2K Already Has The Legacy And The Infrastructure
College basketball fans may ask, “Why not have EA make the next college basketball game?” Well, while we’d love to see EA compete in the basketball space again (genuinely this time, not like what they did with NBA Live 19), if you want a college basketball game anytime soon, it’s got to be 2K who makes it. Plus, 2K already has a better college basketball reputation than EA. College Hoops 2K8 is way more revered than EA’s NCAA Basketball 10. 2K can take the existing infrastructure they have with NBA 2K and go back into the archives with the College Hoops franchise and make something truly special. EA would face an extremely uphill battle trying to develop a new basketball game for the first time this decade, especiallygiven the company’s broader struggles outside of its sports vertical. But hey, anything could happen, as both sides have already reportedly explored the idea.
