Latest NBA 2K Series version have released nearly a month. The new NBA 2K17 game includes Connecticut as one of the schools you can choose in myPlayer mode, where you follow your created player on his journey from high school to the pros.

You can play games in a virtual Gampel Pavilion, and then play out the NCAA Tournament against some of the nine other schools (Georgetown, Arizona, Louisville, Kansas, Illinois, Oklahoma, Georgia Tech, Michigan State and Wake Forest) in the game.

Most virtual hoops fans are pining for a college basketball game the way DeAndre Jordan is yearning for consistent free-throw stroke. The many issues regarding collegiate licensing are preventing a full release, but some talented members of the NBA 2K community are attempting to bridge the gaps.
