College basketball hasn’t been available for gamers since 2009, but it’s about to make a comeback.
According to Sporting News, NBA 2K16 has acquired the license to at least 11 universities and could obtain more before the game’s September 29th release. So far, the college teams included in the game are Arizona, Arizona State, Georgetown, Kansas, Louisville, Michigan, Texas, UCLA, UConn, Villanova, and Wisconsin.
Obviously, college teams in NBA 2K16 won’t be perfect. The game won’t include real-life rosters, will only contain a select few schools, and can only be used during the game’s MyCareer mode where the player can choose where they’ll play their college ball. Still, it’s pretty damn cool what NBA 2K16 is doing despite the limitations.
It’s already one of the best sports franchises available, and it looks like it’s taking another giant step in the right direction.
