Draft Day Sports: College Football 2018

This is dissapointing. I really enjoy DDS College Basketball and was hoping to jump into something with a similar style, but this game is in desperate need of a UX designer. There is no contextual help in the game. Not even rollovers. The recruiting isn't in depth at all. You assign a number of scouting points and recruiting points and move on. You have to select them from a dropdown 1 by 1 and even though the game will let you type the amount of points, it wont save it. I can't set my lineups and sim. If I want to set my lineups I have to sit through games that would take hours each. There isn't a list view of recruits like DDS CB, instead it's lists of cards with too much info. Who knows what 'hidden' means? You can't change recruiting difficulty and training was a total wash without instructions as to what I'm doing. Not sure if the developer is even working on this anymore. DDS CB was addicting, this is just annoying. Would not recommend spending money on this unless it was $5.

[h1]TL;DR[/h1] 3/10: A video game about (American) Football in which teams can successfully kick field goals from their own one yard line should tell the reader everything they need to know about this game's match engine. [h1]Overview[/h1] Are there any abandonware aficionados out there who remember the (American) Football coaching game [i]Super Sunday[/i]? The developer of [i]Draft Day Sports: College Football 2018[/i] hopes you don't, because [i]Super Sunday[/i] was made in 1986, could be played on computers with less that 256k of RAM, and still had a superior match engine to [i]Draft Day Sports: College Football 2018[/i]! In addition to on-field play calling, [i]Draft Day Sports: College Football 2018[/i] also involves managing an American College Football program with one of the many likenesses of real life schools. Training schedules for individual players can be set, and of course, scouting and recruiting next year's batch of players from (real life) high schools all across A...

I was looking for a more graphical version of Bowl Bound College Football and this fits the bill. It's just as much of a deep strategy planning game, with some more modern touches. After playing a few seasons I haven't had any major technical issues and everything seems to run well on Windows 10. If you're interested in this, I recommend watching a series of Youtube videos by Ragin Cajun. Also, on Wolverine Studio's website you can download a demo version to try before you buy. There is an active community at the dev's website, but I haven't seen so much as a single discussion here on Steam. I believe this is the first review here, too. I dragged my feet on buying this, not wanting to be the first one, but in the end I did and am happy with my purchase. It's not for everyone, but if you like Bowl Bound or similar sports management games you may want to check this out.

If you are a huge college football fan like I am this is a must own game. This is only the 2nd year it has been released so the developers are still working on things but are very active in listening to the community. There are mods so that every team's mascot is represented. I'm currently in an online dynasty and it is a lot of fun. You do not actually play the game like you would in NCAA Football that no longer exists. Rather it is more about strategy and every little thing matters. Each player has several personality traits as do the coaches. You have to set training schedules, playbooks, formations for certain down and distances. Also recruiting is extremely in depth. Each player has to be scouted to unlock their main interests that could be anything from distance, to how much you win, to how loyal your coaches, etc. It's not easy and there aren't a lot of guides out there to help you but the members of the community are very helpful. IMO it's a must have for any colleg...

I really enjoyed the game. It is similar to Bowl Bound but much better graphically and the player ratings make a lot more sense. I cannot recommend it though because it crashes. I get a unpacking error where I cannot load my current league. I have not been able to finish one whole season before this error occurs.

Buggy broken game. Waste of money.

Football Manager (Soccer) and OOTP Baseball but for College Football The game is by no means polished like the titles i listed but they release yearly versions that move the game further and further along. If you love simulation games and Love College Football, buy it.

I would stay away, I purchased this to see if I wanted to spend for the more expensive newer version, I will tell you I do not want that newer version. This was HORRIBLE for sim football, recruiting was a joke with their drop downs and no information, setting lineups sucked and didn't work, I attempted to coach the games. I started with one of the best in the game, and promptly started 1-5. I was up in every game by 14 or more points in the first half, the second half the other team, no matter how bad, couldn't be tackled and couldn't miss a tackle and none of my WR would catch a pass. I was up 35-0 in a game starting the second half with the ball. 3rd and 5 I call a shotgun pass, and the de is in the backfield before the snap even happens, gets the sack of course. Then same game mind you, now I am up 35-21 in the 3rd quarter and they have the ball with 2 minutes left. I call a nickel D on 3rd and 17 after a stop and sack pushing them back to the 40 from the 50 (roughly). The...

Very fun game if you love football sims. I wont recommend it because my game keeps crashing after finishing the first year. I dont know if others are having this problem but if they arent this game is great. Edit: Crash fixed itself so maybe it was an uncommon occurence. I'll recommend it but be patient if your game crashes and try and figure out what it was.
