The mechanics of the game handle better than any other football game I've ever played. It's detailed without being frustrating. It coddles you the right amount with play calling. The read option mechanic is particularly fun.

Each stadium's atmosphere is surprisingly detailed and fun. I miss the FCS teams held in earlier games, but it's a decent size team list.

The Road to Heisman (or whatever the player mode is called) is so fun. Taking the guy all the way from high school to dominating the nation is satisfying. Putting the upgrades in the player's hands makes the game as challenging as you want it.

The dynasty mode isn't as great as past years, it's really, really easy to dominate in 2-3 years.

I miss this series every day. There are no other games that are quite like NCAA 14. I have a cautious hope for NCAA 25, we'll see.
