Protip:

If you can connect your Xbox directly into your modem or router with an ethernet cable, the download will go much faster than if you were connected via a wireless adapter.

I always hard-wire my connection for these events and it typically takes a little under an hour to complete the download.

That's good for me; I always have my Xbox hooked up to my router/modem via an ethernet cable.

If you log in at xbox.com I think you can automatically download it to your xbox360. I know EA season ticket is an app on xbox. maybe you can download it through that online...

Unfortunately I believe this needs to be DLed via your xbox due to that App. Only way to really regulate downloading using the annual subscription.

For having season ticket I don't get all my MUT packs at once? Read something about only getting them a pack a day..?

Through early access you will have full functionality - including online play - with the exception of purchasing additional downloadable content and the Ultimate Team online game mode. Can you earn achievements/trophies in the Early Release? Yes. Achievements/trophies you earn during Early Releases (while connected to EA Servers) will unlock once you purchase and log into the EA Servers with the retail version of the game. It's the perfect way to get a headstart on the competition.

I've found that not to be the case in terms of the features. I have the Ticket. So unless, going fwd, EA is opening everything in the games, feature wise, it hasn't been that way.

Not really, it's incentive to keep your subscription, and also keeps you interested/going back to MUT.

Makes a ton more sense than suddenly having 25 packs to open.

My Season Ticket Experience is limited, will I be able to buy hypothetically the Season Ticket at 8,9,10pm est etc. and still get the Madden early release?

I'm going to be at work til late and was curious if it mattered when I purchased the pass...

Extremely doubtful you'll have any problem. EA isn't in the business of refusing money.

As a long time madden player and mostly disappointed this generation, I am really looking forward to this version.
So much so that I paid for the season pass just to get it early.
The things that am most interested in is the infinity engine which seems to make for some great organic unpredictable gameplay.

I a oddly excited about connected careers and online as I feel that they will add repeat gameplay and variety that it has been missing the past couple of years.

The clearly nice graphical upgrade that no one seems to be talking about. Players look to be varying sizes and carry the weight that they should.

That all being said, 6pm tonight cannot come fast enough!!!

# 74 SuckaRepellent @ 08/24/12 10:46 AM

It's actually cheaper for me to get the pass and wait for Tuesday. I could get the retail Sat for 60 bucks or buy the pass, them Tuesday use my credit at best buy so looks like I'm getting it tonight.

Man I hate Xbox Live's space bucks format. Do you have to pay with MS Points? I only seem to be able to add in either $20 worth or points (too little) or $50 worth of points (too much). Would much rather get this on XBL than PSN but I guess it'll have to be PS3...

You should be able to do the $20 bucks and then the $4.99 that would be 2000.
