Rob Jones is making sure they doing this game right by restoring that feeling when 2k use to work with EA in the 90's
With that being said I have more faith in this game then I do with Madden 🤷

Btw where is scott O'Gallagher?
Could he be working college basketball on the low
Hmmmmmmm🤔

Pretty sure O'Gallagher is also working on this game. He's the one that initially revealed that everything in the reveal trailer is captured directly from the game.

That would only make sense if he brought a lot more ex - Visual Concepts guys with him and this was a brand new studio.

From my understanding this is the same exact studio (Tiburon/EA Orlando) that worked on college football prior. With obviously some new (Jones and O'Gallagher from NBA 2K) and different people also involved.

I wonder what was the thought process of putting two more basketball focused talents on college football?

They probably won't be doing any new, radical changes to gameplay - which let's be honest most of the sports games need - but maybe they both have a background in football too?

It's like an artist being around his producers for years and soak up some game from them
That's what probably happened to Scott & Rob and bringing that 2k work ethic back to EA!

I know Scott OG is a Creative Director. Not sure what Rob Jones is. Wasn't he in Ronnie 2k's spot before Ronnie took over, so he could be a community manager.

I would have loved if there was Dev Diaries for this game, especially with the game being away for over a decade. I would've been interested in watching some BTS look at the process of bringing this job back and Creative decisions

It is what it is
But one things for sure
EA or 2k need to bring back college basketball ASAP 🙏

I would love for Choops to return, but I don't expect it. The college basketball games went away due to low sales years before the legal issues ever arose.

Now that college basketball viewership is falling, there seems to be even less of a market for the game.
