If i bought a digital copy of the game (at a higher price no less) when would i be able to download it and how long would it take?

In other words would i get it before the release day for PAL users or would i be quicker picking up the hard copy?

It looks like it's 25 GB in size, so if you're getting around 8 Mbps (eg around 800 kB per second), probably about eight hours, if I've calculated it correctly. To that end, you might be able to start downloading it early, but I couldn't guarantee that.

Man, that's the problem with EA Sports games now. The only cool pre-order stuff they give you now is Ultimate Team stuff. I'd rather just have a discount on the game lol

They'll spread out the 10 packs instead of giving you all 10 upfront like in Live 15.

That is a key difference this year. If you do pre-order, you'll have to make sure that you log in every week.

I still think EA should be rewarding owners of 14 and 15 in some way. Even if it is a bunch of UT credits, there weren't many of us who stuck with them through the thick and thin.

Loyalty bonuses certainly would encourage goodwill with a lot of gamers.

Is the game available to pre order for a DC of the game on the ps4 in PAL region?

I couldn't see it anywhere, only 2k but they have madden, nhl and fifa there

Haven't seen it come up in the Australian store yet. Physical copies are available to pre-order, but nothing on PSN, last time I checked.

Cheers mate, I will keep an eye out then.

I wish they'd do a Deluxe Edition like they do for all other EA Sports games.

What kind of bonuses would you like to see in that?

With a deluxe edition you pay $10 extra for $50 worth of packs.

That's not too shabby.

Not too shabby at all. Especially at the games release when all players have some worth.

I'd probably still miss out on my Scottie Pippen card. Fair few coins short of being able to pick up any of the ones I'm seeing in the NBA Live 15 LUT Auction house.

That's a ploy to get me to pay for something that I wouldn't pay for in the first place.

The same could be said of most pre-order bonuses. Still, I stand by my decision to get the Pip-Boy edition of Fallout 4.

Yoooo!!! I got one too for PC! I don't think I will open mine. Might be a true collectors edition that'll be worth something later.

I think I am.going to wait for the hard copy of both games, I can see the advantages of having the DC but I usually am the one of my mates who buys the game and don't fancy having to cart around my ps4 when we get together lol

I don't think I'd have the discipline. I want to use it.

I have NBA Live 15 digital, NBA 2K15 on disc. Makes it easier to switch between the two. I do like the idea of collecting physical copies, but that was definitely handy last year.

how did you purchase a digital copy? are you on the ps4 or xbox one? are you in the US?

"If" I bought...

I haven't seen it available on ps4 yet either.
