Re: EA Access Gives You Six Hours Of Madden NFL 15

Sony didn't pass on this because madden was 6 hours, im pretty sure that is the case.

Overall, EA access is still a pretty good deal on a big picture level when you get full games (right now 4) and trial for new releases.

With that said, to put a limit on a sports game makes no sense, ticket was 3 full days of unlimited access. I dont see why this can't be 5 full days for a sports game where there is likely no means to an end. Unlike dragon age which will be a trial, it makes sense ot put that as a limited time trial of 2 or 3 hours to prevent people from playing through it quickly. For a sports game, bad move. The diference i guess is that ticket was $25 and this is $5 per month as an option.

Im guessing EA wants to make the $$ of course, but not going to give the benefit of those to pay $5 for the sub to play the game fully, to take advantage of the 10% discount and then bail on the sub right after then potentially go and do a full review, crap on the game and end up not buying it. Then again, didn't ticket allow that? Though the difference is the $25 for ticket vs the $5 per month for access.

Remember a month or so ago some EA demos for "accidently" listed as $5 per? All comes full circle.

You glad you got a PS4? How is that relevant to this discussion.

Because PS4 offers more gameplay hours?

no because Sony didnt want to offer this saying it wasnt a good deal to the gamers and they were right Sony saved us 30$ (to spend somewhere else..ps now...) but thats what ya boi ment Us sony users were feeling left out with this EA access now not so much "WE ARE RELEVANT" LMAO

I imagine 6 hours will be enough time for me to fully experience the game and make a purchase decision. If I am frustrated about anything it is more in the marketing of the benefits of the subscription. I think a better way to back up the "early access" claim is to give you the 6 hours but give the option to fully purchase the game in full and continue your actual early access. It would probably lead to more sales. Maybe that is an option but I don't get that vibe.

I mean, I get that Sony wants to support Playstation Now, but the access to the Vault has always been the biggest selling point.

I like most people here would've only gotten EA access for madden 15. Those old games in the vault have interest to me. With battlefield hardline and FIFA 15 coming out soon. Must people would not have bought EA access if they knew EA had this up their sleeve.

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

is this a sign of all games in the EA vault? Where has it been stated that their vault would be unlimited hours of play?

Now people see this is dumb? Better now then never I guess.

Ummm..I can confirm that I have played BF4 for over 50 hours and Fifa 14 as well.

Its new games yet released that get limited time.....

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

Maybe I'll subscribe when more games are added to the vault. The only thing at this point that had me wanting to get it was the hope of getting to play the sports games for a full 5 days before release. Thats gone so theres little value in the program right now for me personally. BF4 is the only game in the vault I would play. So glad I waited. Was planning to purchase this on the 21st, but patience worked out.

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

It strikes me as poor form to change the terms of the early access program - which allowed around 72 hours of gameplay on XBOX 360 / PS3 via Season Ticket - to a new number which is 8% of the old value.

If you're an XBOX One owner and were looking forward to playing Madden 15 early via EA Access, I would assume you are upset and I don't really blame you.

EA is going to say it's not a "demo" because you're being granted the full game. In a sense, they are correct - you'll be able to start a CFM, or Ultimate Team, edit roster files, save Gauntlet scores, etc. etc. - but effectively it is a demo because of the extreme time constraint. I'm not sure there's really a precedent for this sort of thing in gaming, honestly.

If I were on XBOX One, I would be staying far away from EA Access as currently implemented.

It's $30, for a year......you get free games and they won't get taken out of the vault...why wouldn't you renew?

We still have no clue how often "The Vault" will be updated.

Re: EA Access Gives You Six Hours Of Madden NFL 15

Now I can see why Sony passed on this.

Sony didn't pass this up because of a six hour trial period.

Sorry, but this is EA Access to Madden 15, this is EA access. You still get four full games to play for $5 a month or $30 a year and trials.

While i think a trial limit doesnt make sense to me for sports game, still, it still a good value overall.

Those that make comments about this being the reason why sony passed, needs to think a little harder. EA access isn't just about trials, it is about the accessibility of a vault of games as well. Four full games right now for $30 in a year + trials regardless of limits is a bad deal? gtfo

From one Giants fan to another, while I have both systems i'd probably consider myself more of a Xbox fan but really im just all about playing great games. The service has just lost so much value with this announcement. Has nothing to do with being a Sony fan.
