Something no one will guess, huh.

Every EA non-sport franchise is now part of the same extended universe; this will be leveraged in games such as Command and Conquer: SimCity at War, Mass Effect: Ecumenical Inferno, Medal of Honor: Need for Speed, Wing Commander: Dragon Age and Battlefieldstormfuse. These games will be available on PC, PS4 and Xbox One for free, but they feature an energy mechanic that you can relax by purchasing EA Access or physical figurines known as The EArls and connecting them to your system via USB. Exclusively on PS4, you can instead outright purchase a title online, but if you do that, you have to also digitally buy FIFA on your console to finish activation process, except if you already have it, then you have to buy it for your friend which hasn't got it yet. Every The EArl has been infused with a grenade to increase sales potential in the Middle East; the pin is located symmetrically to the USB cable and is pulled the same way. However, you can also purchase a The EArl with grenade removed, exclusively at Best Buy.
 
Since this is as good place to ask as anywhere, how long will this show be? I'm actually considering watching it, but the time zone timing isn't making it easy.

Good question! Geoff still hasn't mentioned anything. Although this is being streamed live, I am willing to bet that Youtube/Twitch will have an archived stream up at some point later in the day...

There was a rumor earlier in the year that EA is developing a new Skate game for current-gen consoles. This would fit the bill as a announcement that no one expects.
 
Nobody will guess this one, eh Geoff?

Prediction:

Madden Ultimate Team "Jail Bird Pack" featuring Platinum Ray Rice, Adrian Peterson, and Josh Gordon cards only $4.99 $4.49 with EA ACCESS.

BONUS O.J. SIMPSON LEGEND CARD $1.89
 
Something no one would ever guess?

EA introduces a new policy - getting their games out of 'Beta' before releasing them at retail.

Yes, PS4 would get Titanfall Complete instead (game + DLC + SP campaign = $50 bucks)

I have a feeling the announcement won't be to do with a specific game, like a trailer for something new.. but will be a service of some kind or an evolvement of the EA access?

Evolvement is a word regardless of the squiggly red line that just appeared below it.

That certainly wouldn't surprise me. I expect it to happen sooner rather than later.
Right, but you're assuming they are not hyping something up that does not deserved to be hyped. I am not.
Meaning I do not think it is going to be something no one would expect. I think it is just bullshit fake hype.
