Re: 2015 season hint??

The game hint is never late. Nor is it early. It arrives precisely when it means to.

2004 (Kickoff Date: 1/10/04) = 1st Game Hint (1/6/04)

I actually totally forgot that I even did this research last year...thanks for reminding me!

And I'll add on:
8. The only year that there were 3 game hints was 2008.
9. Out of the past 10 years, there was only more than one game hint for 4 of them (interestingly, these were 4 consecutive years).

My guess for this year's game hint (yes, I think there'll only be one): Friday, December 20th (since December 21st is a Saturday).

Re: 2015 season hint??

EDIT: Pete beat me to my own data above

Don't expect a game hint until late December. The most common day for a game hint to be released is December 21st:

Quote:
2014 (Kickoff Date: 1/4/14) = 1st Game Hint (12/20/13)
2013 (Kickoff Date: 1/5/13) = 1st Game Hint (12/21/12)
2012 (Kickoff Date: 1/7/12) = 1st Game Hint (12/02/11)
2011 (Kickoff Date: 1/8/11) = 1st Game Hint (12/21/10), 2nd Game Hint (1/4/11)
2010 (Kickoff Date: 1/9/10) = 1st Game Hint (12/24/09), 2nd Game Hint (1/6/10)
2009 (Kickoff Date: 1/10/09 ) = 1st Game Hint (12/4/08), 2nd Game Hint (12/11/08),
2008 (Kickoff Date: 1/12/08) = 1st Game Hint (12/15/07), 2nd Game Hint (12/21/07), 3rd Game Hint (1/02/08)
2007 (Kickoff Date: 1/13/07) = 1st Game Hint (12/21/06)
2006 (Kickoff Date: 1/7/06) = 1st Game Hint (12/23/05)
2005 (Kickoff Date: 1/8/05) = 1st Game Hint (12/30/04)
2004 (Kickoff Date: 1/10/04) = 1st Game Hint (1/6/04)

Re: 2015 season hint??

Did anyone else notice that the event capacity has 6 extra zeros after a decimal point? I never noticed this before so it must be some sort of hint unless someone can remember seeing something like this in the past. (Insert obligatory connection to water game here)

Why do you need a game hint? We already know it's going to be a water game! Or a flying game

Re: 2015 season hint??

Game hints are usually near the end of December so probably in a couple weeks...

Re: 2015 season hint??

No, we've already established that it was going to be a corn-filled train game.

It was actually the 20th last year but going off of you it could be either since they released it both the 21st and on friday the past 2 years.

Re: 2015 season hint??

I'm going to guess either the 18th or 19th. If not then, then either the 25th or 26th. Game hints have never been released on a Sunday or Monday and most often happen on Thursday or Friday.
