The replay graphics need work - they are really basic X & O type represenations, and the UI is great in places, not so great in others, but overall DDS CF19 does a good job of letting you design and call plays and simulate recruiting and a college football season, so thunbs up for me with plenty of room for improvement in future versions.
If you enjoy the behinds the scenes aspect of running a football team this does the trick. Not perfect but does the job.
I love that someone is attempting to create these types of games, but the UI and functionality in this is brutal. I was hoping for a slightly souped up, football version of MyBasketballGM, which is a free web based game but these folks should take a page out of their book. Simplifying and streamlining the core mechanics would go a long way and I'll keep an eye on future versions hoping for improvements
I can simulate a season in about 2 1/2 hours, about half the time for a season of college basketball so I like that a lot. Give it 8.5 out of 10 scale.
EA...please bring back college football.
There isn't a tutorial of any kind. No way of seeing if your changes have effects, and recruiting seems to be based only on reputation and nothing else. I've played excellent sims before, but this one isn't one of them. Save your money, don't buy this.
Football Manager but for college football. every year it's a little better.
If you're a college football fan, and more specifically a fan of sport management/simulation games (in a similar vein to that of football manager) then you probably know by now that your options are limited.
DDS: College Football has a surprising amount of intricacy to the game simulations, it is just a shame that no real tutorial exists in game or online to clearly explain the importance of attributes per position, player type per strategy, etc. This means a lot of the game is left to guess work, and whilst it is rewarding once you do crack the ideal strategy, it is still almost impossible to put your finger explicitly on why it has worked.
The recruiting system is sufficient, but very cluttered. If the menu/layout was streamlined to reduce the amount of on-screen text then it would resolve most of the navigation problems of recruiting.
The ability to see the plays in DDS is one of the game's primary selling points, and adds a little more visual realism to the simulation. Whilst the play's called are often represented to their likeness accurately, the pitch does has occasional clipping issues where the yards visually gained on the pitch, are two or three yards less than were actually achieved.
There are several more minor criticisms, one being that the game does have an ability to crash at incredible frequencies (you learn to save your game AFTER EVERY game/recruiting session/time advance). It is important, however, to view DDS as a standalone college-sports sim, and not compare it to a mega title like Football Manager which has vastly superior resources/experience behind its dev team. For what it is, DDS College Football is a very playable title with solid game simulation mechanics (after all, this is the bread and butter of such games). The ability to apply the real world college teams/logos to the games through a mod on the Wolverine forums, further enhances the realism and enjoyment. Overall, its a solid game that will hopefully only improve in further installments under the responsive devs at Wolverine; also, I'm not sure there is any other game out there that would let me win Offensive Player of the Year whilst using an Akron running back.
I really want to give this game a good ranking because it really is good. That said, there are a few things that make me a bit frustrated.
1. It feels like you are set up to lose. You might be winning by quite a bit or generally be playing great football but at some point things fall apart and no matter how good or how bad the other team is you suddenly cant do anything right, the other teams players are unrealistically fast and they can overcome any deficit. It isnt realistic to have that happen so often.
2. Ive been playing this game, the previous one, and the pro football one and I have never seen the ball get thrown to the other team when there wasnt a player from my team anywhere close to him. Im not just mad because its frustrating to lose. Ive waited a couple years to say anything.
Again, this is one of the better sims out there but its ruined by these issues. I dont want to hear the challenging reasoning because there is a difference between challenging and rediculous.
Lots of fun if you like football games. Gets down to the little details. Prove to the world that you can run a football team better than that old coach.....
Updated review:
TLDR; trash. turn back now.
I still can't recommend this game after a few hundred hours poking around with it. I've learned how to dodge some of the issues, but the game is truly fundamentally broken. Here's the rundown...
1. Game simulator
* The game sim which lets you coach your team is really terribly designed, and intensely frustrating. You can make a custom playbook, but guess what? You have to choose the playbook, then the formation, then the play if you want to do use it. You have to do this on every. single. play. This is a common theme for this game, the interface is TERRIBLE. It's as if they tried to make it as annoying as possible.
