Selfishly, the only sports game I care about coming from EA is Madden 18. I want to see an all-around improvement in the game but I also want to see news on CFM. That's about the only mode I am interested in playing in and it needs an infusion of life.

My expectations is basically what we've seen the last couple of years. Some pretty looking trailers; players running around in slow motion with sweat on the forehead, close up of their intense looking eyeballs. Presentation wise some bullet point features. I guess for Madden that big feature is the story mode. They'll probably talk about making the story interactive and customizing your experience and all that jazz. A lot of fluff, but not a whole lot of substance.

In a dream world, a boxing game is announced - whether it be dusting off the old Fight Night franchise or starting new with PBC 2018 or whatever. NFL Head Coach would come back in some capacity. Obviously, not as a separate game, but maybe as a mode in Madden. I also echo what one of your writers already stated the "one last thing" announcement and college football is back. Obviously, none of these three games will be making an appearance so my expectations are low. So, if it's just a ho-hum conference then it's par for the course.

I'm hoping EA is trying to "PRANK" me and play with my emotions. I hope they announce a Fight Night game. At this point I would be excited if 2k or an indie company announce a boxing game. If it has depth, realism and a create a boxer mode they will have me and ton of fans money.

If they ever announced a new NCAA football game I think I would have a heart attack.

The biggest thing I would like to see is Madden and/or NHL for the Switch. I would love to jump on the Switch bandwagon, but, without baseball, football or hockey, I just can't do it. As for my PS4, I have pretty low expectations. I (finally) stopped being an annual purchaser of Madden and NHL (after over a decade [nay, two decades] of robotically buying every year and often having regret).

I'd love for EA to knock my socks off by announcing SSX Tricky but I'm not counting on it.

As others have already mentioned I'd love to have my socks blown off by Fight Night and/or NCAA Football (or ditch trying to compete with NBA2K and shock the world with a great NCAA Basketball Game).
Since I'm fairly sure none of that's going to take place I would like to know what's going on with their golf game - I can't remember the last time a new course was made available - are they abandoning it all-together, is it truly on a two year cycle (which I was willing to live with if properly supported), or just what is going on???
