One Of The Best (If Not The Best)
Mon Nov 30 2020 Tanner D PowersThis is definitely one of the best games available on the App Store, if not THE BEST. I love the simplicity. It so easy to understand and pick the game up. One of the best features (sadly) is that their are NO ADS. Just choose your save file and play. No in-app purchases, no “stamina”, and no time wasted. The only places that could be improved are the actual games and the offseason. The actual games could use a little more excitement. For example, maybe some crowd noise when teams score (if you watch it slowly) or even someway to watch the game. Just a simple court with the players and the ball. An example you could find in some 2K games I believe. The Offseason is where I believe the game can be improved the most. Once you get the hang of it, it can become very easy. On the other hand, you can have 99% to 100% of the recruit’s interest and the still do not commit to your school. Promises, Transfers, and convincing players to stay would be a great addition. I saw another person say that there should be offseason points for all of these things, and I think that is a great idea. Other than that, I only have one request... PLEASE MAKE A COLLEGE FOOTBALL GAME! That would be great and I am sure a lot of people would like that!
Fantastic Simulator Game, but I do have a Suggestion
Sat Aug 19 2023 DaKessler06This is one of the best sports simulator games I’ve ever played! It’s super addictive, and it’s very fun to play when offline. The real life teams mod is very cool, which I use in every single save I play on.
I do have a suggestion that I think this game needs to make it more realistic and enjoyable. There should be a transfer portal in the game, where players from big schools don’t get enough playing time within a couple years, they can transfer to a smaller school to get more playing time, or if there are players who are so good at a smaller school, they can transfer to a bigger school to increase their chance to get in the draft. The transfer portal should work like recruiting, except you get transfer points, depending on how well your team does. It could also help fill in any positions you have missing, like if you have less than 2 of a certain position, you could simply find a player in that position and try to get them to transfer to your school. Also, if redshirting option could be added, it would be a great addition to make the game more realistic.
Overall, Love this game, would definitely recommend to anyone who wants an offline sports simulator game.
No funny business- clean and fun sim
Wed Nov 11 2020 ianjerzykThis is the first review I’ve ever left for a game in my twelve years of being an apple user. Sadly, the best compliment of this game is the fact that you aren’t held back by anything- there are no ads at all. There is no time required to wait for stamina or whatever else artificially blocks you from progressing.
There is a learning curve; the recruiting process is pretty unique, and can lead one into misunderstanding how to use your influence. I had to restart after I realized that I had no clue what I was doing.
The only fault I have is that, being a mobile game made by a kid in college right now (as an Econ major... how awesome is that?), once you understand the general flow of how to recruit and progress with a smaller program, you will find the game loses a bit of the challenge.
I would pay money for this game if I could. I tried to find a way to buy an in app purchase just to support the creator, but there are no in app purchases. Just an extremely well built, not necessarily extremely difficult but well refined sim.
Goated Simulation Game
Sat Apr 19 2025 Devo ManteroPlease never stop making games like this. The simulation style is one I’m very fond of. I’ve been playing this game since I was a senior in Highschool man, and I graduated 5 years ago. I’ve been playing basically since the beginning and I can barely say in words how great it is to have this game on my phone, especially if I’m bored or without WiFi or Cell Service. If I have one negative aspect about it all is that the overall layout of the game is starting to get old, not in a bad sense per say, but I’ve been seeing the same letter fonts and same colors and etc for a while, I think there should be an update regarding game quality and appearance. Great game style tho nonetheless. Also please read and listen to the other reviews, there are hundreds if not thousands of dedicated fans who still play this, and majority are asking for a College Football Versions of this, to which I would like to see as well tbh
Simple and fun
Sat Jan 08 2022 ABNoriginalLet me preface this by saying 2 things.. I don’t review apps and I don’t play games on my phone. Ok 3 things, I don’t even care for college basketball.
But this game is so addicting! I can’t put it down. And it’s great because it doesn’t require a ton of attention but just enough to keep you engaged. No ads, no waiting for stamina and no monetary upgrade options. If you were to make this for other college sports I don’t know what I would do with myself. My wife and kids would never see me.
I think one cool feature would be to have college coach rankings once you’re retired. Show how you stack up with the greats like coach K and coach wooden (obviously you’d have to use different names for licensing purposes but we would understand who it is). Just a thought but really a great game! Perfect for someone who wants to enjoy something but not be completely oblivious to everything going on around them. 5+ stars!
Easy/Challenge Mode
Fri Aug 30 2019 rosssmithiiI love this game and I can play it anywhere and anytime I want to, but I just wish that you could add a feature where the player could select a difficulty, like maybe an easy mode where the players wouldn’t leave early for the draft, easier recruiting, and maybe be able to select a team with a higher prestige. The hard/challenge mode would make recruiting harder and make winning/building your prestige a lot harder and maybe add a feature where you’re only allowed to select from a small group of teams that don’t have high a prestige. While the normal mode would keep the game the same as it is now. Just a suggestion to allow players that are new to the game to have more fun and add a new laid back element to this already great game.
Update! Another Small Problem...
Sat Oct 26 2019 igot_thefunkWhen my chances of recruiting a player are at 100%, please for the love of god I shouldn’t be losing out on 1-2 of those players where I’m at 100% recruitment odds every year. It seems ridiculous.
————————————————————
This game is awesome! It’s great going from worst to first on this game. It’s tedious, but in a way it feels fulfilling. However, there are a few problems with it. If your prestige starts at below 80 or if it falls below 80, you can never get it above 80. I won the national championship 8 years in a row and my team was stuck at 80. And if you play the game unlocked(choosing any team you like), and I will exceed the season record expectation with this team, reach the final 4 drop, and 10 prestige to 80 prestige for no good reason even though I exceeded expectations both record wise and tournament wise, and then since I hit 80 or below, I’m then stuck at that prestige. To me that makes no sense.
Best Mobile Game Available
Sun Feb 27 2022 _BIGMIKE_27If you want an addicting quick paced game then this is for you. This game has all the essentials to be good and it really has that College Basketball feel to it. You start at the bottom and work your way up but you play conference games, recruit and even get to participate in a 64 team March Madness. The only flaw to the game is that it’s all simulation and not any actual managing so I propose this. If you select Play Game rather than Sim Game I wish that you could call to out if your team hits a cold streak or change up your scheme like switch to a zone rather than man to man just to add some more real life game play in it. Other than that I give this game 5 stars because I play it all the time and I am currently in year 2150!
Great College Basketball game
Thu May 25 2023 Bjax121I’ve spent countless hours and literally hundreds if not >1000 seasons on this game. It does have a glitch one you get into like the 13th coach where the game will skip a season or crash, but I get it considering the size of data it has to hold to that point, so I won’t complain. It really is a great game, there are times I wish it had a transfer portal, and sometimes I’m glad it doesn’t. I really ish there was a redshirt option though, especially for players on the reserve team.
Otherwise would LOVE they could make a college baseball version of the game, football wouldn’t be bad either but there’s already plenty of those, I feel like the software/game system would work well for baseball though.
Great game but needs some improvements
Thu Dec 08 2022 zuuruxThis game hasn’t been updated in around 3 but if it is ever updated I would like to see a feature where you can persuade your freshman/underclassmen to stay and not get drafted. Right now I have to decrease their usage and playing time and that can be strenuous.
Something related to that is that I find that usually the top players that are drafted are usually freshmen. Usually the top 10 players being drafted are freshmen and I don’t find that very realistic.
With that all being said, I don’t expect this to be implemented but this is an all around great game. Besides my local university I’m not incredibly interested in college basketball, but this game is a lot of fun and one of the best sports simulating games out there.
