Thankfully for our group, and many others, there is a small group of dedicated PC aficionados from Operation Sports that still retain that same passion, and have decided to put it to good use by creating an College Football Mod 19 that utilizes EA’s Madden NFL 19 PC release as its base. While some still play an updated version of NCAA Football 14 to help fill the void left by the demise of the once proud franchise, many do not have the ability to overcome the lack of graphical polish or a past-gen system to do so. And if the lawsuit that took our precious football title away had never happened, our dynasty would still be going to this day. While it seems weird to have been so emotionally invested in a video game title, all of us were and made no apologies about it.
And if it was a head-to-head game that was being streamed, shut it down because all eight of us would watch that game as if we had bet a year’s worth of paychecks on the outcome. Our group would sit in party chats for hours and give play-by-play specific breakdowns of the game we were playing. It was a social event that I can only comparatively associate with a Friday night card game with the boys. For us though, and many others, it was much more than just about playing a game that we loved. I personally belonged to a dedicated group of 10 individuals who would do battle year in and year out for online dynasty supremacy. For fans of NCAA Football video games, it has been five long years since the release of NCAA Football 2014 by EA Sports.
