That I was told a long time ago, ALL ranked server partners get a advanced notice of when a patch is released and are expected to have the patch available to clients on the release date of the patch. Violating this rule endangers TP's ability to offer ranked server and if EA wanted to, they could remove all of TP's ranked IP thus screwing current customers that decided to stay.
This is excatly what I was wondering.
I know they are a legal Ranked Provider and must keep the servers up to date.
Hope this a nail in the coffin.
