Do you think they will announce EP5 (Seasons) this month ?
If they announce it this or next week then they will have enough time to tell us everything about the EP before EA Play (if it's going to be playable there). Do you think it's possible ? :)

The thing is.. some people think they will announce the EP at EA play.
To me that doesn't make sense. Why?
- EA wants to market things (EP's) in a span of a few months. You can think of trailers, livestreams etc.
- They want to have several livestreams to show people what the EP is about and all that stuff.
- If the EP is also playable at EA Play, there is no NDA. People can just play the game and leak all its ins and outs before they even showed us the EP themselves in full detail.
So to me this can mean a few things:
1. They will announce the EP ''soon'' way before EA Play so they can have marketing and streams before EA Play and use EA Play as the last marketing push before release later in June.
2. They will announce the EP at EA Play and release it a few months later, and the thing thats playable at EA Play is something entirely different.
3. Nothing that exciting is coming because our 'exciting' doesn't match with EA's exciting a LOT of times.
We will see, if they want to release that EP by the end of June and have it playable at EA Play, they have to announce it real ''Soon'' in order to have the time to market the EP in a proper manner.
PLUS; the argument about holiday sales and all that jazz doesn't make sense.
We all know The Sims sells. No matter when they release. It's just the way it is.
