    They should announce it tomorrow (28th) if they stick to the normal schedule that EPs get announced a month before release..since we got no teaser today, then it'll be first time they announce an EP less than a month from release..EA we're tired of this just announce it already 🙃

    We didn't get a teaser today because today is a national holiday in the United States. EA most likely had the day off, and thus, no reason to release a teaser.

    So hopefully it will be today!

    Why not just skip the teaser and go straight to the trailer since it's a Tuesday anyway :D

    I think either we will havteaser today (28th) and a trailer Thursday, or what I think is more likely to happen we will get a teaser next week with a trailer released wither on Tuesday or Thursday which is the day EA Play falls on

    Trailers always drop the day after the teaser not 2 days.

    And that will only be what Marketing allows them to tell us. They are a public company and subject to Federal rules/ laws in marketing. In order to announce something it has to be made - not something they are just working on or trying to do - it has to be a guaranteed product - hence why they can no longer state what they are working on until it is a guaranteed product.

    Expansions take about 1 year of development time. You would think after 11 or so months it would be guaranteed enough to announce. I miss quarterly teasers so much. Ugh.

    It has not been a year since the last ep - though. But it does not matter how long it has been to the Government - it matters only when all the content they talk about or show is working and guaranteed to be in the package offered.

    Giving insider info on things coming or possibly coming before it is guaranteed is a big criminal offense for any public company - the fines for doing so is horrendous and people can go to Fed prison. Believe me - being a public company is serious business. Ask Martha Stewart.

    Well, if they still plan to release an EP in June they're running out of time to announce it. At this late date, I'm thinking we have a stuff pack coming in June rather than an expansion. And that announcement could be one of the 'small' surprises SimGuruLyndsay hinted at during her live stream with SimGuruDuke. Or we are looking at an early July release for the anticipated EP. Which would not fall in line with past EP release dates. The only thing I know for sure is I am soooo tired of the news blackout. The longer it goes on the more convinced I become there is something major preventing any and all progress in delivering the Legacy Edition or the big update. And both of those need to be released before new content is released. As I have said before, EA packed a lot of stuff into one month for the teams to finish and release. And all it takes is one little glitch to turn everything upside down.

    I'm just wondering if one of the announcements could be about the consoles finally getting the gallery. This hasn't been confirmed. I'm just speculating at this point.
