1. Releasing a college basketball game in January instead of November would be a positive for a college hoops title.

Dustin Toms: Fact/Fiction. I feel like this is a loaded question. For the hardcore college hoops fan, this would be nothing short of a disappointment. You don't want to start playing halfway through the season, you want to take control once the actual season begins. But on the other hand, for the gaming companies, releasing closer to the tournament would probably make them more money in the long run. When it comes down to it, we all just want a new college hoops game.

Christian McLeod: Fact. I consider myself a college hoops fanatic -- the kicker is that outside of the early season tournaments, my interest level in the sport doesn't peak until mid/late January. Once college football is over and the NFL Playoffs come to an end, college basketball kicks into high gear. Also, by January interest in NBA gaming is beginning to tail off after a four month play period. Why not refine the NBA engine, polish up gameplay quirks, and even add some new features to the college game? In short, use the NBA game as a beta to perfect the college game, and then use the college game to use as a beta to perfect the next year's NBA game? Seems like a win-win for everyone involved to me.

Wolverine Studios is working on DDS: College Basketball 2. The original game was pretty good. Don't know how long it will take to come out but definitely within the next three years.

man i came in looking at the title thinking 2k made an announcement...lol...good discussion...count me in as one of the late people to the party...had i known what i knew back then, I would have gladly supported this game...

I still receive roster requests every month from indivuals wanting named rosters from EA's NCAA Basketball 2009.

Use this as an opportunity to test selling a $60 retail package of a full game every few years. Then charge for annual DLC to update roster ratings (since they can't give us the names) so that the top schools at the time are always accurately depicted.

I'm an EA homer, so hopefully they can get their act together too.

Great article. I know its unlikely, but I wish someone from 2k would at least give us an answer to whether or not this is a possibility. I hate having this hope that has no base to it. I'd also love to hear an explanation as to why we aren't getting one. I have to believe the NCAA has lowered its prices, as they have no one buying from them now. Maybe it's just me, but no matter how hard I look, I can't find a reason why 2k wouldn't just put out a College version of NBA 2k. They have the Legacy mode in place, that hardly needs working on, and they have the game engine in place (with NBA 2k11 being the best representation of Basketball I've ever seen). It just doesn't make sense to me.
