I miss the college basketball video games
I don’t care if they don’t bring back College Basketball
Basketball is boring to me I prefer them to bring College Football instead of Basketball which they are EA Sports College Football 25

Fr if ea college football 25 is successful hopefully ea makes a College basketball 26
2K would make a ton money from creating a College Basketball Game.
exactly! EASILY
Yes I'd pay for a college tweeked 2k
@@msercool3000 You'd probably have to spend $1000 on in-app purchases a year
Would be massive if 2k does imagine the open world in it…the park would be campuses or jus one campus the offline career mode would be like ncaa basketball 10 were you shoot around on the court on campus before the game starts
I was just gonna comment this, you already know 💯
The world is so hungry for a college basketball game again
I’m excited for ncaa 25 football. If they brought the college basketball back “march madness” I might play 2k fr fr
College basketball games had the best atmosphere recreation. Not even the football games made you feel like you were in the building like the basketball games. The chants the crowd animation and reactions to the on court action was spectacular in the EA and 2K offerings. Something the pro versions haven't gotten right...
I miss recruiting in college basketball
I would be perfectly fine with an NBA2k reskin if we can get college teams and conferences, and NCAA tournament. Just render the arenas, insert the gameplay from 2K and roll on if that’s what it takes
Same. I think most people wouldn't mind, They probably just think it won't make enough money
They need to have the dynasty component though, so that will take a little more time. Then pay for the likenesses. But yeah, it seems like they could do it. I bet they are keeping an eye out to see how well EA does with College Football this year. As much as 2k likes micro transactions, a CB ultimate team mode might make them back most of the money needed to develop it. They know how to squeeze folks for cash- and there is a loyal subset of fans who would be ripe for this
A college basketball game could work if they release a game and then just release DLC every year and maybe a new game every 3-5 years!
Believe it or not that was the original intent of Rory Mcilroy Golf and they abandoned that quickly. Also they will release a game every year it’s profitable, why wouldn’t they minor tweaks and people will pay 60$ just ask 2k and madden developers
I miss all the college games
I’ve wanted this game back more than college football tbh. I miss college basketball so much
EA can do the college football and let 2K do the basketball
Facts
Add skins/repackaging to 2K as a DLC to cover for the cost of licensing. Would happily buy this.
I am the biggest college hoops video game fan you'll ever meet. I played 2k8 and NCAA CBB and prior 2K CH titles more hours than I can count over the past 16 years. I still play NCAA CBB because my 2k CH disc doesn't work anymore lol. I've followed the possibility of a new college basketball game being released for over a decade and here are my opinions on it as someone who is also very well read on the topic.
1. Revenue is king, and like you said the licensing costs alone, not to mention the increased cost of everything nowadays compared to 2007 or 2008 makes the margins very small. If there isn't a way to significantly widen that profit margin another CBB game will never be made again.
2. You are spot on about the new CFB game needing to do well. The very first step to even entertaining another CBB game by either 2K or EA is the sales numbers for the CFB game need to be blown out of the water. If that game doesn't vastly exceed sales expectations there won't be a sniff of a potential CBB game possibly ever again. But I do think the CFB game will sell very well.
3. The only way I think a CBB game could be made again is if it is microtransactioned to death and they are able to keep licensing costs as minimal as possible, likely meaning not every conference is included. NBA 2K has been a mainstay because it has zero competition and it relies on revenue from microtransactions post purchase. I think one of the only ways another CBB game installment would be signed off on is to offer a ton of post-purchase revenue streams within the game. I actually do not think a CBB game could make a viable profit for EA or 2K without that secondary stream.
4. As much as I'd love to see a CBB game return, I just don't see it happening. Everything with the NIL lawsuit outcome made a project like this so cost-prohibitive that basically any college sport other than football was killed and buried from it. The resources needed, the ground-up development required since a CBB game is 16 years removed from production, the licensing and player NIL agreement negotiations, it all adds up quickly. Don't hold your breath. The only thing we as CBB video game fans can really do is buy the CFB game in August and hope for the best in 2025 or 2026 for a CBB title.
EA had never made a college hockey video game
And they never will. A small percentage of college teams even have hockey. Maybe club hockey but what kind of game would that be?
College Hoops 2K needs to Return asap!!
I really hope college basketball returns
That all depends on how the new College Football video game goes.
