Fans are speculating following a post from EA Sports on Monday.<\/p>\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 leading-7 text-[18px] md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0\">Thanks to NIL and players being able to be paid at the collegiate level, EA Sports was able to bring back its iconic college football video game last year. Now, it appears they may be doing the same for its college basketball video game. EA Sports <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/EASPORTS\/status\/1939703160479637660\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:posted;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">posted<\/a> on its official X account on Monday a picture of a basketball with their logo and a simple message:<\/p>\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 leading-7 text-[18px] md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0\">&#8220;Bring the Madness. Let\u2019s run it back. #CBB #ItsInTheGame&#8221;<\/p>\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 leading-7 text-[18px] md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0\">Here&#8217;s the official post:<\/p>\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 leading-7 text-[18px] md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0\">The post instantly garnered positive feedback from college hoops fans, with many already jumping to the conclusion that EA Sports will be bringing back the college basketball game as well. EA Sports last had a college basketball game in 2009 so it&#8217;s been a longer layoff for hoops compared to football &#8212; which last had a game in 2013 prior to last summer.<\/p>\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 leading-7 text-[18px] md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0\">We will keep an eye out for any true announcement from EA Sports. But it certainly seems like you will be able to play as the Spartans at the Breslin Center in the near future. What great news should this actually happen.<\/p>\n<p class=\"col-body mb-4 leading-7 text-[18px] md:leading-8 break-words min-w-0\">Contact\/Follow us @<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/thespartanswire\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:The SpartansWire;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">The SpartansWire<\/a> on X (formerly Twitter) and like our page on <a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/SpartansWire\/\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\" data-ylk=\"slk:Facebook;elm:context_link;itc:0;sec:content-canvas\" class=\"link \">Facebook<\/a> to follow ongoing coverage of Michigan State news, notes and opinion.
