Excellent with need of a few tweaks
Fri Oct 12 2018 QaxedfhjjfI absolutely love this game. If I was to nitpick and ask for a couple things, it would be this. Schedule harder out of conference games for those teams who have greater scoring capacity. Waiting by 60 points is no fun. I have also had my entire team on as first and second team in our conference. This is totally unrealistic and the one thing that I think needs to be changed. Also, When I am making multiple millions as a salary and there is very little to compete for other team offers, why when would I change teams? Change that. Lastly, Why would I ever practice on my own when I get virtual success on most sim practice. Is there that much of a difference when you win the practice. Rather than random things to practice on, can I pick what it is? Also, can you make a feature of five star teams and possibly have tournaments during the season? Lastly, if I win in the last shot of of 3 ball, it still says I lose. Thanks for all your good work on this game.
Absolutely Great Game- minor suggestions
Sun Mar 18 2018 BaylorBearBoundHey, all I really play in my phone are a couple of online games and sports sims, this is by far in contention for the best on iOS with OOTP’s MLB Manager 17. The only thing it lacks in my opinion is some strategic depth. For instance, having positions. This would be awesome to have a legit starting 5 and have to play/ plan that way. This would make recruiting more strategic; instead of just going to best available, you may need a C and have to get one who is 7 overall instead of going for the mass of 9’s available in the current system. Another would be adding measurables, ie height and weight for starters. I really do enjoy this game, and my last suggestion for now would be the option to turn off some purchases, as I have noticed that the game is too easy after buying the recruiting boost. Thanks for the great game, and I know this isn’t a small ask, but I’m a hardcore sports fan and these additions would put this game over the top.

Wed Jun 21 2017 peytonhodges44This is the only game I play on my phone. It is very fun and time consuming. But there are a few problems that get on my nerves.
• I dont understand how some teams get multiple players who average over 20 ppg and are only 8 or 9 overalls. I have lost in the conference championship game every year against lexington, ky or Kentucky because they had a team that had multiple 20 ppg players. At one point in those years I had a team with 4 10 overalls and 6 9 overalls, yet none of them averaged above 20ppg and my team was blown away 4 times by kentucky in one year. Their team had 3 9 overalls, 2 8 overalls, and the rest were 7 or 6 overalls. It drives me crazy.
• Another problem is recruiting, because it says that im in the lead for a recruit on both the points list and the players list, yet somehow I end up losing the recruit to another team. It is so bad that at some players i have been up by over 100points and I still lost the recruits.
• This isnt a problem, but I would like to add an interest bar for players leaving early for the draft. I have no idea if the player wants to return to school or go to the draft. It turns out to be a waste of points for 3 weeks, which is crucial for recruiting if you have more than 5 spots open on your team.
•Also could you lower the overalls for some recruits. I dont like the idea of their being 10 overall players in their first season. I believe 9 overall should be the highest.
-Thanks
Good overall
Sun Jan 20 2019 hhhhdkdidubThis is a good and fun game overall. There are a lot of teams you can select between which is very nice. There are just a few things I’d like to be added. I would like for the recruiting to be by position more like in the college football coach game. I would also like the recruiting points to not have a max you can apply to one person. If you only need 2 players why should you only be able to put 50 points out of 250 towards them per round. Also I wish the names of the colleges were the actual names of the colleges. Instead of it saying Columbus Ohio I wish it said Ohio State also like the football game. Other than that I love the game.
Great- just too easy
Tue Dec 19 2017 KiernanG06I have played the mess out of this game, and I honestly love it. It brings not only a college basketball game in a time where they are hard to come by- but it does it in an amazing way- with a simple yet quality interface. The game can be addicting. The only things that can be improved on are how easy the game is- I won 4 straight national championships on multiple occasions and the recruiting is easy. Also I know it’s kind of late to add this but the advanced player stats- I understand that the simple part of the game makes it so great- but there is far more to a quality basketball player than just scoring.
With those two being said I really enjoy the game and I hope you keep updating it- I have all the addons(except the recruiting bonuses bc it’s already easy) with hope that more features come to the game. Thanks for making this :)
Best Game Ever
Sun Oct 08 2017 Yomama86David Zolnier I really hope you read this. This game blew me away as a college basketball fan. It has so many things that invest me so much in this virtual
basketball world, and it is realistic to the point that the last names are even realistic. It makes it feel more like the players are real rather than just a ton of Smiths and Johnsons. It is hard to field together a good team which makes it even more fun. Upsets happen a very realistic amount of times and it really makes each and every game exciting. It even has a leaderboard for point leaders within conferences which makes it awesome to see how high up the leaderboard your players can get (My all time leader in scoring currently is M. Long). Please keep updating this game as I see that it hasn't been updated in a while. This game is absoulutely incredible.
Good Game... But
Mon Nov 19 2018 LdkdkjejeiejListen, it’s a really good game for people like me that love College Basketball and March Madness and all that. But the game is seemingly impossible to win. I’ve been playing it for a while now, but there have been numerous, and I mean numerous years that I’ve had the clear, best team out of all the colleges present, and I lose somehow to a team that has no advantage over me in the playoffs. You have to fix that. I get that upsets happen, but when they happen almost every year, it gets annoying. And recruit battles make no sense sometimes. I’m leading a recruit by 100s of points, he’s in my region/area, and my school is up on his list, but he commits somewhere else. I don’t get that sometimes either. If this and the other playoff thing is fixed, then it’s an almost perfect game. It’s fun and time-consuming, but those 2 things should be fixed to make the game more enjoyable rather than frustrating.
Great app, small fixes
Sun Mar 04 2018 JefejefejefejefeI love this app and have used it everyday since I bought it. I noticed sometimes the seeding in the tournament can be off where a team that should be much higher up ends up as a 17 seed. Also, the job openings are very unrealistic, I once had the national championship winning team offer me a job but the team I was on barely made the tournament. Usually there is way to many ranked teams who need coaches especially too many if the user is controlling a smaller school. Recruiting could be more realistic and harder. I once had the number 3ovr recruit list my unranked, 2 Star, small conference school as his second choice and I thinks that’s incredibly uncommon. It should be harder for small schools to get better recruits.
Not worth it
Wed Mar 14 2018 getitinohioI thought I would buy all the features right off the bat and spent the money which I regret. I played 5 seasons over the course of two days and in that time the same exact team won the national championship every year. Recruiting was so easy, I got almost every recruit I went after. To practice in between games with a player is agonizing, but if you sim it’s not worth it either as you have just as much of a chance to fail. Trying to find where your players are in the stat rankings is awful as it is a bunch of colored lines that mean nothing. You get offered money for your coaching contracts and it doesn’t do anything so there is no incentive to leave. I took a team from a 1 Star to 4 Star prestige in 4 years. All in all this is a far better game than I can develop, but far from something I’d feel comfortable charging for.
Great game
Thu Feb 07 2019 Smooth4434To anybody that actually reads these reviews, many people are complaining about a lot of things. Some complain about practice, which you can simply aim if it’s that bad. Others complain about the in app purchases, which are completely unnecessary and my team has been God’s each year without it. There’s no lag and it’s just a simple great overall game. The only thing I would like to see happen is something similar to new soccer star, where you can actual buy stuff with the money you have earned for coaching. Other than that this game is awesome and it’s definitely worth the price.
