NCAA Not Renewing Contract With EA Sports; May Bring an End to College Video Games
The NCAA today announced they will not be renewing their contract with EA Sports for the rights to their name and logo. That means NCAA Football 14 at the very least is the last game that will be able to use that name and it may be the final blow to a series that was already teetering on the edge of viability. (more…)...

Post-Release Deals on NCAA Football 14
With NCAA Football 14 having released earlier this week those who did not pick it up already have a couple options to consider if still interested in doing so. The Toys "R" Us promo continues through Saturday (today) with the in-store offer being a $25 gift card with purchase to put towards another item or items at a later date. If that isn't an option then it's definitely worth noting that Amazon already has a lower price on NCAA 14. The Xbox 360 version is going for $49.50 (this offe...

NCAA Football 14 Initial Impressions
Coming off two very weak efforts EA Sports needed to reestablish the NCAA Football franchise as something other than an also-ran to Madden. What used to be an innovative series has been anything but in recent years - and when trying for new features they've failed miserably with the implementation and their assessment of what consumers truly desired out of the product. While NCAA Football 14 doesn't break any new ground actual effort is immediately recognized in areas that have desperatel...
