Anyone do the same thing for every new release? Check out settings/rosters? Play DD? Do you take off work?

I get the download/install at midnight(ish) then head straight into an exhibition at night - NYY @ BOS. I'm the home team and will go Sale vs. Cole.

Then I stare at the clock at work until I can get home and play again while resisting temptation to read everyone's impressions (complaints) during the day.

How about you?

Release day is nearly always a day off of work for me and it will be for me tomorrow.

I am stocked-up on snacks and goodies. I am going to pop-in a Mississippi roast into the crockpot overnight and I'll be ready to go food-wise.

Game-wise, I hop around different modes early-on; probably starting early with DD and the new Storylines mode.

I took tomorrow off from work so I’ll be playing deep into the night.

My plans are the same as every year, go through rosters, look at any updated face scans, batting stances/home run animations. Check out new equipment and then jump into an exhibition game Yankees @ Mets.

Then I usually jump into DD and open any pre order bonuses. From there I am not sure yet. I want to hold off on my franchise until the roster update.

I’ll probably end up running through DD until that happens. No online, only mini seasons and conquests.

starting franchise tonight at midnight and not looking back

Day off from work.

Wake up. Get coffee and a bagel.

Kiss my better half and my kids and tell them I'll see them in a while.

Load it up. Peruse various teams, uniforms, stadiums, etc.

Look at other menu items in the game to see any new additions.

Decide between my handful of options as to which one will be my franchise to rebuild.

Get my settings to my liking and the start franchise!!!!!!

Not getting it until next week (have Resident Evil 4 coming out tomorrow so figured I didn't need to pay for it early). I always do an exhibition game as the White Sox against Cubs. It's tradition. This time though, I will be able to play at Old Comiskey Park!
