Can’t wait for EA to finally release the first new college football game in over a decade? You can now play the game with updated rosters and advanced uniform options on your PC, provided you have a copy of the game itself.
Here’s what you need to do.
What do I need to play NCAA 14 on PC?
First, you’ll need a reasonably powerful computer. The older system and the emulation process take up many of your computer’s resources. I can’t play NCAA 14 on my PC without dedicating 100% of my processing power to it—I have to close down every other app or program.
Second, you’ll need a copy of the game itself. You can get a game code or a hard copy of the game for PS3.
For those who have an Xbox 360 disc copy of NCAA Football 14, you are out of luck. Only the PS3 version works reasonably because Playstation emulation is much better than that of Xbox.
How to download NCAA 14 on your PC
First, go to the link on the CFB Revamped’s Twitter account. I’ve linked it here for ease of access.
Next, you’ll need to select what copy of the game you’re using: Either a digital copy or a hard copy. Each will have different instructions.
After a couple of clickthrough menus to determine which scorebug and controller inputs you’ll be using, you’ll be prompted to download RCPS3, which you can do here. You’ll need to download the PKG file and license files, and once you’ve launched RCPS3, you can drag them into the launcher. After that, you should be all set to play.
RCPS3’s website will display a message letting you know that piracy of any kind isn’t condoned.
When will the new NCAA game be released?
Currently, the release of the new NCAA game is being held up by the legal process. The once-yearly release was also ended by legislation: Over the past few decades, the American courts have slowly awakened to an uncomfortable truth in sports that college football players are university employees and deserve compensation.
Specifically, the game’s run was ended by the O’Bannon v NCAA judgment, which stated that the NCAA violated antitrust law by saying players could not be compensated for using their likenesses commercially.
NCAA 24 is reportedly set to release in the summer of 2024 after all the processes regarding the new Name, Image, and Likeness rules (NIL for short) have been followed.
So, there you have it. You know everything you need about playing NCAA 14 on PC. Enjoy!
