game that features daily updated programming and lets players take on
thousands of other players from across Canada and the U.S. Each
trivia session is broadcast from the
EA SPORTS GameShow studio
in Orlando, Florida, and during broadcast hours (found on the game's
website, below) the game is hosted live, with both classic and
current trivia questions, some as fresh as that day's headlines.

as part of its available content.
“
After
several months of Beta testing, we’re excited to move to the next
phase of
EA

provides an outstanding opportunity to introduce new sports fans from
across the country to ‘live broadcast gaming’, a captivating,
innovative form of entertainment.”

in real-time, giving players the opportunity to interact with the
on-air personalities while they compete against other sports fans. EA
