Game

It would be so much better if I could simulate some of the games but overall love the game

Update is NEEDED

This Game is super fun and is a great game overall, but it’s not up to date. If they made a College Football game just like NFL Retro Bowl 25 that will be Amazing!! The team’s colors aren’t even right. Maybe they could try to get licensed by NCAA and make the actual conferences and teams. Even the little things could be fixed and maybe even make a new one just like NFL Retro Bowl 25. Although it is still a good game. It has POTENTIAL!

Needs a sim button and update conferences

Over all the game is really fun but I still like the og better because of the sim button. I think that the game would be so much better if y’all just added a sim button. It just gets to tedious of playing over and over and you just get bored so having the sim button helps you speed up the process of getting to the best college. Y’all also need to update the conferences to match the new conferences in college football today.

Gameplay suggestion

One thing i have to suggest is maybe implementing a joystick into all three versions of Retro Bowl. Regular, College, and NFL 25. I've played with a controller and it is so much easier to run and move after the catch. Maybe the joystick could be used so the qb can throw on the run or roll out of the pocket to avoid pressure while still being able to throw it. It is just a suggestion but I think it would be really cool feature.

So rigged,

I played this game and Let me tell you this RIGHT AS YOU BEGIN, you can’t choose your OWN team, I’m rating this 5 stars because so everyone can see this , also When you play a game on the field. The game rigs it so you can lose, Please do not play this game.

WHEN WILL YOU ADD THE NEW CONFERENCE REALIGNMENT

WHERE IS THE NEW CONFERENCE REALIGNMENT But overall I really like this game but ADD CONFERENCE REALIGNMENT

It got old

After a while playing it, it gets boring. Like I need to spice things up a bit. You need to make and update in which you allow to customize conferences and make it realistic teams. And also make the sim engine work, bowling green should not be first. I also feel like you need to make the 12 team playoffs and update teams uniforms/ teams in conferences in general. I think if you add this, it will be my favorite game all time

Love the game

It’s just as good as the original but now with the college which I’m all for but please change the color scheme of Louisville when have they every wore green uniforms other then that fantastic game

Playoffs

Love the game. Can we get the 12 team playoff going on here please.

Amazing

Amazing game I loved the first retro bowl but this one tops it I have one complaint i accidentally deleted the game and I had premium but now even when I hit restore purchases I don’t have it? But still a masterpiece of a mobile game

Needs a Simulation option

Really fun game but it’d be nice if they could add the option to simulate past the games just like Retro Bowl. Besides that the game is overall very enjoyable.

My Retro Bowl College Wish 4/17/24

I feel like they should add Exhibition games in the game as well like they did with regular retro bowl. I really like the game and a while back I bought the Unlimited Version as well.

We need sim

We need sim becuase I don’t wanna play the whole thing every time it gets borning but it’s a all around good game and I like it it’s pretty easy honestly and all we need is sim

Add trucking into the game

The game has pretty nice juking, stiff arm, and breaking tackle mechanics. I genuinely feel as though making a mechanic where you truck the opponent would make it better. You could also have it so that offensive players with higher strength are more likely to do it. It’d be a great addition in my opinion that should be added in the next update. I also feel that the mechanic should be added to both the original retro bowl and the college version. Having a Derrick Henry like player who’s running t

One thing holding it back

One thing holding back this game imo is the option to sim thru a season rather play EVERY game

Review

Great game but wish you had the simulation option like in the OG retro bowl.

Better than the Original

Twice as good as the original, every game matters, you have to build your team strictly using recruiting, and more flexibility with customization because it includes all 250+ college teams. I tried doing retro bowl college with the original, but obviously I can't do all the teams. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

I’m sick of this

WHY CAN THE COMPUTER TEAM CATCH WITH THE BACK OF THEIR HELMETS IT DRIVES ME CRAZY 😭

Please

This game is so much fun, I do think that it does have the potential to be even better. Adding a multiplayer ability would break the internet i think. Even if it costs money to unlock the ability to play it. Fighting for recruits with your friends or playing a buddy in the CFP would be insanely fun, and maybe adding a transfer portal as well, seeing a friend steal a player from your team in the transfer portal would be amazing. Like I said, the game is already amazing, but adding multiplayer and

Help

My only request is that I’m colorblind so on the fields with bright end zones I can’t see the kicking accuracy bar at all, can you please do something to fix that? Maybe make it black?

I love it but needs fixing

I love all the retro games like retro bowl but when I saw rb college I had to buy it.I like the game a lot but even if I end with a perfect season three times in a row and win all the bowls it still doesn’t let me pick a better team and there should be a way to manage their gpa other than spending credits and why do you have to buy the premium pack just to do what you can for free in retro bowl nfl.Sorry,but I’d much rather play retro bowl nfl.

Recruiting and Transfer portal

Overall the game is good the Gameplay is great, but the recruiting is flawed i wish they would spend more time on that other than that i think this game is amazing. I also wish they would add transfer portal but that might be to much.

Great Game

Very fun offline game! Would love to see the sim game feature from the original Retro Bowl added so we can have a way to see the team we made perform better.

Provo

Ok my problem for the game is that my favorite teams colors do not match. Provo should be navy blue white and black not purple.

Fixes

Hey im a HUGE college football fan but i had to say i was a little let down. Dont get me wrong, the playoffs, the OT rules, the amount of teams, and overall new look is great but some uniforms needs some crazy fixes: the georgia red is very dark, the Tennessee orange is red basically, the NC State red is also off to me. Maybe in the next update can you guys fix this so that i dont have to pay a dollar just to edit the uniforms to make it realistic?

Add simulation

I like this but I also like retro bowl. but my issues of the game are you can’t pick your starting team and. you can’t simulate

Exhibition

Pls add Exhibition

No auto sim?

Why isn’t there a sim mode

Please do this with me!!!!!!

I don’t actually have a five star review I just want people to see it. New star add super sim.Or I will delete this game!!

MacOS needs some attention

just allowing the arrow keys to work on mac would be awesome an overall improvement would be allowing the facemask to be colored in the team customization menu.

How is it this lazy?

The foundation of this game is great because it’s a lazy copy and paste of the original retro bowl but without the polish. How is there no sim game feature yet? The majority of the teams have the wrong colors and that’s if they even took the time to give them unique uniforms and didn’t leave the default navy ones. I like the format of the college game but this was a lazy cash grab.

Please update the uniforms

Please update the uniforms , because there’s teams on there that are totally not right and I want to play this game but it’s annoying that the uniforms are not correct, like with Retro Bowl you guys got the uniforms correct and even went a step further with the rush and alternate jerseys
