As others have said, if they actually want people to buy it for Christmas, the smart move is to release it in late November, or at the latest immediately after Black Friday. But most people know, when people go shopping for Black Friday deals, they often like to get as much Christmas shopping done as possible at once, so they spend money on things that are on sale and things that are not.
E.g., if EA puts older packs on sale for Black Friday, I'm much more likely to buy both packs if I can pick up an old pack on sale and also pick up the new pack at the same time, rather than having to go back a second time. Time is precious.
That being said, EA seems to like to release new packs just after holidays so that everyone is in the office to deal with any problems that come up. I can kind of understand that. Although personally, when my team at work has a deadline close to a holiday, I like to make the deadline before the holiday, so that we can meet the deadline and then everyone can actually enjoy their holiday. But of course, that's assuming you can meet a deadline with the product fully in order. No one wants to be fixing bugs when they could be eating pie on the sofa instead.
Anyway, if that's even close to what they do for a release date, we should be getting news fairly soon. So I'm kind of thinking the last week of October.
