Unless they're willing to way over-provision I think this'll always be the way of it with highly anticipated franchises. People taking days off work just to play on day 1, the load is going to be many many times what a "regular" load is. So either you just try and muck through it, or over-provision so you can handle 10 times your usual user load just so you don't get this for the first few days.
What bugs me is that you can't play single player in offline mode or anything like that.