26k just announced he's started working on an indie college basketball game.
Great content! Keep up the tremendous work.
Imagine we get an online league with transfer portal, all games with NIT in season, conference games, with top 25 polls, hardest place to play, edit your own coaching staff, your own system, etc. I am a BIG basketball fan and include I coach irl basketball. This would be exciting to get back.
You just hit it on the head!!!
NCAA 14 was their only game that broke the 1 million copies sold in a year most averaged around 400,000
I really would like to see the College basketball game return. I actually had a copy of the college baseball game on PS2 back in 05 or 06 it wasn’t bad
An updated college basketball game would be great. I still play college hoops2k8 on the Xbox 360 and coach K college basketball for the sega genesis 😂
I do too I'm never getting rid of it 😂
I always preferred 2k7 idk why
Yeah College Hoops 2k8 was fun
Coach K.... them running corner 3s boooyyyyyy!!!! You just unlocked core memories
Watching March madness makes me want this game again. I wish they would make a new one.
My favorite game was March Madness 2007 for the Xbox.
Iam ok with college basketball not being a every year release game
I doubt players and schools lower their license fees
But hopefully college football will be a big success
I think it will be announced at the end of the college football trailer this may as a teaser
That will 100% not be the case, you don’t include information about a completely different game in a game trailer
We need it to come back asap
yeah I remember back in the day I didn’t really understand why they stopped making college games…..popularity would’ve been my last guess cause at the time I was living in North Carolina where college basketball is SUPER popular lol 🤷♂️
Ncaa returning may be the biggest success in sports gaming in a very long time. Which will lead to a NCAA basketball game returning sooner than what we think at this point.
Hope you're right.
Well hey for now let's just enjoy playing college basketball 10.
Mam I was just playing this game over the weekend! He'll yeah we need college back!
Bring back NCAA basketball baseball and hockey
We would buy them all they are trippin
2k would be a crazy college hoops game .
Facts
Given that there is currently a void in the market for a college basketball video game(s), I think 2K could really bring the College Hoops franchise back...especially with how well women's college basketball is doing right now, and 2K already features the WNBA in the NBA 2K franchise. In addition, EA Sports did feature women's college basketball in March Madness ['98]. Also, I'd like to see College Slam make a return, in-some-form. 😎👉❤🔥
They were fun, very different than NBA games. Very team oriented and press defense with dope post play. I loved this era.
College Hockey could be easy. Just add it CHEL and D1 hockey is no where the size of D1 FB or BB
2k are you listening
I think think EA will make a college basketball game if CF 25 does well. The good thing is EA already has the school licenses so all they would have to do for this game would be to pay the players who opt in to the game and announcers. This would be cheaper to make than CF 25 which had over 10,000 players opt in.
Bring back something that EA Sports didn't do but only 2 games EA College baseball
Hell I wish for another college baseball game
this would be a dream come true if they started making them again
MVP '06 College Baseball is still the best sports game lve ever played....and it aint even close
i cannot see it being too profitable
EA should make a college basketball came and not waist the time on a NBA game.
They only need like 15 players on a team to license them all compared to the 85 they were doing for college football
2k college basketball games were the best
They were
Anyone remember College Slam? I’d like to see a new NBA Jam/College Slam kind of game.
We all hope college basketball games make a comeback wit transferring ur players to nba2k so they b drafted
The last time we had college in a game was in 2k my career that was a while ago
I would love to see it but I don’t think EA would do it. They already failed to revive NBA Live.
I can see College Basketball coming back but if does 2K will most likely make it and it’ll have hella micro transactions but we’ll have to wait and see what kind of numbers the new College Football game does.
If gaming companies stop looking at 20+ yr old data they’ll realize a college game could bring in tons of money now. 20 years ago it was hard cause all the pro counter parts were really good. Madden was in its prime, nba live was still popular, 2k was startin to establish itself in the basketball community but was still producing baseball and football games that were reviewed well but now time has completely changed. There’s only one football, basketball, soccer, baseball and hockey game and nun of those games are necessarily good but wen there’s nun else to choose from you kinda force ya self to deal with the flaws but insert a college sports game that would change everything. Ea college mvp would blow the show outta the waters with their graphics and the details they’d put in their game. The show been on the Ps5 for 4 years now and still using ps4 graphics and their biggest upgrade was givin Derek Jeter storylines. BRING BACK COLLEGE SPORTS GAMES
i miss college basketball, recruiting HS prospect was fun
College basketball game with my player dope af have my campus instead my city
We at least need a updated version and leave it at that
I want a Super Mega Basketball game. With the amount of customization you can do in the baseball game a basketball game would be fun.
