On the final day of June, EA Sports appeared to announce the return of its college basketball video game on X. <\/p>\n

While the game, which ended with NCAA Basketball 10, will not be released again until 2028, according to a Collegiate Licensing Company memo, it\u2019s never too soon to brainstorm covers.<\/p>\n

So, similar to we did for College Football 25<\/strong><\/a>, Onward State decided to create some Penn State-themed covers for EA College Basketball 26. Here\u2019s what we\u2019ve got. <\/p>\n

Yanic Konan Niederhauser<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s keep it simple to start. The first-ever Penn State men\u2019s basketball first-round NBA draft pick<\/strong><\/a> deserves a cover, right?<\/p>\n

Penn State<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

This cover\u2019s got it all. Zach Hicks, Ace Baldwin Jr., Mike Rhoades, a pennant, a ticket, the Big Ten, the Nittany Lion, a throwback logo. EA, you\u2019re missing out if you don\u2019t use this one. <\/p>\n

Court Storm Edition<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Last year\u2019s squad pulled off a stunner against then-No. 8 Purdue<\/strong><\/a> and rallied the fans to storm the court at the Bryce Jordan Center, so it\u2019s only fitting EA puts out a \u201cCourt Storm Edition\u201d that features a Nittany Lion-themed cover. <\/p>\n

Sweat With Us<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Grab a Gatorade, get on your feet, and \u201cSweat With Us.<\/strong><\/a>\u201d Who cares if you\u2019re playing video games? You can still sweat. <\/p>\n

Return To Rec Hall Edition<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

Hello again, Yanic Konan Niederhauser. However, this time he\u2019s featured on a \u201cReturn to Rec Hall\u201d cover to pay homage to the team\u2019s annual game in the legendary arena. We can never have enough special edition covers. <\/p>\n
