In a thrilling announcement from the gaming world, March Madness is set to make a comeback on video game consoles. Fans of college basketball and gamers alike have a reason to celebrate with the news shared by EA Sports. Following the successful return of the college football video game, EA Sports College Football 25, which will debut in summer 2024, EA is now teasing the revival of its college basketball franchise.
On June 30, EA Sports took to social media with an exciting message: “Bring the Madness. Let’s run it back.” This energizing statement has sparked speculation and enthusiasm among fans who remember the last version of the basketball game. The last installment, titled NCAA Basketball 10, featured star player Blake Griffin on its cover and was released way back on November 17, 2008, for the 2009-10 season.
According to information obtained by Matt Brown from the Collegiate Licensing Company, there are indications that the new game may return for the 2028-29 season. However, this detail has not yet been officially confirmed. The upcoming game is expected to include both men’s and women’s basketball rosters, offering a more inclusive experience for players.
The enthusiasm surrounding the return of NCAA basketball gaming reflects a strong demand for college sports titles, especially as EA continues to build on its successful sports franchises. As fans eagerly await further updates, the possibilities for March Madness on consoles have never looked more promising.
