At around the 3 gb download point you can get into the game and play sharks at penguins

The Madden NFL 17 trial had issues launching the game on EA Access, if you pre-ordered and pre-downloaded the game first. A few people mentioned to me on Twitter they were having similar issues with NHL 17 on EA Access.

Anyone having similar issues?

My buddy has access and had it pre downloaded. All he had to do was go find the trial version in the store and then hit "free trial" and it unlocked the game for him.

Played a game of draft champs (not nearly as compelling as maddens). Scored on my first two shots of the game, the guy quits. I get rewarded the loss. Bs lol

How is it non as compelling as Madden's? It's literally the exact same thing, if anything I think NHL's is better because of the team themes you pick at the beginning.

I tried it out as well, haven't played a game yet. I picked Stanley Cup Champions and selected Mike Modano with my first pick and got the Nicklas Lidstrom, I was pretty excited.

Can't wait to try them out, the legend cards look really cool too.
