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. Despite the fact that the game was critically and commercially well received, no sequel was produced the following year. Due to legal issues surrounding the game's use of college player likenesses, as of 2018, NCAA Football 2014 is the last installment of the NCAA Football series. As the most recent entry in the dormant series, the game continues to be played, with unofficial roster updates being released reflecting subsequent seasons.

Cover
On March 10, 2013, it was announced that former Michigan quarterback Denard Robinson would be the cover athlete for the game. 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.

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.
NCAA Football 14 was a commercial success, selling over 1 million copies.
Future of series
As of 2018, NCAA Football 2014 is the most recent installment of EA Sports NCAA Series. The main reason behind the decision was the ongoing debate on whether NCAA athletes should receive payment. Many players argued the game series used their likeness, yet they saw no compensation. There are currently no plans to revitalize the franchise, but Peter Moore, an EA executive, was quoted as saying, "One day, I know [the NCAA Football franchise will] be back."
