3 stars: Good, but needs some polish. Team colors are at best slightly off and at worst completely wrong, for example Kansas state is blue. 12 man playoffs aren't in this, no redshirting or walkons. This just feels like the first game but with less management options and team designs that look like they were made by someone whos never watched college football before.
