To get a "like new" one on Amazon is nearly 100$. Oh well, its worth it. Came out 5 years ago and still better then any of the recent Madden's.

I feel ya, it's a shame that it isn't backwards compatible.

They could make a frickton of money if they re-released it on ps4.

How is it broken? Did you physically break the disc? Is it scratched and the system won't read it?

If it's scratched you can likely get it cleaned/polished to get it working again.

It's pretty scratched up. My brother had it for a while and kind of just let it sit in a drawer without a case. I hate that I didn't get it digitally when i had the chance.

Find a place nearby you that has a CD buffer they'll let you use, usually for very small fee.

Used game stores almost always have them, because they use them a ton to buff up games people trade in. That's where I went years ago to access one and it totally fixed a game I had that was horribly scratched. If there are used game stores around you, call em up and see if they offer polishing as a service. Even freaking Gamestop's may have them at this point, since they do so many trade ins.

I also remember hearing once many public libraries have them, or you can probably find some mom and pop electronic store or something.

The buffers really are amazing, there almost isn't a scratch they can't fix. I can guarantee it would fix your disc.

There are also DIY polishing kits and methods, but those may not be as effective but worth a shot if you can't find a legit buffing machine to use.

Get one off of eBay for like $45. I paid $35 for my copy with a 15% off coupon and it works great

My friends’ was unreadable as well but what we did was install a good one onto his hard drive, and then it would play the bad disc.

If none of your friends have a good copy of it, you can always start a free trial with GameFly and receive/install/or buy from them

You people feel this game is still a good buy? Thinking about throwing that in my Christmas wish list. For reference, I still play NCAA ‘12 like every other day

It's the football game closest to being perfect. Everything about it is amazing.

I love the recruiting aspect of the game the most.

Update the rosters and it’s still amazing to this day. Arguably the best football game I’ve ever played.

The data isn't written on the plastic. As long as you fill in/buff out the plastic, it should be fine. Now, if the label is scratched through, you're out of luck.

Bought it on the PSN store for like $20 a few years ago. Do you need retail?

Update: couldn't order an NCAA 14, not about to spend 150$+ on a new one. Ordered a brand new NCAA 13 though for only 30$


Also went to a few GameStop's around Baton Rouge and they said the nearest GameStop with NCAA 14 is about 80 miles away, so it looks like I won't be getting NCAA 14 anytime soon.

I also tried the toothpaste and other stuff, but they have one gash in it that's too big, my brother really fricked it up. Thanks for the suggestions though
