And then later in the afternoon, 2K teased a new college basketball game. But, apparently EA owns the rights so who know how it will play out.

I didn't know you could own rights to college sports. So sick of EA, let 2k do something for once.

there are no rights because NCAA can't be invovled. I think you mean the NIL entity. But the EA game is in 2028 which probably means realistically 2029.

See the following article regarding the exclusive rights. We'll have to see how it plays out. Would much prefer a 2K college basketball game.

This is so far out on the timeline that it doesn't even begin to move the needle for me right now.

Agree. This will likely be out on the next generation of consoles.

I'd much rather them bring back Triple Play or High Heat Baseball for the PC.

Microsoft owns the code for High Heat. They haven't made a baseball game since Inside Pitch 2003. It will never come back.
