What does "null" even mean?

ZeekSlider

"Null" is a computer term for data that isn't there. That form pretty much says that it cannot find the approriate data to enter into the feild as dictated by the code.

In other words, as far as that e-mail goes, it's missing a piece of data that it's trying to find but can't. Why? Because it doesn't exist.

It's a data thing. If the e-mail you got can't find the data, that means that the data wasn't sent with the e-mail. It doesn't exist on your end.

If the data they are looking for exists on EA's then, then all is fine.

If you are that concerned, contact their Customer Support, but make sure you ask for their supervisor. I don't trust their first responders.

I agree with Zeekslider, but The anticipated date can list the date it is expected to be released, but that provides if there is no delays. I seen some games that was only a few days from released get delayed. However, once it goes gold it is guaranteed to come out on time. I would not worry too much about the date.
