Really? I kind of figure that it was Sony who had to pay EA for the access to their Access.

Regardless this is a dumb move by Sony and shows them as arrogant and should make those that think Sony is all about the customer do a double take

This is nothing but a ploy by Sony because of their up coming PS Now

They know that would flop over EA Access

You do realize that EA Access is EA ONLY. And PS Now is covering the ENTIRE PS catalog?

PS Now will never be 'the entire catalog' due to various licensing difficulties.

EA Access or not PS Now is probably going to struggle at current pricing. Really not the thread for that discussion though.

If you guys have all of EA sports 2015 games why would you consider playing the old ones? I'm not being funny I'm just curious.

Nostalgia?

Anyways the service is for EA games, not just the sport selection.

Well yeah, after I submitted that post I was gonna edit it to say entire catalog save for a game or two here or there.

I don't buy them all, and I buy madden digitally so 10% off (which edges digital a little closer to day-1 retail deals) pays for almost 3 months of EA Access as well as providing early access to games I wouldnt normally try (the other sports games) and the program is for more than just sports games.

Oh, and the growing collection of free games in the vault, which even at $5 to try the service is a bargain if there's 1-2 you want to try. That's the obvious value comparison to Sony's PS Now rental service that they don't want people to be making.

Sony's passing on the EA Access really doesn't bother me at this point, at least after the preliminary information that the early release games may be subject to a limited time trial.

If it turns out the sports games in particular are unlimited access then I will be upset

From some of the tweets I've stumbled across, I'm interpreting that the sports titles will be unlimited and single player games will have a 2 hour window.

The funniest thing about this deal is mostly every video ea has been showing of their games has been shown on the PS4 😎

Thanks

To everyone looking to join the xbox early preview program, it was something offered by Microsoft and SELECTED BY MICROSOFT. So, u can't sign up for it. Microsoft sent invites to select users.

http://www.gamespot.com/articles/xbox-one-beta-program-will-let-you-test-future-updates/1100-6417866/

So, if u didn't get invited, u probably never will.

I would be stunned if the Sports games were not full access except for MUT

Just like it was for Season Ticket last gen.

The 2 hour thing is only for story driven game that you cannot get full access for 5 days because you can beat the game.

Sports games has no issue like that.

Why is it funny? EA did not say no to PS4...This is not an exclusive thing to MS

Sony said no because they are afraid it will cut into their PS Now sales. That is the only reason behind this.

EA would love to have PS players as well. But Sony throws out this bogus not good value for gamer like they want to speak for you when in reality they should have said.

We do not want to or have the means to pay EA for this and it would hurt our PS Now service which is terribly priced right now.

That's where I am at as well.


With Sony passing, I wonder if that ruffled some feathers at EA? Will XBO start getting more exclusives, will they develop on One first and port to PS4?

You never know I've had season ticket and on the site it tells you what time it expires with this they have yet to clarify it. People are asking them and they have yet to give a straight up answer which they won't because they want to sell as many subscription possible.
