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

Ok, but it was still FREE and UNLIMITED. Operative words. For me, it makes more fiscal sense to NOT PAY for something I CAN'T keep. Season Ticket was different because it allowed you 12 times the amount of time than EA Access, and it went over release weekend to retail release, so I never really lost the game, I just got the game when ST expired. Essentially I was paying a little extra for full access early like I bought the game early. (Like Skyboxer did for instance this year) With EA Access, it's only 6 hours, AND I'M LOSING it after that. NOT like I bought it early.

How much was the ticket? Was it $60 a year and you still had to pay $60 for the game or what? How did that work?

First off. I own a PS4. Lets get that out of the way. For those Xbox 1 owners who spent the thirty dollars or five dollars on this service and are happy with it , there is no need to explain your purchase. It's your money so do with it what you please.I hope you find the value your looking for. For those who are upset with the fact they purchased this service and feel misled , I'm sad for you. I could see why you feel that way. EA (not sports ) should have laid the cards on the table from the start and let people know exactly what they were getting for their money. I mean , that's how I like doing business. Either way , I don't technically have a dog in the fight since I don't own a one , but I would suggest a little patience . I would assume that they didn't build a vault for four games, so more will be added. Until then , enjoy your Madden 15 early access . It may not be what season ticket offered , but at least it bridge the gap some between now and Tuesday

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

you get 4 games to play off the jump (with more coming ) 10% off new games and content for 30 bucks, whats the problem

Well not everyone is interested in the listed games, but other than that there is no problem. People assumed and they came up wrong. They don't want to blame themselves for jumping the gun, so they blame EA.

Im sorry to all the users who feel burned, but this is your fault. Like I said, maybe this will teach you going forward. Wait for details, don't purchase something on assumptions. I mean this is EA after all guys. We know they love the shady moves.

Wow…. Really glad I only went with the month. That's really low. To not come out from the beginning and say 6 hours instead all you heard was 5 days early access to games. Obviously people are going to take that as 5 whole days. Especially since season ticket gave you 3 days unlimited. Unreal. I bought this mainly to play madden and nhl early. 5 dollars isn't a big deal, just let down I won't have nearly as much time as I thought i would.

Not surprised at all. If you got money to burn, and nothing to do for 6 hours, here you go. I'd rather wait and buy Madden 25 in a month for $44.99 and after 2 patches fix the inevitable issues that plague it on release date.

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

Wow, that's really terrible. I now have to decide whether its worth keeping my EA Access subscription or not. 6 hours of play time, over a 5 day period is just quite pointless, especially if you're paying for it IMO.

The tough part for me about my subscription though, I traded in BF4, and M25 and got about $45 or so in credit towards Madden/NHL/Destiny and I've still been playing M25 and BF4 from the vault, and I got Fifa for free.

So its tough, because to me the value is still there in BF4 and Fifa, but one of the key features of this program was the early access. Limited at 6 hours... its pretty worthless IMO when with the old Season Ticket program you'd get 3 full days. It'll probably take me longer than 6 hours to download the game!

Really poor decision on EA's part in my opinion.

Guys it's not called EA Early Access.....it's called Ea Access, meaning access ea games for one flat cost. I'm done in this thread, people are a joke and freak out b/c they over analyze what they are purchasing.

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

This is surprising and disappointing for me. I expected to have the game the whole weekend, so 6 hours is a bit of a punch in the gut. I wish I had known that before I signed up, but honestly I'd probably still have paid for it. I mean, we're only talking five bucks in my case.

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

Do you even have an xbone?

No I dont, only a PS4, (and I think your point to that question is that I wouldn't know that EA Access also has the full copy of M15 once it's out OR you have the option to buy the full version in game). But again, so did Season Ticket... but at least ST went 72 hours up to release, EA Access only goes 6 hours, and no where near release.

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

Why are you guys still complaining. You get to play FIFA 14, bf4, and madden 25 for 5$ a month or 30$ a year. ITS THE VAULT BABY. With doesn't want to play these games. Just play madden 15 one a day until it hits stores and you will be good. WHAT A DEAL, OLD GAMES FOR CHEAP.

VAULT
VAULT VAULT
VAULT GAMES

I
Own FIFA
Own BF4
Own Madden 25

Where's the value?

These Vault games probably won't be added to the vault, until its a month or two away from the release of the new one, which by then, or a couple months after, will be completely obsolete when the '16 games are out. What aren't people understanding? EA isn't going to add games to the Vault, if people will still buy it for 50 or 60 brand new lol. Come on! HORRIBLE VALUE.

With the different offers you can end up (after trading in) getting all three of those games, at different retailers, or in different deals, for about the same or a little more than the VAULT, but you actually get them while they are still new and fresh.
