I went there today and picked up my copy of Movie Stuff, and the guy who worked there ,told me TS4 will be out 3/26/14, so I pre ordered it. I'm so excited.. Yay!!!
It might just be a placeholder date. They have to have a date in their system in order to accept preorders so they put a random one in. Don't believe any 'release' date until EA gives an official one.
I watched this happen when Guild Wars 2 was gearing up for release. Almost all the game stores had the release date listed as sometime late May. In reality the game didn't come out until the end of August.

This. It might not be a random date, but at this point in what I've seen with the "pre-Alpha" and with the knowledge of previous EA releases the game is more likely to be delayed until June or later even if they do announce March.
I'd pre-order it at gamestop but when I went last time to buy it they didn't have one the EP's in stock. They were advertising it but didn't even have it. After I went three blocks down to a bigger gamestop they didn't even have it either, they even asked me what console is it for or if it's for pc. :x That day was horrible went almost a mile away from those two to a best buy where they finally had it. :thumbdown: Gamestop but their dates are accurate at times
Well, considering Sims has a solid pattern of releasing games on Tuesdays, I would tend to not believe it. I did see a release date of April 1st listed on GameStop's website briefly (it was promptly removed) the day S4 was announced, so that's likely since that would be a Tuesday. However, whatever they have planned right now could always change several times over before they officially announce it (and even then it could change, as Simcity changed last year from Feb to Mar even after people pre-ordered).
Yeah, pretty much any date you see as of right now is a placeholder. There's about 10 different dates on different sites out right now lol
Also, most likely the game will be delayed anyway, so wait until EA announces a release date and THEN wait until that date draws near and they announce the pushed back date :P

April 1st is April Fool's Day in the United States, a day for playing jokes on people. I guarantee that was just a joke done by one of the employees. Management probably took it down because it wasn't very professional to put that date up there. (Or maybe management just didn't have a sense of humor.) :P
Oh Wow, and I actually believed him.. Thanks for the headsup.
You can believe him because that is what his store has been told by EA> they don't come up with these dates out of nowhere. EA tells retail stores when to 'expect' the games. They don't make it up. However, EA is bad to delay the release of Sim games..all of them...so don't blame the guy or his store if it doesn't happen...it's EA and how well they deal with getting their ducks in a row.
And don't be surprised if TS4 looks like it won't sell as many copies on day one they delay it to hype up a million dollar or more ad campaign like they did for TS3.

Ummm i was told by gamestop that release date is march 25 th 2014 cuz EA always release sims game on tuesday.. I ask them if that day was a placeholder And they said we dont do placeholders at gamestop.... ... Of course EA can delay the release if they have to but for now that looks like the release day i mean think about it guys... It makes sense

Maybe your right, maybe your wrong. I don't know. What I do know is that I, personally, am not going to believe any release date until EA announces it. No point in getting your hopes up for something that might not be true.
Well you say the 24th I got told Friday 28th March, which kinda makes sense as the games are always released on a Friday in the UK. But like everyone says its just speculation at the moment!
It is coming out sometimes in the Spring, and March is one of the Spring months unless they need to postpone it like TS3. If they do postpone, it will be likely in Summer.
That's the tentative date (or rather March 25th), but I wouldn't put money on it just yet. Pretty much all of the Sims base games have been delayed.
Realistically, summer or even fall 2014 is more likely. They still have a lot of work to do on the game, and March just seems like it's too close for them to finish everything.
And please, people, do NOT whine if the release is announced to be much later than March. We don't want a buggy, unfinished game. Any extra time they take to polish the final product, test for bugs, or add content, can only be beneficial.

Yea that's what the manager that runs the store told me as well. He told me sims 4 was available to preorder and gave the date you said. Also for those of you buying Batman Origin it's coming out on a Friday worldwide Oct 25th.

If they delay sims 4 to Fall the store better pump out some worlds and premium content to keep me busy.

Oh I can see this game getting delayed so they can put in cast and keep in mind they haven't even turned on the coding for athletic wear yet. I was reading Grant's tweet site and he said his sim when it worked out would get in it's pj's because they haven't enabled athletic wear yet. They have a long way to go with this game.

This item will be released on December 31, 2014.
Pre-order now.
Ships from and sold by Amazon.com. Gift-wrap available.
That date is a Tuesday and just in time for holidays.
That's just a placeholder date as well. A lot of times when games don't have an official release date yet and are just said to be coming out within a certain year, sites like Amazon will list the last day of the year as a placeholder date until the actual release date is confirmed.
