I wonder if there will be a feature where MU doesn't recruit the portal.

If the game has Marquette beating Creighton, St. John's or UConn, it's a terrible game

Three more years of the gap widening.
Kids these days won't know the pain of assigning player names.

By then, have to assume Marquette will have finally joined the A-10

If so, I think Marquette's coach should be renamed "Shaka Dumb."
Ea making a basketball game? Raroh.
Will Crean's banner be in the game?
You get to setup your concession offerings — will hot dogs be available for MU?
I am pleased with this news, but wish they could push the timing up to.... TODAY

Natural cap of 50% of potential revenue to account for upper level closures.
Can't wait to add St Thomas to the Big East
Will there be an NIL/portal feature?
Since it's EA and not 2K, looks like I'll be getting it just to dominate the recruiting trail and simulating all the games as the gameplay is certain to be trash.

Mid-range jumpers will be defaulted off for game play then.
Like two handed set shots and underhand free throws.

When I play these games, I take the names off the back of the jerseys, ban the dunk, 3-pointer and shot clock.

Heck yeah. Wish it was sooner, but happy to see it back

Back in 1962, we didn't have video games.
I expect random 60 graded players to go 80% from 3 against us in February

If you create a Badger walk on player, he can only have a buzz cut and shoot layups I hear.

They aren't allowed to recruit the top 50 because they don't qualify academically
Looks like this is for the 2028-29 season, which is ideal since we're winning the National Title in March 2028 before this comes out.

But you happily pay your video players and that's lame.

After winning the National Championship, they should be able to up-level the program to offer hot dogs at scrimmages...
Wads brings up a good/sad point -- EA college bball sucked it big time.. with all this time, they need to blow up any remnants of it and start from scratch / copy 2k. I'll be amp'd for it regardless, but I really hope the game play isn't crap.
2028 is a ways off.. not sure if I'll create a coach (myself) or use our actual coach (Brian Wardle).
Quote from: PointWarrior on June 30, 2025, 06:35:00 PMAfter winning the National Championship, they should be able to up-level the program to offer hot dogs at scrimmages...
Let's be honest, cancelling the scrimmages is more likely. No need for fan outreach when you're champs.

I hope they have the option of "send branch campus mouth breathers into recruit's mentions making up stuff about his ACT score" when he chooses somewhere else.
Game needs to be realistic
Will we be the Concordia Marquette Gold by then?

For those who know the history of 2k vs ea in sports.... Wade is thr most valuable resource atm
I'm a man child and got the college football game last year even though I don't have a team to root for. It was a blast. I prefer to recruit rather than structure contracts 8 days a week. Hopefully the NIL isn't too in depth.
Need a scoop ticker like some of those sports games have with fake Twitter.
Except it's just racist dentist posts and Herm posting NYpost articles
There is an above average chance I spend too much time creating old MU rosters, jerseys, courts, etc.

Honestly, by 2028, social media strategy and negative recruiting will probably be core components.
Half joking, half serious, can't wait to see how NIL is incorporated.
LFG
A few hours after EA announced it was bringing back its college basketball titles, 2K responded to a post on Twitter saying that "The campus has been quiet for too long." In an expanded statement to The Athletic, 2K all but confirmed it would also be returning to the college court, potentially creating a new rivalry.
"2K is the undisputed home of basketball gaming," a 2K spokesperson said. "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."
2K please put out a game within 15 months.
2K coming up with a terrible plan for their college basketball "game" was not on the bingo card.
Their plan is to incorporate college basketball into the NBA game. Only 16 NCAA teams in Year 1, 32 teams in Year 2, 68 teams in Year 3, standalone game (IF enough people buy the premium NBA version) in 2030. Only 5 v 5 tournament play (no recruiting, no non 5 v 5 features).

All-time fumble. EA Sports has a chance to corner the market before 2K even gets off the ground.
2k doing something this silly is right up their alley at this point. How many people are still employed at 2k that actually worked during the golden age.
Should probably include Marquette, Villanova, St. John's and Georgetown since their arenas are already in the game.

I want to avoid slaps of the 5 when I go to the bench. And smile on the bench while we're losing.
It'll be interesting to see if creating a retention model is possible. Maybe loyalty scores for players coupled with NIL offers to try to emulate Shaka keeping guys?

Is there a pickleball video game? Asking for a friend.

There isn't a market for it because it is actually more exercise than the sport itself.
