Hi all,

I was wondering if anyone knows why they get it earlier? I'm from the UK and am a fan of American Football and noticed they got Madden earlier as well, which I sort of understood as its an American sport.

However, Football is bigger in Europe yet they still get it earlier?

I could understand if it was because of shipping delays and what not, but it's the digital version

just a bit of EA bs

In the US games are always released on Tuesday where as in the UK games are released on Friday. It has always been like this.

Technically they are a Canadian company but i believe the UK have a stricter controll test on games then america so it takes longer to release it.

So us Americans can find the flaws and the game will be nice and tidy when it releases to the Europeans

Fifa is actually developed in Canada, in the US games are released on Tuesday and in Europe it is Friday. Idk why Fifa is getting released on Thursday in the UK opposed to Friday.
