Still playing my brains out.
That ray lewis intro gives me goosebumps every time!!!

# 263 DKHardee @ 08/25/12 03:22 AM

I downloaded the demo on both the 360 and PS3, and the 360 looked better to me. I preordered it on the PS3 from Amazon though.

Just got home from taking the wife out for the 1st part of her bday weekend. Took care of her, got her all situated, took the dog out, now time to download this bad boy.

# 265 kwankwan @ 08/27/12 08:07 AM

Any Europeans got this yet? Can't find the Ticket in the PS3 store.

My wife just started my download on Xbox360! Don't know about PS3 though... Maybe this can help you! http://www.easports.com/seasonticket

5 more hours before I get off from work

PS. Do you have time for Madden with GLB?

Hah! Well, the way HHWC is doing atm... I might as well spend some time elsewhere

At least I thought so... doesn't seem like PS3 owners can get the season ticket, so I'll just skip Madden (again) this year

Yeah, UFShowboat can't be pleased!

It should be available in Denmark though - also on PS3! Did you search for "EA Sports Central" on PSN?

I did.. and it didn't show up.

This is a quote from the Season Ticket FAQ:

What countries are EA SPORTS Season Ticket available in?

Canada, Mexico, United States, Austria, Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Germany, Greece, Hungary, Ireland, Italy, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Russia, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland, United Kingdom, Australia, New Zealand (Note that Madden is not available for Sony subscribers outside of North America)

So I guess this means it's not there.

Weird! I just know it works as it should for for the 360.

Maybe you should focus your time on HHWC then

# 272 daenius @ 08/27/12 11:24 AM

Well, I should have known.

Renewed my season ticket and tried to start the download and all I get is this message:

"There are no items available for purchase at this time."

Called EA Support and they told me it's a problem on the Xbox and they are aware of it but can do nothing about it since it's a mistake on Microsoft's side.
Tried calling Microsoft but as always stuck in a never ending loop without anyone picking up.

Just great. Anyone else experiencing this problem?

Country: Austria.

# 273 Lofty @ 08/27/12 12:18 PM

Started at bang on 12 o'clock, and it is now 4:15 and I have 24% completed on download. What a load of ****. Going to spend 24 hours just downloading this piece of sh*te.

Idea EA, if you offer a product, support it. In the case of season ticket, provide more server bandwidth.

If you're on Xbox it should work... you probably just have to wait until 6.00 CEST (like it says in the announcement)? Try again in one hour maybe

Still the same problem. It was released at noon GMT today, so it should work.

I can also see the countdown until the eary release expires, but for some reason I cannot get it to download.

EA is sending me to Microsoft and Microsoft tells me it's an EA problem - it's a complete wild goose chase.

Somehow I think it's a problem with my account since other people can download it without any problem.

# 276 Sdrawkcab321 @ 08/27/12 02:13 PM

can anyone else not connect with ea servers? i've been trying for an hour now. i have internet connection. just cant connect to EA

# 277 Lofty @ 08/27/12 02:24 PM

Im in the UK guys and downloaded it immediately so seemed to ok. Now, SIX HOURS later, and I am at 30%!! **** you EA!

I expect they have overloaded the servers, so people who are downloading, are getting ****e download speeds, and the rest being unable to connect/download.

# 278 jolson88 @ 08/27/12 03:55 PM

With CC (player), is there a way to see how you earn legacy points? I see the "compare my legacy" but I can't find anywhere showing why I've earned legacy points and what I need to do to earn more. It seems like some arbitrary number now based on some sort of achievements that aren't clear to me.
