"EA Sports releases its top 50 college basketball players of all time, and we've got reactions. What's old is always new in college basketball, a sport that has respected and honored its past for decades. That goes for college basketball video games, too. Although classic teams are nothing new for college games, this year's NCAA March Madness 08 from EA Sports is taking a look backward with its ranking of the top 50 college players of all time. Now, any list like this is going to be fertile territory for argument, so after we've given you a chance to check out the list for yourself, GameSpot's Brian Ekberg and Aaron Thomas, along with SportsGamer's Shanker Srinivasan, will give their thoughts on EA's list of the best college basketball players of all time."
With CBS and Turner experiencing record TV ratings for the 2011 NCAA Division I Men’s Basketball Championship, the video game industry is sitting on the bench during March Madness and ignoring the Final Four and the massive fan base it attracts annually. And publishers like Electronic Arts and Take-Two Interactive are leaving all of that potential money on the table.

We're sure some of you did exactly that: Simmed the tournament from EA's slick, downloadable b-ball game, and filled in from there. EA also simmed the entire tournament from start-to-finish; yet another useful tool for those that flunked Bracketology."

"We just got a peek at a Wii-exclusive series of games from EA aimed at solving the eternal dilemna of gaming mismatches. Peter Moore introduced All Play a feature being built into numerous Wii titles by EA in the coming year. We watched as Peter Moore played Tiger Woods with an LPGA star whose name I forgot. Sorry, I am sure she's like very famous and is deserving of my memory. Kill me."
