Retro Bowl – The College Years
For years, fans of the wildly popular mobile football game Retro Bowl have been clamoring for the ability to take the simple, yet extremely addictive 8-bit gameplay to the collegiate level. Well, their wishes may soon be granted with the potential addition of a Retro Bowl college mode in an upcoming update.
Just imagine – instead of building a dynasty with a professional franchise, you could start from humble beginnings trying to turn around a perennially losing college program. You’d start by creating your coach, picking their alma mater, and diving into the deep recruiting game that is the lifeblood of any successful college football team.
Recruiting Trail
The recruiting element could be one of the most compelling parts of this collegiate mode. You’d have to identify the top high school prospects around the country based on their stats and recruit rating. However, things wouldn’t be as simple as just offering them and having them commit.
You’d need to build a rapport through repeated visits, pitches about playing time, promises of an elite strength and conditioning program, and selling the tradition and amenities your program can offer. The higher profile the recruit, the more schools you’d be competing against with their recruiting budgets.
But don’t worry, you could get creative with oversigning, greyshirting players for a semester to preserve roster spots, and even applying some subtle (or not so subtle) under-the-table benefits to sway recruits if you’re so inclined. After all, we all know what happens in that murky underworld of big-time college football recruiting.
Running Your Program
Once you’ve stocked your roster with the annually replenishing talent, it’s time to turn to running the program itself. You’d need to hire assistant coaches to call the offensive and defensive plays, guide workouts, mentor players, and recruit alongside you. The higher profile program you have, the more resources available for top-notch assistant hires.
Speaking of resources, you’d have to be mindful of program finances, attracting booster donations, coaching salary pools, facility upgrades, and more. All the things that go into building a national powerhouse in the landscape of college athletics. Will you take the easier path of least resistance and basically become a Nike/Adidas billboard to bring in funds? Or try to do things more purely?
Game Planning
When game days roll around, you could choose to micromanage every part of the game plan and playbook if you desired. Analyze your roster’s strengths/weaknesses, your upcoming opponent, and devise zone-based defensive schemes and air-based offensive tactics to try to expose matchup advantages. Maybe you’ve landed a star transfer running back, so you go run-heavy that season.
Or you could just rely on your assistant coaches’ advice, make any last-minute adjustments, then kick off and watch the 8-bit magic happen in all its retro glory! Either way, the gameday experience fans love would be intact.
Building a Dynasty
The ultimate goal would be becoming one of the elite college football bluebloods over the span of your coaching career. Can you start as a hot young coordinator taking over a G5 program and slowly build them into a powerhouse over 10+ seasons? If you do well enough, you may earn the opportunity to take over at one of the P5 dream jobs.
From there, it’s about consistently dominating recruiting battles, winning conference championships and bowl games, going undefeated for a national title run, cultivating an elite QB prospect into the first overall draft pick, and filling out your trophy case. All while cycling through eras of players becoming intimately intertwined with the culture you’ve built.
Post-Playing Career
Once your playing career days are over, you could have the opportunity to become a premiere broadcaster or celebrity alumni. Use your knowledge and experience to break down games from the TV booth each week or appear in commercials repping your iconic program’s brand. Maybe they’ll honor you with a stadium name or statue on campus immortalizing your legacy as one of college football’s greats. The possibilities are endless!
Future Potential
And this is just the start for a potential Retro Bowl college mode. Could we see NCAA-inspired marketing logos, marching bands, cheerleaders, crazy student section antics, or ESPN-affiliated broadcasters being incorporated in future updates? How about the ability to start your coaching career at the high school level a la Bill Belichick and work your way up the ranks? Or take things international with programs in Canada, Mexico, Europe, or Japan? Needless to say, Retro Bowl fans’ creative minds have been hard at work envisioning all the possibilities!
Fans have been daydreaming about a collegiate Retro Bowl experience for years, meticulously designing potential logos, uniforms, and gameplay features. Developers would be wise to capitalize on this ravenous interest, secure the necessary licensing rights, and work to bring this retro football fantasy to life. Just imagine the tidal wave of downloads and engagement that would follow!
Hurry up and await potential approval, Retro Bowl College Mode. Your competitors can’t hold a candle to what you’d bring to the pigskin world. Here’s to hoping those crimson and gray helmets and road grays become a retro reality sooner rather than later!Copy
