I wouldn’t expect anything big being announced at EA Play. People here are just setting themselves up for disappointment.

Let’s examine what could be announced at EA Play:

Free content? Well they did promise that they have free content planned for the summer. However they do NOT announce free content outside of the fiscal quarter they release in, due to revenue recognition concerns. June is the last month of the quarter and it’s extremely unlikely that they have another major patch in June.

The new game pack? GP9 isn’t expected to be released until August/September. They simply do not announce game packs months ahead. The best we can hope for is that they may tell us the title of the pack, similar to Realm of Magic last year. Do not expect a trailer/full announcement as that’s not happening.

Nifty Knitting? Again, this is not expected to be released until July at the earliest. They’ve never done a full reveal of a stuff pack more than two weeks early. We already know pretty much everything about Nifty Knitting anyway and it’s a pretty pointless thing to announce to begin with.

The next EP after Eco Lifestyle? This is 100% not happening. They’ve never announced a Fall EP at EA Play/E3. The earliest they’ve announced a Fall EP is at Gamescom (August).

The Sims 5? This is nothing more than some people’s wishful thinking. SimGuruGrant literally told us merely weeks ago that TS4 is being developed for years to come. There is no legitimate chance of TS5 being announced this year.
