Franchise Football Reviews

I felt the need to update the rating- since the developers started working on the college football game, this game is ignored and it shows. Contacting support with issues results in a snarky reply with no resolution to anything. Interceptions are nearly impossible to get (think 1-2 per season for the entire team), yet goals to complete the level will regularly have 1 player needing 3-5. Everyone who plays the game continues to bring this up, but the devs have “concluded” that this is acceptable since the game needs a challenge. Improving the team accomplishes nothing - you will still lose to the same teams, no matter the medals, bonuses, training, plays applied. It’s clear the college game is getting all the attention and this game is being ignored. Stay away from this one until the devs actually spend time fixing what’s wrong and listening to their player base.

Pretty impressed with this years version of Franchise Football. Overall interface and UX improvements have made for easy menu navigation. The reason this doesn’t get 5 stars is the fact that waiting in this game completely takes away from a stellar experience. I’d prefer not to pay $7 for postseason advancements so now I find myself checking FranchiseFootball once or twice a day, going back to waiting, and so on. Once FranchiseFootball gets to a place where I can consistently play 2-3 times a day, it’ll become one of my favorite apps of all time.

Ok, this is a great game. I love how you can build your own team and call the plays. However, the waiting is not ok, once you finish the season and have no more fast forward tickets you have to wait around 15 hours to play in the playoffs, and in pro and exhibition games, once you run out of tickets you have to wait 1 hour and 30 minutes. This is ridiculous, but the game is still pretty good.

After playing the 2016 version for a week I was not overwhelmed, there were a lot of short comings. I thought it had potential but it was very frustrating. After too many frustrating lockups I decided to pull the plug and I found the 2017 version. What a great improvement! THIS is more like it. Still trying to figure things out since I can't find any documentation on how things work you have to learn by trial and error. That is my only complaint, you need some documentation ! The online help is crap but the game itself is addicting. Wish I could change my team name, I could be more original now that I plan to stuck around. Would be 5 stars if I knew how things work without doing it by the seat of my pants.

First of all FranchiseFootball is fun) it’s an improvement from the previous version with just a couple of flaws, flaw number 1 you need to be able to change your avatar the way you could change your helmet in the previous version. Flaw #2 fix the Facebook version of this so it actually works it currently comes up as CBS franchise baseball and has all of your players listed but nothing works. The 4 playbooks is definitely an improvement as it allows players to easily achieve challenges so you can advance. Can’t wait for the “showdown” to start working. The updates have all been pretty solid so far.

I love the game and can’t stop playing it on my down time. The only problem I run into and most mobile games since they are free run into is that to get the best possible team you either grind until you run out of the different energy sources, or you pay to win. Another problem is that since there aren’t like CBS 2020 and CBS 2019 games that are different, it just repeats the players helmets and players aren’t upgraded so someone like Martavis Bryant who has not been in the league because of drugs is still in this game and someone like Pat Mahomes and others don’t have the best cards in the game. But good game overall

Actual game play is the bottleneck. To be even remotely competitive it’s gonna cost you. It’s $6.99 to start playoffs or wait 1 day. Equipment upgrades are pure rng. Your exhibition games are limited and 80% of available opponents have better stats. Game doesn’t start until you get to level 50 or so. Don’t upgrade anyone until you get some solid champs or you just like the player. Use in game currency for better players, but don’t activate. Defense wins championships. This is a 5 min a day game.

This game is loads of fun and I really enjoy it, but I think if it were closer to NFL showdown from a couple years back, it would be better. In seasons mainly, you got paired in a league against real people and you had a GameTime and when it was that time, you were able to watch the game and see every play. The games would last 5-10 minutes and it was very good to see who did what and how the games played out. But all in all, this is a good game.

I really enjoy football simulation games, and this one is a very well made one. Although, there is a game that has the same logos, plays, and many of the graphics used in this game. It is called The Program for those curious. Other than that its super fun, and I am looking forward to any updated this may get!

