Confirmed. Able to download now but not sure if you'll be able to play yet. I remember a lock last year I think.

Nice! Can't wait to get home tonight and play a game. It downloaded already because I pre-ordered a few weeks ago, so I should be ready to go. Wish it was more than 10 hours lol

If you got it downloaded, you can play it now.

I did a real life match up, preseason Rams v raiders. First drive I had a lineman get injured.

How to start the download on the Xbox after following the website prompt?
Edit: Got it.

Ugh I'm so jealous of you Xbox guys.

Downloading... I hope they don't force you to play that longshot crap when you start the game.

I'm looking forward to players intentionally trying to break the game, acting surprised when it does break, and then coming here to say "hey! It's broken! I can totally sub in my punter and use target passing!"
I kid, I kid.
Or do I? :P

Hate to be this guy asking a question (not really otherwise I wouldn't ask), but did they fix the tiny nameplates on the backs of jerseys? I didn't see anything about not asking questions in this thread so please delete mods if I wasn't supposed to.

mine is 1/2 complete, won't be wasting any game minutes until i can get my wife tucked into bed tonight. precious 10 hours, and don't need any interruptions.
for you playing, leave your impressions!

You can always just buy another 10 hours if you want using another nick and subscribing for 1 month @ $4.99. I usually play 20 hours myself.

Is it me, or is there no intro scenario like in past years? My game loaded straight into a "Rematch of the Super Bowl," but aside from the logos on the field, you would have had no idea it was the super bowl... even as the game ended, the announcers talked about my last play in the game, not that Tom Brady won another SUper Bowl..
Seemed odd that this year out of any of the last few they didn't have one of those "Scenario Modes" like Seahawks v. Carolina, or Tenn v. TB like in the last few years.
Maybe my game wasn't fully downloaded or something...

Quickly played one half on all pro on competitive. I was the ravens vs the dolphins and combined there was like 7 sacks. Man coverage is tight to say the least
