Developers EA Sports and 2K Games have hinted at the revival of college basketball video games. EA Sports sent a cryptic tweet on Monday that suggested it would create a college hoops game for the first time since 2009. 2K Games followed later in the day with a statement that it’s “exploring exciting new ways to bring athletes and schools to life.”

In college basketball, there's at least an opportunity for EA to carve out its own space, but that only matters if the game is fun to play. As someone who's soured on even the 2K basketball experience, I have serious doubts it will be.

Following the smashing success of the college football video game’s revival, EA Sports is going to bring back the college basketball game after almost two decades away. The company announced the news Monday in a social media post.
