Full game. Its just a digital download. You can start your connected career on season ticket version and pick right back up on retail version Tuesday. Everything is the same.

Thanks for the reply

As soon as the release day was announced I checked and already had a vac day in. We were scheduled for a golf tourney tomorrow but has since been canceled.
So when I get off at 7am I'll sleep until 1 or 2.. mow grass...go to store for refreshments and impatiently wait for the download to go live.

Does the EA Sports store have a online app? Want to see if I can download it to my 360 from a computer.

Yall know speedtest.net and other services like it only do a speedtest to your modem. If you have a router, especially wireless, you wont be getting that much to your internet devices. If you have wireless you might as well cut your speedtest.net results in half.

You can do a test through the PS3 (Setting/Internet connection/test Connection)
At bottom it will give your upload and download speeds.

At least you used to be able to do it. I haven't done it in a while.

Not sure if you can do anything like that with the 360 but I beleive you can do connection test and when done hit Y and see details. Can't remember what it shows though.

To the guys not living in the US: http://forum.ea.com/eaforum/posts/li....page#24703357

Show your support if you agree! Maybe next year we can be part of true early release!

Actually, it's usually NOT the full game. Some features may not be unlocked and the trophies/achievements u earn won't actually unlock unless u get the retail game, to be clear.

Through Early Access, do I have all of the functionality I have with the retail game?

Yes. 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.

Will try not to confuse but here's a brief lesson for you...

8 Mbps link = 1 MB/sec d/l...although that's theoretically, but for many reasons it would not happen. Just so you don't think that because speedtest said you have a 14Mbps connection means you can download at 14MB/sec. Again, B = byte, b = bit. 8 bits to make a byte.

Your wired link from your system to your router is likely 100Mbps or 1GBps. Your wireless link being 54Mbps (Wireless G, there is non standard Super G that does 108Mbps but anyways..) or 300Mbps (Wireless N). When it comes to wireless there's a ton of overhead bringing your max throughout down to about half of the theoretical bandwidth...but that still is very likely to trump your incoming throughput from your ISP.

If you had a weak signal to your connected nodes or devices nearby causing interference, then that's not the wireless link's fault.

Long story short, the majority of home users don't understand connections and wouldn't be able to troubleshoot why their wireless connection is not providing what should be a strong enough link to support their incoming data, but it's very capable of doing the job.

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.
