The geniuses at EA thought "Hmm.. how bout we patch up all the servers first before the game comes out? And we release the client patch say, 3 days after the game is out? *squints, puts right pinkie finger on lips,evil sneer*" and voila! The game is out but we can't play online yet coz the servers are all 1.2 and we are not.

They say that our patch will come out on the 20th
