College Football Coach: Career Edition v1.2.0 Released on the Play Store!

Several New Features added to v1.1.x of College Football Coach: Career Edition

        I released a big update yesterday after sitting down listening to music and having a free friday evening. I squashed several bugs that people posted such as various text errors, team highlighting and a game sim error (using the wrong playbook!) Mid-Season Player Progression This new feature lets players who have been playing either as a starter or a sub to increase some of their stats during the course of the season. At week 6, the progress is calculated and the new overall for players who have seen enough change in their abilities to push their overall up are displayed in both a pop-up and a new icon next to their name in the roster page for a couple weeks. UI Enhancements After the season is over, I had disabled many of the buttons. These are all re-enabled now. Roster Page: The roster page will now display your team's roster for getting ready for the draft. After graduation, your player's new ratings will be shown with a (+X) icon next to the overall ratin...

College Football Coach: Career Edition Official Release

https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=antdroid.cfbcoach After 6 months of development, I am finally going to release a stable version of College Football Coach: Career Edition. This has been a fun project that to learn Java & Android programming and to expand upon an already time-waster game, Football Coach by Achi Jones. I've luckily had a great resource of testers for this app via Reddit and my friends/family. It's gone through a lot of make overs and feature changes. I'm pretty happy with where it's at now. There is also an iOS fork of the original game in development by Aksay Easwaran (https://github.com/akeaswaran) that has some of this versions new elements in it, and is on the App Store. Anyway, here's high level list of the hundreds and thousands of new code I put into this project. Implemented Updates/Features: [General] Game Editor: Ability to edit team names, conference names, and coach names Career Mode: Start as a new hire coach and work you...

College Football Coach 2017: Available on GitHub

I've been working off GitHub source code of "Football Coach" lately and expanding upon it's great base. This is a free, no-ads, College Football GM sim game where you lead your college to glory by simming games, managing your roster and tactics, and recruiting the next generation of talent. The game was lacking a few things and probably due to fear of being pulled - but it did not have real teams nor conferences. It also was limited to 60 teams. I've taken those away, and added 100 real teams across 10 real conferences. There's still a limit to 10 teams per conference but I realigned it as best I could to reality with some of my own re-imaginations.  In addition, I expanded the names database by at least 100x what it used to be. I took the fictional names database of NCAA Football and dumped it in here, and then on-top of that, I took a current 2017 roster, and dumped all the first and last names in for good measure. Now try to get too many players with the sa...

Pro Football Coach / College Football Coach / College Hoops Coach Mods

I've been working on modifying the very fun, free mobile games: College Football Coach, Pro Football Coach and College Hoops Coach lately. The games are fun text GM sims but have fictional teams and leagues.  The Pro Football game does allow you to customize team names and rosters which I shared in a previous post my 2017 update. It still had fake league names though. A simple edit of the code fixes that. College Football Coach is actually open source on GitHub. I got the source code and have been playing around with it. I've so far modified it to include real conference names and teams. I would like to work on it some more if time permits. Finally, College Hoops coach is the most robust of the three. The team names are actually called out within a XML file and that was actually rather simple to change. There are some other items, I want to tweak, but I haven't gotten around to digging into the decompiled files yet as I don't quite understand smali yet.
