This game is incredible, I love everything about it, but that doesn’t mean there’s room for improvement. One thing I wish you would do is add it so you can see a opposing teams roster, coaches, etc. along with during gameplay you can see your opponents Star players on defense, like how you do with the users players. I’m pretty sure other people have said this in their reviews too, but it would be awesome if we were able to start in college or choose to stay in college, I don’t care if I have to pay for that feature, I would get it either way. Another one is of course the option to play on defense as well. I think it would be cool if you added a simulation feature to it, so you can sim games you don’t wanna play, because sometimes after like 5 full seasons of games, you just kinda get tired of playing and wish you could progress your career and franchise without actually having to play the football game. Also I think it should be easier to get Coach Credits, sometimes it’s really hard to resign guys because you don’t have enough cap room, but the only way to make more is to either cut someone or pay Coach Credits to expand the cap, but the expansion cap is mega expensive and the only way to get it without paying real money for more Coach Credits is to farm them for like 10 season. I think if you add this stuff this game becomes App games hall of fame worthy. Keep updating and make this game even better!
I LOVE THIS GAME. No ads. Loads of fun. The holy grail of games. This game is amazing. No ads, you can buy coaching credits if you want, you can buy a lot of things, such as more players or you can raise the salary cap. The actual gameplay is amazing, easy to learn, and easy to master. I found a glitch that if you lose or one of your players gets injured, just leave and restart the whole game. It's that easy. There was a glitch where your TE appeared twice, and your RB can phase through people.
Fantastic football game, everything is fun and controls easy. Just a few things to add. 1) option to kneel down to run clock if you have the lead. 2) ability to pick defense plays or have some more defense function. 3) make OL more valuable to team as well as running game. I understand point 1 and 2 have been addressed, played the game for 2 years and it comes down to lack of depth. So much can be added without breaking the game. Let's do this newstar! Keep the game alive and innovate
I like this game because it's a nice offline retro style football game and it's layout is very nice and the gameplay and it's very realistic. By their ability to have interceptions, fumble, kick offs, punts, etc. But sadly this game does not have the ability for you to play defense. But even though they won't let you play defense it's still a very nice game and would recommend. Also I would also like for people to checkout the Retro goal game also made from this gaming company. Overall 5 stars.
It's a great game. A great series of gams, all of them. But the dynamic difficulty has to be adjusted. I've pretty much mastered each game, so it'd be awesome to have more of a challenge across multiple playthroughs without having to play on extreme. The dynamic difficulty isn't difficult enough. The replayability would be greatly improved by adjusting the dynamic difficulty level.
Well if it isn't the finest NFL licensed game ever released on the NES.... Only perfectly adapted to mobile play. It's got a load of in-game customization, GM work, coaching, etc. If you don't try it at least once, Ndamukong Suh will step on your ankle long after the play was called dead, but you won't be able to do anything about it. I'd download it.
Overall, this game looks really good already. I like the interface of the menu. My only requests, please change the player models to the ones in Retro Bowl. The current ones look goofy and messed up. Also, I assume you already where going to do this but the colors for the teams need a major upgrade. Other than that this concept is awesome, keep it up!
I really enjoy the game. It is a really good arcade style game. I'm really hoping that they add defense to the game or at least being able to watch it. I do like the trucking ability. it's a lot easier to kick return. Also, the difficulty from medium to hard is a really big jump. They should make a difficulty based on the teams ranking or star level. over all, I think this game is really cool.
