The community does a great job with roster updates for NCAA 14 but I would love a reboot with new conferences (instead of doing it manually) and the playoff. Road to Glory badly needs an update too, since it gets really stale after a while. Please pay the players so we can have our game back.
(and while they're at it NCAA Basketball 2K would be swell. I'll upgrade my Xbox 360 if these ever happen)

I've never understood why they don't this.
Make it authentic as possible, but just use a random roster. The true fans will create real roster content anyways.
Honestly, having played 2014 now numerous times over the last four years with old rosters, if they came out with a new game that had an empty set for roster and had you press a randomizer button to create a unique local roster to get around the player issues I'd be happy.

Same man, same. I had heard that the last version of the game they were working on before the series was cancelled included a stadium builder that used a minecraft-like tool to build. I had been wanting that in the NCAA series for the longest time, they couldn't have killed it one year later...

I would have bought a version of that with a stadium builder in a cold minute. That would be fun to play around with. It would be kind of reminiscent of SimCity Societies where you actually got to engineer a city at the micro-level and give it an aesthetic that wasn't possible in previous iterations of the series.

There may be a need to move certain team's dots off of the screen completely.

The actual game part where you control players, etc is the best part of NCAAF, though. I still play 14 and enjoy dynasty mode when I have the time.
December 12th, 2017 at 10:14 AM ^
Just pay the fucking players and make a new NCAAF.
But only if EA doesn't do it. I don't want to have to pay $5 to unlock each team.

I love sports sims more than Madden-style arcade games because builder a roster and developing offensive/defensive gameplans interest me more than double-pressing the "A" button to execute a spin move.
Football Manager (soccer) has been a huge time waster for me over the years.

Spin move is the "B" button

being a fan of the Football (soccer) Manager series, I also looked for similar manager type games for America Football and came across the above game.
read some of the reviews about the game and the most repeated criticisms were
1) the lack of sophisticated AI response. same plays work the same over and over again. same play by AI results in same bust by player team over and over again.
2) no information regarding the plays being selected (no images to show what the play is)
3) the lack of information from the 2D field view. example given was a safety was taking a weird route for a tackle against a RB. was it because of bad coaching or lack of player intelligence or speed difference between safety and RB or just bad AI. No options to see the results and adjust approach of defender or coaching/practicing.
4) can't edit players inserted for individual plays. can't have RB in slot.
etc etc

purgatory for Michigan football fans. EA had to quit on that one, so now we find ourselves perpetually trying to dig out of the hole Brady Hoke put us in.

I've been debating getting Bowl Bound College Football for a while, but the Steam reviews have been holding me back on it. It seems like it would be a good substitute for the NCAA games, especially since it seems similar to Football Manager and Eastside Hockey Manager. I'm not sure if what I'm finding is the same game you're talking about, but it's on sale for around $10 right now until the 18th.
