I really like this game and don’t have any complaints. The one suggestion I have is to make a sync with retro bowl option so you can play the career of your college player once they get drafted. Similar to the feature in EA College Football 26 and Madden 26. Sync I really like this game and don’t have any complaints.

this game is so much fun, relaxing and next to no ads, 10/10 recommend. the only thing I would love for them to add would maybe be like some news articles or something about your team, even ai generated if they could, just a little extra thing that could add to the game. Also, would love some sort of a career mode, game become very repetitive after a while. obsessed with the game this game is so much fun, relaxing and next to no ads, 10/10 recommend. the only thing I would love for them to add would maybe be like some news articles or something about your team, even ai generated if they could, just a little extra thing that could add to the game.

I wish there was a transfer portal it would improve the level of this game 1000’s I mean if you could get players another way than recruiting high school players and being able to get sophomores and juniors from other programs with the cc it would make this game amazing Transfer portal I wish there was a transfer portal it would improve the level of this game 1000’s I mean if you could get players another way than recruiting high school players and being able to get sophomores and juniors from other programs with the cc it would make this game amazing

Retro Bowl College is better in pretty much every way than its predecessor. One of the main issues it addresses is the snowballing effect that happens in the original Retro Bowl: after winning a few Super Bowls you have enough credits to always have the best players that you need in each draft. Players can stay on for many years thereby guaranteeing five star teams. Retro Bowl College in comparison limits players to 4 years (sometimes 3 if they opt to go to the draft). This means that the player has to spend a year or two building the right team to ensure a good run at the championship. It feels much more realistic and adds much needed balance to “end game” coaching careers. Overall, Retro Bowl College is my go-to nowadays. It’s more challenging in all the right ways yet still just as easy to pick up and play. The superior version of Retro Bowl Retro Bowl College is better in pretty much every way than its predecessor.