This is my favorite and the best game App I have ever played. It’s basically a card collecting game sim football manager rolled into one with endless upgrades and cards to collect. It’s neat to add to your collection and play games with your players. I just enjoy playing and collecting. No money spent yet and no need as one can play a season a day, but I may put a few bucks in, in the future. Thanks CBS for this little gem of a game.

Been playing this game for quite a while now and I really enjoy it. Fantastic team building, actual strategy, and you don’t have to spend a bunch of money to enjoy the game. Most football games I’ve tried left something to be desired, but this one really checks all the boxes for me. A must play game for any football fan! Thanks guys, keep up the good work.

Excellent gameplay, it is a non play to win game, but the prices that they do have are ridiculously high for what you get, and thankfully there are no ads, except when you want to get a free booster pack, which some of them are really really helpful. However there is a slight problem. The simulation. Recently, one of my cornerbacks is somehow getting 12 sacks per season, while my linebackers and d ends are getting only 5-9 per season. I don’t know why this is, because all of my plays in my playbook are all cover three with no corner blitzes. It doesn’t really bother me all that much, but it is disappointing when your all time sack leader is a cornerback who averages 12 sacks per season, instead of my high overall Von Miller. Other than that, great game.

I like how you can open packs get hall of farm players and change your play book. The problem is that there isn’t much you can do. It takes me 15 minutes to do everything I can do in the game. Then I have to wait a full day to play again. I wish that there is a game mode where you don’t have to wait to play without spending money. Also make it so that you can change your name.

Normally I delete a game after a month or so but I've kept this for a while. At first it was annoying to have to wait 15 hours a season but it's good because it keeps me coming back for a few min a day. One suggestion: Have a daily reward because it is pretty hard to earn coins and cash and if you have no games you can't do anything. Also maybe have something where you can always play so again if you have no exhibitions or season games you can still do something.

Like I said, it’s not perfect but it’s fun none the less. You can design your teams “style” - throw a lot or run a lot. Blitz or play the run... it’s up to you! Almost all of the best players are here ... and to find the “Hall of Famers,” you have to play a few seasons - and you must achieve the goals set forth before the season starts as well. Yes, you must reach those season goals if you want to advance, but you CAN achieve them... and they aren’t all THAT difficult. How? Improve your players with training. Improve the quality of your plays, APPLY THEM CORRECTLY and you can advance... almost every time! At least give it a try ...and remember, you don’t HAVE to win to have fun - unless you do!

I’ve been playing and enjoying this game for awhile now. I like how you can choose to play the games or you can just build your team and equip your players the best you can and then just let the games auto play when you’re too busy to spend more time on it. It’s nice to continue advancing, even if slowly without more than a couple minutes effort each day, but also nice to spend more time in the game when you have time to spare.

This game is so fun you can create your own team is much more features one feature I don’t like about this game is that you can’t see the game or playing the game it’s just a randomizer and how good your team is but otherwise from that this game is awesome I pray every day for about three hours and I think anyone that would play football enjoy this game I love the overalls of every player summer unfair like really unfair because that’s what they really are in real life but otherwise from that this game is awesome

So many games out there are designed so that you have to pay to advance, but with this game, if you are dedicated daily, you can easily grind your way forward and have an enjoyable game experience. My only complaint with the game is once you get to the point where you are ready to create Ultimate Players, if you missed their Limited release, there is no way to get that card again, so you will never be able to make Ultimates of your favorite players. They need to create a Limited Direct buying option, like they did with Legend Direct.

This game is one of the most balanced NFL team-building games I’ve ever played. Once an addict to Madden Ultimate Team as a teenager, I enjoy the similar characteristics, the realistic football concepts, and the ability to compete against many thousands of other online players in a fair and balanced environment.

On top of that, over the 3ish years I’ve played this game, I’ve submitted a few problems to their IT team - which might be the most responsive IT team I have ever encountered.

Bravo all around, 11/10 recommend!

I like the game but can u add new players and update the stuff because it says players are on teams when they arent on that certain team anymore. It would be cool if we can watch the game instead of just a simple 10 seconds of score changes but thats far fetched. Add more packs with maybe more than 1 player for free to play players
