I feel sorry for the people that don't know about closing out the game, I can see people even more furious tomorrow. EA should add that note to their news ticker.

Could someone with EA's ear maybe ask them on twitter? After I download it tomorrow morning, do I have to re-download on Tuesday or does it just unlock what is already on my hard drive?

Just checked the EA Access FAQ and it looks using EA Access to play Madden early is basically pre-downloading the game.

What is the difference between a demo and an EA Access trial?

Demos are stand-alone chunks of the game meant to give you a taste, but they don’t provide the full experience. When you play a trial through EA Access, you are playing the real game for a limited time, five days before the release date. And if you buy the game once it releases, you don’t need to download or install anything; you can just pick up where you left off and keep playing.

Exactly, that would be so annoying. Wondering if the game will come out at midnight for the Digital DL when the game comes out for everyone. Or if we will have to wait until some weird time that day. If so, I'll just get it from Gamestop and deal with the midnight release hell. Anyone know when Digital games have come out in the past? Is it midnight?

No you don't. PS4 games unlock at midnight PT and 3am on the east coast.

The way I understand it, it will not be available to download for most starting at 12 EST (9 PT) but rather that is when it will start rolling out to select users, continuing throughout the day. So while some users might be able to download it right away, others may have to wait longer before they have the ability to download it.

This is just based off of the one tweet, I have no other information. The reason I think it will arrive to users in stages is the last statement in the tweet saying that it "rolls out across the globe throughout the day".

Yeah I wad wondering about that when I initially saw the tweet.

Is it being released in 'waves' per time zone or by country/ continent?
