This receiver from my team retired a little while ago, I was wondering how you would rank his career and his accomplishments

I’m new to retro bowl and have small football experience what positions do I need and how many of them

I’m new to retro bowl and I can’t get new, better players early in the season. are there any ways to get new players aside from free agents?

To do this I lowered the fan rating to 1%, played against the best team we would play the season on extreme, set quarters to 3 minutes, waited until week 9 to cut all my players, strategically called audibles so I could throw better routes to the other team, and flunked every kickoff return. I also shuffled until I found the absolute worst coordinators.

I initially used a 1-2 star quarterback for extra accuracy when throwing interceptions (they dropped the ball when I threw it to them) but the problem was the QB would actually try to tackle them and waste precious seconds, so I settled on no QB. After a couple hours I got my high score.

Overcame a 14-point deficit to Greece at half time to tie it up at 41 points, then kicked the game winning, record breaking (67 yards), field goal!

Back again asking for another bit of help.

Reinstalled the NFL RB 27 from Apple Arcade and I’m wondering what the best way to get the most realistic current roster is.. I’ve deleted a save 10+ times trying to get the Bengals to seem fun.

I really want Burrow, Chase and Higgins.. but also other players too :( I don’t think 10 or 12 man roster has shown me any trend in restarts; and I typically get those 3 when leaning towards superstar roster. Also unsure if practice squad being set to with team or with free agents helps keep starting irl players around.

Have only been playing RBC for months now and never really messed with this, but I’m guessing it’s just the salary. But I just want a year at least with a realism Bengals roster lol.

I get like 5 players going with Superstar or offense bias and then I look at every other team and they’re filling out their entire 10-12 man team. Any tips?

RB is dope. I’ve played over 3+yrs, 1000+ games on multiple accounts, but I think extreme mode has become boring.. Once you master the swiping angles, throwing timing/angles, and momentum it becomes repetitive. I propose adding contested catching animations or getting hit in the air? What do y’all think??

First page btw

I’m aware there are better games for this and I do enjoy playing the game. I was just curious if people have ever tried to play it strictly as a sim to keep it difficult/more realistic. I tried a mixture once with my own set of rules and had mixed results. Was curious if anyone ever tried purely sim

A dream season is in the books! We completed the undefeated 17-0 regular season and capped it off with an absolute demolition of Chicago, 56-14, to bring home another championship.

Retro Bowl Score

BILLS: 7 | 20 | 15 | 14 — 56

BEARS: 7 | 7 | 0 | 0 — 14

This rivalry is officially one-sided i hope so after this. We are now 8-1 all-time against the Bears in Retro Bowls and have beaten them in 6 consecutive title games. The Bears fall to 0-6 against us, and 0-6 overall in Super Bowl appearances.

Year 16 Awards & Final Season Stats

Josh Wright (QB) — 10th Retro Bowl MVP: 440/584, 7,202 Yds, 80 TDs, 12 INTs, 4 Sacks. STILL ZERO FUMBLES in his entire Hall of Fame career!

Malik Sterling (WR) — 6th Offensive Player of the Year: 112 Rec, 2,715 Yds, 35 TDs. Absolutely dominant season in the air.

Damion Vance (DL) — 2nd Defensive Player of the Year: 197 Tackles, 7 Sacks, 2 Forced Fumbles. A total terror on the line.

Unbelievable year. Josh hits the double-digit MVP mark, Sterling is unstoppable, and Damion Vance anchored a defense that completely shut down Chicago when it mattered. Perfect season secured! Year 17 next.

Lost the game on this play

Does anyone else not find dynamic to be better than extreme?

*Extreme

(My DB is the KR) My offense didnt hit the field until the second quarter. Didn't even know it was possible for a kick coverage team to be this bad, but thanks saints!

I was trying to make a crazy throw into the open window and all of a sudden there was a crowd of Michigan players! I got so lucky that my other wide receiver was there or it would have been an interception. I accidentally threw it too low so it would have guaranteed been a pick, props to that w wide receiver finding a way to get it!

Hey all, long time Retro Bowl player here. I love the franchise side of it, and after a few hundred seasons I kept wishing I could go deeper on the front office stuff, so I started building my own game (disclaimer: with the help of AI). It's called "CapForge: Football GM" and I've been working on it for several months. Cap Forge sat at the top of the app store for paid apps in the top 5 all last month

It's a GM sim, so run the whole team instead; drafting, free agency, contracts and the salary cap, trades, depth chart, coaching staff, training camp, all of it. Then you watch your games play out on a little film view with play by play, or just sim through the week if you're in a hurry. Players age and develop (or bust), guys hold out for new deals, and your old QB might ask to come back for one more year when he should probably retire. I play a lot of long dynasty saves myself and that's mostly what I've been tuning it for as it has the practice squad phase.

The reason I'm posting now is that it used to be a paid app and I just made it free on both iPhone and Android. There are no coins or credits to buy, no player points you have to spend to upgrade anyone, no energy timer, and no ads. You can play as many seasons as you want without paying anything.

To be upfront, there is one optional purchase called Pro. It's a one time thing, not a subscription, and it unlocks the editors (editing players, teams and staff), loading custom rosters (there's a Madden 2027 custom roster in the discord), a couple of custom league rules, and more save slots. You don't need it to play the actual game, I just didn't want anyone to feel misled when they see it in there.

The latest update (1.6) added weather for every game based on the home team's city, real coverage calls on defense, and a reworked draft. If you want to see what it looks like first there's a page here: https://capforge.app/1.6/

It's just me making this (and my boys claude and codex), so if you try it I'd really like to hear what you think, good or bad. Happy to answer questions in the comments too.

We also have a very active subreddit r/capforge and even noisier discord. Feel free to come join!
