'Bring the Madness': Long-awaited college basketball video game teased by EA Sports
Following the successful return of the college football franchise ― EA Sports College Football 25 ― by EA Sports in the summer of 2024, the company teased the return of the basketball rendition of the video game in a social media post on June 30.
"Bring the Madness. Let's run it back," the social media post by EA Sports read.
According to Matt Brown of Extra Points, he obtained a memo from the Collegiate Licensing Company, which indicated the game would return for the 2028-29 season, but that has not been confirmed.
The game will feature both men's and women's basketball rosters.

Early Madden 26 beta ratings revealed — Steelers rank just outside top 10
Select gamers are getting their hands on the Madden 26 closed beta, and the Steelers rank near the top of the NFL team ratings. It's worth noting these leaks are not official, confirmed, or affiliated with EA Sports — and because Madden 26 is still in closed beta, all ratings are subject to change. Advertisement Despite a disheartening finish last season, top-tier free agent acquisitions and trades have the Steelers' 2025 Madden 26 beta rating at an impressive 86 overall — ranked 11th, just one point behind the Super Bowl LIX champion Eagles. Here is the beta ratings list in it's entirety, courtesy of MLFootball: These early ratings definitely miss the mark on certain teams, but the AFC North is definitely well respected — even if the Steelers finish last in the division. As Madden 26 player ratings continue to roll out, SteelersWire will keep you updated — and for full coverage, follow us on X @TheSteelersWire and give our Facebook page a like.

EA Sports and 2K hint at revival of college basketball video games
Developers EA Sports and 2K Games have hinted at the revival of college basketball video games. EA Sports sent a cryptic tweet on Monday that suggested it wants to create a college hoops game for the first time since 2009. 2K Games followed later in the day with a statement that it's 'exploring exciting new ways to bring athletes and schools to life.' Both developers ended their college hoops franchises more than a decade ago for multiple reasons, not limited to the player likeness concerns that froze EA's college football franchise. If both relaunch college basketball, they'll be competing in a market that doesn't often make space for two mainstream games featuring the same sports league. 'Bring the Madness. Let's run it back. #CBB #ItsInTheGame,' EA Sports tweeted. 'There's nothing like College Sports,' another one of its accounts tweeted. 2K later responded to an X user's opinion that it should be the one creating the next college basketball game: 'The campus has been quiet for too long.' Although not as successful as its college football franchise that was revived last year, EA's basketball games were among the industry's most popular in the early 2000s. But times have changed. 2K Games, with its NBA 2K franchise, is the top basketball developer in the current market and has been for awhile. '2K is the undisputed home of basketball gaming,' 2K said in a statement to The Associated Press. 'We have a strong history with college hoops and are exploring exciting new ways to bring athletes and schools to life. Class is in session.'
