Seriously Addicting
Tue Jul 21 2026 JWCozbyFinally a football sim that nails the GM side. Scouting the draft, running my depth chart, and game play are really well done. The player management goes deep enough to feel real without being overly complicated. I haven’t been able to put it down. If you love franchise mode in Madden but wish it were the whole game, this is it. Highly recommend.
Half-baked attempt at filling a hole in the market
Sat Aug 01 2026 Gibviking32Unfortunately, this looks like an AI-slop, vibe-coded mess. There are only starters for a player pool so there’s no depth to trade from or for (which I assume is because NFL stats were run though an AI for “ratings” and it can’t guess at ratings for players without stats). Weekly goals are random with no control over reaching them which leads to a cycle of winning and earning scouting points or losing and struggling to keep up. There also isn’t any way in-game to see what is happening or what happened. There aren’t even 4 downs, you’ll regularly see one play and then a random punt. There are clear logic issues where Makai Lemonn (sic) was a free agent despite just being drafted. Free agents are effectively a single blind bid, so if you don’t win them, there aren’t any backup players to replace holes in a roster because of the lack of player pool. Just go buy Retro Bowl
Awesome app but keeps crashing
Wed Sep 09 2026 Cmalone071I’m seriously addicted to this app and have played through almost 20 seasons in one franchise but the last couple days, I would play through my current season and the app crashes and goes back to the home screen and has completely reset my current season. I played through the entire season once only to get to the draft and have the game reset all the way back to week 1 of the season I just played. I’ve now tried to finish this season 4 times but have been met with the same crash each time. I’m trying to not get frustrated because this app is exactly what I was looking for but I would seriously appreciate a patch to this glitch!
Best NFL Simulator Ever
Fri Jul 24 2026 BusterP28SFEasily one of the most immersive sports simulation games I’ve played. It captures the experience of running a professional football franchise remarkably well, with meaningful decisions and impressive depth throughout. The attention to detail is exceptional, and it’s clear the developers invested a great deal of care into creating an authentic management experience.
This app is a blast!
