It seems players on Xbox are facing unlock problems too. EA Help now states the game will be available at 8AM UTC, though they initially mentioned 6AM across all platforms. Downloading issues persist on EA Desktop and Origin, likely due to high demand. Spoiler: It’s happening.

They haven't released anything in the past decade without problems from the start. It's good to notice they're maintaining those standards.

It's not just an EA title with most of its launch problems. Sure, many releases face challenges, but EA stands out differently. They struggle even more with basic sports games.

Back then, using John Madden '92 really paid off!

It’s tough to meet expectations when there are launch problems already.

Usually I don’t treat it as a major problem unless the extra cost was mainly for early access benefits. These are common launch concerns anyway. If EA treats it as an early access issue, I’ll see it that way too. It’s not a huge deal for me, but many people feel that way. Considering EA has had several launch problems lately, I’d be okay labeling it as a typical one. Of course, most users on Desktop and Console should handle it fine, though a widespread impact would make it stand out more.

It's a significant problem. Many individuals were willing to spend more time playing, which isn't ideal. You're absolutely right that EA won't make up for this situation.

They also spent about 8.5 hours trying to release it. It seems the Multiplayer feature was blocking players' EA accounts or similar profiles during matches on both consoles and PC.
