Xbox One Gamers Can Play Madden NFL 16 Early with EA Access

[Lilgoosy]

EA access is a good thing, ..i know it is very easy to jump on the hate train towards EA but you must admit that it si a pretty cool feature.
Not only for the 6 hours preview of new games, but most for the possibility of having free games when they get "old". while sports games are really OLD after 6 months or more, games like battlefield are capable of having a span of 2 years or more in which you always find tons of players online and new features.

for example having battlefield 4 for free today is quite cool

QUESTION: So i can just pay $5 for August for EA Access, get Madden for the five days ahead of the actual release, then cancel Access on the date Madden actually comes out? So basically just a $5 fee to get the game five days early? Sounds worth it to me.

I believe you do get the game 5 days early, through digital download from Access, but you just get 6 hours of game time and then you cannot play the game again until midnight of the actual game release...

It is a pretty cool feature! Glad i signed up. Great value for $29.99/year

Looking forward to playing it on August 20th!

There are also workarounds for you to get more time by creating a different Xbox ID.

Access makes sense to me because every year I would pay 15-40 dollars more to get the game early. With EA Access, I dont have to run around on Ebay or Mom and Pop shops looking for the game. Pay 5 bucks and get the game early with no fuss.

Access is definitely worth it, especially considering you should be getting early access to Madden, PGA, NHL, and FIFA.5 days early play of McIlroy & FIFA alone is worth the price.

Yes. I did this last year for NHL Early Access. EA Access only had like 2 games at that point, but now with the size of the library I'm signing up for a full year this time.

It's not really news. It's just information for those interested.

I think I might snatch up EA Access for this here. It wasn't worth it last year to me. But this year, I see the value. Plus I get to demo Madden. EA Access is a nice deal. My little brother just made the jump to current gen with the XB1 and for 30$ he has 5 solid sports games to start with. That ain't bad at all.

It's a pretty ridiculous value, the Vault now has FIFA 14, 15, Battlefield 4, Madden NFL 25, 15, Plants vs. Zombies Garden Warfare, NHL 15, EA SPORTS UFC, Need for Speed Rivals, NBA LIVE 15 and Peggle 2 in the vault. You can install and play all of those games.

In addition to that, games that have trials like Madden and Dragon Age: Inquisition... they aren't a limited time. Trials aren't only available for a specific window, you could get EA Access in December and have 6 hours of Madden 16 available to you assuming you didn't subscribe and use it earlier.

$5 for a month, $30 for a year, whichever way you decide to go it's almost certainly worth it for anyone owning an Xbox One.

Re: Xbox One Gamers Can Play Madden NFL 16 Early with EA Access

I have no desire to play games from last year or even further back..

And when did Access make its debut in relation to when EA stopped putting out demos for everyone, such as games like Madden?

You can probably buy all of the games offered in the vault, used, for about 30 bucks, lol.

While that's true, you also get 6 hours of early access to all their new games which is worth it to some people. I wish they offered something like this for PS4 but EA bet on microsofts horse.

If your saying you can buy all of them together used for $30 then no that's not gonna happen unless you catch a desperate private seller.

Sony declined to participate in the service is all.
