FIFA 15 Early Access Available Now Through EA Access with a 6 Hour Limit

[Steve_OS]

Early access to FIFA 15 is available now for EA Access subscribers with a six hour gameplay limit.

As most of you are already aware, this includes time spent in the menus as well. So make sure you close out of the game and the app to be sure the timer stops.

Play a few matches and post your impressions.

Doesn't seem to want to let me queue it up via Smartglass while I'm at work (just sits there saying loading when I tap 'Get it Free EA Access'), so I guess it'll probably be tomorrow that I get to try it out by the time it downloads tonight.

Oh well.

Re: FIFA 15 Early Access Available Now Through EA Access with a 6 Hour Limit

I just want to float this out there, in case EA actually reads anything here. 6 hours is an odd choice. 5 makes sense and so does 10, 15 does too. Let's ignore numerical logic... Right now they could do themselves and consumers who chose to do it a real favor.

If you preorder an EA game that is going to have early access they should provide you with a code, that code will triple your early access time. Now 6 hours becomes 18, the consumer is rewarded for pre-purchasing, EA gets a very possible sale, people are happy.

You could make this even more interesting...pre-ordering the game at full purchase price gives you unlimited access to the early access release. Or just keep rolling these things out with a 6 hour limit.

Can you have any language you choose or it is only regional?

This is EA we're talking about, they tend to have a history of not doing things very logically.

Why would EA want the customer to have a fun, enjoyable experience? I'm starting to think they like making a tweet & receiving 400 responses of "I hate you EA you dumb $%#&^$ $^#^".

Whenever they do a "FUT maintenance" tweet I always read the responses. Pure comedy gold. Man, people loathe EA.

as much as I would like it to be like season pass with unlimited access, the trade-off of having the vault games, trying 5 full days early, and still getting to use the trial post release is a fair enough. 6 hours does seem weird and un-"even", however I am sure they have a strategic resources team to do some number crunching to land at that number.

Or I could be way off, and they thought 5 was too short, 10 too long, so hey maybe we should go with 6.

Re: FIFA 15 Early Access Available Now Through EA Access with a 6 Hour Limit

I know I am beating a dead horse - but the thing that bothers me the most is not that it's 6 hours. It's that it a step back from Season Ticket. I love the free games and such but truth be told I would rather have season ticket privileges if I had to choose.

But oh well.

If I pre-ordered the disc at Gamestop, and then choose to subscribe to Access for 1 month, I can play for 6 hours yes? If I make progress in CM or FUT, is it saved for when I continue with the disc next week?

Pardon my ignorance, and TIA!

Correct, and you won't have to install from disc on Tuesday again. It'll still be on your machine
