Oh yea I get it. Im just stating that the service is more than just Madden 15, rather or not thats why you signed up.

And again, in EA's defense, they didnt say you'd be able to play the game at any specific time, they just stated when the trial would start to open up throughout the day. They were very, unspecific, so to say, in that regard.

You know damn well that "roll out across the globe" isnt referring the US. Also this isnt an availability issue. The game is available. EA/MS are just having issues with the install functionality.

When people paid for this product they did it with certain assurances. They spent their money and didn't get what they paid for. I'm not sure why anyone wouldn't be upset.

To be fair, I've gotten to play about 30 hours of Battlefield 4 & my fiancé has played the crap out of Peggle 2. I got my 10% discount on Madden this morning. I'd say I've gotten 99% of what I paid for so far, and between now & Monday night I'll get that other 1%.

Same. Mine downloaded in just over 2 hours. Rather not wait through that again haha.

2 hours, I'd kill for 2 hours lol Started my d/l at 7am pacific, and 4 hours later it was at 40% lol

Xbox Support says they're working with EA on the issue.

Thats not downloading a game, thats installing. BIG difference.

Very true, I should have used better terminology. I downloaded BF4 from ea access hub last night in about 30ish minutes also tho.

They also told us at the start we could play the full retail game. Last time i checked, full retail titles don't lock out after 6 hours. EA seems to enjoy being vague

They also said limited access to the full game. So unlike Season Ticket where you couldn't play MUT and could only play online against other people who had the season ticket program. During this trial you can play any and all features that the full game provides.

Imagine if, when EA went to charge my account for Access, I put a stop payment on the transaction. Would they still allow me to use Access?

I mean, if I sent out a tweet and said, "Hey, EA...I know you tried to get payment but I need to wait until payday. I'm working on it.." Would they oblige?

I'm paying them. It should work.

They clearly stated it would be the full game for a limited time.

I feel the customers that are disappointed do have all right to be. EA Access could have been done better. I hope the actual gameplay outweighs these last 2 mistakes.

It should, but it doesnt always. Thats the unfortunate downside with technology like this. They aren't physically handing you something, theres a lot of moving parts.

I mean I get the frustration. This is the first time in years iv been legit excited for a Madden and I wanna play the thing. Iv got Access like the rest of you, iv got the game downloaded on my console. But theres nothing we can do, other than let EA and MS know whats up, which we all have.
