this is not a good game, the player's team has to put in hard work and effort, while the opposing team just instantly gets a touchdown, please change this
This game is AWFUL!!! No defense, terrible hitboxes, and several things are missing. This game also hasn't updated in FOREVER. The roster is way, way too small. 12 maximum?! Yall need to update several things! Do not recommend.
it was amazing except for one thing... why can't we play defense at least for one drive that's why I'm giving this game a 1 star review do better retro bowl producers please give the people what they want.
stopped updating no reason to play anymore
it sucks
Near perfect game. Just add cloud saving. I've invested too much real-world money on my old phone to not be able to transfer it to my new phone. Not going to start fresh. Let me transfer my progress please. You already have my money. UPDATE 3 years later still no cloud support. It is 2026 gang. Make it make sense.
this game sucks. u get so hyped but then it randomly when they get the ball they somehow hit a touch Everytime
I like everything except, no defense? no controller support? its 2026! Who drops a sport game without control support. That will be your downfall. Uninstalling.
Bring us the real one.
lags
stupid game, controls make no sense.
WR cant catch bullet passes, defense is cant get a stop, have to play perfect every possession, continuously running out of cap space and have to release best players
Really good game but it's let down by the score being hidden by the teams name on foldable phones
I've been playing this game ever since it was released. I bought the full version. Not sure what the devs did, but this whole 'truck' mess with my runners and whatever the deal is with not being able to focus FG and extra point kicks is ruining the experience for me.
