I've commented on the FB page and I'll bring my issues here. Since the last update the game has gotten suspect to play. I'm winning most of my games but things are not right. I have multiple teams so these issues are common occurrences. There are multiple fumbles a game inside my 25 giving my opponents an almost touchdown every time. When fumbles are not happening I'm getting 8, 10, 12 yard punts which also gives my opponents very short fields and almost sure touchdowns. Dropped my rating to 3.

If you enjoy text based sims, this is really good. As challenging as you want it to be and requires that you recruit well to advance. Good balance of strategy and tactics. Just one suggestion: Please allow players to decide how aggressive to be on 4th down and when. I hate seeing my team punt from around midfield when we are down big.

Is what it is. Decent little bare bones program builder with no decent pay options. I should add that I still play this game. As the gameplay is decent for what it is. I just can't get over that there's no 1 time payment option for perpetual season pass. An all time pass if you will. As it is now the season pass is grossly overpriced. Other than that can't really complain except for to maybe add some actual bonuses for scouts.
