Nice. I really want this functionality on XB1 as I plan to buy most games digitally, going forward.

I am really torn on this as I have a bias towards wanting to have a hard copy of something. I feel the same about books and CDs. Call me a product of the 80's and 90's I suppose.

However, I have yet to even decide about Madden 15 as they haven't given more than four sentences on CFM (and that information has been vague/not that impressive). Not to mention the rest of the 'features' really haven't impressed me at all.

As much as I want to have my first next-gen football title, I find it hard to believe that this game will impress me as much in its second (or 3rd) iteration on PS4 as Fifa or MLB 14 have on their first.

(I just watched the trailer on the PS Store link and if you pay close attention to the 'highlight' at the 0:17 mark you will see a big reason why it is hard for me to think this game will be much different from Madden 25 on XBox 360. The ball magnetizes its way into the hand of the receiver before getting laid out by a player that was going to knock down the pass. I don't know, it all just seems like something that I shake my head about more and more rather than something I get excited to play.)

Let me help you out and say go for it. Especially if you missed last year, this should be good. Even if it doesn't meet your expectations, it's still good. By the end of last gen, I was pissed with Madden like many of us were. But I had M25 for PS4, and it was great. Is it where it needs to be? No, foreseeably. BUT, it's a GREAT step forward from last gen. And M15 looks to improve on 25.

Just bought it But Do we get to download it Eastern time even if im central? So that would be 11:01 my time.

So you can preload this game. I knew that Sony had supposedly enabled it, by own experience and a lot of Googling didn't yield anything like the official PSN store link posted here.

Now I have to decide if I want to cancel my Amazon preorder and go digital. It's pretty tempting. I am one of those people who likes to have a physical copy of my games, but I have been using Steam to preload PC stuff for a long time now.

I have never done digital before and will probably be getting a physical copy of Madden 15.

Digital is so worth it. I've gone all digital since this gen began.

I got Madden 25, Fifa 14 as physical copies, but MLB, and Watch Dogs (and now M15) are all digital. I have NO complaints.
