Though I'd offered a solution for EAV, I haven't gone that route in quite some time (usually only for dynamic surveying tools where the forms / fields are updated by the client daily or weekly). Otherwise I generally agree with Ken. Unless absolutely necessary, EAV is quite messy and can get painfully inefficient (in coding and query times) if not watched closely. I've been offering clients a tool up to update the CRUD tables / fields. It helps that the queries throughout my framework are dynamic and automatically include any new / updated fields in all cached and live queries.
