Electronic Arts has announced on their website that this years EA Play will take place from June 7th-9th, and this year EA is changing things up by skipping the usual press conference.
"We're skipping the press conference this year and are replacing it with multiple live streams that will air during the first two days, bringing more of what you told us you want - more gameplay and insights from teams making the games."
EA will be bringing in content creators to stream upcoming games in their creators cave, but attendees will be able to get their hands on the controller as well during EA Play's fanfest.
"Weekends are meant for play, and this year we've moved the EA PLAY fanfest to Saturday, June 8 and Sunday June 9 where players will get hands-on with our games. We'll also have content creators streaming live from our Creator's Cave in the Hollywood Palladium providing gameplay content to our players viewing online."
No doubt EA's decision to do away with the conference comes from the waves of complaints from both attendees and viewers online from last year, where developers promoted their upcoming games and showing very little gameplay. It seems EA took that criticism to heart and is changing how it presents its future titles.
No solid details have been provided in the announcement, but its safe to say that EA will stream its most anticipated games like Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order.

After Anthem's mess of a launch, EA Play 2019 is the publishers best chance to restore the faith of investors, as well as a step forward in redeeming the company's sullied image in the eyes of gaming community as a whole.
