Let's Talk About Retro Bowl's "Update"

retro bll and retro College finally have been updated after a long Hiatus from New Star games now is this update good is it bad is it mediocre we're going to be getting into that in this video so if you enjoy these types of videos be sure to leave a like let's get started so we're going to start with regular Retro Bowl first just because it is a much shorter sample size than the retriable college update and then we're going to be talking about what these updates look like in game and then we're also going to be giving some suggestions later on for what this game should add should continue to add in order to make me come back to and a lot of the player base come back to it cuz I think a lot of you guys share the same sentiment as me as this game is fun maybe not anymore just because it's very tedious and not because the gameplay itself is tedious if you played it enough like I have and a lot of others have it's very one not now there's a couple things that I would add that again we'll talk about later in the video that I think would be awesome that are not unrealistic I'm not talking about QB mode I'm not talking about anything crazy some simple stuff that could be added that would make the game a lot better that is already using assets that this game has whether it be retro bable to Retro bable college or vice versa so let's go ahead and get into the update notes overall for the 1.6.5 update for regular Retro Bowl starting off with the gameplay it says the opposition's defensive star players are now labeled and have unique attributes when playing against them in a roster enabled team in exhibition mode that sounds like a lot but it's pretty simple so basically when you're doing exhibition mode which I thought that update I thought that addition to the game as a whole was pretty underwhelming and I didn't think it was really necessary I do like the idea that you could play play with somebody next to you and you can say okay let me try on offense okay now it's your turn who can score the most points against the computer wins that's cool uh I don't see myself ever playing an exhibition mode against a computer because if that was the case I would just play a franchise like why would I why would I not want these you know stats and everything to accumulate over the season especially in regular retro book because you can simulate so if you really only want to play one game you could simulate 16 games and play the 17th but regardless of the fact basically if you have multiple saves you know for instance if you have one save where you're the Browns and you have another save where you're the Bears uh you could play against the computer and now when you're on defense you can see the initials for the players you're playing against they have a little star above them so for instance if I am the Browns and I'm playing against a Bears team that has a lot of linebackers a lot of DBS all of those players are going to have uh it says you know unique attributes I don't really know if that can be replicated in this game I don't really know if like maybe the quarterbacks stick to your receiver better but regardless of the fact it's pretty minute honestly I haven't really I've only tested out a little bit I've only played like two games with it but I don't really realize a huge difference in you know someone's coverage being super sticky if they have really high attributes but it says it's there so I guess you could give them some credit for that and then there's some bug fixes uh as well as updating the winners list for the Retro blll adding in the Kansas City Chiefs again that's not super relevant I'm not going to sit here and try to be negative throughout this because my channel has been created from retro B and posting retro content I want this game to do well if this is what they're giving us after however long it's been whatever bug fixes uh sacks counting as incompletions they fixed that and interceptions not counting in the end zone they fixed that for actually both games I want to say that must have just been like an actual coding thing for both games so that's really it they added the ability to see defensive star players for other teams you're playing against in the exhibition mode that's going to be it for me I'll catch you guys in the next one take it easy not really but that's literally it so moving on to retral college update the 0.9.5 update let's go ahead and look at the balancing first so changes in player interest in the admissions draft best players are going to be attracted to higher ranking schools the weaker players are attracted to medium ranking schools this makes a lot of sense obviously your four and five star players are not going to want to go to your Mississippi Valley State uh you know that makes sense to me I I actually did mention this in my previous update suggestions video just to make the recruiting seem more realistic and as you develop a program you're going to have more players wanting to come to your school that are more highly touted uh new positive study news stories possible for players with high GPA so now we're going to get rewarded for players having high GPA maybe that's going to boost their morale like maybe they make the Deans List and they get all excited and then it says a small chance of positive news stories for any player even with low GPA or morale basically they've just added this positive news story I don't know what this looks like in the actual dilemmas but that's cool more dilemas is always a good thing I've always talked about how dilemas are the backbone and just the Catalyst they tell the story of what your season is and you know when you have stuff in my Houston rebuild way back in the day a couple years ago where a guy's you know caught with a cheerleader and then he's posting derogatory comments on social media and you're like what the is going on this guy's an absolute absolute that's fun you know I like that so more story lines that's good also going to you know most of the time it says positively impact your team uh with high GPA and then it says a tiny increase to weekly GPA reduction so that is negative a increase in reduction I feel like GPA is already kind of uh they've tuned it before it's going to be more impactful for your team so you might have more players getting benched is that a good thing it's fine I mean I think that there should be more risk and reward uh college is like that the pros or not so getting into the gameplay and visuals I do like this quite a bit they've actually extended the hash marks out wider for college I'll put an overlay for the professional regular Retro Bowl what the field looks like and then what the new College one looks like I do like this you actually can be further out and you can work with that wide side of the field a lot more on some out routes you know different routes that will kind of cook a little bit more and then it gives you more time to swipe over make Jukes but I have noticed it's kind of weird some of the tight end routes that are stuck to the line of scrimmage that are kind of bunched up with the offensive line they will like run into the line so if your tight end is here and your offensive line is here the routes usually would kind of go out and up sometimes they go into the line it's kind of funky I don't really know why that's the case I don't really think moving the position of the line would change that but I have noticed in one play like I played one game and I had my offensive line getting ran into quite a bit by the Titan overall I like it it's it's it's good is it where they need to put their allocated resources and time assets no but is it fine yeah I I like it more than adding what regular retro bow did and just making your players that you're playing against have a star above them uh if they could add that to regular retro franchise mode you know when you're playing different games and make the team actually have fake rosters you can autogenerate rosters autogenerate them every single year for the entire teams so it feels like the league actually has a pulse you know