This is a fantastic game to play in our free time. It really passes the time which definetly helped me get through quarantine. I think everything you have added to the game is great and I do really think that you have created something great here. There is one thing I would like to give you as a challenge to add to your game though. This is not the only free sports game that I play in my free time. There is a very popular group of free sports simulation games known as Zen GM. These games are all different in their own respect, but here is one thing that they all have in common that separates these Zen GM games from all other sports simulation games I have seen. Zen GM has a “God Mode” where one can take control of more then one team to create a user simulated experience. This has opened up a lot for the Zen GM games and I am also a part of the BBGM simulation leagues as well. The BBGM community is very large and has 13K people following its reddit page at the moment. I think that if this game had a God Mode like feature to it, it would be undeniable that this would be the best free college football game in the world and possibly the best college football simulation game as well. Just an idea.

I love this game. I have spent too much time on it. I just have a few things I would like to see improved, specially in the recruiting department. First, the “Program Needs” pop-up is sometimes wrong. It is usually entirely accurate with the position and quantity needed, but sometimes it gets it wrong. Sometimes a position that you need to recruit is not on there, and sometimes the quantity is wrong too. I have had instances where I need two linebackers to meet the minimum, and the pop-up says I only need one, or sometimes it doesn’t even have linebackers on there at all. It is really frustrating and defeats the purpose of it in the first place if I still have and manually check through my roster and count how many players i’ll have at every position. My second gripe is similar, although this isn’t a bug per se. When looking at the roster during recruiting, some players are greyed out. Those players have either graduated or transferred and have left the program. I wish the count next to each position didn't include the players leaving. Because of the aforementioned issue, I have to manually count how many players I have at each position, but if the number only displayed the returning players, I wouldn’t have to. Fixing both of these would make recruiting much easier.

Good football game with most of the elements you would expect from this genre. One thing missing and two thing not working. First the missing. There is no way to train or develop players as the season progesses. They come in at one rating and stay the same. If I am wrong , there is no obvious way to tell if progress is being made. Thus you can not adjust your line up to move players who have gotten better up into the starting line up. Things not working: 1) you can not move players around in the line up. If a player has aptitudes better fitting the style of play than one higher in line up, you can not move that player into the starting line up. 2) the recruiting search does not work. You can pick several options or characteristics you want in a player such as position, or potential or interest or stars, but when you click it to search for players meeting those specific characteristics the list shows all the players available regardless of the characteristics you chose. You must endlessly scroll through all the players to see what you want. If I want to see all the OL who are three stars and have a strong interest in my school, it will not show just those players.
The one good thing about the games is that it does not cost anything to play! Other than that it does not have an appeal.
