I'm pretty sure in my review of the original Retro Bowl I talked about how outside of Madden one of my most formative football game memories was buying Techmo Bowl on virtual console for $5 and playing 100's of hours of it alone. And despite the graphics I would craft these narratives in my head about my team and the players and it made me so creative by letting my imagination run wild. Well this has that same magic. Upon starting my original thought was. Why do I need a college version of this game, I trust the dev's but why this. And I got it. The journey of getting a college team from the slums to D1 champions is exhilarating. I could go on about how when I became coach of Rutgers we had nothing but a solid 3 star WR and using all my scholarship recruitment fund I got a 5 star RB to anchor my team and lead us to an undefeated National Championship and how my team evolved year over year. And once we lost star players how the younger guys stepped up and made plays when they needed to and evolved. How I could HEAR the fans chanting for players meanwhile it was silent. My imagination ran wild just like it did when I was 10 playing Techmo Bowl. Something magical about this game.