* The players are absolutely idiots. Complete a pass, and expect that teammate next to you to throw a block? Nope. Call a play to the slot and the slot isn't covered before or after the snap ... throw it to the guy that's double covered! I tried this stuff out with 100 intelligence, and it makes no difference.
* Can punt returns even happen while watching the sim? Again, I've tried changing all of the stats, and 99/100 times there's no punt return or a loss of yards. Similarly, it seems like the computer has 40 yd kick returns like 50% of the time ... you can't even set who's on special teams other than the kickers... wtf?
* The one good thing about the game coaching is that I've not had the game crash while calling plays. Yes, that's considered a positive for this unstable piece of trash.
* Can't sub people without the crappy "packages" thing, and even then you can't choose whether the starters are in. WTF?! Am I the coach of this goddamned team or not?!
2. Recruiting
* Absolutely no personality here. You assign points to your targets, and their interest seems determined overwhelmingly by school prestige. Yea, yea, there's a list of interests, but they can mostly be ignored.
* Auto-recruiting seems to randomly get turned back on. I feel like this has to be user error, but it's hard to give a game this buggy the benefit of doubt. I've had to restart seasons because I didn't realize for a few weeks that the stupid ass computer decided that it wasn't going to auto recruit the guys I selected, but instead is going to go out and sign a few punters. Thanks, Obama!
* It's die roll driven. You can save scum and figure this out pretty quickly ... you get your guy up to the 90's in interest (largely based on prestige), and then you hope you win the die roll against the 4 other teams that got into the 90's. Can we at least get some kind of mini game that will let a good recruiter pull off a big get without cheating my prestige up to 80+?
* Speaking of prestige ... gotta love winning 3 titles in a row and getting jack shit in prestige for it. Totally makes sense.
3. Coaching/Strategy settings/Creation/Training
* Why have sliders for what your guys are going to call if it's being ignored? I set it to 100% pass in every situation, and because my coach runs a power offence, we're still running most plays. What the fuck?
* So, you can make your coach and customize all of their attributes, but you can't choose their offensive and defensive schemes? You just have to remake your guy over and over until you randomly get what you want? Who thought this up? Fire them.
* So, you can make yourself as a recruit ... cool, but you can't choose where the recruit it from? Great ... glad I made playing close to home important!
* Want to test how "Clutch QB" impacts stats? Good luck, you can't create or change that ... no way to A/B test it. So they don't tell you what these things do (should be obvious they say in the forums ... lol) and there's no good way to test it.
* Trying to pad stats for your guys to win awards? Too bad, the CPU thinks your QB doesn't need to play more than 2 quarters because you're up by 17 ... derp.
* Training is fucking trash. It's a totally opaque system that might as well be just open die rolls for random attributes. It's as if coaches don't know how to train guys for specific attributes... let's do positional training so that my DT can gain 1 point of intelligence over 3 years!
4. Instability throughout
* This game crashes randomly and constantly
* There are insanely stupid crashes ... loading a game? Don't click anywhere on the interface or you'll crash the fucker.
So, this game really is bad in every phase. Why would these guys release something this buggy every year? I mean ... wtf? Just focus on one game until you've got something actually playable or fun (god forbid you do both). Releasing a new game across multiple leagues/sports every year is borderline scamming people... that's how bad this studio's products are. Do NOT waste your money on ANY of their games until they figure this crap out (doubtful it'll ever happen ... no one with good sense would have release this crap in the first place).
2/10 ... participation prize, only.
Im a huge sim fan and a friend told me about the basketball series that lets you export draft classes from the college version to the pro version. This offers the same not to mention a great recruiting system unlike Bowl Bound and a pretty detailed menu layout also. Heavily enjoying so far.
Buggy and overpriced. Avoid.
