Tips and Tricks
Here are some helpful tips for succeeding in Retro Bowl:
- Passing is easier than running in most cases; build your offense around a top quarterback.
- Draft players to fit your offensive and defensive systems. Not all top-ranked players will fit your preferred style of play.
- Manage the salary cap. Don’t overpay for one or two star players at the expense of fielding a well-rounded roster.
- Watch out for injuries! Have decent backups ready at key positions in case starters get hurt.
