does anyone know which legend COACH we get if we buy ea sport season ticket?

thanks

# 25 IrOnKoBe @ 08/23/12 04:45 PM

now mines says 9.23 down and0 .56 up is that good about to try out my 4glte phone next

# 26 JoshCA916 @ 08/23/12 04:48 PM

honestly anything over 10 down should be fast enough to do a gig in about 30min or less depending on the server and if you are keeping the same download rate and it's not jumping up and down alot

# 27 robbessac @ 08/23/12 05:21 PM

Does anyone know whether or not Ultimate Team will be available in the Early Release version?

# 28 kingsofthevalley @ 08/23/12 05:23 PM

I'm standing by.

# 29 Brandwin @ 08/23/12 05:30 PM

Now hopefully we don't get multiple threads asking about the release time, over and over. Although I am sure we will...

# 30 agarcia34 @ 08/23/12 06:00 PM

Exactly 24 hours from now.

# 31 RustyShark @ 08/23/12 06:27 PM

I get between 30/40mbps download, 10 upload. My downloads from xbox live are never fast. I think it has more to do with how close you are to the servers and how many people are downloading at once.

I have a few questions about EA Season Ticket:

1. The only EA Sport games I play are Madden and NHL, do you think it is worth it for me? By the way, this is the most excited I've been for Madden in a very long time.

2. How does the EA Online Pass work with this season ticket? I have the game pre ordered from Best Buy ready to be delivered to my house on release day and I know you get a online code with the game. If I am going to get the season ticket I want to be able to start my 1 player online CC with the Titans.

3. Will there be a immediate game/roster update tomorrow or does that not come until the 28th?

EDIT: My speed test showed: 18.35 download speed and 9.84 upload speed. How long could I expect the download to take?

# 33 bukktown @ 08/23/12 07:49 PM

I just checked and I have 2 days left on my subscription.

I am not a gold member anymore. Do I need to be gold to buy/use season ticket?

K, thanks.

Will there be a automatic roster update tomorrow as well?

# 35 TheBMarshall15 @ 08/23/12 08:06 PM

i have to say that ea season ticket is pretty nice. The jury is honestly still out on whether or not im going to buy m13, but after playing the nhl 13 demo im all in on buying it. I'm more than happy to pay 25bucks to have a 3 day tryout of the retail version of madden to see if its worth paying 59.99 for on tuesday.

# 36 BFL3RD @ 08/23/12 10:16 PM

I did this last year and plan on doing it again this year get a couple of bros, pizza and beer everyone pays 5 dollars to offset the cost and we get it in to the wee hours of the morning...

I could be wrong I was wrong one other time....

# 37 S C 0 0 Z E @ 08/23/12 10:24 PM

Will recent free agents like Ced Benson and Terrell Owens be on their respected teams or is that not till first update?

# 38 jbd345 @ 08/23/12 10:39 PM

Just renewed my pass. Only 20 hours to go!!

# 39 mmusi24 @ 08/23/12 10:41 PM

any idea when we find out download size? I have an old Xbox with the small HD and I have 8.9 GB free. I want to get Season ticket but if I can download madden its not worth it

# 40 Facts @ 08/23/12 10:41 PM

Is this the FULL VERSION of the game that gets released on the 360? Someone told me you only get part of the game on 360.
