College Basketball video games are BACK!

Online leagues and tourneys?

When was the last time EA made a good basketball game? The early 2000s?

Still NBA 2K is a total microtransaction disaster these days there is room for competition, not that EA would end up being any better on that front.

The goat is still 05, but they did a VERY solid job with Live 19

Still against how good 2k was back in the the day with 14, 15, 16, what EA did with the foundations of 18/19 was pretty impressive against a the juggernaut that as 2k back then.


I more than happy with the turn of College basketball.

Hope they built a good foundation for a possible return of Live ( maybe one day)

05 was good and nba live 10 had it's charms. College BB 09 also had some good points. The movement and rebounding was off though.

And i will be in the minority, but NBA Live and College BB by EA was more "FUN" to play than 2k. Though 2k did a much better job of representing the sport.

It will be interesting to see new basketball competition. I really didn't enjoy any iteration of Live once 2K came about.

Didnt they spend years developing an NBA Live game only to scrap it?

They had to scrap a game called NBA Elite 11, but some copies make it out into the wild.



They later brought back NBA Live for a few years but the series got cancelled again when they tried to move to the current gen consoles.
 
Great news. Hopefully lights a fire under 2K eventually.
I just want a better product, dont care whos putting it out.

2028. Why even promote it. Let that stuff bake then announce 6 months before release.

Wait, this is for 2028 season? What is even the point of saying anything right now??

That said, I would love a good College Ball game with a solid career mode. 2K was great at that till they made it shit with MTX.
