EA Sports is set to revolutionize college hoops gaming with immersive gameplay featuring your favorite teams.
Get ready, college basketball fans — EA Sports is bringing back the iconic college basketball video game, set to drop in 2028! The excitement is real, and it all started when Matt Brown received a memo revealing EA Sports won the bid to develop the game, following a formal request for proposals from the College Licensing Company (CLC).
Five companies showed interest, but EA’s plan stood out, promising a game that captures the passion and intensity of college hoops like never before. EA even teased the comeback on their official Twitter, confirming the wait is almost over.
What does this mean for you? Imagine taking control of your favorite team—like the Kentucky Wildcats — and leading them through thrilling matchups, March Madness showdowns, and unforgettable buzzer-beaters — all from your own console. Launching deep 3-pointers, having poster dunks, or locking down opponents with your defense. The game will let you live your college basketball dreams in full swing.
Thanks to new NIL (Name, Image, Likeness) rules, real player names and likenesses will be featured, making gameplay more immersive and realistic than ever before. This is a huge leap from the last college basketball game, which came out before NIL became a thing.
After EA’s college football game returned with huge success, you can expect top-tier gameplay, stunning graphics, and plenty of options like creating your own player or building a dynasty.
Wildcats fans and college basketball lovers everywhere, mark your calendars—2028 is when you’ll hit the hardwood again and prove who’s the ultimate champ. The countdown is on—are you ready to play?