Games are short and easy for premium team customization is great I literally made a whole college roster with it gameplay is amazing the graphic are simple but amazing passing and running are great but things they could improve on is that there should be a option to put one of your players on kick returns cause i don’t like how slow the normal ones are and I feel like they could improve on dynamic difficulty I wanna feel the struggle against a 8-2 team and not the score being 60-20 and then the next week where a 1-8 team drops 55 on me and I barely get by but that’s pretty much my problems with the second one I can just easily change the difficulty to extreme I like the role of the upgrade system with the franchise like the stadium where if you lose with a 1 stadium your fan base basically goes to 100 to 50 from 1 lose to a 10 stadium where the fan base is barely affected like the role coordinators play and the attributes play but to finally cut this off my take away is you can pick up this game do the bare minimum by just playing games or get into the more complicated side with managing cap , coordinators, facilities, contracts , players morale or condition and trying to break records and you can get caught up in it I’ve never been more invested in a franchise centered sports game since like 2014 with ncaa 14 and if this game to me is better than madden 23 as a whole that says a lot
This game is good period. Without a doubt the second you download this game, your hooked. Improving your team with pixels from way back when, that’s amazing! First thing I would suggest is being able to play Defence. I just think it would be so cool if you were able to play with the your opponents but on Defence. That would also provide room for multiplayer. I think it would also be cool if you could play with a friend, play by play. Second thing I would suggest is logos for teams. That would be put in the middle of the field of course and where you keep the score. Third thing is Being able to make longer games. With Defence and longer games, this would Improve your game better than it already is. Fourth. I think people have already asked this a billion times, but it’s just a good idea. You should be able to have a mode that allows you to have real players, current and past. Such as Tom Brady or Brett Favre. Fifth, and last. Simulator mode. Kinda like a idle game where you upgrade things but better. I think it would be cool to be able to build and improve stadiums and be able to see what your doing, and make restaurants inside your stadium. This is one of the random ideas, but I’m just trying to provide suggestions for future updates. Thank you for making such a fun game, have a wonderful day-month-year and I hope you put my thoughts into consideration. Thank you again. - Sincerely, DogeMan
This is without a doubt the best sports game you can play on your phone. Full stop, no competitor. I was really excited to see the kick return update last week, but I’m really hoping we get a bug fix update soon that can return the rushing game back to normal. It’s almost unplayable right now taking a 3 yard loss one of out of every five times you try to run the ball. There’s no way I’m the first person to bring it up so I hope it’s coming soon! I’d love to see RetroBowl MVPs and maybe halftime stat breakdowns in future updates. Would also love to see a 3rd interchangeable receiver added as well like you can with TEs. I’ve seen other people say they’d like to see the other players and star players league wide and I totally agree. Would make the trade/free agency market more fun. Would love to have league wide stat boards as well to see who is leading in different categories and make record stats league wide and not just for the franchise. Hope updates like that roll around eventually, I would totally pay for any upgrades that come along. I enjoy the soccer game as well but it isn’t quite as addicting. Would love to see other sports as well, basketball would probably be pretty tough in this format but I bet baseball would be awesome. Super Baseball Simulator 1.000 for SNES would probably be sort of the model for that I’m guessing. Mostly came to plead that the rushing gets fixed but rambled on. Keep up the great work.
The game is without a doubt one of my favorite apps i’ve ever downloaded and i continue to love playing this game. Although, i think they should update it with a feature where you can see opposing teams roster, coaches, facility ratings, etc. They should also do something where you can simulate different choices during the game like getting an injured player halfway through the game so you have to make a decision on whether or not to let them keep playing type of scenario. I also think that letting you choose your defense set up or different defensive plays would be cool. I say that because of the fact the game only uses a 4-3 defense and i’d love to see my team with a 3-4 defense and occasionally a 5-1 defense on the goal line maybe. I think it would also be neat if they added the option of drafting or getting a punter from the free agents list where the better the punter would also help with a better, more dominant performance from the defense cause the offense would have to gain more yards. The option to not only customize your team on premium but also your stadium, field, and stands would be really neat. Getting the option to make an avatar for yourself as the head coach would be really cool or the option to edit parts of your story leading up to becoming head coach of that team that you chose or got selected to. I think these would be really cool in a future update to the game or even a possible sequel. Nonetheless 5 star game without a doubt!!
