EA Press Conference Live Blog
by 
I’ve arrived at the Orpheum Theater in LA for the EA Press Conference scheduled to begin at 2pt/5et. Peter Moore is expected to appear at some point and talk about the growth and direction of online play while making big announcements for Madden and other EA Sports titles. Continue on for the live blog.
*Please note this is connection permitting. If the wireless connection goes out I’ll still be on Twitter.* Feel free to continue leaving comments.
145: Sitting in the theater. Wireless connection is sketchy. Hundreds of media connecting into it.
150: Did an interview a few minutes ago while in line that’ll go up on Inside EA Blog at some point. Will be catching up after for reaction as well.
WORST LIVE BLOG EVER! Damn what a perfect storm of connection issues. It went out completely in the theater. Cell phone reception was knocked out. Data on my phone didn’t return immediately after. Walked to Staples. Got to hotel where the internet was down. Ahh! Okay I’m back up now, stories on the way.

I'm watching this on G4 right now CAN NOT WAIT to hear what the new online mode is for Madden. Better have something to do with team play sure it wont tho. Can still hope tho.
June 1, 2009 at 8:55 pm
Let's hope they have something to say about Franchise mode in Madden. It may be a bit early, but my hope was that they would abandon Head Coach and roll some of those features into Madden. Replay-ability should be a huge consideration in the game.

Ohhh yeah… How are the booth bunnys?
June 1, 2009 at 8:58 pm
Would love if they just had a head coach mode in Madden. Sure they will not say anything tho this year maybe next years Madden. And it's not to early at all man just like 2 months till Madden comes out.
:):)

June 1, 2009 at 9:59 pm
I just want to know when they say full draft that means drafting rookies and stuff not fantasy draft or anything and they are going to have more than 1 seasons.
June 2, 2009 at 2:48 am
i wanna kno the same thing. im not sure if theyre gonna have yearly drafts. therefore trading might be dumb.

Pasta,
How about that news about disc-free gaming? I predicted it
However, upsets me that they are not offering discounts on the games. My guess it will be for the lower demanding games until servers get upgraded.

Does my Playstation have to be on before i can save my school???

The growth of online play really has me wondering about the possibility of playing your opponents for money. I know this already exists with gamersaloon and other startups, but I personally think their model is all wrong.
I think we are going to see a leader rise to the for-front of online video game gambling within the next 5 years… just like we've seen someone absolutely rampage another niche video game industry in the past.
Exciting times ahead. The NCAA and Madden experts might be able to actually make a living doing what they love. Then throw Halo into the mix and all the other me vs. you games out there and you've got a billion dollar market.
June 2, 2009 at 4:28 pm
i agree with you man its just gotta be reinovated, gotta figure out a way how to make it worthwhile peoples money to do it. Its gonna be about 5 years though when this video game generation gets older and has the money
June 2, 2009 at 2:39 am

June 2, 2009 at 3:25 am
If you are referring to all the videogame news going around all of a sudden, you can find out more about E3 expo on sites like IGN.com and gamespot.com. If you want the sports games in general, this is the place to be. Just refresh every day or so
June 2, 2009 at 9:29 pm
Pasta, can you try to find out if Madden will have Madden Moments this year.
