Apologies for the lag time between posts - here in LA for E3, where it's been a busy, but enjoyable, week for us here at EA. 

I had a blast at our E3 press conference on Monday, showcasing NBA LIVE 09 and Tiger Woods PGA TOUR All-Play in front of more than 1,000 media and analysts at the Orpheum Theater here in LA.  Click here to check out the webcast on G4 if you missed it.

It was a real treat to welcome NBA Hall of Famer Bill Walton and LPGA pro Natalie Gulbis on stage to help with the demos. 

With Dynamic DNA in NBA LIVE - an innovation that helps us integrate authentic behavior and tendencies of every NBA player and team by using the real-world data used by NBA teams in game ... and then updating it daily via online updates - we're investing heavily developing connected experiences for the online gamer as well as delivering unparalleled quality and authenticity in gameplay. 

For those of you that have not seen the press conference, seeing Bill Walton in full swing is a sight to behold, and well worth your time to watch and enjoy. As you will see from the footage, Bill really got animated about such diverse issues as Spore, anti-smoking, Kobe, Phoenix Suns, Grateful Dead, the unpredictability of sports - all in about 90 seconds. He was a blast to be on stage with, and even more fun down in the Green Room, where he regaled us with stories of his time under the great John Wooden at UCLA .

Our Tiger Woods game is probably the best example of our new direction on the Wii with All-Play, with games that are built from the ground up with unique controls, presentations and modes.  With the help of PGA Tour pro Natalie Gulbis, we showed how a duffer like me and a pro like Natalie can compete on an even playing field.

Here's a taste of the scene backstage from our green rooms with Natalie and Bill, where we talked basketball and golf, as well as rehearsed our presentation.

 

 

And then in front of the bright lights of the Orpheum Theatre.

I have a full SEC league going, everyone had finally finished up all of their tasks for week 1 and had ready to advance set. When I advanced to week 2 - Two of the user controlled teams games had been simmed and instead of the wins they had earned in week one...they both now had losses and were 0- 1 with completely different scores and stats than what was there before.

All of the other user controlled teams scores and stats were correct. Anyone have any suggestions(besides the usual EA ****) as to what might have happened because I am now dealing with a mutiny.

Please make an Ole Miss Rebels group in the EA Sports World groups section. Every team from the SEC has it's own group, except for Ole Miss. That is a little crazy. Please fix this. Thanks.

Hey I Love the new NCAA Football game. However I am dismayed to find that the numbers on the Iowa Hawkeye home jersey's are yellow when they should be White. Thanks
