What`s the point of pre ordering a Digital Copy?

It will fully download the game prior to it being playable. So the game will be completely ready right when it's allowed to be played and you won't have to wait for it to download.

Of course, beware, a lot of people did this with mlb the show and Sony messed it up and they couldn't play it for like a day and a half after release.

Actually (being one of those people), I saw the download for MLB didn't go live until 237 PM on launch day. (Don't throw unbased knowledge out there).

By comparison, Madden in particular doesn't really have much variety with respect to core gameplay content. Maybe 40 stadiums, little variety in player geometry, a few dozen sets of uniform textures (including rasters, normals, etc.), all the shared player audio, the entire bank of shared player animations, the QB-specific cadences, the commentary (all likely compressed to hell and back because it's just spoken word)... just not as much there to put on the disc.

No excuses. All EA sports games are tiny this gen. NBA 2K14 was around 42GB. MLB The Show 14 was around 37.5GB.

Fifa 8.4GB
Madden 25 12.2GB
NBA Live 14 8.7GB
UFC 16GB

This is not good...

And the game with the best Metacritic score of all of these is FIFA 14.

Disc footprint doesn't correlate to the quality of a game. A game's quality isn't defined by how much "stuff" it has.

This is really the basis for the argument?
