How to Edit Your Retro Bowl Save File on PC (No Tools Needed) - Retro Bowl

🧠 Why Edit Your Retro Bowl Save?

Retro Bowl is an incredibly fun football simulator with pixel-art charm, but sometimes you want a little more control:

  • Want more coaching credits?
  • Want to boost player stats or fix injuries?
  • Want to rename your team or add a legend like Tom Brady?

Luckily, if you’re playing Retro Bowl on your browser (like Poki or Kongregate), you can do all that by simply editing your save fileno tools, mods, or downloads needed.

🖥️ What You’ll Need

  • A PC or laptop
  • Google Chrome (or any browser with Developer Tools)
  • Your Retro Bowl browser save
  • Access to Base64 encode/decode tools

🔧 Step-by-Step Guide: How to Edit Retro Bowl Save File on PC

✅ Step 1: Open Retro Bowl in Your Browser

Visit the site where you play Retro Bowl — for example:

Let the game load completely.

✅ Step 2: Open Developer Tools

Press F12 or right-click anywhere and choose “Inspect”. Then:

  • Go to the “Application” tab
  • On the left panel, expand Local Storage
  • Click your Retro Bowl site URL

✅ Step 3: Locate Your Save Data

In the key-value list, search for something like:

retroBowlSaveSlot0

If you have multiple save slots, you’ll see retroBowlSaveSlot1, retroBowlSaveSlot2, etc.

✅ Step 4: Copy the Value

  • The value is a long string of letters and numbers
  • Copy the entire value — this is your Base64-encoded save data

✅ Step 6: Edit the Save Data

You can now make custom changes such as:

🔹 Increase Coaching Credits:

"credits": 999

🔹 Boost Player Stats:

"speed": 10,
"throwing": 10,
"strength": 9

🔹 Rename Your Team:

"teamName": "Dream Team"

🔹 Fix Morale & Condition:

"morale": 10,
"condition": 10

⚠️ Make sure you don’t break the JSON format. Avoid deleting commas or brackets unless you know what you’re doing.

✅ Step 7: Re-encode the Data

Go to https://www.base64encode.org:

  • Paste your edited JSON text
  • Click “Encode”
  • Copy the new Base64 string

✅ Step 8: Replace the Save Data

Back in your browser’s Local Storage:

  • Double-click the value for retroBowlSaveSlot0
  • Paste your new Base64 string over the old one
  • Hit Enter to save

✅ Step 9: Refresh the Game

Just refresh the page — your changes should now be live in-game!

🎉 Congrats! You’ve just edited your Retro Bowl save like a pro.
