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.
So now that I talked my shit, I 100% the blackcell version of the battlepass after swearing off buying this game. I played so much fucking MWII and when I played the beta for this I told myself "WOW this sucks no way I buy it." Until, some friends hopped back on Warzone and I unwillingly joined them and caught the grinding bug and promptly shelled out $100 for the Vault edition of the game so I could get the top battlepass and the XP boosts and all the other usless shit that I can justify as. "Well it saves me time grinding guns for Warzone." Which doens't even make sense in my case because I enjoy the MP so leveling guns isn't a grind I'm just more ashamed that I actually enjoy crafting cool Camo/Sticker/Decal gun combos, ala CS2, except here I'm not dropping $5k to have my dream combo. So yeah my brains broken but this is a way stronger warzone than WZ2. And all of the original maps added to this season are really cool, I love Meat PAUSE and can see it becoming an all time great COD map.
