To handle that differently in this case would almost guarantee failure going forward based on the precedent set by Season Ticket coupled with the fact that it's more expensive.
While I also expect the sports game to be unlimited during the early access period, I think pointing at the higher price of EA Access and claiming that automatically means the early access period must be unlimited as well is overlooking the fact that EA Access offers other benefits that Season Ticket does not, namely the free games in the Vault and a 10% discount on the digital release of the full game.
