Most places are starting to allow pickups late in the evening prior to launch... approx 9pm eastern... I want to say GameStop did this for MLB The Show this year... digital copies won't go live until midnight eastern. Most places do the evening of pickup instead of midnight release... just more convenient... just be sure to check your receipt because there was an issue with getting preorder bonuses (if there are any) since the game was technically picked up before the actual release so the register didn't print out the codes that players needed to claim some of their items.
I don't think Madden should have any issues with this as the code should be with the game as an insert unless GameStop offered any additional items with preorder.
