With no new game, it just means I can go deeper into dynasty mode and enjoy the game how it was meant to be played, not rushing through because another version is due out. Just my opinion of course.
    The problem is, some of my friends sold or traded their old systems to move over to XB1/PS4, so one of the most enjoyable parts of NCAA, playing online dynasty with my friends, is now not possible.

    I'll still enjoy the game on my own but it would be even better if I was able to play the game with that group of friends still, which can not happen unless we get a new title.

      I'm still on my 360 for the foreseeable future, probably not getting a Xbone/PS4 unless NCAA returns.

      That being said, NCAA 14 is still the best football game available - quite a bit better than Madden 15 on both the new and last gen consoles IMO.

        This. I started playing NCAA 14 for the first time two weeks ago and I'm only continuing because it's such a great game, but I really wish it were on next gen. I wouldn't care if it didn't have the best graphics like the Madden 25 port. I just want to put my 360 away and this is the only game preventing me from doing so.

          Many of us are still enjoying NCAA 14, but I worry that at any moment EA could pull the plug on the game and remove it from thier servers....then we cant play online or download updated rosters.

            I feel the same ... NCAA Football 14 is the only reason my Xbox360 is still hooked up. Thanks to those who put together current rosters it's still fun starting new seasons ... just wish there was a way to easily custom every team schedule over to the most recent one ... not to mention EA having figured out a way to add the CFP to the game by downloadable content or something prior to closing up shop on the game.

                Exactly my reasoning too. Plus the game (not gameplay) feels a little outdated now when switching back and forth between it on PS3 and Madden 15 on PS4

                  for sure this, and maybe more than just a little. in all honesty, madden 15 on xb1 is 1 giant leap ahead of ncaa 14 in a lot of areas.

                    There's is no denying the popularity of football in north america right now. Say what you will about the legal issues, but I believe another NCAA football game will come out in the next few years; too much money is being left on the table. Someone will want to capitalize on this sports popularity.

                      If not for NCAA 14 I could sell my Xbox 360 add that's the only game it ever plays anymore

                        Please, hurry up & give the OK for a new college football game. Much rather have that over Madden. NCAA 14 on 360 has been keeping me going and it was just be so refreshing to release a new one soon, with a vastly improved TeamBuilder.

                            Regarding EA and the NCAA Series, consider:

                            1. Madden 15 is now 2 years ahead of NCAA with regard to EA's implementation of the Infinity Engine - and soon to be 3 years ahead, assuming no NCAA 16. Unless and until EA can see the possibility of resurrecting the NCAA Series (free of legal entanglements), EA has no incentive to attempt to port the present game to the next-gen consoles or to add features to the existing game. In fact, EA has a positive incentive to not do anything to bring new attention to possible legal actions so long as there is no clear legal path to producing a licensed college game.

                            2. The Madden Series has only a short future life on the current-gen consoles, unless sales of next-gen consoles prove to be so poor that Microsoft and Sony discontinue those products (not very likely). So, even if EA resurrects the NCAA Series, it is very unlikely to produce a new game for current-gen consoles.

                            3. If EA takes down the NCAA Servers, online play might cease, unless someone figures out a way to keep that feature alive via alternate online means. Roster development can continue without EA Servers. More people would need to learn how to use the Editors and Rosters can be shared via email and OS Forums. However, EA has an incentive to maintain the Servers so long as they have a potential interest in a future NCAA game, in order to keep the NCAA community connected to EA.

                            The good news is that, with NCAA 14, EA left us with the best and most versatile game in the series. External editing has created ways to update Rosters, so the game can be kept current by the community. EA does monitor the forums, so they are very aware of what we are doing with regard to modifying Rosters, etc. via external means, to keep the game alive. If the legal situation is sorted out such that EA decides to return to the game, it is possible that we might see some help from EA with regard to the current-gen game.

                              Without NCAA I save $60 a year and haven't had to buy a new system. Last I checked you can still play 14. I am perfectly fine without a yearly installment at this point.

                                I was thinking about the close partnership between X1 and EA right now. And then I thought, "Man, Microsoft would move some consoles if they some how came up with an exclusive for NCAA." Just have completely random appearance and ratings. No likeness whatsoever. Random numbers and everything.
