NCAA Football 14 is an American football video game published by EA Sports and developed by EA Tiburon. It is the successor to NCAA Football 13.
Cover
On March 10, 2013, it was announced that former Michigan quarterback Denard Robinson would be the cover athlete for the game.[1] A fan vote beginning on December 5, 2012 allowed fans to choose what teams would be represented in the cover vote. After it was narrowed down to 32, a second round of voting narrowed it down to 16. A third round reduced it to 8 teams with players. Players also vying for the cover were Eddie Lacy, Kenjon Barner, Jarvis Jones, EJ Manuel, Ryan Swope, Andre Ware, John Simon, and Tyler Eifert.[2]

The game received mixed reviews. GameSpot gave the game a 6/10, praising the on-field action but criticizing the unnecessary experience system, the recruiting process, and the lack of significant changes from NCAA Football 13. IGN, who gave the game a 7.4/10, had similar comments, praising the fun running game and improvements to Dynasty Mode, but criticizing online servers, the dated visuals, and the "generic" feel to the game.[4]
Future of series
As of 2016, this is the most recent installment of EA Sports NCAA Series.
NCAA Football 14 was the final game in the NCAA Football series. The main reason behind the decision was the ongoing debate on whether college athletes should receive payment. Many players argued the game series used their likeness, yet they saw no compensation.[5]
