Powered by Infinity Engine 2, NCAA Football 14 allows gamers to try new moves, such as stiff-arms, trucking, Hit Stick and dive tackles. Apart from this, the game has Dynasty mode with New Coach Skills and Power Recruiting options.
In the latest version, EA has incorporated the Ultimate Team mode, which allows gamers to form a team from 2,000 former NCAA football stars.
The current installment has received a metascore of 77 (Xbox) and 75 (PS3) from Metacritic in addition to positive reviews from critics and gamers. The earlier version under the NCAA Football series, NCAA Football 13, had scored 76 (Xbox 360) and 79 (PS3).
The NCAA franchise has been successful over the years and is evident from the reported sale of 23 million copies to date, which helped the franchise earn $900 million in revenues. Thus, positive reviews and a large fan following should act as tailwinds for the franchise in generating incremental revenues going forward.

Advisors' Opinion:- [By Dan Caplinger]
Monmouth Real Estate Investment (NYSE: MNR ) will release its quarterly report on Thursday, and investors have been nervous lately about the real estate investment trust's prospects in a rising interest rate environment. Yet what sets Monmouth apart from both leveraged mortgage REIT Annaly Capital Management (NYSE: NLY ) and traditional industrial REITs is the fact that Monmouth gets about half of its rental revenue from a single customer, FedEx (NYSE: FDX ) . Does that add an unacceptable level of risk to the investment, or is it actually a positive for Monmouth?

Who will rule the sky?
Boeing and Airbus have been rivals for some time, with both companies attempting to dominate the mini-jumbo market. The A350-1000 has had slow sales to start, but ir recently took a swing at Boeing's 777's thanks to an $6 billion order from longtime Boeing customer British Airways. More importantly, this order marked a upward tick in sales as Air Lease (NYSE: AL ) also purchased five A350-1000s, and other airlines have starting to show interest in doing the same. Considering Airbus markets the A350-1000 as a 777 replacement, I'm guessing Boeing is feeling a little bruised.�
