Since 1995, Electronic Arts Sports (also known as EA Sports) created a game made specifically for college basketball. In 1998, the popular "NCAA March Madness" series began in 1998, which was originally only available to PlayStation.
From then on, NCAA March Madness took the gaming industry by storm, with many memorable features such as having the ability to create players and sending to the user's school of choice, building up a dynasty for up to 30 years, and having a "lockdown stick" in order to pressure the basketball. In 2004, the series began to fully blossom into a well respected game throughout the sports industry. By 2006, the March Madness series had it's greatest IGN rating off all time: 8.7 In the latter years of the game, sales annually declined as producers seemed to lose new innovation that would the game selling at a high level. In 2009, the name changed from "NCAA March Madness", to "NCAA Basketball". Unfortunatley, by 2010 the game was discontinued.
As a fan, I present these questions: Will there ever be another college basketball game? If so, how will it maintain interest from college basketball fans and newcomers of college basketball? With these questions at hand, college basketball should remain hopeful; for a game to eventually rise, and never fade away.
