CTGames

I downloaded it today, really enjoying it so far. It could use a lot more explaining on how to do things and how to start out with your team. I went hogwild hoping I could start signing recruits and after I had made phone calls and sent out lit to my targets, there were no points left for visits. Kids were signing with other teams left and right and all I could do was have my team practice. I spent some time with the play editor too which is nice, but the stock plays leave a lot to be desired. None of the pass plays had any of the offensive linemen set to pass block. You have to click save after each update to a play or else the whole layout of the play is gone. Defensively, the plays have all your personnel listed but no orders for the defensive players, so you've got to go through each player and tell them to blitz, or play zone, or whatever. I did like being able to schedule future opponents.

Been looking for a college football game om the PC. CT Football Manager looks good as these types of games are rare in the UK.

Yeah this looks really good and seems to be fun, at least from the few minutes i've put into it!

Thanks for sharing! Very helpful

Had the same thing happen to me, couldn't understand what was happening, thank you

Thank you for the hard work

Thanks a lot for the hard work!

As someone who loves college sports, i'm very happy to see a good Free-To-Play ncaa football game!

Thank you, running it as administrator did the trick!

Please try to run the game as administrator since it is normally the issue for why it can't start

At the moment it is not possible, but we have added a task for this, so it might come in a future release

It's an excellent text-based computer football game btw ...

We have fixed both issuess for the next release, which most likely will be out in three weeks or something like that

Thanks for the reply. I like the game but its a bit buggy. Maybe its time to charge people to use it. For example I notice the special teams plays are gone if I edit the play book. Also the game hasn't been transferring my practice schemes to new recruits. When I add the schemes to their routine the game will crash. It would be worth paying $15 or $20 if the game didnt have these bugs. Great game, thanks for building it. 

Thanks for the input which we will look into when starting on the new release

Those are all some great inputs, and we will for sure try to implement as many as them as possible for the next release 🙂 

This game has a lot of great features. There are a few bugs, my special teams play disappears when I edit the Playbook. Starting a new game from inside a game causes a freeze. Here are my suggestions:
 
Game Guide. Another user here has a pretty decent walk through but specific details on how practices work, how the recruiting works, etc The play editor is buggy. Sometimes a back deep in the backfield wont be visible on the play editor More than just route options for the play editor. If I am creating zone I should be able to show zones, QB spy, key on flow etc. With this layout you can remove the options for zone, man and blitz and create unique plays. The same goes for offensive plays. It would be cool to put men in motion or have a hand off or option read. In game play calling. Add features like challenges, replays and double teams or having someone match up with one of their best players.  Stats for plays, so you can see how effective they are and in what situations they are effective.  Recruiting management. Could be computer assisted but still have simple inputs such as go after this recruit aggressively by allocating so many points to this recruit until they are signed or say no.  Assigning practice screens could have attributes to show what a player needs. Do they need weight lifting or track practice? Input on allocating funds for campus. Either on equipment, facilities, stadiums etc.  Fake play designs.  More random events. Usually in sim games its done via a newspaper function. Why change whats not broken. Maybe post game interviews etc.  You get a salary but what do you spend the money on?  I think this covers my initial assessment and suggestion. 

Thanks for it and we are aware that there are still bugs to fix. But we are working on it 🙂
Regarding your issue I have tested it a lot locally, and I can't recreate it, so have you tried to start a game without your created folders in it, and see if it is working?

It makes perfect sense! Thanks for the reply and help!

Just bought the game and love what I am seeing so far! Will pay full purchase price when project is done as I have been dying for an in-depth college game! Looking forward to the updates. 

Just bought the game today. Played FOF The College Years from the moment it was released. Progressed onto Bowl Bound where I stayed as it was the best all-around sim for college football. Now I am here as what I hope will become the best sim on the subject! Need to figure out the game as it currently is and look forward to MANY college coaching careers!

If you create a new training scheme and delete the Standard you get a message that all the players will be assigned to another scheme but that actually never happens(also recruits come with no training scheme assigned).
 
If a player is not assigned a training scheme and you press the Save button on the left, the game suddenly closes. I think an error message like "all players need to be assigned to a scheme" would be more fitting than the game crashing 😁.

At the end of the 2022 season my Senior QB requested a trade(despite playing every game, winning every game of the season, and this being his last season in college) and transferred to Alabama. I paid no attention to it knowing that he was going Pro. I got the Pro Draft notification and he went first overall. Next season I was surprised to see he got drafted 1st overall again, but this time with Alabama. Unfortunately I have no screenshot when the trade happened since I thought it was irrelevant.
Disclaimer: I'm European so my knowledge of how college football works is limited, but I think that once you go Pro you can't go back.

This is of course not a released devlog, since we just started the development of the next version 🙂

Really looking forward to diving into this game. Love simulation type games! Great work!
