Pretty good app
This game just screwed me. Even though I signed FA, my whole team was wiped out. I’m done. No more money. Went from a complete test to all of a sudden 3 players. I’m done

Never buy anything from this game it just scammed me
This game sucks

Get Better….👎
How do you expect me to win a game if the other team has all 5 or 6 defense, and offense and i have like 4 or 5 offense but no defense at least one star of defense how do you expect someone to beat that team? this game needs to get better. How do you an expect a good team to go against another team if the other team has way more stars than your team. And also when i throw the football to my team far and the other teams gets it, and then when i am getting ready to throw the football it’s like 4 or atleast 3 players on my player but it’s one of me and 3 or 4 of them.? how are they supposed to get the ball man. Fix this game.
Trash slow speed why does it randomly go slow for like half the game then fast 🤦🏽
It sucks this game use to be fun but now it just makes me mad why does it do that fix ur game been doing it for almost 5 months now yes I updated it so ur rash excuses does nothing fix it
Moron
What kind of MORON thinks this is worth their time?
STOP TINKERING!
You keep downgrading the ratings of a Super Bowl winning team that you clearly hate! I was a player at a rate of 10x a day! Now I'm done with you!
Rigged
This game literally is giving me interceptions HERE AND THERE LEFT FROM RIGHT
Bad games do not play
I got a touchdown but It didn’t count for a touchdown and the ball went in the goal line
Credit Card info needed for Update?
Purchased RB years ago, i see theres an update available, but instead of the update, apple wants a credit card. Why? If i want to purchase something, i’ll use a c.c. but for an update?
I need help
It will not let me in the game.
I use an IPod touch and I only wanted this and the retro hoops game. But it will not let me in either. Please help
Ratings will go up if I get help

Annoying
Yes the game is fun in general but the sim bot ruins the whole game and gives the other teams free touchdowns. I think the bot should atleast be more realistic. The second thing is why do my good players always have to get injured for no reason? Like right as I have a good team yall injure my best player.
Needs defense
I would rate it higher but there’s to many interceptions and that there is no defense I would rate it 5 star but again to many interceptions and no defence
I hate that it says it supports iOS 12 but it crashes
It’s annoying pls at least change the iOS update for it I fell for it as I got nothing but the app there on my screen pls change that
Why are 6-10 teams dominating the playoffs??
I’m so tired of going through 4 playoff games playing against 4-13 teams with 2 starts who somehow won their division. Why are the beating the 14-3 teams??
Boring
Don’t even actually do anything
