Unfair
I love this game play it abt 2 hours every day. I was in the national championship, and up by 15 in the 4th quarter the other team got a touchdown and a two point conversion then they got an onside kick then a 2 point conversion leaving me with 5 seconds 75 yards away from getting a touchdown and my kicker was injured so this game is horrible😭

This game sucks
This might just be because I’m a bad player but this game sucks every single play is either an interception or fumble and I’ve been playing this game for like 56 seasons and my players still suck and I’ll be trying to get good office admission players but I wonder what happens. I don’t have enough money and I never get enough coach credits so I can get more freshman ad space so yeah big your game new star whatever you’re corporation is called.

★★★★★ TrappinClothes 1/9/2026 v1.0.17
Extreme mode is so predictable
If all extreme mode means is your RB is guaranteed one fumble a game even with max strength and stamina, then why even make it a mode in the game. The game is way too easy on hard, the only competitive way to play is extreme. But it’s stupid that my Derrick Henry level RB is guaranteed one fumble a game just for getting carries. It makes zero sense.
★★★★★ Guywhoreview 1/7/2026 v1.0.14
Not balanced
The difference between hard and extreme difficulty is too much. Makes the game not enjoyable
★★★★★ Zay12457 1/5/2026 v1.0.14
Trash
Recievers can’t catch anything that comes their way. I never had this issue with the other game
