I think there's also a typo on the release date.....

How long until someone figures out how to play longer than 6 hours?

The ultimate edition grants you 30 pro packs that only says 11

Oh derp you're right. Ultimate is 30. Either way EA is throwing in 11 for free.

This is what the screen says...

Ultimate gets you 30 pro packs and a draft pack

Do achievements unlock in the EA access version?

D'oh! You're right.

Still, for those interested in MUT I suppose 11 packs are a good deal? I don't play the mode myself, so I have no idea lol

Re: Early access to Madden NFL 15 has arrived for EA Access subscribers

Was hoping to download this via smartglass, it comes up, says its Free with EA Access. So I click the purchase button, for $0. Hit confirm, then I get an error "Something went wrong. Give it another try. If this happens again, let us know by entering the code below at xbox.com/errorhelp so we can investigate" However... there is no error code..

Ugh.. Looks like I'll have to drive home at lunch now to start it..

Food for thought:

I work in the game industry, not gonna say for whom for confidentially reasons, but I wonder if there is a way around the 6 hours? Now I can play Madden 25 that I got from EA Access offline with no internet connection, so essentially it doesnt need to check for a license. I would assume Madden 15 wouldnt need to either.

Now this time is either gonna be an internal timer, or the game is gonna check in with EA servers to check on the time already spent. Essentially if you dont connect to live, how else would the game know if it cant check in with the server to record the time? I am going to play mine offline to see what happens.

Hmm. $53.99 does sound good. I was going to get Madden for the PS4 but I may just get it for the Xbox one instead at that price. Ahh decisions decisions

Xbox live is a tricky lil booger. They say there's no check ins but a lot of times you can't get into games without any sort of bandwidth.

Yesterday I could not get into Diablo when Xfinity went down.

@Instant I would assume that the console would need to be connected to the internet to even play it through EA access though right?

Isn't that because Diablo itself required a connection to Battle.net on loading?

For PC? I thought it was taken out for console pay.

But then again, I did link my gamertag with battlenet, so you may have a point.

If I download with smart glass and it finishes while I'm at work it won start the 6 hours on its own will it?
