After further playing you have ruined the game. Every third pass is dropped by sure handed receivers. Every fifth pass is intercepted. 5 star Defense cant stop a legless blind man dressed in velcro.RB's and QB's couldn't run the ball if they had an armada of Patton Tanks. What the HELL did you do?!?!?! Luckily, as the first iteration of the game was great, I am confident you will fix this mess. Do it soon, I would like to play it again. Currently unplayable

Yeah, I have to echo what a lot of people are saying. The Interceptions have become comedic in their frequency The dropped balls should be seen once or twice a game, not once or twice a quarter. It has become impossible to run the ball. It was challenging before, now it is just a non factor. I also have an issue with the opposing team being able to do a pick6, but impossible for the Players team.

Defenders running at full speed across 2/3rds of the field without slowing down to tackle my WR with maxed running and stamina.

Interceptions on balls well past my receiver and over defenders heads. bobbling passes with maxed stats. Shit teams some how getting 3 TD in a row even with good defending. incredible amount of time spent actually not playing the game. A decent concept thats getting ruined by shit mechanics.

Needs an autoplay feature. having to play though an entire season with a shit team is a time consuming bullshit endeavor. i spend more time double clicking through plays than actually playing. And getting screwed over by the new crap mechanics makes it even less fun. just give me my couching coins and xp so i can trade this team quick for draft picks.

This new update has made the passing game all but unplayable. Every single somewhat contested catch is now an interception, my wide receivers bobble easy passes around a third of the time (even with maxed out catching stats), the new LB blitzing mechanics mean the backfield is immediately filled with defenders so there's no time to throw, and the nerfing of the sidestep mechanic means that yards after catch have basically disappeared. I'm glad the DBs aren't just body slamming all of my receivers anymore, but every other part of the passing game is way worse after this update, and these new problems are way worse than the pass interference was.

I agree with the recent posts- the interception rate is now kinda outrageous. Likewise, the side-step thing has made yards after catch or from scrimmage very very difficult.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
This game was super fun to play, but now that you can't move laterally it's impossible to run the ball or gain yards after a catch. Please go back to allowing quick lateral movements.

just to add to my previous comment. Now its like my running back cant possibly get more than 1 or 2 yards per carry, if that. For people who thought that the side stepping that was in place made it to easy to win, thats probably because thay have a really good offensive line. Well i have a good running but a bad offensive line which makes the game exciting and challenging and all my games are low scoring games. People dont have to use their running backs if they dont want to. They can still have their passing game. I have a bad QB and bad recievers and bad offensive line. I also have a good defense whichall ows me to get a stop every now and then. Bring back the side stepping, it was fine.

Wow, now i have to scratch this game and im not going to start over. THe one weapon that i had was my running back. But now the side stepping has been changed and i have no chance to beat any teams. I built up defense and my running back. Wish you could have left the side stepping alone for those of us who relied on our running backs. And even tho you fixed the pass interference wrestling matches , you also increased the chance of interceptions for the other team. So, its either get interfered with or intercepted all the time. I also think thata baseball version would be a gr8 idea. Ill keep on checking back for that. But, for now , ill be playing something. Not gonna start all over. Bring back the side stepping, its only fair for people who rely on their running backs.

It sounds weird but... I play this on 3 different computers, and it seems the difficulty level is different on each system. On one PC, its immeasurably hard - I have 4-5 star WR's and a good QB and their corners ALWAYS cover my WR's. On my phone, even the best team can't cover my corners. Its odd. I have like a 6-4 record on that game, but 9-1 or better on the rest after 2-3 years in the game. It also "feels" faster on my better PC with the worse records. Anyone having this issue?

If you could make a similar styled baseball team management game, I would be elated. This game is good, bought the app. Baseball version please?

kicker and RB XPs should be modified as kickers get too much and RBs get too little XP for their achievements in a particular match.

i see a lot of complaints up here on the message board. can the game be tweaked a little? sure, but that doesn't mean this wasn't a solid game from launch. i'm not even a sport game fan but given the whole team management aspect and the fact that you only play offense, this is easily 5 star game. very well done and i hope to see updates in the future

This is the greatest flash(whatevr) sports game. This could be something great please PLEASE WORK ON A SECOND BETTER GAME

So after playing the second season, whenever I try to turn it on, it wouldn' t load. Other than that, it's an enjoyable game. But I still can' t get in.
Could you press F12 then look under Application > Local Storage > https://game316009.konggames.com. Highlight the key RetroBowl.0.savedata.ini then copy the corresponding value and message it to me please. Thanks!

finally got the last achievement. It took me 3 seasons to train my running back for the 150 yards rushing (str 8 speed 10 stam 6 is what I did it with (catching is of course not relevant for this one) just make sure you have a half* defense with a low offense on the other team.
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
yea yea, pass interference. but one noticeable thing is making a diving catch and not being touched. the receiver is not considered down in pro football. make a diving catch and no one touches you, you're still live.

TE is the key to the game. Underneath routes. Speed and strength at the position. CIN& MIA seemed to be one of the best starting teams! Max out Fan, to help get more coins and great Free Agents! Loving the game!!!

5 star running back breaking tackles one season, now cant fight through any tackles the next. ????? 5 star WR being run down by DB 5 yards behind line of scrimmage. Physically impossible to get a hail mary but the CPU can do it...

This is a pretty cool game.
The salary cap is a pain, because you constantly need to re-boot your team. I guess it's like that in real life.
The game plays nicely and can be challenging until you have developed some good players.
I'm curious to see if there are any further versions and add-ons.
Pretty good job with this one.

I think this game would be well suited for a multiplayer version - not so much playing directly against other people, but playing a computer controlled version of somebody else's team. The person with the bigger margin of victory wins the matchup.

Rushing tips: basically just like in the real game - look for the gaps. Bouncing outsite works well as players get close. Also if you start one way go the other... So if you start a rush from the top of the screen, look to move close to the bottom quickly from the snap. Movement is the key

Don't listen to these fools! This game is great, and if you know how to look for receivers, pass interference isn't an issue. I love it!
Under rating threshold (hideshow)
The mobile version is amazing. Costs like $1 for the full game (not a sponsor). But as many has pointed out, the pass interference is a bit annoying. I would love to see an update where I have offensive options, where I can chose what plays to call. If I'm stressed for time, I cannot choose a hail Mary and go all Aaron Rodgers on the Lions. All in all, a lot of bang for your (literal) buck. Probably one of the best mobile games I've ever played for that price.

Played through 10+ seasons. As others have said, players enjoy having wrestling matches more than actually running their routes. O-line is non-existent even if you draft them. WRs also randomly decide to not run routes properly. Game inexplicably lags. Also expect your entire offense or defense to be randomly all out injured at the same time. "Game" is designed to cause rage.

Game decides before each week whether or not that week's game will be winnable. No amount of skilled play can win an 'unwinnable' match. Fun, engrossing, ultimately too flawed for long-term replay
