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

After some talk in the back, this thread is going to be opened up again. I will say this though. If people can't express how they feel in a mature, respectful and adult manner the hammer will be swift.

I don't want to see anything like what I saw this afternoon. Everyone is entitled to an opinion and they should be able to express that without insult, gloating, whining our down right being rude to fellow posters.

So with that said, this thread is back open.

If y'all want to update the OP with It will for sure release on 21st. It has been confirmed on EA Access twitter

It's amazing how things have changed... All this nonsense about EA access wouldn't have mattered a few years ago because the game would usually release the Tuesday after the hall of fame game.

By EA deciding to delay the release to the last week in August and having no demo this year has frustrated a lot of gamers including myself because the pre-season has started and everyone wants their football fix.. i miss the good old days.

I mentioned in the other EA Access thread a day or two ago how the wording on the EA Access app was ambiguous. I pretty much agree on both sides of this argument: those who feel cheated for whatever reason, and those who say that EA made their intentions clear with this "limited" wording on their app. Most of us just feel as though they should have been much more clear about everything as soon as they released the app, especially when "early & limited access" used to mean: "try the game for the entire duration of 3 days before release." Three days was still a limited time, but there was no time limit within that time limit, if that makes sense.

I feel bad for the people that paid for this just to get Madden 15 a little earlier, but I feel 2x as bad for the guy that bought this service and doesn't frequent Twitter or any online gaming site (including OS). That guy is in for a rude awakening when he starts playing later this week, only to see a counter ticking the time away. If EA were upfront about this from day 1, no one would be able to complain about being misled.

The hysteria is relative, game could come out after the Super Bowl and the circus (trying to find an early copy, the dust-up over early access, etc) would follow.

After having time to think all of this over, I will say this.

A. EA Access is either $5 a month or $2.50 a month if you do a year. So with the vault, if theres something in there you want to play and not buy, you can pay a monthly rental fee for it. I'd rate that B+ (Will be an A+ when it gets really full of titles)

B. Limited trials were discussed up front, but they were not clear as they should've been with sports titles. Everyone assumed that it would be 2 hours or limited with the story mode games, and Battlefield, but not sports titles. I'll rate this C- (For EA not being up front, nor following the EA Season Ticket.)

C. EA Season ticket was 72 hours of gaming, and EA Access is 6 hours right now. That 6 hours is weak compared to the 72 hours. Now had EA given us 10 hours that would've been even better. Most gamers play 2-3 hours a day, but with it being on a weekend. 20 hours would've been the target number. I would be perfectly happy with 2-4 hours per day of gaming given out. F-

Plus no NCAA to ride the tide out

Wish everyone would just offer demos to those who pre-order. Seems that is fair...

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

I was hoping to enjoy the EA early access for 5 "FULL" days instead of "Clock Watching" for 6 hours

I can't say I'm not disappointed but it's still worth its weight and gold for what I'm currently getting from it in BF4 & Fifa 14

Let's please act mature and not punch anyone's face over a video game.

They took a look at how much chatter happened when the Live demo dropped last year before it hit shelves. All the negative backlash about Live demo/early access or whatever you want to call it had a major impact on sales and Scott O'Brien was having to spin a PR nightmare even before the game actually went on sale. THIS is why you get no demo this year for Madden.

The NBA Live 14 demo released on November 19, which was the exact same day that the full game went on sale at stores.

NBA Live 14 also was not shown to the public prior to its release, apart from E3, where all they had available to play was the one person practice mode that was later patched into the game.

Meanwhile, multiple games of Madden NFL 15 have been streamed in full, and most of its modes have been demoed on Twitch. There is plenty of footage out there for people to make an educated decision on whether or not they will like the game, which is pretty much the complete opposite of how NBA Live 14 was handled, prior to its release.

Highly dissapointed hope the outcry reaches ea and they back track

I bought the access mainly to get madden early and even took the Friday off that's where it hurts because I can pretty much use up my 6 hours in a synch

But getting the vault games were an awesome addition that I didn't realize so that kind of takes the salt out of my mouth...

When they were announcing the service I heard so many things coming from each that had me sold and it feels like they back tracked on a few things

They have an awesome maybe ground breaking idea they came out with the access that only a few game companies big enough that can even think about doing something of this nature


I like but don't love ea and they release good games (I don't like NBA live tho)

They rushed the service I think because a lot of their games are coming out soon and they didn't think things out clearly and launch this service

I'm not saying let's protest but if we speak up I'm sure they would change it to full access for madden at least

I am hoping they will back track and release a new number by the 21st...we can only hope!
