EA Sports drops college basketball bombshell
The post EA Sports drops college basketball bombshell appeared first on ClutchPoints. It appears an NCAA college basketball video game could be coming from EA Sports after bringing back College Football. EA Sports dropped the bombshell tease on Monday, June 30, 2025. They posted an image of a basketball with their logo on it, and the caption read, 'Bring the Madness. Let's run it back.' This is huge news for college basketball fans. It has been over a decade since the last college basketball video game came out from the game studio. When did EA Sports' last NCAA college basketball game come out? It has been nearly 16 years since the last NCAA Basketball game came out from EA Sports. NCAA Basketball 10 was released on November 17, 2009, before the series' hiatus. Blake Griffin was the cover athlete of the game. He retired in 2023 after playing in the NBA for over a decade. During his career, Griffin played for the Los Angeles Clippers, Detroit Pistons, Brooklyn Nets, and Boston Celtics. EA Sports then discontinued the game after the 2010 edition. It would go on the shelf for over a decade until now. EA appears to be bringing it back. The move should not come as a surprise to fans. EA recently brought back their college football series in 2024 with EA Sports College Football 25. It was the first college football video game to come out in 14 years. NCAA Football 14 was released in July 2013, and then the series was put on the shelf for a while. Luckily, the revival was a success for the studio. College Football 26 is set to be released on July 10, 2025. The series will likely continue to go on for as long as players buy the game. Fans will have to wait and see when EA Sports announces more details regarding their NCAA college basketball game. It will probably come out sooner rather than later. If they follow the release cycle of the last games, it could come out in November 2025.

Gophers QB Gets No Love From EA Sports
The landscape surrounding college football and amateur sports in general has changed dramatically. No longer are players trading tattoos and signatures for under-the-table money. The explosion of NIL has allowed for players to be paid, and it also brought back the extremely popular EA College Football video game franchise. Last season College Football 25 was the first iteration of the game since NCAA Football 14. The Minnesota Gophers were a middle-of-the-pack school in the Big Ten, and transfer Max Brosmer was there to lead them. Advertisement This season P.J. Fleck is turning over his offense to Drake Lindsey. The Gophers have something of a favorable schedule, but there is uncertainty when breaking in a new quarterback. Those behind College Football 26 at EA Sports aren't convinced either. Related Headlines Drake Lindsey gets poor ratings for Minnesota Gophers Of course it's just a video game, and EA Sports has no insight as to how well the Minnesota Gophers Drake Lindsey will play once he steps on the field. They aren't believers yet though as the team behind the game rated him as the worst quarterback in the Big Ten. It's not a shock that Lindsey wouldn't be ahead of names like Drew Allar, Nico Iamaleava, or Dante Moore. It is a substantial shock that the game put him last, and did so behind former Minnesota quarterback Athan Kaliakmanis. Advertisement Last season Kaliakmanis and his Rutgers teammates knocked off Fleck and the Gophers. He threw for 2,696 yards and 18 touchdowns with seven picks during his first season with the Scarlett Knights. His 53.9 completion rate was still just as poor as it was during his time with the Gophers (53.3%). There is little reason to believe Lindsey can't be a better or more productive passer. Fleck brought Brosmer in for Minnesota and the grad transfer turned in one of the best quarterback seasons in Gophers history. He threw for 2,828 yards with 18 touchdowns and did so at a 66.5% clip. Lindsey doesn't have to uphold that same bar, but he got an up close look at what a good level of success looks like. As a freshman last season Lindsey competed in three games throwing five passes. He completed four of them for 50 yards including his first collegiate touchdown pass. There will be many more of those this year, and seeing Lindsey ascend the list in year one would not be a shock in the slightest. Related Headlines

EA Sports College Football 26 includes major opt-out within UNC football program
College football fans and gamers were able to get access to EA Sports College Football 26 on Monday, as the game was available for early access for those who preordered the game. For fans who want to play as North Carolina, there is a noticeable omission from the game if you look on the sidelines in Chapel Hill. Head coach Bill Belichick is one of 12 coaches who declined to be in the game for this year's version Advertisement . Instead, UNC fans will notice a computer-generated "Hector Luna" roaming the Kenan Stadium sidelines. Joining Belichick amongst head coaches to decline invites: Colorado's Deion Sanders,Miami's (FL) Mario Cristobal, Iowa's Kirk Ferentz, Utah State's Bronco Mendenhall, Western Kentucky's Tyson Helton, Jacksonville State's Charles Kelly, Stanford's Frank Reich, UAB's Trent Dilfer, Louisiana-Monroe's Bryant Vincent, New Mexico's Jason Eck and Kent State's Mark Carney. This isn't anything unusual for Belichick, as he didn't give his likeness to the Madden franchise in past years of the game as well. Belichick hasn't coached in the NFL since 2024, but during games, Madden likes to reference dynasties, past history and other memorable moments to make gameplay more interesting. Advertisement Despite Belichick's long history of NFL success, highlighted by eight Super Bowl Championships and 17 AFC East Titles, 2025 will be his first as a college coach. North Carolina reshaped a large part of its projected fall 2025 roster through the transfer portal, landed commitments from several touted class of 2025 and 2026 recruits, plus stole commitments from other programs. Though EA Sports' CFB 26 release is an exciting moment for many sports fans and gamers across the country, it's likely the least of Belichick's worries right now. The Tar Heels are in desperate need of a return to relevancy, which Belichick has a strong capability to bring.
