EA was also keen to display its sports portfolio, including Fifa 16, which will feature female teams for the first time in the title's history and "no touch dribbling" effects, the result of motion capture sessions with Barcelona player Lionel Messi.
Players of NBA Live 16, released on September 29, will be able create a basketball character in their own image using the firm's "HD scanning technology" said exec producer Sean O Brien.
"NBA Live 16 is routed in self expression," he said. "Your entire in-game journey is all about you".

The press conference, which also featured a guest appearance from football legend Pele, a costumed superhero zombie from popular title Plants versus Zombies and a man called Hoop Gawd who was called to the stage to give a demonstration of the face scanning used in NBA Live 16, received a mixed reception.
Keza MacDonald from gaming site Kotaku said it was "not the most exciting", while Steven Burns from Videogamer described it as "one of the most bizarre conferences I've seen in a long time".
"It would have been [a disaster] if it weren't for the Battlefront footage looking absolutely superb," he wrote.
