“Continuous stat addiction. It never ends ... one more season”
“I have 220 hours played, and that will probably just keep going up. Pretty much it. Game is really inmersive and gets you with that "Just one more week" and before you know it its 3AM and three seasons have passed”

“One of the best sport simulation in steam. Need the Devs to keep updating the game since this has alot of potential to be if not the best simulation of football. Whether you want to play as a small team or a powerhouse,…”

“Good game. If you want to lose 4th quarter comebacks for no reason at all regularly, come play.”
“Very good management style college football game. All games are simulation style. You can pick the plays to be played and sub players in/out, but you don't actually run the plays itself so beware if you are looking for…”
“First of all, I L-O-V-E college football - like big-time - I watch many games every week during the season and post-season. 2nd, I am a long-time gamer. I own 50+ games on Steam. No stranger to PC games at all. This…”
