Rival Stars College Football

It is an amazing game overall, but if your looking for somewhat realistic gameplay this isnt for you. If you go for a kick blitz on a feild goal (not pat) there is a chance you make them more likely to make it, that isnt realistic. And secondly this abosultely irritates me. On a kickoff, 30 second goes by, and the dude has ran 17-20 yards. It's so unrealistic. No kick returner in college that starts is that slow. Like if it was a combine it took him a full minute to run the 40

The game starts out, like many free apps, fun to play and you have a chance to compete. Once you hit Division III, it quickly swerves from free to play to pay to win. Impossible to upgrade 4 & 5 star players without spending hundreds of dollars for gold. It takes too many cards after 1 star to upgrade. You simply can't earn enough gold through gifts, season, etc. They got $13.99 from me. Don't make the same mistake.

The game is fun, engaging, and fairly competitive. I feel like it could use a bit more depth, something big and not heavily reliant on RWM, rather it should all be acquirable by excelling and progression. Not the biggest fan of the whole collect cards of same to lvl up base when there is a huge pool of cards to select from. It makes it force RWM purchasing with a huge unequivalent bonus for chance to price.

I like the game but there are a couple of big problems with it. First, it takes significant money to get anywhere serious with it. It's not like lots of games where you can play without money, it's just slower. You can't win this one without recruiting with gold, and winning is the only way to get the gold through play. No money = permanently bad team. Second, it disconnects you randomly during games, which is especially bad because the game designers decided that disconnect = forfeit. NOT FAIR.

Update 4.6.22: most recent update causes my game to crash when I hit the Recruit button. Been playing this for a while now, but recently been experiencing an issue when opening up the game. When I open the game, it will close out/force close itself upon tapping on the screen. Another instance of it closing by itself is when I select the "Recruit" and select the "Free" button; the app closes.

Finished the first season so far. Requires internet so that's a small downside but overall I'm having fun. You can create your own team and uniform. Gameplay has a little of a roulette component it seems but I've done well so far and you can vary how much risk you're willing to take for longer or shorter gains. If you want a football coach game I would say to give it a try.

Its a good game, it just needs ALOT of fixes. Like the play calling pie chart for example. In most cases long passes are almost never in your favor and improbable to happen due to the chart. Also why not make the players level up on their own through their own gameplay instead of having to wait to get tokens for it. And the time needs to be fixed on it. Plays take up way too much time and its frustrating. And those are just the main problems. I hope the devs can make these changes.

After having an opportunity to play this for several weeks I can only come to one conclusion. The devs have never played a game of football in their lives. Time seems to move as if you have twenty seconds total in the game. The concept of autoplay to just let the computer play for you is worthless. It picks the worst possible plays. The momentum shifts in an instant, one running play can take up half a quarter, even choosing the right defense everytime doesn't guarantee a loss of yards. I'm done

I actually enjoy the game a lot, but it has major stability issues that adversely affect the two PvP modes. The game crashes too frequently either 1) when you click the "Play" tab to choose a game mode (annoying, but doesn't affect gameplay), or 2) after you've chosen a Tournament or Knockout opponent, which consumes that entry but returns no completion reward. It's impossible to stay competitive in tournaments if you're burning the majority of your entries for nothing.

Great game. I only wish the playbook was larger and you could actually pick better defensive strategies. Run blitz. Pass blitz. Man coverage. Zone coverage. Etc. Should have the ability to substitute players. Make the time span more realistic. A pass play that is incomplete doesn't take 20+ seconds. Have the ability to change playbook strategy during play after all coaches adjust when something doesn't work. An offensive play should never have 10% success and 90% turnover. Make it realistic

Redone review after 2 months. My main problem is time. Kicking plays drain 30 seconds + instead of 4-8 sec., running plays up to 40, a 10 yard pass intercepted and returned 10 yards took almost a minute! Playing 5 min halves doesn't work if i can build a run heavy team and literally start the game with the ball and score on the same drive at the 2 minute warning in the 2nd quarter. Is a huge issue. Progression is pay to win once you get 3/4 star players. Takes weeks to upgrade team now.

This is a great game. Great animations and play style. Really gives you a feel for being an actual coach. One thing I would maybe like to see is maybe a tiny bit more yards an runs. I needed 2 yards on a play and I picked a 2.5 yard play, but it only gave me one yard. Also maybe if we could be able to jump in and actually play one or two plays like actually controlling the passes or running. Other than that a fantastic game would recommend it.

Decent game for a little while. I think it could've gotten 10 stars from me if it had been built like other rival stars games. I would like the option of throwing the ball to different receivers, choosing the gap to run the ball, choosing the gap to stop the run, etc. If you are taking recommendations for improving player base and overall quality, that would be a premise to invest in.

Game is fairly fun.. For a short time. Graphics and menu are visually appealing and intuitive, so it appeals to people of all ages. It would take several weeks to produce a reasonably good team, so I felt like the early stages are quite a bit of a grind to accumulate training points to level up guys, or currency to acquire new recruits. Biggest downfall is its just repetitive. The game is ultimately a probability wheel and loses its appeal after just a few hours. No skill involved.

Stunning game. Good drafting. Special skills are cool. Cutscenes are flat out amazing. Good strategy aspect. fully customizable team. Very nice. Problems include defensive TDs never happen, punt blocks don't exist, and at full morale with your opponent at zero morale, you throw one incomplete pass, you lose a quarter of yours, and your opponent gains it.

It's pretty fun building your squad and crafting playbooks to mesh with their strengths. I do have a couple complaints though. More of a cosmetic thing, but some plays are just miscatagorized. For some reason, a slant is classified as a running play. Also, some abilities that require activation are just on all the time - one being a CPU defensive skill that lowers your yards gained. Lastly, if I pay for a premium membership, it seems very odd that I still have to watch ads all the time.

Pretty clean game, nice style. It's not 100% what I'm looking for in a game unfortunately. The season games are played more like missions (levels), which isn't I enjoy with a game. The game does feel repetitive fairly quick. But if you aren't picky about that, this is a pretty solid game and they did a good job on it. Oh and no forced ads by what I've seen.
