I remember playing retro bowl back when It first came out, there was no customization, only one save slot, etc. It’s cool to see how the game has come a long way since then
Yeah, back when you could only play 4 games in the free version, you only had 10 man rosters and that little change where just the helmet appeared instead of a player chile choosing th uniforms.
Man, I've been playing Retro Bowl since it came out. It's so good. On top of that, the developper actually cares about the game and continues to update it.
That moment when your player is caught in an bad altercation, and you consider to bench that player for a game for it(or even release him), only to realize you might lose without him in the lineup, was when I was like, "woah, this is a lot more immersive than almost every sports game I have ever played."
The PS2 era NCAA titles had similar mechanics, but unless you were a small school it didn’t hurt as bad on the field. Where it got you was in off-season recruiting if you got probation.
If you are a fan of Soccer (or football) and Retro Bowl, they also made a version called Retro Goal. It lets you play 10 games free before you have to purchase the full version, but it is as fun as retro bowl with the same depth.
Ngl (sorry to break the chain) I think Retro Goal is worse than Retro Bowl. Not as good plus you have to pay to play the full version unlike Retro Bowl where you can play as much as you please
@@platinumdiamond7 good sir, I do agree with this opinion. With retro bowl, you get as much depth and customization as retro goal. Plus if you decide to play 99 cents on retro bowl, you get to customize any team you want towards your desire even making your own fantasy league. In conclusion, Retro bowl happens to be the superior game
With the way mobile game development has progressed, all the games that have ads after every run, retro bowl has been a bright spot. Love the recognition and keep up the good work my guy
I agree! Retro Bowl is a blast to play and the strategic elements makes the game even more fun to return to. I agree it could use a defense mode and some multiplayer elements, but besides those flaws it's a dope game
As someone who's been playing RB since it dropped, I suggest for those that are starting to get bored playing RB to pursue leagues. RB players have created leagues for those that want to play competitively against each other
@@bangjoeofficial I got you, although the game is pretty fun, people got bored with it and someone decided that because there's no multiplayer mode, they decided to create leagues in which they could *technically* face each other
@@Kap_NYC yeah I am in year 14 won all my super bowls on extreme with 2 undefeated seasons. Getting pretty bored and glad they added the league links. Might join one.
I've been playing Retro Bowl for so long, I'm glad to finally see it getting the recognition it deserves. I've run an option offense in Seattle for 14 seasons, it's unquestionably the most fun I've had in a football game in years.
Dude, everything you said about this game is spot on. I used to play this everyday on my bus ride to work. I used to commentate every game in my head and I absolutely felt emotionally attached to my players lmao! It's the best mobile game of all time, no contest.
Ikr. I played both this game and Madden Mobile for awhile and it's pretty crazy how much more depth is in RB. Playing through a Retro Bowl season is so much more fun and satisfying than playing Season Mode on MM. On MM you can't even see the records of any other teams or track season stats at all. Total joke in comparison. Lol
I finally got around to playing this game and my goodness, I'm blown away by it's depth. I'm 2 seasons deep on my first day playing it and I'm amazed by how much every decision you make matters. It's like the lovechild of NFL 2k and Tecmo Bowl. It's great.
I get super attached to players. Had a reciever for 12 years won 4MVPs. Once he retired I drafted a reciever and immediately changed his name to star Jones
I recommend turning on 'Extreme' mode, and downgrading your defense. It makes it so you pretty much have to score every drive to win. Bonus, turn on 2 mins per quarter for realistic football scores.
I love how you two touched on the internal story you can make. That's honestly one of the biggest things I love, because it allows you to narrate your story yourself, rather than listening to the same Madden commentators repeat the same lines and names. You can give a reason within your game why you cut a player in his prime for another who may end up being a bust. You can "blame" some of your faults on your coordinators, and then hire new ones who were your former staff members from college, etc. I've had several moments that sound like they came from a movie, such as trading my young running back to Miami for an older guy to both free up space, and have him for the rest of his couple-year career to get the most out of him, only for the team I traded him to to beat me into and eventually with the Retro Bowl. A similar thing happened in another save where I left a team that I had built into a dynasty for a new upstart, and losing to that same team in the next Retro Bowl
Retro Bowl is the game that will change football gaming when more people play it... This game is a golden egg and the fact it's a nod to techno bowl and can still be that good... ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐
I started playing this weeks ago as I continued my quest for a mobile game that could keep be engaged and that I wouldn’t just uninstall after a few times of playing. I’m happy to say this game was the game I was looking for and glad this channel is shining more light on it!
This game played me to learn American football. As an Asian who knows nothing about the sport. This game seriously helped. Also made my Quarantine fun. And also I won Super Bowl with Jets lol. Biggest achievement.
