NCAA Football was an American football video game series developed by EA Sports in which players control and compete against current Division I FBS college teams. The series is a younger brother to the Madden NFL series.
In July 2013, the NCAA announced that it would not renew its licensing contract with Electronic Arts because of an ongoing legal dispute regarding the use of player likenesses in the games. However, this contract only covers the use of the NCAA name and related logos, not those of individual schools and conferences, which are negotiated individually or through the Collegiate Licensing Company. The CLC concurrently announced that it would extend its existing licensing deal with EA through 2017, ensuring that EA Sports could continue the series without the NCAA branding. However, the series was placed on hiatus in September 2013, following three major conferences pulling their trademark licenses from EA, and uncertainties surrounding the results of lawsuits involving the use of player likenesses in-game. However, EA Sports is still making an attempt to get the series back going.
Players' real names and exact likenesses are not used in the game. While the Madden NFL series uses real player names and likenesses, those players are compensated for the use of their image. Due to NCAA restrictions on the amateur status of athletes, names are not allowed. Additionally, current college players cannot be used as cover athletes. Instead, each cover features a player whose college eligibility ended the season before the game's release, wearing his former college uniform. The only two exceptions have been the Wii version of NCAA Football 09, which featured Sparty, the mascot of Michigan State University, on the cover, and NCAA Football 06 when Desmond Howard was featured on the cover striking the Heisman Trophy pose during his career at Michigan, despite not playing for Michigan for more than 15 years.
Although EA Sports does not claim that the players in the game represent real life players, the jersey number, position, height, weight, home state, and ethnicity are aligned with the real players. Fans of any particular team are sure to recognize their favorite players (for example, in NCAA Football 2014, University of North Carolina Tar Heels QB #2 would correspond to QB Bryn Renner). Actual usage of a player's real name would be in violation of the NCAA's policy regarding student-athletes. Amateur "roster makers" will often manually associate player names and will upload a roster file to the built-in roster sharing system. As of the 09 release, EA has put in the EA Locker feature which allows remote roster sharing online through either Xbox Live or PlayStation Network depending on the conso

Madden sucked so bad that NCAA 14 was the only football game I played these past 11 years
-
Don’t send off ‘14 until you know ‘25 in a proper replacement.
-
I’m still keeping my copy of Ncaa14 and still gonna have my revamped version installed. Just in case 😂
-
This was the LAST great football game we had. It was all downhill from here
-
Thank You Ncaa 14 Welcome College Football 25
-
There is a retro game store in my area that had a copy of NCAA 14 for sale for $115. Wild.
-
NCAA 14 was about as good of a entry into the series as we've seen. I can rattle off issues with it, but they're all minor. When it came to playability it's up there with the best NCAA games that had ever been released. It was fitting that it was the swan song. Hopefully 25 will be a worthy replacement because the bar was set pretty high.
-
The Play by Play was done by Kirk Herbstreit & Brad Nessler. Not Chris Fowler.
-
A graduation speech is fitting here
-
A beautiful ode to a unique time period in gaming. Not sure we'll see something else like this exactly again.
-
Don't have a PS5, so I'll still be playing NCAA 13 & 14 on my PS3 ! as well as NCAA 03-09 on my PS2 !
-
Great video and thanks to all that put that work in to get us here..Thank you
-
Reminds me of all the mod teams that have kept Nascar Racing 2003 season alive for now 21 years. Constant track and car updates as well as tools keep the game going. Still the best Nascar game in that span which is kinda sad
-
Nice overview of the game's history! NCAA 14 will always have a special place. Also, WPS!!! - fellow Arkansan
-
I still will be using NCAA 14 since you can't fully edit rosters. Decided to bring back the full 2013 rosters to all the schools plus add all the FCS players that made into the NFL on various G5 rosters. It's crazy so far and nowhere near done.
-
That's a bold strategy, Cotton. I am hoping it's as amazing as I know it could be but I've been hurt. So hurt.
-
Good stuff!!!
-
Tuned in 🎧
-
I still play NCAA '14 to this day! If College Football 25 is underwhelming and feels like Madden, I'm going right back to '14 💯
-
Great send off video—but it was Brad Nessler and Kirk that commentated, not Chris Fowler and Kirk. I’m so excited Fowler will be in the new game. He brings such a good energy!