After putting a lot of hours into this game, it's overall a great experience with a few minor quirks they would address. A rb with full speed stat is slower than a wr with full speed stat, which isn't too bad, but I'd really wish they would overhaul teammate blocking. If the opponents can tackle you from the side, your teammates should be able to block from the side. Most times your teammates will just shoot past the defender and then become completely useless for that play.
Really fun game to pass time. Probably the best mobile footbal game out there. You can even play with a controller if you want which is nice. Only downside is the difficulty difference is insane. You switch from Hard to Expert and it's almost impossible to gain more than 5 yards. Even with the fastest WR the CB will stay on them no matter what which I feel is a little unfair because what's the point of a 5 star WR if they can't even get open. Overall the game is amazing though
when you reach a certain difficulty you can't even try a contested catch. if anyone is anywhere within 3 body lengths of your character they intercept. even if you throw upwards of wr and the d guy is downwards it's a pick. like stats dont matter just can't throw to anyone with another guy even close to them. I get sometimes but every single time picked. not even like bat down or dropped it intercepted. still fun tho
Came back to this game from a long break, was pleased to find new updates! However, the difficulty has been jacked up considerably, almost to the point of it not being fun. Particularly kick returning, in which all of the blockers for the returner get pancaked almost every time. If the difficulty is medium or above, defensive players can jump sixteen feet in the air to intercept passes. And what's with only gaining 3% of fans for winning a game decidedly, and losing 15%+ for losing at all?
Great game! But the only issue I have is that is is not that realistic. Like for example, fumbles could be more often like 2 times a game. The prices for kick returns is making people a bit mad. And also, the updates should be like every 3 months and not like every year. But overall great game.
It's truly a great game. Just wish you could play defense, and maybe a way to do more social teams, onside kicks, kickoffs, etc. The controls aren't very hard, yet give the player a challenge. The game can be frustrating with controls when moving side to side however. I love how ads are do not interrupt the game, never.
Amazing game! I have some suggestions though. First, I love the swipe controls to control the receiver of the ball, but a setting to toggle a digital joystick would be nice! With swiping, you can't move backwards, but with a joystick you can! Second, an easier way to select plays to run would be nice convenient! Next, in exhibition games or even season games, the ability to play defense against the offense would be amazing! But still keep the option to turn on a Sim game. Thank you!
Great gameplay hook. Easy to pick up football game but it's real easy to exploit the AI once you've had time to play. There isnt much depth to the off season activities. But fantastic price, the game treats its player base with respect. No money grab bs. Even months later I'll pull up the game and do a few matches from time to time.
For a very arcadey, strictly offense- focused game it's shocking how good this title is. Dealing with player morale, extracurricular antics and finances adds a lot of variety. On the downside, the playbook (AI does all the calling) is very limited. Plus, there's no way to see the silly in-game stats while the game is playing. Fortunately, there's a decent sense of accomplishment from helping your squad move from worst to first. Combined with stylized low rez visuals, RB is a solid contender.
Awesome for what it is. Small RPG elements make it even better. I have only played a little bit but the whole game screams NES or DOS! It makes me feel feelings as I was a child of the 90s. I also recommend enabling "scan lines" for the whole feel. I just really wish this was a full fledged football game. You only play offense and all other plays are just text on screen. I would pay money to play defense. Even just be able to see the computer play, even if it was sped up. Maybe on day.
Overall, it's a good game. However, every once in a while, the game will randomly lag for a few seconds as I'm trying to make a play and it does affect the outcome of a game (for instance I was about to make a deep pass to a WR but as I lifted my thumb off the screen to make the throw, it didn't happen till a few seconds letter resulting in an interception). Aside from that, I pray for defense mechanics for a fuller experience.
edit: since some update 'hard' mode has resulted in constant interceptions when that never used to happen. it's just not fun anymore, I uninstalled. it was one of my favorite. One of my favorite games. The graphics are an asset, not a detraction. It makes it playable while still being complex. I get the same rush watch my TE make a good catch as I do watching the real thing.
