In the near future, playing as Clemson in Littlejohn Coliseum will be a reality.

EA Sports has announced that a college basketball video game is in development, which will be released alongside their current college football video games on a yearly basis.

According to reports, the release date is slated to be set in 2028. The game will also feature both men's and women's programs.

FWIW, it also won't be called NCAA Basketball.

The working title mentioned in the paperwork I inspected was "EA Sports College Basketball". The NCAA will participate as a licensing partner but will not be in the title of the game. https://t.co/OlW2Xjhk8V

This proposal also calls for the inclusion of WOMEN'S BASKETBALL PROGRAMS. So this would be a stand-alone title with both men's and women's college basketball teams and players.
