Do I need to be ready to play the game at 2:00 PM EST or can I play it later that day? Is the play test only a window or a few days? How do we install the game? Does it get pushed to our EA accounts or is a pre req we need?

you can play it whenever you want. it will last until Early access drops, so basically we have skate forever right now.if its ea app, the game will show up on your library automatically
