Think you've seen everything SportsCenter has to offer? Already a go to channel for most HDTV owners by default, the next big change to ESPN's daily news show is the debut of a West Coast produced edition, coming 5 days a week at 1 a.m. EST / 10 p.m. PST.

Before then, EA had its own online service and didn't want to have anything to do with Microsoft's, meaning Xbox Live sports gamers were out in the cold when it came to multiplayer.