make it feel like the league is actually real it has a bunch of real fake players we already talked about the bug fixes uh they fixed other things on the field very vague I don't really know what that means but they said they did and then the spike celebration now has consequences basically it's not a flag live in the game all it is is something some sort of you know dilemma after the game saying got an excessive celebration call and then his morale or whatever will be adjusted accordingly however you choose so is that cool yeah I like that that's pretty nice and then in the menus pregame screens now show the gamees names during the postseason instead of it saying postseason 3 four five it's going to say you know FBS Championship that's good I don't really know why it ever said all those things it should have just said the bll name accordingly season review now shows the scholarship fund entering the prodraft they just going to let you see where your money is sitting before the draft actually happens so I think that would tell you whether you should decide to let your players declare or not I think that's good you should know that ahead of time before you let somebody go even if you want them to flourish as a junior uh you can at least prepare for that and say hey actually stay back we're going to end up maxing out our funds so you leaving is not going to help us that's a good thing entries for the postseason schedule which happen after December you know into the postseason are going to be uh stamped for the next year and also players V which happens after December are now stamped for the next year that's everything that is we have been waiting for I don't even know how long I I I will look for the sake of this video I mean I'm sitting here making this video so I might as well we can see when retriable and retriable college had their most previous update there was um a layout adjustment for months ago interrupting Sim feature was added that's something that I don't even know if I ever talked about I think I did in one of my like rants on my last Vanderbilt video that's cool but it's not really much and then you get to 11 months ago so we are probably gearing up for some sort of big update for regular retro bow uniforms team strength that kind of stuff that they usually do every single year we'll look at retro college so their most previous update 3 months ago uh fix older version so that's nothing again 4 months ago introduced a way to continue playing on Career Mode there is nothing there five months ago there was balancing for the GPA bug fixes and balances um 7 months ago there's more fixes I don't really think there's ever been any true addition to the game since it's come out um in 9 months ago basically now let's give an overall grade before we get into some suggestions for what retral and retro College could do overall for the regular retro update I'm going to give it out of 10 a three no a two we're going to give it a two out of 10 that is right is it something yes does it make me believe that this game uh and new star games knows that they have a game that they should take care of yes is that almost worse in the fact that they realize and and remember that they have a game and then this is what roll out as an update yes that that almost makes it worse now hopefully I'm hoping and praying again I want this game to do well I want this game to flourish so hopefully they add a huge update before the regular season starts again they usually do that but it better not just be adjusting team strengths it better be like something serious I got some suggestions before we get into the retriable college uh update grade give us the ability to adjust individual players sleeves gloves shoe color it's very simple all you're doing is giving us the little guy that you see before you start every single game let me adjust the pixel color black white team color of this the arm the glove the foot maybe add a visor you know I don't really know something like that is it simple yes all you're doing is really changing the color of the pixels that are already existing and when you're in the game their arm is like a one by one pixel so all you'd be doing is changing it's very simple is that a lot no not really but I I would like that just for some customization boom you can say improve customization while you're at it take all four of the new pages from the faces in college retr bable and add them to regular retable you already have the faces it doesn't change anything besides literally selecting take it from College retriable move it over just take it and put it somewhere else that's two things that should be not difficult at all should be so simple and then as far as the actual content of retal bow have five people sit down in a room for 2 hours and come up with a 100 more dilemmas if you sat around and just said what do we have what could we add on improve the Dilemma library that would be great you have the interrupt Sim feature that's all well and good I think everything else besides adding like gameplay features but you probably have to get into like way more of the you know behind the scenes cing side this is very simple just make a couple different cosmetic adjustments you could improve more I've got videos I'll link them in the description to what this game can add but that's really it now getting over to the the mac daddy the real P resistance right now College Retro Bowl obviously they're not competing with NCAA 2025 but they need to realize that with all of the hype around that game after 10 years maybe you shall out a huge update what are we going to start with number one add simulation to college Retro Bowl you already have it in your base game it should not be hard why is this important because in order to progress season over season in college Retro Bowl I need to play every game and in order for that not to take 2 hours I have to play on one minute quarters and then the stats are completely skewed it's not fun let us simulate the game I do not know why that's so hard then I can rebuild and take a team get new freshman year over-year watch them progress contend they leave I get new players I switch schools and then it doesn't have to take 6 weeks to do this it could be in one two-hour sitting add simulation to college retr bow the customization stuff I mentioned for regular retr bow add that over there as well maybe add more faces since the faces are really not that hard to create you can just mix and match I see that's what they do a lot of faces are very similar they just change the hair change the eyebrows let us feel like you actually are adding more customization to the game add more dilemmas especially since it's College you can have so many Crazy Ones I mean there's literally crazy ones I've already seen make them wild make them fun this update if you want my grade for the college retro bow update it's uh a three out of 10 it's slightly better than the Retro Bol update but it's it's not good I mean I like the field thing is that a feature or is that something that they maybe should have just had in the game already maybe they should have thought about the fact that college is not the same as pro football overall I mean it's just it's kind of disheartening it's kind of frustrating you know I see that they have an update I get excited and then this is what it is it's not a matter of me wanting certain things before I play the game it's me saying if you add these things I'll enjoy the game and I want to play cuz to be honest with you the reason I post hoop land content and I don't post retable content anymore more it's not because these things have to be in the game it's because these things seem tangible that if they were added I would want to play the game because at the end of the day I'm going to make videos on things I want to because this is what it is it's all for fun so anyway retro B update retriable College update very underwhelming I'm going to be making more content if you guys enjoy my videos you enjoy this video be sure to subscribe so you don't miss the next one and uh I will catch you in the next video
