Every EA College Basketball Video Game Cover Player
EA Sports’ college basketball video game holds a nostalgic place in the hearts of hoops fans, but its story is tied to a unique moment in sports history.
Back in the day, players graced the game’s covers without reaping any benefits since NIL (Name, Image, and Likeness) policies didn’t exist.
This lack of compensation for athletes was a key talking point as the series gained popularity but ultimately went on hiatus after its last release in 2010.
Now, with the return of the franchise officially on the books for 2028, there’s renewed excitement as NIL policies pave the way for a more inclusive and athlete-friendly approach.
Gamers can’t wait to see how EA Sports resurrects this classic, while players now have the chance to rightfully be part of the spotlight they help shape.
The future of the game promises to celebrate not only basketball but the athletes who make it unforgettable.
