On February 10, 2010 EA officially announced that all future NCAA Basketball games would be put on hold and that there were no plans for releasing anymore titles in 2010. That year, the game was not released on the PlayStation 2. On August 11, 2011, all online services were discontinued.

A demo was released to the Xbox 360 marketplace on November 5, 2009, and on the PlayStation Network on November 19, 2009. It featured North Carolina and Duke in one five-minute half at Cameron Indoor Stadium.

EA intended to release the game with the same 64 historical teams that were included in NCAA Basketball 09, but due to issues brought about by the O'Bannon v. NCAA lawsuit filed by former UCLA & NBA player Ed O'Bannon, they were removed from the game prior to release.
