THE TAKE
Now what’s going to happen with college hoops video game….
WE WILL STILL GET A CBB GAME. But…
It will be only top programs - I’d guess ~75.
It will be sooner than 3 years EA planned.
It will not be its own game.
Will be a part of NBA 2K game.
The game itself likely wont feel so college.
Bittersweet, mostly bitter.

GRADING CRITERIA
A college basketball game mode is released in NBA 2K (not as standalone EA game), launches before 3 years from this date (before September 2028), includes approximately 75 teams, and has limited college-specific gameplay feel compared to full college game expectations.
