Something about NCAA Football 14 won’t let me put it down. Maybe it’s the different game modes, or maybe something else...
What about NCAA 14 makes it so good? Why is there such a dedicated community to the NCAA game? Why does it make me not want to put it down?
Well first, let’s answer the thread title. Why NCAA Football 14 is the greatest football video game of all time. Maybe it is the modding side. Or the gameplay side. Or the Recruiting side. Or the roster side. There are so many parts that define the NCAA Football series. Pretty much everything listed except for maybe modding is a very key part to the series. And it always has. And if there is another game, it always will.
NCAA Football 14 was the last of a kind. One question I always ask myself when I see a Madden game is “Why did we lose so much?” Why can’t we find a good football game anymore? Well, I think it is because the fact that EA gave us everything it had knowing that likely NCAA 14 was the last of the series. They needed a rebound from the game NCAA 13 was. It was a little like NFL 2K5. 2K built up NFL 2K5 with not one game, but many. The level of thought that came in to how NCAA 14 was designed. Amazing.
What makes NCAA 14 so good? All of it. From the ability to customize how you want it to be, to the outstanding gameplay, to the amazing recruiting, and finally to how it makes you in the game. In the college football atmosphere. That is what we have been missing. Getting in to the game. And add everything else I have mentioned. It all adds up to an amazing game.
Why is there still a dedicated community after 6 years? Maybe simply because it is the last NCAA game in the foreseeable future. Maybe because of how you want to import the rosters to Madden 25. No. I think it is the ability that ea mastered and never used again, of letting you in to the game. And as mentioned before, the was what ea was missing all along. Plus being such an amazing game.
What makes me not want to put it down? It is very addicting. But why? Maybe because the strive for the championship. The heartbreak that comes with losing. Wanting only to win with your favorite team. This is also connected to how it ties you into the game. It draws you in. You want to see your players, from when you recruit them, to the heartbreak of them graduating. Wanting to impress your fans, and finally, taking a team and bringing them back.
This all defines what NCAA 14 is all about. This is what makes up NCAA 14. This is why this is the best football game, maybe ever.
While there have been talks about Gridiron Champions bringing back NCAA Football, I don’t think it will come out, and even if it does, it won’t get enough sales. So for now we have NCAA 14. And that is all I want for the next 10 years.
