Thoughts on a PC release in the next 5 years?

Obviously with NCAA Revamped, NCAA 14 is still alive.

I could not imagine an EA CFB PC release if modders got their hands on it.

Imagine AI logic being overhauled for on the field, recruiting, etc.

Not to mention all the uniform options.

The elephant in the room (roll tide) is rosters.

I think this is the reason it wont come to PC is roster editing.

Hopefully a compromise can be reached and a PC release can happen.

Our only other option is a next gen console emulator which is obviously years away if at all.

I honestly don't think the modding community is anything EA cares too much about. I don't believe it is why we didn't get it on PC this year and I don't believe it would be the reason we may never see the series on PC.

I think the primary reason that we may not see this game reach PC is because the game has a smaller community as is and it wouldn't be fiscally worth it to put resources towards a PC version when I doubt even 10% of the community would be on that platform.

And, even if my assumption is wrong and the # of players on PC is bigger than 10%, how many would be new purchasers and not people that already are console owners? How many actual new units would EA move each year when putting the game on PC? Would it be enough to make it worth making a PC version? I hope so, but I don't expect so.

Was NCAAf14 on PC? If it was, my vote is yes. If it wasnt, my vote is no.

I don't believe the EA NCAA FB games have ever been on PC. NCAA 14 was not at least.

Considering the rise of PC gaming, along with the Steam Deck, ROG Ally, etc. I believe it will make it to PC eventually. Never say never. People never thought EA sports games would ever be on Steam either, but alas they are now.

NCAA '98 and '99 were the only two EVER to be on PC.
