My thoughts on the EA Press Conference Stuck

Here are some random thoughts from EA Sports portion of the EA press conference:

Need for Speed Shift looks like it could be pretty freaking good. We'll see, but I liked a lot of what I saw in the brief moment we got to see the game in action.

Fight Night Round 4 is going to be quicker than Fight Night Round 3...obviously. Video, just as with every other one, was really freaking good. Strategy these guys are talking about could be huge, in short: it has the potential to be the best game of the year. It's launching on June 25, I can't wait.

EA Sports MMA, 2010 release. 'Will feature an authentic and broad mixed martial arts experience,' according to Moore. Vast array of top fighters from around the world. No other details. Not sure what to think about this with no UFC license, but if it's quality, it will be a huge hit.

Online franchise is EVERYWHERE. Did I see an iPhone app? Heck yes! My hype level just went up 1000% for Madden. This only got a few seconds worth of coverage in the press conference (30 seconds or so) but was easily the most impressive portion.

EA Sports Active expansion pack by the end of the year. Most of my family members want one. With 30 new exercises, I could see this becoming a rock band type of thing as we move along.

Grand Slam Tennis and Pete Sampras. Was pretty funny seeing Sampras play the Wii. Game looks to be pretty decent, but I'm not getting the huge hit vibes from it.

What did you think about the EA Sports portion of the press conference?

I thought it was pretty good, NFS Shift looks pretty good. I dont care about online franchise cause i dont have an internet connection to my ps3, but i know alot of ppl were counting on this announcement and were really excited about it.

Anything online, Wii, or requiring peripherals are completely off my radar. Just from the sound of things, EA is going for flash again over substance. Could be good for the company with the popularity of the Wii and the market for decent sports games.
