Re: FIFA 15 Early Access Available Now Through EA Access with a 6 Hour Limit
Joet, possibly. It just shows they are not in touch with gamers. Many gamers would knock out a 5 or 6 hour session in one night.
I would guess an average time for most gamers would be 2-3 hours a night, (just guessing, I have no idea, it's most likely more, 4/5 hours a night). So 2 maybe 3 days access at most over a 5 day period with 6 hours.
I honestly think they would have way less complaints if they went 10 hours. Then most gamers with OCD could just go ahead and budget 2 hours a night for 5 nights.
It all just doesn't sit right after reading the Andrew Wilson article in the newest game informer magazine. He states quite clearly that he thinks the best way for EA to rid themselves of the worst company tag is to bring gaming back the gamers. He says in a 1-2-3 order it goes Gamers, company employees and then shareholders.
6 hours seems like a shareholders decision. No gamer would say hey gimme just 6 hours over 5 days, that will whet my appetite.
I am going to grab the FIFA access, play 3 hours tonight and 3 hours tomorrow night and then get the season pass version on 360. Without the season pass feature I think I would cancel the EA access. Oh well I bought a year of the EA access, I was just hoping after 6 with Madden and 6 with NHL that FIFA would break the mold, looks like 6 it is for the duration.
