Still don't get the assuming part...

Download 5 days early
Play for a limited time
Then it's listed at a minimum of 2 hours.

You can download the game 5 days before launch. Check
You can play for a limited time. Check
A minimum of 2 hours. Check.

Where were any of you to clarify this before Steve OS posted this thread? All of a sudden it was obvious? Really?

Like I said before, enjoy your EA Access. I'm going to enjoy my 72 hours of Season Ticket.

So EA was referring to the five days with the limited time wording and then also include dragon age? How come many people understood that dragon age would have a limited trial and dont understand now that Madden wont? Because it makes sense to put a limit on an RPG and doesnt make sense for sports game in their options. Yet, they ignored that this was a blanket statement and covered the games listed and limited meant a limited time during the five day span.

Perhaps people shouldn't assume so much and wait for the details.

"f you’re an EA Access member, you can download upcoming EA games five days before the release date to play for a limited time. Madden NFL 15, NHL 15, FIFA 15, NBA LIVE 15 and Dragon Age: Inquisition are all included, with more to come.

well, then why didn't they put 6 hours instead of "5 days limited time"..That's right, to mislead the consumer because not many here would purchase it otherwise. It's pretty obvious, and I hope you're getting paid to defend their shady practices

Well here, for one.

Also, here.

So... yeah... really. Keep enjoying trying to be condescending like you're the only one who Season Ticket is available to as well.

You're entitled to think of my tone any way you want. Not sure how I implied that season ticket only belonged to me, but whatever floats your boat.

It was discussed in depth in one of Steve's last news story that announced the launch of EA access.

In fact many os'ers were the ones that pointed out the 2 hour minimum and asked how that would pertain to Madden if at all.

Most people just assumed that as a sports title it wouldn't apply but it was discussed in length, you just missed it apparently.

Just wanted to point that out since this is now the second time you've said something similar to this.

They also stated that you can play the game for a limited time during those 5 days.

It's like a store saying a sale is going on this weekend, for a limited time or while supplies last... Meaning that it is this weekend, maybe not all weekend and only till they run out...

Simply put, EA touted EA Access as up to five days early -Starts Thursday, check. As well as limited time gameplay- 6 Hours, limited? yes., check. Also at LEAST 2 hours. - 6 Hours., check. As much as they baited and switched, and were deceptive, they still legally covered everything they said. It was our faults as consumers for not looking closely enough and having unrealistic expectations for what we were getting.

No problem. Posts get missed and some threads move fast. It's still garbage and that seems apparent by the outrage.

You nailed it. Some people are going to defend EA Sports to the death and others will criticize it to the death. That's just the name of the game. The language could have been better, starting with those advertising EA Access. People get condescending, but get upset if you do it back. I do my best to keep up with the forum, but sometimes, life gets busy.

I was juggling between the 360 Season Ticket and Xbox One EA Access. As a consumer, they made my choice clear for me. I don't care if people want to buy it Early Access, but it's apparent that the details weren't crystal clear. That's made well known by the comments made by this page. I guess I could try do a number count to show I'm not simply assuming that. I'll have to work soon though.
