It was also the shortest presentation of the lot and only went for half an hour. I was expecting a lot of Nintendo Switch games, but the entire thing was just Nintendo Switch games! Not that I was complaining. ...

E3 2017 – EA Press Conference
Madden 18 EA starts the show by deafening the front few rows and sending a drum line dressed in American Football gear in front of the stage. I was prepared to wait through the release of the new Madden game, but when I saw the trailer I was intrigued. I’d played the NBA 16 story line and was impressed that such a thing was … a thing.
