在今天的第一季度财报电话会议上，首席执行官安德鲁·威尔逊（Andrew Wilson）就大学篮球系列可能回归的问题回答了提问，这很可能是对上述推文的回应。据六月报道以及这一巧妙的预告暗示，EA确实计划重新推出《大学篮球》，尽管粉丝至少要等到2028年才能在屏幕上看到它。

以下是威尔逊模糊但充满希望的完整声明：

We can't say too much about it yet, but considering the opportunity, looking back at our success with College Football, college sports boast one of the most vibrant fanbases globally. This enthusiasm certainly extends to basketball as well. We are witnessing continued growth in fandom momentum for college basketball. Fans, athletes, and universities pour their passion into these sports. It is this passion that makes them special and distinguishes the games.

However, with great popularity comes high expectations and a demand for deeply authentic experiences: capturing the action on the field or court, representing the energy, pageantry, traditions, and celebrating the unique sights, sounds, and stories of every school and rivalry. We feel we deliver this exceptionally well in College Football...and we would love to achieve the same for basketball. All 350 programs, including men's and women's teams, along with iconic traditions and rivalries, and naturally, March Madness.

For us, college sports broadly represent an exciting opportunity. We believe we have done a strong job in this space and remain committed to continuing that success within the context of College Football. Based on our work with the teams, technology, and dedication surrounding College Football, we are well-positioned to replicate this success for college basketball. As we look to capitalize on this opportunity, we will be able to share more details soon.

据《The Athletic》报道，EA体育为大学篮球系列提出的提案已获得大学授权公司（Collegiate Licensing Company）的批准建议，该游戏将包含所有NCAA第一级别男子和女子球队（共计730支）。计划推出六款游戏，首作将于2028年发售，并采用与《大学橄榄球》类似的游戏模式，如王朝模式、球队组建器、荣耀之路以及终极球队。

EA上一次发行大学篮球游戏是在2009年，但由于关于大学生运动员肖像权使用的纠纷以及与同门兄弟系列《大学橄榄球》相比销量下滑，该系列最终被取消。然而，《大学橄榄球》的成功似乎重新点燃了EA对篮球游戏的兴趣……尽管正如NBA 2K官方Twitter/X帖子所暗示的那样，他们可能会面临来自2K Sports的竞争。
