    EA Press Briefing News and Notes


    Need for Speed
    • Need for Speed is the first up. First thing I'm noticing is the graphics look absolutely splendid. The look and feel is very Fast & Furious like.
    • Need for Speed takes the absolute best pieces of each NFS title to make today's Need For Speed. Everything from the narrative, customization, to police pursuits.
    • Customization is some of the richest ever in the game. Performance tuning, car handling, looks. It's all there.
    • Five Action packed stories. Speed. Style. Build. Crew. Pursuit.
    • A customization video was shown, with a live action sequence transitioning seamlessly into the game. The game seriously looks THAT good. Incredible.
    • Customization options for the cars are intense. Ability to edit just about anything you could imagine.
    • Launches on November 3.


    NHL 16
    • A cool trailer was shown, but few other details revealed. We'll have the trailer (and a link) up soon on this post.


    EA Sports PGA Tour
    • Again not much to this presentation. Some brief gameplay was shown and what we already know was mentioned again.


    NBA Live 16
    • NBA Live 16 rooted in self expression.
    • Game looks much better graphically this year in motion.
    • New App will allow you to scan your face into the game. A preview of the app was very impressive with very quick results.
    • Physics based Live Motion will allow for contextual, free flowing movement. Thousands of new animations. Two years in the making, ties together physics and motion capture.
    • Completely rebuilt passing and catching system.
    • Pick and roll. Screen and reckon. Can control popping and slipping.
    • New shot system, full control to release the ball when you want. Longer you hold the button the later your release. The new meter looks very interesting.
    • New Game Mode being announced later this summer.
    • EA is committed to a reliable and stable experience (shots fired!).
    • End of the Live trailer showed a park-like mode being hinted at.
    • Game launching on September 29, same day as NBA 2K.


    FIFA 16
    • Trailer featuring real-world historical footage of Pelé is being shown to kick off FIFA information.
    • Pelé being interviewed on stage. Telling some old stories about his experiences.
    • Gameplay has been the focus of FIFA. Innovation is everywhere on the pitch this season.
    • Confidence in Defending. Better defensive shape on the pitch to break down attacks.
    • Control the midfield. Interception intelligence. Better passing and build up in the midfield. Improved counter attacks.
    • Moments of Magic. Better dribbling, more skills to create menacing attacks.
    • No touch dribbling will change the game completely.
    • Better finishing logic.
    • FIFA trainer will help you as you play to be better in game.
    • Women's teams built entirely customized for Women's game.
    • More news coming this summer.


    Madden NFL 16
    • Draft Champions allows you to do a quick fire draft and then use it for a single round of games. It looks like a middle ground between Ultimate Team and Franchise but with less overall commitment versus both.
    • Overall passing game overhauled.
    • Quarterbacks, receivers, and defensive players in coverage overhauled.
    • Body relative throws gives you control to throw balls at specific parts of a receiver. You can throw a low pass or high pass where only your receiver can get it.
    • Receivers can go for three new catch types. Possession catches. Run-after-catches. Aggressive catches.
    • Play the receiver and not just the ball for the first time ever as a defender. Can time a hit to dislodge the ball or play to tackle.

    The guys on the IGN pre show are speculating that there might be a Battlefront beta announced today like there was for Hardline last year.

              Nothing would be more hilarious after watching OS the last few months.

              But they may have brought in another legend to compete with Montana's presence (or at least his name)

                        NFS looked OK

                        I'm sure SWTOR subscribers are excited for this expansion

                            Was hoping for a console announcement or something.