I had a 72 year team and then it got deleted bc I switched from android to iPhone. I had broke literal Retro Bowl record boom records such as receiving yards. I had over 500,000 yards with Odell Beckham JR. Never bought any coaching credits
Some other things you may be interested in about gameplay wise. 1: Your star players wear different shoes from everyone else making it easier to identify them. 2: If your qb is hurt or doesn't have good stats your receivers will stop running routes making it harder to throw them open. This game is deep you just have to keep playing it, it's great!
I’m mad you uploaded this tonight , I have so much school work to do and I ended up wasting two hours taking the Detroit Lions to an unbeaten season and a super bowl win
My team was supposed to be resting and the QB kept them up instead and he got hurt for a game the following day. I was blown away by the immersion on a game I spent a buck on. This is the best football game I've played since 05 and tecmo before that. This is the best football game period and my brother introduced me to it and I want this from Madden and you can tell that the devs actually care about this.
I just found Retro Bowl a few weeks ago. Been playing it for hours a day. Good to be single. But yeah a multiplayer mode... it's perfect for that. You don't even need to play at the same time. Similar to Tap Sports Baseball, you do your offensive drive and when you're finished the person you're playing does theirs. I would love for this to happen.
I remember playing this game when it came out, I was looking for other football games on the App Store after I downloaded a fox sports game. It costs 0.99 for the full version which isn’t a lot, I used to rage a lot, but the more updates they added the better, it’s not like madden where if madden announces a update TH-camrs say it’s gonna be good, and the update changes nothing, I remember when they introduced audibles and timeouts, I was happy because it made the game more like real life. Retro bowl is probably the best football game so far in 2021. And I’m not gonna stop playing it!
It's been 4 months since you posted this video and it came across my feed. On season 17 now... On a phone I just got this month. Don't wanna talk about the save on my old phone. Thanks a ton for putting this out and bringing awareness to Jefe and Retro Bowl!
Ima not joking but my dad had no idea what retro bowl was for 2 years I showed him the basics and now he has a franchise that’s been 48 season long with a retro bowl title streak of 31
I downloaded this back in late January 2020, I started playing it again this week. Greatest football game to come out since NCAA Football 14. I'd rate it 11/10
I havent played a football game since Madden 04 and NFL Street 2. And apprently the pre-order window is dropping on Switch tomorrow. Definetly going to pick it up.
Making the game PVP, returning on kicks, some type of defense I don't know how they would do it but it would be nice, and the ability to add more teams and customize divisions would be UHMAZING
You probably won't see this, but last year I messaged you on Instagram telling you to check out this game. Although you never read it, I'm glad you got around to reviewing it.
The one thing I want is maybe a stats per season for your players so you can see their rookie season, ups and downs, etc., and an Award Race would be cool showing other team’s best players and how your players stack up. Also a quick nitpick is I wish their wasn’t so many ties it’s ugly looking at the standings and seeing 4+ teams in the league have a tie.
I started playing with more interest after watching this video. Now after 6months I’ve rewatched this video and appreciate how accurately it was described. Great review. Really great.
I made a full 32 team College Setup, with mostly accurate Uniforms and colors. Really cool and fun, and it has been a nice change of scenery with the new teams. Although, it was hard to suspend my disbelief when Illinois won the Retro Bowl over Iowa State.
I downloaded this game a few months ago, and I literally have a file with 27 years on it on my favorite team (Cards). Could you imagine playing Madden for fucking 27 seasons with 2 minute quarters, and only offense? I can barely make it through one. Props to the devs, this game's fun as hell
Retro bowl is doing better than a high budget EA games and its sad, you have a dev that cares about the game and are doing updates to improve it. if he adds like multiplayer and a way to play defense and a few additions it would be amazing. Retro bowl going in the right direction
I’ve played this game since it released and also got retro goal when that released too. I love the series and the devs do an amazing job. I really hope they continue making more sport games I’d love to see a retro baseball or retro hockey
Honestly, I've been noticing a trend with franchise style sports games lately. That 5 star ability/potential system is everywhere I've found. I think this game is someone attempting to make a football game with the same level of control and depth as say, OOTP Baseball or Franchise Hockey Manager. I really like that, ngl.
I've been playing about a year... I think I'm on season 22.... It's still fun and I don't see myself stopping anytime soon. NFL fans of all generations will enjoy it. Good review
I wouldn't say its the animations on madden, there are so many problems. First is a ragdoll doesn't belong in a football game. Second there aren't enough animations, it makes every player seem the same. Older madden games use to have that occasionally one hand grabs. I remember playing madden 08, losing to the ravens 1:37 left in the 4th ball on the 25. We were down 3. I was playing with my created team Houston Bulls. I throw it up to my main wr Johnson. I overthrew it a little but he goes up with one hand and comes down with it on the sideline with both feet in. Anyway they need more animations based off chance and style.
