As simple as the game may seem, there is a surprising amount of content available to coaches. If you want 🧜to win t🦄he Retro Bowl, be sure to follow these beginner tips and tricks.
Improve Your Facilities!
When you first join a team, its facilities are likely to be in shambles. These include the stadium, training facilities, and rehab facilities. Your primary focus should be to improve the training and rehab facilities first. Improving the training facility will help players gain experience faster, allowing you to build a better team. Meanwhile, enhancing the rehab facility helps players recover from injury. Injuries happen frequently in Retro Bowl, and you don't𝓀 want to have your star players🃏 out longer than they have to be.
Retro Bowl Rewards A West Coast Offense
If you're looking to succeed with a Smashmouth offense, well… it's not going to happen. Unless major changes happen to Retro Bowl, the running game should only be used in thir🃏d and short situations. Even then, passing is still a viable option.
When passing, don't be afraid 🐎to check dowܫn to the running back. Depending on the rating of the opponent's defense, you could frequently find that all your receivers are covered. This is particularly likely to happen if they are running a straight "Go" route. Players who run some variation of a slant can usually find an opening in a defense — if not, just pass it to the running back and pick up a few yards.
Go For The Two-Point Conversion When Possible
Attempting a t🍷wo-point conversion after you score a touchdown isn't usually advised. However, if your running back is running a "Bubble — that is, a route that heads towards the sideline before moving up field — you should keep the kicking team off the field. For some reason the defense has trouble stopping this play during conversions. After you score a touchdown, keep an eye on the field to see if your back will be running this route. If not, just go for one.
Manage All Your Resources Properly
There's a lot on your plate as a head coach, and it's important to manage all your resources properly. That includes player morale, player condition, salary cap, Co🧸aching Credits, and fans. As the season plays out, you'll be given the opportunity to make some small decisions that can impact your team for weeks to come. For example, you can choose to praise a player (and increase morale) or praise the fans (and increase the number of fans). Unfortunately, there isn't a steadfast rule as to what you should pick based for each situation.
Instead, keep an eye all your resources ♕and do your best to make sure nothing is ever running low. It's also beneficial to max💫 out your fans as quickly as possible, that way each win will grant you more Coaching Credits.
Retro Bowl is one of the best sports games available on mobile. It's incredibly easy to play but hides away a tremendous amount of strategy. Follow the𒊎 above tips and you'll be a winning coachജ in no time.
