EA Sports and 2K Hint at Revival of College Basketball Video Games
UNITED STATES, JUN 30 – EA Sports will include both men's and women's Division I teams in the 2028 release, leveraging NCAA's NIL policy and following College Football 25's record $1 billion revenue debut.
- Earlier this week, EA Sports announced the return of its college basketball series, first since 2009, with a projected 2028 launch and inclusion of women’s teams.
- Driven by NCAA’s NIL policy changes, EA emerged as the winning bidder after the College Licensing Company’s 2024 RFP, aiming for a 2028 release amid billion-dollar football revenues.
- EA Sports' new college basketball game will be the first since NBA Live 19 , last NCAA Basketball in 2009, and will include women's teams for the first time.
- Fans express excitement online, while NBA 2K claims dominance, raising questions about EA's ability to challenge the market leader.
- EA Sports' return to college basketball aims to reshape NIL compensation and revenue, building on March Madness’s $1 billion ad market and Ed O’Bannon’s landmark antitrust case.
