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

I noticed they put out something saying access time will vary by game. I wonder if less popular games will receive more time.

As a former Season Ticket sub I was blindsided by this today. I don't understand how they came up with 6 hours and thinking we would all accept because we got Peggle 2 for free!

Even if you can get a game in, in 30 mins...That's still just 12 games played....

Um, that's a lot of games...

The value seems to come from the vault access rather than getting games early.

I had hoped it was basically Season Ticket for next gen but obviously I was wrong

To each their own, but I disagree....You couldn't even play through a whole season...

Disappointed it's only 6 hours thought it would at least be the same as season pass. Access is good deal for new xbox one owners but I already own fifa and bf4 but oh well

This will take down EA's image...How close they are to the edge, all you need is a push.

I don't see how it is that grave - they already have a bad rep in the eyes of the online gaming commumity that votr them worst company in America.

The investment they put into this very title is worth applauding if not then at least your acknowldgment of their progress is warranted.

I'm just totally baffled.. I think the worst part of this is our naked compliance to adhering w the agenda they have established.

I say naked because we are openly voicing our displeasure regarding this particular new standard that has been set yet their will be members of this complaining body that still buy the game or even early access + the game.

That last statement sibliminally tells me that our weakness for instant gratification and this game in particular is stronger than the power they have over us to initiate these parameters in the first place.

It reminds of MUT Community members who continually purchase bundle packs with real money regardless of hoe many times they were previously shafted which tells me two things: (1) they can be taken advantage of because they have money to blow amd want to blow it (2) they are addicted to the transaction itself of purchasing and ripping packs

We all have somewhere that $5 or $30 can go and EA basically opens up shop and says, "we have built it: they will come".

Sadly, we still come in droves so I cannot even speak on the subject of protest - I have no faith that this avenue of objectives holds any gravitis.

If a change is comming, it may very well be their, EA's own plan or work of madness, to frustrate us with a low ball offer only to appease us with a greater more appealing restructued counter offer.

What's the point of having it 5 days early if it's only for 6 hours? Also, no demo. Complete money grab and rip-off to people like me who were dumb enough to pay the 30...

This information should have been released for any upcoming titles at the time the service released. IMO, it's extremely crooked to launch a service, let most of the early adopters purchase, and then release specific game info. It is my fault that I purchased (only one month I might add and I still feel cheated), before all the info had been released. I should know better. Feel for anyone that bought the yearly sub and thought they'd have more playing time.

I say everyone that is dissatisfied call EA and demand a refund. That's the only way they will listen. I bought an Xbox One just for EA Access which now will be returned to Best Buy. I am ashamed EA would limit it to only 6 hours. As many here, I could care less for the vault. This is the last service I purchase from EA.

Yet again, EA's out stealing money from it's loyal consumers. I WANT MY MONEY BACK!!!

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

Even if this were available for PS4, I had no intention of purchasing it.
But, I can empathize with those who purchased it, thinking they'd have a long weekend to play extensively. After all, it's akin to renting a video game from Blockbuster or Gamefly -- you can play it as often as you like in the allotted time.
If I already spent money on this, I'd be feeling pretty duped. Shafted. Bent over a table.
Why didn't EA reveal this somewhat important disclaimer from the start?
This is known in the vernacular as dirty pool.

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

I did the math and if you decide to pay the $30 dollars for the year and buy all EA sports games it would round out to $320. If you don't pay for early access then buy all EA sports games it would round out to $320. Madden, FIFA, NHL, NBA, and UFC. So it's actually a better deal to buy it rather than not buy the early access. Because you still get early access while getting vault games as well. So I think when you look at the picture, it's a great deal either way.

This program helps them decrease their physical publishing costs while destroying the resale market and disallowing you from obtaining an asset for your money. It will also probably result in no more demos from EA sports games in order to justify the program to it's customers as providing value.

Old sports games have some of the lowest value in the industry once the new iteration is released so there isn't much value in that. I also can't see them ever diminishing their sales on a AAA title to release it on EA Access while it is in demand.

The only real thing of value in this program for me was a $5 rental for 5 days which is similar to what Blockbuster used to do.

EA sports is the girl that is way too good looking for us but we all think we can get her. No matter how many times she screws us over we fall for the same old tricks again the next year.

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

I understand why it has a time limit.. But it needs to be longer..it don't have to have all the game modes cc and play now would be fine with at least 24 hrs..
