"Holy crap its finally happening": Hoops fans go wild at latest reports of college basketball video game powered by EA & 2K

The basketball community is buzzing with excitement over reports of a potential college basketball video game in development. Renowned video game companies EA and 2K are said to be collaborating on this groundbreaking project. The news was confirmed by respected journalist Mike Straw on X through @CBKReport, accompanied by a caption that reads:

"EA and 2K are reportedly in talks to bring back a College Basketball video game."

Since the announcement, numerous fans have expressed their excitement about the long-awaited development of a new college basketball game.

"Holy crap it’s finally happening," one fan exclaimed.

"This is needed! The game would be awesome," another user replied.

"YOOOOO," another expressed.

However, some fans have expressed concerns about the ability of these two video game giants to collaborate successfully and produce a high-quality game.

"If 2K can’t even make a good MyNBA mode, I have very little faith they’ll make a good CBB Dynasty mode. I hope I’m wrong though," a user posted.

"Need it to be developed by 2K. Hopefully, EA lets them in on the license," another said.

Despite the news being confirmed by credible sources, both EA and 2K have yet to officially announce the project. However, with ongoing discussions, according to these sources, many fans can anticipate the game's development as more likely than not.

In due time, hopefully, the public will be able to enjoy playing as their favorite college players and programs across multiple platforms.

The last NCAA basketball video game was in 2009

After a 15-year hiatus, it appears EA is poised to become a leading force in developing a new college basketball video game. Their last installment was in 2009, marking the 10th iteration before its discontinuation.

The franchise, titled "NCAA Basketball," ran from 1998 to 2009 and had annual releases. The games were available on consoles such as PlayStation, PlayStation 2, PlayStation 3, Xbox and Xbox 360.

With significant technological advancements since then, the next NCAA basketball video game is expected to be available on platforms like the PS5, Xbox Series and possibly even on PC.
