Seriously though, I don't get the secrecy. Why can't they just tell us when we should expect an announcement? I'm not even saying they tell us when should we expect an EP or GP but at least tell us when you will announce it! They could hype their fan base eg with a big count down in a banner in these forums, or with small pictures or hints so that we can theorize about what is coming. I'm pretty sure they have put a llama in charge of marketing this game.
I'm personally thinking a countdown banner might be asking for trouble and a little too specific especially if there are delays. It's very much asking for trouble. However they could give us a general idea of a time line and a general theme. Something at least. Even just estimates, like "our goals for first quarter are GP ABC and SP XYZ and MNO, etc." always with the required addendum these are estimates and may be subject to change. But at least we would know something.
It's kind of sad that I have to point out that anything I say is only just my opinion and may be a different one from someone else.

You know they have done their budget by now. I don't get why they can't lay out some plans to fans. Like just say 'we hope' to deliver three EPs this fiscal calendar, Ten SPs, and Two or Three GPs? That's not asking so much if they are going by a budget then they know how far it will go or not.

I get your point but I'm just asking for something more specific as regards the announcement itself. When the countdown reaches 0 they announce the next EP, they don't even need to tell us what the release date is (just in case there are delays) but at least the general theme...
Am I the only one that misses these promotional
Flyers that came with Ts2 EPs?? (Sorry about the crappy quality). Back then it seemed like they had planned the EP line up well in advance and had the means and resources to deliver results in time...

The Marketing Llama is probably busy with other stuff, or it could be a complete Drama Llama!
Im really getting tired of this week after week...I really don't understand why EA doesn't let them communicate better with us more about what they are working on. So disappointing

Right? It's kind of getting annoying. The last time we didn't hear anything for this long was when they announced Pools and Toddlers weren't going to be in the game... Quick, check your game to make sure we still have everything! LOL

Never thought about that... Maybe do something like they did with Seasons and Supernatural?

That is probably never.

"What an impractical name."
Let's stand still and remember this one.

Not going to happen LOL.
You know what's going to happen though? It's going to happen that we will only get one EP this year and one GP, and more 4 SP's.
That's probably exactly the way it's going to be.
