I have not been playing retro bowl well

I thought I had extreme difficulty retro bowl figured out. I was playing 3 games a day and winning sometimes 2 and occasionally 3 games a day.

And then about a week ago or maybe 2 weeks ago it all unraveled. On the slant or fly pattern the linebacker can jump up and intercept the ball. And that seems new to me.

And also I have not been taking care of the ball. I have been throwing interception after interception. The harder I try not to throw an interception it seems the more interceptions I throw.

And when I do have I drive I throw an interception in the end zone or my receiver fumbles.

I don’t know if I will ever win an extreme difficulty retro bowl game again. My last loss was 69-3. Ouch. I will keep trying to play better.

Today I played the new update of retro bowl

There is one new route that a receiver can run. The receiver runs straight ahead a little and then stops. So I suppose it might be a wide receiver screen but, its not.

I played on extreme and it seems that my defense had a lot more stops for field goals than usual. Either I drafted good or they made it so its harder for the computer to score.

Oh, my quarterback got injured. I tried a game without him and I lost 78-0. I wanted to see if I could score a touchdown without my quarterback however I could not. I threw a lot of interceptions in that game. Ouch.

I am getting better at retro bowl

At least sometimes I think I am. Today I played 2 games and one three of them. That would be amazing winning more games than I played. I meant to write I played 3 games and won 2.

I am pretty good at throwing to the tight end. And I am even trying to learn how to throw the streak to a wide receiver.

I am playing on 3 minute quarters now instead of 2 minute quarters on extreme difficulty.

I believe I started playing retro bowl in December of 2021. Back then there was no way I could won a game on extreme difficulty. For months I kept losing on extreme and now finally I am winning on a pretty regular basis.

Its so fun when my running back gets 10 or more yards.

When I get a lead I get conservative for fear I will throw an interception. I want to take more chances. Retro bowl is fun. And it doesn’t even have the latest graphics.