Ea make a billion each year, of course they have the funds. It’s possible even right now now
Obviously EA has the funds to literally make the game. But they aren't going to spend millions of dollars to make a game that isn't going to produce a profit
They make billions off microtransactions from Madden alone. Of course, they have the funds
You have the money to buy a tv. Are you going to buy a tv that doesn't work though? No. Same concept applies to business too.
Also Ed O’bannon filed a lawsuit in 09 for using his likeness
Man they absolutely have to bring back the college basketball series… call me crazy but I think I’d rather play college hoops than college football. The conference tourneys winning and punching your ticket to the dance. Playing in the 64 team tournament. Recruiting. I miss college hoops. I don’t think it would be to hard to do and be profitable. Most certainly would have to do a 3-5 year release and just do player and cosmetic updates for maybe incoming players and new jerseys and things. A lot less players to pay as far as NIL goes. The school licensing part I don’t really know how that works though and how much it would cost.
If college hoop video games fans want college basketball games to return, they have to support college football 25 on the day of the official launch date and buy themselves a copy of the game......even if they are not a big fan of football.
I want college women’s basketball and college softball game and baseball game. I want them focused on it give it a road to glory and dynasty it doesn’t have to as much as basketball or football but just make it good and they need to start from scratch not a ncaa 10 or 2k reboot just do what they doing with football and start over
We need College Hoops 2K back now
If they made a new college basketball game today it would sale way better and everyone would get it
Oh yeah bring it back with my player mode
I’m all for college basketball
Miss this and the baseball
If they gone do it they need to do it now as in next year
2k Can Make the basketball game
It would do well especially with how march madness is going
Your argument regarding licensing costs for basketball vs football needs to include the total player count. There are less college football teams but way more players (55ish), while college hoops teams only have about 14 players per team. So the volume isn't apples to apples.
I mention this at the 3:50 mark
College football 25 is going to sell at least 100 million copies easily
I’m sure you meant 100 million in sales.
Man they need to make a new college hoops 2k. If they done that they would make a killing. There shouldn't be an issue, and if they bring it back they need to do like they do Madden and make new college football and basketball game every year.
We must rival 2ks basketball monopoly
Microsoft dropped the bag not making ncaa basketball 10 and college hoops 2k8 backwards compatible
2k there is an itch and we are dying to scratch it.
I still think they should make at least one more 😢
There’s a college hoops 2k8 mod!
Sports Interactive would cook with a simulation game
We need the college basketball video games back and college baseball
They probably won’t bring any of those back bc those games didn’t sell a lot and didn’t make a lot of money
I loved playing the ncaa tournament 🔥🔥
Why don’t they just make one game every few years?
Those games were released during the recession
Facts
If college football game does well then maybe EA sports would think about doing college basketball and college baseball games
It'll be nice if it did
As big as March madness is now a college basketball game would be 🔥 af. Def would make more money then back in the day
It would
I want it to return
If so, please for the life of me let’s 2K do it. EA couldn’t get live right
No lie I think a college basketball game would be great rn. Would instantly replace 2k.
Do EA Sports College basketball with men and women
they dont care enough. plus they dont think it will make real money
And back when ea did do a basketball game it wasn’t good
This would be bigger than the College Football game\
I miss this!! And the woman. Games
tubby is underated
We want college basketball video games back
I think they will
I wish. College 2k8 way out dated and college basketball 10 gameplay is too cheesy 😬
I’d take this over football all day
I don't play college basketball and I don't play NBA basketball on the PlayStation. I really don't think that they would sell all that much. I could really be 100% wrong.
However, this is what I would do. I would try college football for this year and maybe next year and see what happens from there.
In football, players will transfer out. But unless you sign the #1 class like A&M did a couple of years ago, your not going to have more than 20% turn over. In college basketball, you almost have a brand new team every year. 😮
The last part is not true. Each team might get a few players very rarely is the whole roster different
