Australia getting robbed 1 day of early accesss
-
Yes we pay $155 for the game, yet our clocked has been moved forward 15 hours. every year we got to play the game at midnight now it has been moved to 3pm (which is 12am US) we pay more then anything else charged for 5 day early access yet we are losing 1 day basically completely all because of time zones being punished. who's idea was it to change the time to unlock the game world wide to the US this year only?? we have paid for early access just because we are 15 hours ahead of the other side of the world doesn't mean we should be excluded imagine if the US got 15 hours added on.

You are starting at the same time lol. And you arent paying more. Do you pay 155 US dollars or Aussie? If that is Aus then you are actually paying less than me after taxes.
Sounds like you just got a gift in years past.

ummm no time zones don't work like that at all. we are not playing at the same time. I am losing 15 hours out of a 24 hour day. you are not. just because we are ahead in time zone doesn't mean we get things before you. no other game stops the midnight release NZ are are even further 2 hours ahead so they get ripped off 17 hours we should be discounted a lost day
155 = 103 US plus International transaction fees. so I really paid 160 dollars.

Game has always launched at midnight EDT.
Midnight eastern Thursday night the 23rd becoming Friday the 24th IS 3pm Friday Sydney time. -

You said you cant play until 12am US. That is when everyone gets to play. California starts at 9pm, which is 12am Est. London starts at 7pm. ect

Point is for over a decade the game was always released at midnight no matter what damm time zone you are in and now in 2023 they decided to screw people with it.. I don't think you understand that I miss out on 1 day of early access and a day I could have had off work on the Friday to play it because of this chance/ and I paid for 5 days early access not 4 days and 9 hours. it was the reason I paid $45 more and without warning and shafted and blind sided by the clock adding on 15 hours. after it has NEVER been like this and not like this for other games.

You didn't lose any hours, you get the same amount of hours as everybody else. So instead of the game releasing after the 5 days at midnight in Aussie, it will be at 3 p.m. instead

In Newfoundland midnight ET is 1:30 am Friday morning, I'd love it to be 3pm, I need coffee.
-
LOL some of you don't understand time zones I paid for 5 days early access not 4 days and 9 hours access I lose 15 hours. you guys in the US DON"T LOSE ANYTHING, I don't think you understand what time zones mean. That is like telling a kid Santa doesn't come till 3pm because of the US time so you have to wait 15 hours for him to arrive later on in the day and thinking the kid isn't losing time over it.
I lose 15 hours of game time and a day I could have had off work. American can still have that Friday off without a issue I don't think you understand. no other game delays the release madden never says 'ok lets make the rest of the world line up with the US'
-
It’s advertised 4 days early access, not 5. You get 4, just like us.
-
then it is 3 days and 9 hours so yes I lost a day basically because now I am not going to have the day off on Friday like you can. why would I take the day off and hang around til 3pm now watching a clock??? and why the hell has this changed for this year?? and only this game that it decided to change it. you realize now the servers will crash as the entire world will now try and log in at the same time.

Well that's on you then, you still do get the same amount of actual time before the game releases, just because it isn't all on a Friday doesn't mean all those hours don't exist.
Aus will have the same amount of time as the U.S. in the early access, the same amount of hours, same amount of minutes, same amount of seconds, the only difference is what time of day it is when it drops
-
that is 100% incorrect. I lose 15 hours I don' think you understand how time zones and time actually work. NZ actually lose 17 hours so they only get 7 hours out of a so called 4 days of early access. you don't understand how it works at all.
that is NOT on me the game has always come out midnight Friday. I have no choice in this matter at all had the game come out at midnight like ti should regardless what damm country you are in I would be having Friday off. this should never have been changed. it is actually illegal and false advertising as the whole point of paying extra is thinking I would have it midnight Friday.

No again you are wrong.
4 days is 96 hours, YOU WILL STILL HAVE 96 hours, they just won't be starting at midnight, it will be starting at 3, just like when the full release comes, it will stay at 3, You will have 96 hours just like every other place on earth. That it doesn't start at midnight for you is irreverent, because you will have 96 hours
-
You are the one who doesn't understand.
I am east coast US, you will be playing the game the same time as I will be,the only difference is my clock will say 12am Friday and yours will say 3pm, but it is the same time -

-
that is not true at all!! you got to take away 15 hours for me for god sake you don't get it/... it is 12am for you big deal it is 3pm for me I have lost 15 hours... if the game came out on midnight like it should from midnight Friday to Tuesday it is 96 hours!!!!!! but not it is 3pm for me to midnight tuesday for me which is 81 hours. for god sake learn maths and time zones.
by your standards your saying my 96 hours will end at 3pm on Tuesday.apperently our day starts at 3pm by your logic.
the full release is at midnight Tuesday therefore I am losing 15 hours.
Anyhow this is all beside the point. after 10 years this game has decided not to release at midnight for me why the change?? even if what you say is true it makes no sense why they have changed this.
-
Nobody gets, why you lose … I live in Germany, „my release“ is 5 am. Every other German gets the game 4 full days later.
btw: 22 released exactly the same (in Germany 6 am because we had time shift before release, this year it is after that)
-
I would love a 6am release at least I could take the day off work get some sleep and wake up happy ready to play., I get what you guys are saying by 4 days wait... so what you are saying is even the actual release will be delayed to 3pm as well??? well that is pathetic as well and even worse. that would be the only game release I know of where they have not released at midnight if that is the case. that is a joke. once again someone from Sony needs to explain why this is the case for a baseball game.
I had a nice tradition for watching a baseball movie on the Thursday night counting down to midnight for release. now ruined for m.
-
Nobody has to explain anything imo … The game releases 12 am ET (USA). Period (if you like it or not
) … and again: it was the same last year
