Safe to play online? 360

[MeLLo33]

I picked it up at a mom & pop store selling early and they had a sign stating not to attempt to play online before 12:01 am Tuesday or EA would ban you IP. Is this true?

There are people who say they will and won't ...no clear cut answer, but they didn't last year if it's a legit copy. If it's pirated , they can tell and your screwed.

See the thread about EA congratulating people who're online early, I'm sure youre fine...the thread might be on page 2

They have already updated the rosters so I don't think anything will happen, I've been playing my legit ps3 copy online from yesterday morning and there's a msg on the ticker congradulating u for getting the copy early

Yeah you should be fine playing On Line, I have already on PS3.

Only reason the store would have a sign like that is to possibly cover their a** for selling it early??? IDK.

I was told the same thing and I got the game today on 360

You can play online early. There is nothing stating u cant play a game online early but what u cant do is play a pirated game early because it will warrant a hardware sweep of xbox live where MS can detect if your system has been altered thats what gets you banned i got one of my xbox banned last year for having a modded system

Very HIGH scoring on both sides of the ball. It's more of an offensive battle. The rocket-catch is back in, and I have encountered some players with an adept ability to perform it. Online can be very frustrating, but exciting at the sametime. My advice; run, run, run...the human defense is not able to stop it. Games are running a tad long, averaging about 40 minutes a game.
