While the college football season has wrapped up, Wolverine Studios wants to keep the good times rolling with its newest release, Draft Day Sports: College Football 2022. Although still in early access, the version I played is extremely close to its final release date, so let’s get into the Draft Day Sports: College Football 2022 review.
Back in 2014 before I went to attend The Restaurant School in Philadelphia, I bought myself a PlayStation Vita off of Craigslist with my sole purpose of playing a new skateboarding game created by a small indie developer titled OlliOlli. It was a simplistic game with relatively easy controls to learn (hard to master), but its premise was perfect. It was a two-dimensional side scroller that I needed in my gaming life to fill the void left in my heart after Tony Hawk and Skate went bye bye. The game speed was Sonic the Hedgehog fast, and its unique visuals left a lasting impression on me. Or, at least it made me go out of my way to buy a system.
If you were like me, then Retro Bowl came out of nowhere back in January 2020. It grabbed me with its addictive and simple gameplay, and was almost impossible to stop playing for hours at a time. A game that was initially released on mobile platforms, it stole the hearts and of both current gamers and old-heads like myself, and found critical acclaim from just about anyone who found time to play it. Retro Bowl on Switch is now a thing, so how has the transition to a console gone?
As I have noted and demonstrated a handful of times in the past in our own Super Bowl simulation previews, the trouble with trying to tell how the big game will play out using simulations is that just one simulation is not really enough to get the best possible grasp on all of the ways it could go. That’s why the better idea that we’ve tried out before to “scientifically” analyze the outcome and which players are most likely to have standout performances is to increase the sample size of these simulations. By simulating the game 10 times instead of just the one, we have a greater likelihood of determining what scenarios are more probable on Sunday and whether the 24-21 official prediction was perhaps more of an outlier.
