I haven't picked it up yet, but I will shortly. Right now, they're the only man in the arena in college sports sims and I'm happy to support them. They improve incrementally with each release.

Man, Windows only. This would have been the perfect distraction for the next couple weeks but I'm a Mac laptop guy. Sort it out Gary

Me too... take my money. I haven't picked it up yet but I will.. just getting deeper into the College football game.

I hope more people support Gary and WS and I'll do whatever I can to promote his games.

Eager to hear reviews.

Has a lot of potential. Getting back into text games after a long hiatus so the recruiting offseason has been a tough way to get started. I've been watching some Wolverine streams and the in season stuff looks great. Can't wait to make it there.

Gary definitely listens to the community and has made some changes to First Access which were good enough that I restarted my dynasty. Admitted I was only a few months in but it felt like a lot.

GM Games has a Discord chat which seems to be the most active place to discuss the game.

Can you edit players? I hate to lose and play these games to max out stats. Yeah, I know, its lame, but thats how I am.

If you go into the equivalent of commissioner mode, yes.

You can even use the same rating system as the NBA players and make a team full of players as good as professional LeBron but playing college ball.

I know it's the whole point of the game, but I would typically have the AI recruit for the first season so that I can get to the games and get to know my team . Then I focus on recruiting the next season. Kind of like a coach being hired on day 1 of the season, what you get is what you get, and then your job is to change it after that.

I agree that it is tough to get into a new game when you don't know your players, strength or weaknesses and have to spend all this time recruiting.

In hindsight this may have been better but my recruiting class turned out amazing so I'm glad I managed the whole process. I also feel like my mistakes will help me recruiting in year 2.
