EA Sports Plans College Basketball Video Game Return 2028

News summary

EA Sports has announced the return of its college basketball video game series, with the first new installment expected to launch in 2028, nearly two decades after the last release in 2009. This decision follows the successful revival of the college football video game, College Football 25, which generated significant revenue and renewed fan interest. The College Licensing Company recommended EA Sports' proposal to produce the game, which will include both men's and women's Division I teams, along with player name, image, and likeness (NIL) features. The new basketball game will potentially feature over 700 teams and include modes similar to the football counterpart, such as Dynasty Mode and Ultimate Team. Fans and players alike, including Purdue guard Braden Smith, have expressed excitement about the announcement, though the game's release will occur after many current college players' collegiate careers conclude. The return of the game reignites the rivalry between EA Sports and 2K Games, with some fans hoping for the unique MyPlayer mode from 2K to be included in future basketball titles.
