Upcoming EA Sports Media Event
by 
I’ll be attending the EA Sports Season Opener Media Day in San Francisco being held later this week. I head in Wednesday night with the event taking place on Thursday evening. I wanted to drop some details in advance such as the games that will be there and the coverage to expect.
This is structured quite differently than the community based events I’m more accustomed to. Several different games will be on display and the hands-on time will be much more limited. However it does provide time for discussion with the producers in attendance and to gather information on the games. I may even have the opportunity to ask some more questions of Peter Moore while I’m there.
The games that are being shown off include Fight Night Round 4, Grand Slam Tennis (Wii), Tiger Woods 10 (Wii), and the EA Sports Complex for Playstation Home.
As always you can follow me on Twitter for a running account of events. I’ll be looking to do some video content and might be able to hold a live blog while I’m there as well. You can also check out the Inside EA Blog which will be following the developments. I’m not sure if there will be any restrictions/embargoes on relaying what is seen or discussed at the event. I’m certain though that I’ll have plenty of coverage regardless in the coming days.

I'm most interested about Fight Night but I will be curious to find out how the Wii games are without having Wii Motion Plus.

Why even tell us about stuff like this because when you get back you won't be able to say anything about what you saw. It's pointless to even inform us of events like this. Look at all the guys that went to the event for FNR4 and none of them can talk about squat! What's the fuckin point then?

They'll talk , just ask them privately. And alot of the time, its not good, and definitely not as postive as theyre "PUBLIC" responses.

It was clear beforhand that there would be restrictions on that event, I made sure to point that out. This is a media event which has a whole different purpose behind it. They're putting the games on display in order to get coverage. The community events are more for feedback.

I'd like to know if Grand Slam Tennis will have online play on the Wii

It would be nice if they had a new Rugby game for the PS3. The last Rugby title EA released was Rugby 2004 for PS2.
