Draft Day Sports: College Football 2020

Even though I think "Bowl Bound" is a better game, this is a little more stable (only 2 crashes so far, and no progress lost). It is also too expensive IMO and in need of more fine-tuning. Having said that, I do like it. It takes quite a bit of tedious micro-managing, and it can get annoying. Your best players will get hurt. A lot. But if you treat it like real life bad luck, it just adds to the challenge. Here's an example of what makes you want to rage-quit: You absolutely luck out and recruit a 4 star QB for your struggling team. Game 2 he breaks his arm. If you kept your cool during recruiting, maybe you got a 2 star QB who only excels in 1 trait-- high competitiveness. So he comes in and plays over his head until your star comes back. I made the second part up, but it's why I like this game. If you pay attention, you can get some satisfaction. And if you don't want to work that hard, you can cheat a little. The game allows you to create your own walk-ons, and you can stat them any way you want. Also, for some reason, every year great recruits get passed by. If you look through the list you can sign a bunch of ringers just because no one else offered them a scholarship. I don't think it's great game, but it scratches the itch (I love the college game). I just want to add a note about the biggest weakness-- training. I have yet to figure out how to improve players' skills. Some players get a little better, but these are kids, and you would expect them to grow or get smarter in 4 years, but mostly they don't. Still fun, though. Just don't expect too much.

GOOD GAME.
