vikesfan's 2020-2021 Roster Update thread in the Rosters forum will have the RPCS3 roster file (it's the 3rd link in the 1st post), so that's the file you need if you don't already have it.

The download is just a folder inside a .zip file, and the folder itself is the roster file. Then you just need to drag the roster file into RPCS3's saved data folder (can be confusing because you might have two folders called 'savedata'). I'mma just copy/paste the answer I gave to someone who asked in that thread, but here's the process:

If that's the case, you should only need to place that folder in dev_hdd0 > home > 00000001 > savedata (dev_hdd0 is in the main RPCS3 folder). If you go to that folder you should see folders for all your saves - Profile, Dyansties, CPBs, etc. I have another savedata folder directly in \dev_hdd0, but it seems to be meant for other stuff, so make sure you put the file in the right savedata, inside dev_hdd0\home\00000001. Once that's done it should appear as a loadable roster file in-game, like any other. You might have to go to Load in the file management menu in-game, and manually load the specific roster file before it takes effect, but once you load it it should be the default roster loaded each time you boot the game.

Once you do that you should be good to go.

I have tried the suggested settings in this forum and still receive multiple freezes during the game, and now experiencing black field issue as well. Any ideas?

PC Specs:
Ryzen 7 5800x
MSI RTX 3080 Gaming X Trio
32GB DDR4 3600mHz RAM

Current RPCS3 settings
CPU Tab: LLVM for both decoders
CPU Tab: additional settings - enable thread scheduler, enable spu loop detection, spu cache

GPU Tab: anisotropic filter 4x, resolution 1280 x 720 with 200% scale, async (multi threaded) shader mode, additional settings vsync

BLUS31159 version 01.00

could you please PM me the link if you still have it?

Apologies if this was already mentioned & one of the things you've already tried, but the RPCS3 wiki's page on NCAA 14 recommends switching the Shader Mode from the default Async (multi threaded) to Async with Shader Interpreter, which is apparently "needed in order to fix black field glitch during day games, which is present in various NCAA Football and Madden NFL games. After building up a shader cache using Async with Shader Interpreter mode, users can switch back to Async (multithreaded) for subsequent boots if required."

If I were you I'd try that while also turning Resolution Scale back down to 100% and changing the Aniso Filtering back to the default Auto. Goes without saying that it's almost certainly not happening because of a simple filter, but I can see a quirk in the coding causing issues with the upscaler maybe? Have you tried all of those in one go (default Res. Scale, default Anisotropic Filter, Shader Mode: Async w/ Shader Interpreter)?

I'm using a Ryzen CPU + GeForce GPU also, but in my case it's an R5 3600 and a GTX 1660S, and I haven't had any issues, so you should be able to run it perfectly. I'd be surprised if it wasn't the Shader Mode thing, or maybe some random setting in the nvidia control panel.

I've skimmed through the posts here and it seems like I may be limited by my CPU but I'm not even able to launch the emulator...it just crashes:

CPU -- AMD Phenom II X6 1090T Processor, 3200 Mhz
GPU -- AMD RX570
RAM -- 16GB

I just had to send back my new laptop (i7-9750H, 16GB ram and a 1650-maxq) which was able to run NCAA14 when the GPU wasn't acting up.

I have an i7-9750H, 32GB ram and a 1660Ti coming soon which I expect will work fine.

...just wondering if I really won't be able to play this on my desktop PC w/o upgrading the CPU (and the motherboard and RAM).

Maybe I'm missing something...but I can't seem to edit my last post.

I started googling compatibility and it seems like my CPU doesn't support "SSSE3" so I'm likely just on too old of hardware.

I just upgraded my i5-2500k to a Ryzen 5 3600 and can finally play this game.

It's an extraordinary game, I haven't had this much fun with a football game in ages. Everything is so well done (replays/stats/sounds/gameplay/recruiting) and it's just FUN. Yes, I'm sure there are plenty of warts that will show later but right now I'm having a great time playing it.
