Re: Anyone from Europe ordered the game? (Traditional thread)

For everyone who ordered off UK/Euro PS store what is your time to play ending at? Mine is Friday 23rd at 9am GMT. Seen eastern time still set to getting it at their midnight and we used to get it at ours.

uh oh, this is not good maybe they did this for us who have a ahead time zone.

I am at work now so I can't check, is it possible to get the clock up on the PSN store website??

I have no idea about that clock. On the official forum theshownation.com i also see 2 topics about that.
Looking at mlb18 liveplaystation.com i see USA can play at Mar 23rd, 2018 5AM
Time difference with europe and then in the Netherlands i can play at 10.00 oclock in morning.....so NO midnight playingtime. Guess catch a good night sleep and then start fresh.

One topic is mine. Ordered last night and was 9am UK time from the get go. USA people were on about website not console which got sorted and is just a time conversion but means nothing as time on console is main thing. So far I know UK store and Euro will be 5hrs behind when servers go live and even longer from the usual midnight.

Here in Australia last I checked last week it said exactly 6 days at midnight last Friday night at midnight. and we are about 16 hours ahead of the US

I think our PS store is almost the same as UK Europe only it is locked to a different region. last year we were able to play the game 16 hours earlier too. now I can't check the clock online anywhere right now unless I am at home to check the console. but 3 days ago the clock was saying at midnight I could play it. that could have changed though.

If this has changed it sucks, I won't be able to do any roster work at midnight as planned and I worked the next day so would have to wait til after work.

Re: Anyone from Europe ordered the game? (Traditional thread)

Re: Anyone from Europe ordered the game? (Traditional thread)

What is really annoying is 3 games come out Friday I want. I had plans to watch moneyvall Thursday night to get in the mood then midnight start working on rosters, this has screwed up my schedule. I worked Friday. When it hits 3pm
Here all of America will have the game.

We never had this Issue last year, I guess the early access has been the issue this year, but we were all
Told midnight on 23rd up
Until 4 days left they go
And change it

Not happy

Here also a non happy camper. SDS have to do 1 thing and 1 thing only:
COMMUNICATE!!!! COMMUNICATE!!! Explain things, tell us why they changed that clock.

Last year same thing at the beginning around releaseday with server problems etc, NO communication whatever!! Hold my breath for the first week.

Re: Anyone from Europe ordered the game? (Traditional thread)

Every year it’s something isn’t it ?? The one year no pre loading was in we all waited a Day to unlock remember that?
Hell knows when pre loading will
Come up they will probably get screwed up
Too

Re: Anyone from Europe ordered the game? (Traditional thread)

I just don't get the change in time. 5hrs seems random . As said some communication would go a long way.

Re: Anyone from Europe ordered the game? (Traditional thread)

So have they changed the time at the last minute to push us back then?

Nice to see also that as well as not being able to enter the twitch sweepstakes, we also can't get the free packs for the quests, because apparently "sending" digital stuff to anywhere outside the US is just far too complicated. :/

Don't really know what their problem is with everyone outside the US, you'd think they'd be trying hard to break into the market instead of screwing us over at every turn?

Re: Anyone from Europe ordered the game? (Traditional thread)

Yep, no twitch sweepstakes, no free packs quests and the grande finale: pushing back starting time...
I truly love mlb the show, so its a instand buy for me but iam hoping that they are going to treat every "Theshow lover" outside the USA the same as the US players.
