EA Sports on Playstation Home
by 
The general consensus regarding Playstation Home is that is has been pretty much useless so far, though it has the potential to offer some value in the future. One of the aspects that is expected to take off is with companies opening up their own spaces in Home. Today EA announced that they will be doing so this spring with the introduction of the EA Sports Complex.
EA worked closely together with Sony Computer Entertainment to ensure that the EA SPORTS Complex space within PlayStation Home would be a compelling experience for all EA SPORTS fans, with a space designed for both casual and hardcore gamers. Gamers will be able to play exclusive new EA SPORTS multiplayer games, meet and interact with EA SPORTS fans, view daily, weekly and annual leaderboards to see how they compare against the rest of EA SPORTS Nation, as well as watch trailers and other content from some of their favorite EA SPORTS games.
This is the type of support gamers are expecting and it sounds as though they are putting some real effort into offering unique experiences as well as tying Home into their standard titles. Hopefully though the games don’t require waiting in line like the others in Home currently do.

How could Sony develop this garbage for years and finally release it only to have people find out that the most exciting thing they can do is move a chair? All of the things EA Sports will offer on Home will either be available online or in the Playstation Store. I don't understand why companies are even bothering to dedicate resources to Home. Sure the potential is there, but this has been Sony's pet project for years and all you can really do is choose from a few virtual shirts and listen to teenagers cuss over their headset. What a disappointment!

Home seemed interesting but walking an avatar throughout a virtual world, to me, is aimed at kids. I didn't drop $400 to take an avatar and go chat with other avatars in a virtual world. I bought the console to play games.
Home, or what we could consider the second coming of Second Life, would have been more appealing two years ago. This whole idea is outdated, IMO.
When first reading that EA had added a sports complex I thought that it may be kind of a cool idea but it needs to be done right. Interactive games, trivia and things like that would be interesting but I don't want to walk my avatar ten minutes to get there…..
