EA Access Gives You Just Six Hours Of Madden NFL 15 Gameplay

[PatsSB2015]

Wow! EA Sports brags about 5 days of early access, but only gives you six hours of gameplay? That's shady. I hope a lot of people pass on it just to prove a point that they need to be more upfront. The fact we are just finding out about this now is insulting to consumers. I seriously don't get EA Sport's mindset on this. In what world did they think keeping this a secret until a few days before was a good idea? Sure, those who purchased it have already spent their money, but you keep them from buying it next year. If I would have bought this, I'd demand a refund.

I don't see why I should ask for a refund just because of this. I have already sunk hours into FIFA. Would be shady of me to ask for refund after already enjoying the product. I knew the madden trial could be for a time as low as two hours.

The issue is in the details. EA Sports claimed you can try out the game 5 days before release. No details of minimum game play until today? There was no assumption that EA and Microsoft would pull a stunt like that. The fault isn't on the consumer, but the corporation behind it. They should have been clear from the start. It was false advertising.

It was not false advertising.

It wasn't? So they made the six hours of minimum game play clear from the start?

No they said a minimum of two hours. They met that. No false advertising.

You got triple the minimum amount of play time they said you could possibly get.

Hmm, a bunch of us must have missed that then. Well, good luck with the Early Access while I enjoy the 72 hour game play from the last gen's season ticket. I'm not sure if I'm buying Madden, but this will be a good way to see if I will.
