Draft Day Sports: College Football 2023

After playing for about 5 hours as a Texas fan this is realistic. Lost to Kansas in my first season.

The sim is broken. How is it that I have top 10 recruiting classes each year yet can only win 5-6 games per year? I try pass heavy, run heavy, balanced schemes and building playbooks to my players strengths, yet my 92 overall (95 accuracy) QB barely completes 50% of his passes. I enjoy the recruiting and strategy side of the game, but the sim game option is either broken or just poorly written. Second game from the studio that I've bought (College Football 21) and I thought that one's sim was more realistic. It really feels like this game is going backwards

Its fun, but has some things that need fixing. Why does a team lose their opening game, and stay #1?

A fun game that has had lots of incremental improvements over the years, this is no different. Runs faster than previous years, has more features and is well worth your time if you're a fan of College Football. The recruiting 'mini game' within the game is really fun and also challenging, weighing up a lot of different choices and trying your best to read between the lines of the info you're given to find out who the best recruits for your program will be based on your own ambitions. I sort of wish you could create a coach and the be offered jobs akin to the College Basketball games but there are also a lot of things in this game that I think the College Basketball games could incorporate to make themselves better too. Worth your money at full price and for sure if it's on sale!

absolute donkey butt. DO NOT WASTE YOUR MONEY.

It's a lot of fun if you're the kind of person (like me) who enjoyed the EA NCAA football games only for the management and recruiting aspects, and maybe even the play calling, but didn't enjoy trying to actually manipulate the players. It's lacking a fair bit of polish, and the UI is occasionally cumbersome and it takes a LOT of clicking to get stuff done. Still, this is EXACTLY the kind of thing I personally want in my sports sim and I'm very happy to support this company.

Just isn't realistic. Every team I sim does crap. Why are 70+ teams loosing to 40-50 teams in sim over and over again?

While it is not a bad game, I feel as if it is lacking on quite a few areas, but most importantly, the lack of support for Mac devices. Their other games are available for Mac, but not this one.

does not start

As the only college sports games in town, Wolverine Studios does an admirable job of filling that niche, with both college football and basketball. And with EA's penchant for ruining every sports title they produce, it could be the best option we have for many years.
