College football fans have been desperately waiting for a new video game to drop since EA Sports shut down the NCAA Football franchise in 2013 (after NCAAFootball14) because of the NCAA’s preference that its athletes not get paid, which led to court cases. Colleges then stopped licensing their logos, uniforms and stadiums for video games.

NCAA Football 14 unlocks the unpredictability and innovation of the college game. The new physics driven animation system and a completely re engineered spread and read option game influence the outcome of every moment allowing you to stay true to the game.

For the current season of Bowl Subdivision play, see 2014 NCAA Division I FBS football season.College football is American football played by teams of student athletes fielded by American universities, colleges, and military academies, or Canadian football played by teams of student athletes fielded by Canadian.

Now, thanks to a community of gamers, there is CollegeFootballMod19, which uses EA’s Madden NFL 19 PC release as its base. The CollegeFootballMod19 demo, featuring the Alabama Crimson Tide vs. Clemson Tigers, is out now for MaddenNFL19 PC users.

Peep the gameplay video.

The demo allows you to replay the 2019 College Football Playoff National Championship and has the real uniforms and rosters, as well as the Levi’s Stadium field, matching the real game.

The biggest thing missing revolves around audio. The best thing about college vs. NFL is the atmosphere, featuring fight songs and crowd chants. This will continue to be an ongoing project, so it is hoped that at some point the audio will be moddable.

Due to Madden being capped at 32 teams, right now you only have the same number of options initially, but gamers will be able to swap out teams, so if your fave squad isn’t included, you can create them or import the team if someone already did the work for you.

While you don’t have access to all of the FBS squads, College Football Mod 19 does provide the opportunity to enjoy and fill the college football gaming void. In the future, there will be also a gameplay mod along with a graphics mod that will incorporate the biggest differences between college and NFL, such as changing the hash marks, one foot in bounds rule, PAT 3-yard line, no two-minute warning, and the clock stops on first downs.

You can check out how the mod is coming along, as well stay in the know about the official release by following College Football Mod 19 on Twitter.

The coronavirus pandemic and associated lockdowns have affected entertainment consumption practices in several ways. Movies scheduled to release during the quarantine have either been pushed back or launched on streaming services. GameStop defied closure orders and paid the price. An overwhelming demand for tabletop miniatures made stock prices soar for Games Workshop and eclipse those of British gas giants. Now, you can add sky-rocketing prices for old sports games to the list.

Recently, gamers have started talking about NCAA Football 14. A lot. The game was trending on Twitter, and sites such as Lukie Games are selling copies for $160+ a pop. Meanwhile, eBay has NCAA Football 14 discs ranging from $20 to $190 each.

Normally, fans of football games flock to the latest version with the most up-to-date roster, so what is with the fervor for a game that is seven years out of date and not backwards compatible?

Low supply, high demand, and class action lawsuits

EA hasn't released a single NCAA Football title since 2013, so there's no such thing as a new copy. Moreover, the company can't sell digital copies, so the physical discs for sale are the only copies available — period. As demand for a product increases but supply dwindles, prices increase. As demand ceases and supply grows, prices decrease. Since EA can't make more supply, prices can only go up.

In 2013, the National Collegiate Athletic Association (NCAA) opted not to renew EA's license to create NCAA video games. This decision followed separate lawsuits filed by Ed O'Bannon and Sam Keller centered on anti-trust laws and the compensation of college athletes for the use of their names, images, and likenesses in video games.

Essentially, NCAA prices have skyrocketed because EA can't make and sell more copies of NCAA Football 14. In addition, NCAA Football 14's reviewscores compared to Madden NFL 20, mixed with general nostalgia and a desire for the last game in a franchise, are driving up demand.
