Next up was Fifa 18


We got a reveal trailer showing off their new animations and signature moves, which aim to make each team feel more distinct and closer to its real-life counterpart. Like Madden 18, the game will have a story mode (Hunter Returns) , which can be played in co-op with a friend and will allow you to import your Fifa 17 character.

No Switch version was talked about


Next up was Battlefield 1: In The Name of the Tsar


This year we will Get Night Maps And A Russian Expansion

The already wildly popular shooter Battlefield 1 is getting two night maps, which debut this summer. Because Battlefield 1 wasn’t chaotic enough. They also announced In The Name of the Tsar, an expansion that will add new maps from World War 1's eastern front. The expansion will add six new maps featuring the Russian army along with “the iconic women’s battalion of death.” That expansion hits in September. Lastly, they teased a new small-squad competitive mode, saying they’ll share more details at Gamescom in August.



Next up was the new Fast and the Furious game! Wait.. Um.. We mean the new Need for Speed: Payback..
What we learned of the Story wise.

The crew (Tyler, Jess and Mac) have learned that The House are transporting a car equipped with a new piece of technology that may be a key component in bringing them down. This calls for one thing: acquire the car, get hold of the tech and dent The House's plans. The Highway Heist is one of the set piece moments that takes place within *Need for Speed *Payback's single player campaign which follows the story of Tyler, Jess and Mac as they set out to bring down The House. Here's a gameplay trailer




Next up was NBA Live 18.. Yes after 2 years it's back

NBA Live 18 will combine street ball with NBA tournament play.. That's really all we know so far.


Next up was a nice surprise 
A Way Out

EA will also be publishing a new game called A Way Out, which is being made by the people behind Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons. It’s a cinematic prison break game where you control one of two unlikely partners thrown together in a common cause. The game is built entirely as a co-op experience, meaning you can’t play it solo,




Next up was BioWare’s New Game Anthem.

We also got a teaser for Anthem, a brand new series from BioWare. It looks like a sci-fi game with lush environments, big monsters and characters who wear suits of power armor. And that was it! EA says it’ll they’ll share more at the Microsoft press conference tomorrow.







And last but not least was Star Wars: Battlefront II

EA dedicated the entire back half of their show to Star Wars: Battlefront II, focusing mostly on multiplayer, which will span all eras of Star Wars. All post-release multiplayer add-ons will be free this time around, meaning that everyone will be able to keep playing the game “for years to come,” according to presenter Janina Gavankar. (Gavankar, who plays the main character in Battlefront II’s single player)

They then showed a bunch of live multiplayer gameplay set on a map on Naboo. EA says the game will have more vehicles, more customization, more abilities, more classes, and more options in general. They also say they’ve fine-tuned the gunplay so that everything feels better than it did in the first game.