Sunday Rivals got a few updates, and it's even better than when you last made a video on it. WAY bigger playbooks, spectator & coach mode, and season awards being added really have made it my favorite football game to play, and I highly recommend it to anyone who is interested in an arcade-y PC football game with tons of customization
I just downloaded this, will upgrade tomorrow for $.99. I started by not choosing my favorite team (NYG) and I got hired as the NYJ coach on the last game of the season vs New England, Jets are 1-15 lol. It was noted that i was the head coach at Ohio St. This is so cool man. I will be connecting my PS4 controller as i saw Jejezah (hope i got that name right) using an Xbox controller via Bluetooth.
Make a Ufootballgm review, it is a franchise mode better than maddens on mobile. - Player progression is much more realistic, and is based on things like the scheme of your oc, as well as other expected things, and the game shows you the calculation. - Teams win if they’re good, not if they have the chiefs playbook - up to seven players/picks in a trade And much much more!
Started playing early 2020. Amazing to see how the community has rallied around this game. 7 million players since the last update. So fun to make a dynasty and actually CARE about your players and have intriguing storylines. You don’t even miss out on anything by not paying the $1. The dev works so hard to make a good game, and the discord server is so active. Been waiting for this one for a long time. So much better than madden.
Retro Bowl is fun but to me those saying it is "the best football game since (insert PS2 or PS3 era football game)" are making an apples and oranges comparison that doesn't hold up. I like Retro Bowl and recommend giving it a try, but it is doing something much simpler and completely different than Madden/NCAA/2K games were trying to do. If you really want to compare them directly, alot of deficiencies for Retro Bowl immediately become clear. In some very big ways, its not even as deep as the original Tecmo Bowl (no 2 player, no playing defense, no play calling, etc.).
Retro is god tier downloaded almost 2 years ago and I've never deleted it since and I even have a coach who made it to 50 plus years coaching with 43 super bowl win its fun

I agree with passing. You can actually chose the ball placement. If you throw a pick your mad at yourself not at the game
When you have a streaking receiver wide open downfield but you underthrow him is one of the most frustrating things I swear
@@maxmingo7392 I almost never underthrow receivers
@@jwhine ok
I still get mad at my receivers when the ball bonks off their head and the opposing safety gets an INT out of it.

I recommend turning on 'Extreme' mode, and downgrading your defense. It makes it so you pretty much have to score every drive to win. Bonus, turn on 2 mins per quarter for realistic football scores.

I havent played a football game since Madden 04 and NFL Street 2. And apprently the pre-order window is dropping on Switch tomorrow. Definetly going to pick it up.
Only thing I’d add to retro bowl is more animations, more faces and customize players, player drip, numbers, defense and being able to trade

I started by not choosing my favorite team (NYG) and I got hired as the NYJ coach on the last game of the season vs New England, Jets are 1-15 lol. It was noted that i was the head coach at Ohio St. This is so cool man. I will be connecting my PS4 controller as i saw Jejezah (hope i got that name right) using an Xbox controller via Bluetooth.
Make a Ufootballgm review, it is a franchise mode better than maddens on mobile.
- Player progression is much more realistic, and is based on things like the scheme of your oc, as well as other expected things, and the game shows you the calculation.
- Teams win if they’re good, not if they have the chiefs playbook
- up to seven players/picks in a trade
And much much more!
Thank the lord someone is talking about Retro Bowl, shit is so fun.
Started playing early 2020. Amazing to see how the community has rallied around this game. 7 million players since the last update. So fun to make a dynasty and actually CARE about your players and have intriguing storylines. You don’t even miss out on anything by not paying the $1. The dev works so hard to make a good game, and the discord server is so active. Been waiting for this one for a long time. So much better than madden.
Retro Bowl is great, but it's nothing compared to Ultimate Football GM
If someone could somehow make a game that merges the two (RB gameplay, GM management) Madden would be obliterated.
AYYYEEE RETRO BOWL AND MR ZHAI HIMSELF GREAT VID
I was waiting for you to do a retro bowl video
Retro Bowl is fun but to me those saying it is "the best football game since (insert PS2 or PS3 era football game)" are making an apples and oranges comparison that doesn't hold up. I like Retro Bowl and recommend giving it a try, but it is doing something much simpler and completely different than Madden/NCAA/2K games were trying to do. If you really want to compare them directly, alot of deficiencies for Retro Bowl immediately become clear. In some very big ways, its not even as deep as the original Tecmo Bowl (no 2 player, no playing defense, no play calling, etc.).
What's awesome is there leagues you can join and play with others!
Retro is god tier downloaded almost 2 years ago and I've never deleted it since and I even have a coach who made it to 50 plus years coaching with 43 super bowl win its fun
I've had retro bowl since 2018 and its consistently gotten better to the point that i dont even know how they can improve it
Took the Lions to the RB in my first season. Now onto season 2 as head coach Burt Handsome....hey Detroit...gimme a call.
