College basketball fans and sports gamers alike were treated to a massive surprise when EA announced the return of theCollege Basketball video game series. Details are sparse, as we still don’t have an official release date, advertised features, or even an official title. But already, speculation has run rampant. And if we’re getting an announcement now, it isn’t a stretch to assume that the game’s release will be in the near future — maybe just in time for the start of the real-life college basketball season in November.
While excitement for College Basketball 26 (we’ll call it this until further notice) is sure to be off the charts, it doesn’t hurt to turn on the critical part of one’s brain and assess what CBB should do and how its first game back can avoid the mistakes of its most recent predecessors. While EA has nailed the landing when it comes to the return of the College Football series, basketball is a completely different animal.
