Official 19 Release

Hey guys, finally pre-ordered the HOF edition after spending a little time this weekend finishing up 18 and looking through the 19 trial from EA Access. I know the official release date for Xbox to begin play is tomorrow. I've heard it may drop at somewhere around 6PM tonight. Anyone officially know the deal with that or will it not be until midnight?

Yes I remember logging in at 901pm western on a Monday and the server put me in a que that took over 15 mins to log on while my two buddies got in ahead of me with their que on Xbox

 How do you have 30 hours in of a 10 hour early access trial LOL!!!!  I have EA Access on my account and my son's account, maybe you have 2 GT's with 3 EA Access subscriptions?

I thought it came out at midnight est ? I have my alarm set should I set it for earlier? lol

I'm still trying to confirm the release. Maybe someone from EA can let us know exactly when. Thinking it is 9PM - 12AM depending on your location for HOF release. I just also wonder what the service availability will be like. I remember some major issues with a mass amount of people hitting the EA Servers at once.

Okay, can clearly see where we all get confused here. Early for physical copies.

No early release at my Gamestop for the HOF edition on PS4 so i will get it after work tomorrow. They did mention that they are having a midnight release for the regular version for 8/10.

Live in PST zone, the XBox store says 9:00 p.m. tonight.

Doesn't specify time zone, but my presumption is they match time to your location, if so that would mean midnite tonight EST.

That would be EA Access HOF edition pre-orders I believe.

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.

Says 12am est on my xbox, hmm that doesn't make sense unless its just getting released for us all at different actual times.

 Does it say what time zone? 

 In for the answer to this as well.... I'm on the East Coast.... before midnight would be great
