    Pre Order Digital Down Load

    Hey Guys,

    Stupid question but I figured I would ask it anyway. I am thinking of using my US PSN and pre ordering Madden 17 (get is 2 days earlier then physical copy in Australia) however I fly out for work in the 23rd in Australia.

    My question is will my pre order already be downloaded so I can play as soon as it hits midnight in the US or will I have download it on the 23rd?

    Does any one know? Your help is appreciated guys.

    Re: Pre Order Digital Down Load

    You should have a few days before release for the pre download, from there it's entirely dependent upon your connection. It's kinda impossible to give you a direct answer as it varies based on ISP, line speed etc.
    Itโ€™s easier to do the right thing, than to explain why you didnโ€™t.

        It downloads sometime on the 21st and it goes live on 8/23 at midnight. If you pre order digitally it will tell you the game will download on the 21. All of the gigabytes will be on your console and ready to go active come midnight on Monday 8/22

          Hmm, Xbox one version pre-downloaded last week sometime for me. I think I ordered it on the 9th, and it immediately started downloading.

                    Hmm, yeah. Not a big deal, I guess, as you'll still have it downloaded by the 23rd, obviously, but maybe Xbox allows earlier pre-downloading? Or, maybe because of ea access on Xbox, it allowed it to download?

                      If you pre-order digitally, it should start to download immediately. Just put the system in rest mode, so it installs overnight. Or while away.

                      Then it will be "unlocked" on the 23rd

                      Edit: From this article from Madden 15, the game was pre-loadable two days before release http://www.operationsports.com/news/...at-1201am-est/

                      If anything, just keep the system on rest mode and hopefully it'll pre-load automatically when available.

                          Yeah you can download games a lot sooner on Xbox one for some reason.

                            I preordered a month ago on Xbox One and it downloaded instantly.
