So does the New Zealand trick work?

Zirksee mentioned it without giving an explanation of how to do it

VioletKibbles22

You have to change the region not time zone also and it’s worked for the past two years that I’ve done it I fly to New Zealand every year just so I can play madden a day early

Cobra_Gun

So do you have a separate account that you have set to New Zealand Region?

VioletKibbles22

No just go under settings and change region once you do that the Xbox will reboot and that’s it

Cobra_Gun

I live in Central time zone. I used to live in Eastern time zone. I know it’s only an hour, but l wonder if l changed my address to my old one and changed my time zone if it would work.

Carmeisterr

It doesn’t work. Not on Xbox anyway. My understanding is the only way for it to work would be purchasing the game over a New Zealand VPN. But simply changing your consoles time zone does not work no

It works on Xbox, been doing it for years.

Enlighten me then, because like I said just changing your time zone does not work

xVxViiP3RxVx

nah it definitely works on xbox to this day unless game has a universal release time

Carmeisterr

Will give it another try this year, thanks

You have to change your region to new Zeeland. I don't believe the time zone will work.

Just change the time zone on your console to New Zealand. It didn't work for me last year, and I'm pretty sure it's a toss-up whether it works or not

Cobra_Gun

I just read that you have to create another account and make the region on it New Zealand. I’m not sure it’s worth the hassle.

You just need to change it in settings and reboot. It's extremely simple to do on Xbox. Unsure on PlayStation.

Cobra_Gun

I have PS5. Was on PS4 first part of Madden 22

yanks8981

Ah. I think it's harder there. Probably not worth it for the few hours early.

Tried it in years past on playstation, never worked for me.

If you are a junkie who needs his fix a few hours early, sure. Change your time zone on your console. It’s not rocket science.

Dang bro. Already trying to glitch? pace yourself.

Cobra_Gun

Nah. Just anxious to get started. Since they took EAplay early access away.

JJ18

They took away the 5 days early access?

Cobra_Gun

Yep. No 10 hour trial anymore

rka7731

The trial still exists. It just starts on the 16th (same as All-Madden Edition preorder full access)

Cobra_Gun

I guess it’s basically just for people who buy the standard edition then
