If you're not from the US on Canada and you're trying to buy their versions to get it earlier... Chances are that you won't be able to play it until release day in the UK (or wherever you're from), I tried buying the US version of Madden after finding out that it's released earlier in the US than it is the UK

It still was unplayable for me until the UK release date, probably not hard for Microsoft to release it via your country by tracking your IP address to stop this issue.

probably the way they've fixed people abusing this

I thought there was a way of changing your IP address

Not true.

I've had a US account for years and always played on a UK IP with no issues at all.

There is, it's called a VPS

but that will give you a random IP address usually somewhere in asia, you can't assign yourself a US Ip Address unless you purchase one

Again wrong.

There are plenty of free VPS/VPN services that offer IP's from just about every state in America and it's not hard to connect to it via your xbox.

This is not true, I've been using an UK account on the US dashboard and have been able to play on the US release date.

I thought it may be something to do with the IP Address, if you signed up as an American to begin with that may get past the checks

I'd imagine they'd check peoples IP Addresses who are changing their locations etc

Find me a reliable VPS that offers you a legit IP from any country you want for free and i'll give you a handshake

There are no security checks. Once it is released in the US you are able to play it.

I tried the exact same technique all of you are trying for but with Madden, I paid in dollars, set up an American billing address, everything


it did not work, still released on the UK date. I took a guess at it being an IP check, which I think it may be
