The NCAA Basketball (formerly NCAA March Madness) series is a College Basketball game published by EA Sports. Currently, it is being released on the PS3, Xbox 360 and PS2. After EA Sports' rival publisher 2K Sports' cancelled its own college basketball game, College Hoops, in 2009, EA changed the name of the series from NCAA March Madness to NCAA College Basketball.
Like other games based on NCAA sports, it cannot feature the players' names (as that is against NCAA policy/rules), so only the players' numbers are used in the rosters. You can edit the rosters, putting in the correct names for each team. When you edit the rosters with the correct names, many of the last names are featured within the in game commentary, like in the the NBA Live series. As of 2006, the commentators are Brad Nessler at play-by-play, and Dick Vitale as color commentator.
