10 we hope you never burn your popcorn and you never have to wait at a red light. We hope your shoelaces never become untied and rain never falls upon your head. We hope you are existentially fulfilled and you find a higher spirituality.
Play this everyday Im addicted our only problems are losing games where the score is 11-23 and our qb dropped 4 touchdowns and when im recruiting the game guy commits somewhere else we cant really be mad about it tho. Both of these happened a few times its cool tho still love the game wasnt one of the people who grew up with ncaa.
Its a very fun game but we think it would be fun to have team and league records for various stats. It would add a more legacy feel to your team.
Im going to start this off by saying we dont leave to many reviews but this game is amazing to say the least the recruiting feel and even game management feels great. We feel extremely connected to all of our commits and players and building our small school to a super power is so fulfilling.Great overall game excited to try other titles by you.
As a big college football fan ourselves, Im one of those people who thinks NCAA 14 is the most enjoyable game to play. When we downloaded this game we didnt think it was gonna be what it is. It is to us NCAA 14 in your pocket. The developers have done a great job with this game and we hope you guys keep making it better. Because the only issue with we have is the big teams being bad at recruiting compared to teams ranked in the 50s… Thats all. Its the best mobile game Also if yall could add so that u could recruit in transfers or edit rosters .. THIS GAME WOULD BE PERFECT.
Love playing this game when we get the time. But there is definitely room for improvement we would automatically have auto save on when people start the game. Add some sort of Hall of Fame for players for our team not just a MVP. It would also be nice if we can go back and see all the MVPs and their stats as well. One of the most important provement that this game needs is to be able to have multiple saves. Ive tried opening one but every time we add a new one it deletes the first one we had. It becomes really annoying after customizing all 130+ teams. It would also be nice if we could copy and save into a different one and have two the same ones. (if that makes sense.) otherwise, a really fun game. Definitely suggest for people just trying to have a football coach simulator.
We like CFB its definitely one of the best of its simulators but we hate how unlike CBB your terminated by a school and have to be hop from school to school after every season its gets boring and you cant build a dynasty your just playing with a team.
As a major college sports fan we really enjoy this game. The basketball version that this developer has made is pretty good as well. Both could do with a few updates, but they are simple and easy to use. Great for a break during the work day. Since this developer has already made two college sports games, we really wish they would expand their offerings and do other college sports/recruiting games as well. There is nothing out there for the college hockey, lacrosse, or wrestling fan. Would it be so difficult to make similar versions of this game for those sports.
The game is awesome we are a huge college football fan. But it needs some help. The auto save is stupid. It should automatically save. And losing to a 0-0 team when your undefeated is abousutley ridiculous. Thats It.
The only thing we would change is let us play the game.
We see a lot of comments about recruiting and how we had a 500 point lead on a 5 star recruit playing as Mecklenburg (UNC Charlotte) and he didnt come to our school! Yes, that happens. Schools lower like that maybe get 1 4 star recruit every year, maybe a 5 star recruit every 5 or 6 years if theyre lucky. This game has taken an almost carbon copy of the NCAA 14 recruiting and simplified it to a mobile game. We love it. The game however does have performance issues, its a bit laggy at times even on the iPhone 12 Pro. If the game producers are reading the comments, a few things Id like to add: Conference Customization – Ive taken the time to rename all of the team names to the colleges their meant to represent, kudos to you for actually making it easy to do that. Roster Loading – If we were to start a new dynasty, Id have to recreate the entire team database again. We dont know how difficult it would be to implement something in the main menu to be able to load a roster when you start a Dynasty, but if Im making suggestions, this would be one. Performance Improvements – Recruiting can feel slow, at least in terms of it being a bit choppy. We understand this is a mobile game so Im giving it grace for certain considering its a lot of information for a mobile game to process. But even slight improvements would make a world of difference. Other than that, this game is wonderful. A beautiful mobile CFB simulator that takes the goodness of NCAA 14 that pumps those nostalgic veins.
Theres a lag on the recruiting screen when switching between players. Enough so that its just not realistically playable anymore. Ive put countless hours in on this app but we just cant use it in its current state, would love an update to fix it.
Can we get hall of fame added for player and coaches let us know if our players got drafted the round and pick career leaders in the history.
Add a draft. It would be nice to know that our 96 ovr QB didnt go undrafted.
Great game but it needs updates for the 2022-2023 season, otherwise its an awesome game that is fun to play.
Good game but we played about 700 games in one of our dynastys and won 500 of them and also won 5 championships but for some reason now when we try to play it it just loads for hours and wont let us play the dynasty we spent a long time on it and we would really like it if you could fix it.
