Nifty College Football Game on Android
I miss NCAA Football too, but there remains an option to play a "modern" college football video game.
Football Coach 2 is a simulation game where you can take your college football team through multiple seasons, recruiting, managing your team, and trying to win league and national championships. For those who played Solecismic's Front Office Football, it's in that style - it's a simulation game. There are no fancy graphics, but you can make general play calls, hire coaches, discipline players, send players to the draft, manage rosters, etc. However, it's only available on Android

It's quick to play, so you can take a team through an multiple seasons in one sitting. There are enough features to make it challenging and engaging. You can save and load multiple seasons, so you can take Michigan through many consecutive national titles or take a cellar dweller into national prominence. You can even import custom rosters to have actual players in the game.
I have no association with the developer. I am just sharing something that I think many of you will enjoy.

2006 is the best, imo.
Right before they started worrying too much about graphics and too little about gameplay. It was such a fast game back then.

dang it’s been 5 years already...and no reprieve in sight

What would I rate the players you say? I'm glad you asked.

I can't wait to load my team up with 5*'s!!!!

Thanks for the heads up. The 1st version of this game was not nearly as in-depth. I will try this one out.

I got a bit addicted to the first one and led Michigan through something like the 2055-2056 season with 35 or so National Championships. I probably shouldn't download this one...but you know what's about to happen.

Thanks for the heads up. I still miss NCAA 08 on PS2, I think those versions were way better than anything on the 360 or PS3.

NCAA 14 is by far the best one, but maybe because thats saldy the last one. The new maddens are awful and only focus on microtransactions which makes the game pay to win if you are into the ultimate team
August 13th, 2019 at 1:28 PM ^
That is the model for every EA Sports game. They've done a good job of neglecting all other modes besides ultimate team.

Am I the only one who thought this was going to be Michigan bypassing a gimmicky European football game, and deciding to play Air Force on an asteroid?
Yes, I am the only one? Also, I can't read? Okay, never mind then.

Rumor has it Warde is looking to schedule the Space Force in the future.

Ya our defense may have a hard time against the quadruple option offense

We must remain steadfast in our refusal to play these space opponents until the National Galactic Athletic Association enforces the rule that all alien teams must keep their tentacle eyes inside their helmets at all times. It's just too much of an advantage for them.

I built a MAME machine and really enjoy the old school arcade version Tecmo Bowl with the blue team vs. the red team. (Not the Bo Jackson sega version). I know it is possible to hack the files and redo the bit maps so that it could be Michigan vs. Ohio State. I've never found enough time, but someday I'm going to make it happen.

Can you give us a run-down of what all of your players are rated?

Is there an iOS app for the non-poors here?

I had one of the NFL Head Coach games for Xbox. I thought it was boring.
August 13th, 2019 at 2:54 PM ^
This is a really fun little game so far. Thanks for the tip!

I had an earlier version of this that was ok for a few hours. I'll try the update. I love sims more than arcade games.

I officially have taken American Samoa and made them into a powerhouse.

Thanks. It's far too addictive. I lost about half a day over the last 3 days.
