This is a company that just has zero ability to do public relations. I just can't believe how blind they are to grubbing every nickel they can get.

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

As an older gamer I do not know if six hours is enough time for me to make a decision on NHL 15. I have not played the game in the past and therefore do not know the control scheme.

Take UFC as an example I probably would not have bought it if I only had six hours as the controls took me a while to be able to start winning. But since there was a demo (not a trial) I was able to get more comfortable with the controls by putting in time and purchased the game when it was released.

I think EA Access is a good value just disappointed I will not have more time with a game before I have to make a decision.

More disappointed than outraged.

I've gotten my $30 pretty easily with the vault games and will be enjoying my 6 hours of Madden. Hope the feedback is deafening though and changes are made (while not consuming every conceivable thread even remotely related to it).

The Vault selection will have to significantly improve or early access terms change before re-upping, for sure, but no regrets about picking up the first year of the new service.

I was so pissed at Sony, now I see why Sony made the decision they made.

Thank you Sony for saving me from myself. I wouldn't be able to resist the urge even though I know its a terrible deal, I still likely would have purchased.

You really think Sony said no because Madden was 6 hrs long?

I have a bridge to sell you

THIS is why I said I'm glad I have a PS4 on the last page. Because Sony's smart enough to reject business ideas if they suck, EA and Microsoft just want your money. And as it seems, for their wallets; they have successfully rolled this out.

This coupled with the possibility that EASHL will out of next gen NHL is really disappointing! I get limiting a story based game, but a sports game is ridiculous. I would understand even 6 hours a day for the 5 days but not 6 hours total.

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

For those who will play the games in the vault, it's still not a bad deal. I would be upset because EA waited until the week Madden is out for EA Access to tell people it's a 6 hour trial. I understand they said it was going to be limited from the jump and it is our fault for buying early when we didn't know the specifics, but the 6 hour window still rubs me the wrong way.

I would have easily paid $30 for the Season Ticket program and getting the game the weekend before as the driving force for me would have been early access to sports games.

Nevermind. Not worth it.

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

My suggestion is people should go to the EA Access twitter and make their voice heard. Enough threats of cancelled subscriptions may force them to reconsider the 6 hrs.

Guys.

Drop the Sony talk and don't let turn into a console war.

Sony has no reason to even be brought up in this thread (or ps4 for that matter).

Edit: not directed at anyone in particular.

[chrisphil1724]

This has nothing to do with Microsoft/Xbox. This is about EA dropping the ball.

It clearly does if the Sony ship can point to this issue and say this is a reason to pick one system over the other.

Yes, Microsoft didn't tell EA you can only let them play for 6 hours but that poor decision by EA does have a negative effect on the Microsoft Xbox platform.

Terrible execution by EA. Completely disrespectful to the fans, and subscribers. They should've said this day one, now they've "stolen" money from users that expected to get their favorite new titles, unlimited, that paid a premium of $30! That's half of an entire Madden copy itself lol.

Snakes. EA and Microsoft look like a bunch of crooks right now, I waited, but I'm fully offended. I was planning on having Madden Thursday, my day off, and now I'll have to wait that extra 5 days. Its not detrimental, but it is a pretty big let down, by companies that make Millions if not Billions of dollars.

Mom and Pop Shops and other places that sell Madden early just got a big boost in traffic, well once this gets around.

A demo has far more value as a Free, Unlimited In-Game Game-Play trial, than a trial for 6 hours for $30. . . offensive.

Im pretty sure they said limited trials for new releases. They just dint say madden was going to be 6 hours specifically. Sooooooo...

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

I'm out. Glad I only bought one month. 6 hrs is ridiculous. No need to make the limit shorter than EA Season Ticket.

Same here. I only purchased 1 month because I felt EA wasn't telling the whole story about the time limit.

EA never ceases to amaze me with some of there antics

Yet another reason to not think highly of EA and Microsoft.
