Is the current fuss about the EA 2K college basketball game clarified - a look at the actual situation?
In a thrilling turn of events, the world of college basketball gaming is set for a major shakeup as two industry giants, 2K Sports and EA Sports, prepare to make their mark.
After a decade-long hiatus, EA Sports last released a college basketball game with NCAA Basketball 2010 in 2009. Now, they've announced plans to bring the madness back, with the caption: "Bring the Madness. Let's run it back. #CBB #ItsInTheGame."
On the other hand, 2K Sports has been making waves with their college basketball game plans. The company, which missed out on the bid for the college basketball game, has now stepped up to the plate. They've struck deals with over 100 college basketball teams and are exploring new ways to bring athletes and schools to life.
According to reports, 2K's college basketball game plans include benefits for partner schools, college athletes, and players. The game is expected to feature "powerhouses" and "Cinderella stories," similar to those seen in the world of college basketball.
The game modes are rumoured to be similar to those in EA Sports College Football, including College Football Ultimate Team, Dynasty, Road to Glory, and Road to the College Football Playoff. However, there are no specific details about the exact content of EA’s proposal for a college basketball game series.
Meanwhile, 2K Sports has hinted at surprises in their college basketball game, scheduled for release in early 2026. Interestingly, their recent statement suggests that college basketball teams may be incorporated into the NBA 2K games instead of a standalone title. Official details or confirmation about this are yet to be confirmed.
indy100 has contacted EA for confirmation and further comment on their college basketball game plans, but as of now, there are no details about EA Sports' current plans for their college basketball game.
The plan for the college basketball game was initially set for a 2028 release, featuring more than 730 teams across all Division I men's and women's teams if they opted in. However, with the recent announcements from both 2K Sports and EA Sports, it seems that the timeline for the release of these highly anticipated games may be moving up.
The commercial success of EA Sports College Football 25 led to the College Licensing Company (CLC) putting out a request for a college basketball game to be made in November 2024. Five companies expressed formal interest and three filed formal bids, with EA Sports being chosen due to the success it had in reviving the College Football series.
As the dust settles on these announcements, one thing is clear: the world of college basketball gaming is about to get a lot more exciting. Whether it's through a standalone game or as part of the NBA 2K series, fans can look forward to a new era of college basketball gaming in the near future.
