I still don't get the perks of digital games. It is nice you get it right away and you can pre-download. Maybe it is just not for me.

1. You can't trade it in later if you beat it or the next version comes out with sports games (no resale value).
2. I am pretty sure they take up more space on the hard drive.
3. I personally like the old school aspect of a physical copy of a game, and picking a game up at a game store.

What do you guys like about the digital copies besides the accessibility?

Trade in has no value and the convenience of not having to change disks is big when you play multiple games a day.
I have x1 and PS4 so on Xbox being able to just say go to madden go to 2k go to halo and not getting up to insert a disk is nice as well on PS4 only having to hit the home button and not go input a new disk.

Then the being able to play at midnight is a small bonus and it saves a drawer in my room that now isn't filled with game cases.

Also the space taken up is the same so number 2 is completely inaccurate.

I'm old school I guess, I have to have the actual game! Lol. I don't mind getting up and putting in a new one. Sometimes I wish I still had my ps2, loved the hp games!

They're still technically working on it. I'd say it'll go gold within the next 2-3 weeks. Once it does, they'll be able to say definitively what the size is. (I'm expecting it'll be between 24-26 GB's though). Just dont ask where those numbers came from. lol

Considering the size of 14, I think you'll be closer if you double that.

Again, this is why I have the disclaimer of don't ask where the numbers came from. lol

Yeah, I get you. I couldn't point to an actual number with any more certainty than anyone else here. I was just adding what I think might be a more accurate estimation given what we've seen (The Show 14 was around 42GB, I believe, and other sports games seem to hover in that 40-50GB range as well...Yikes!).

Either way, the previous poster's reference to it being a "monster" isn't too far off, I guess...lol.

40GB isnt a monster. For the overly lucky people like me anyway. The sooner Google takes over the ISP world completely the better life will be.

So it unlocks at 12:00am, correct? Which 12:00am is that? Eastern? Pacific? Your personal time zone?

Is it at 12:00am Eastern and then if I'm in California I can play it at 9pm?


I'm just assuming once your time zone hits 12:00am it'll unlock, but it'd be nice to know for sure.

Expect 12am PST. It could be EST though and if it is i believe it does indeed unlock at 9pm on the west coast then.

All of the ones I have downloaded have been playable at 12am Eastern.

My guess would be 12 am ET (9pm PT) My email confirmation for my digital pre-order said :


Expected Playable Date: 03/30/2015 @ 10:00 PM

Im in Mountain Time so that is 12am ET. Ive preordered and pre loaded games in the past and the expected playable time/date has been on point so far.

Sweet. This is what I was hoping for. I live in Kansas and get off work at 1030pm, so if it unlocks here at 11pm, I'm playing the second I get home.

I'll hope this is the case unless someone tells me otherwise.
