<P> The NCAA Basketball (formerly NCAA March Madness) series was a college basketball game which was published by EA Sports from 1998 until 2009 . After EA Sports' rival publisher 2K Sports cancelled its own college basketball game, College Hoops, in 2008, EA changed the name of the series from NCAA March Madness to NCAA College Basketball . The series was discontinued on February 10, 2010 . </P> <P> Like other games based on NCAA sports, it could not feature the players' names (as that is against NCAA policy / rules), so only the players' numbers were used in the rosters . Users were able to edit the rosters, putting in the correct names for each team if they wished to do so . Many player last names were built into the in - game commentary, like in the NBA Live series . </P>
