EA Sports, shared a mysterious tweet that hinted that a new college basketball game could be on the way after years. The short but striking post, "Bring the Madness. Let's run it back. #CBB #ItsInTheGame," was shared on social media on Monday, and the company's popular NCAA College Basketball series. The "There's nothing like College Sports" post that followed increased expectations even more.

EA Sports had a significant place in the basketball games industry in the early 2000s. NCAA March Madness starting with the name and then NCAA Basketball The series, which continued as , ended in 2009. The main reasons for this situation were legal issues regarding both licensing rights and player likenesses. Such legal obstacles had brought the production of college sports-themed games to a halt.

However, with the revival of college football franchises in recent years, a similar move was expected on the basketball side, and it looks like EA Sports is preparing to deliver on those expectations.

Although the shared tweet is not an official announcement, #CBB hashtag and the general language of the message directly references college basketball. That makes it very likely that the series will return. EA Sports representatives are refraining from sharing any additional information beyond the tweet at this time, suggesting that the company is deliberately ratcheting up the excitement as part of a strategic promotional campaign.

On the other hand, With the NBA 2K series featured 2K Games at one time NCAA College Hoops was developing games. However, they also shelved these projects for similar licensing and legal reasons. There has been no statement from 2K on this issue for now.

A potential College Basketball return from EA Sports could mean a new experience for sports game fans, mixed with nostalgia. While it remains unclear when an official announcement will come, these types of posts are only adding to the excitement.
