EA Early Access

[GoodyBucs]

Any ideas on when we start the 10 hours of game play on EA Early Access?

Re: EA Early Access

I keep hearing Aug 21st. Which is confusing, because I cant remember if it's usually 3 days prior to the real release date, or 3 days prior to the early release for preorders...if that ever was a thing.

It's always been late Wednesday night or Thursday. So late on the 19th or 20th. We have this discussion every year.

How does EA Early Access work exactly?

You can download the full game early but can only play it for 10 hours? Then you wait until release date to continue?

Forgive my ignorance. I've never used it before.

EA/Origin Access (which is now "EA Play" to make it even more confusing ), starts on the 21st. It is a 10 hour trial of the full game. It doesn't matter if you have a preorder or not - you need a subscription to one of the services to use it.

The 3 day early access is for the MVP edition preorder, and there is no time limit.

On a google search forums found this from ea employee:

https://answers.ea.com/t5/Game-Information/I-have-EA-access-Will-i-need-to-buy-madden-21-or-will-it-be-on/td-p/9352051

Madden NFL 21 is not included within EA Access as a game within The Vault where you'll get unlimited play, however you'll have 10 hours of game time of Madden NFL 21 starting August 21st. Once you use up the 10 hours of game time, you'll need to purchase Madden NFL 21 to continue playing it.

Right...got it. That 10hrs goes fast. I ended up getting the mvp edition after my 10 hours was up last year. That was a waste because I never used the mut packs that came with it. I wont fall for it this year.

Re: EA Early Access

Any way to get the month of ea access for free on the PS4? Or you're out $4.99 if you decided not to buy.

If you’ve never had it before there MAY be a trial month not exactly sure. But I paid the 4.99 for 10 hours of UFC 4 so a 10 hour madden demo is just extra for me.

Yeah, I thought ea might have a free trial going on, or somebody know something I don't. I think I used it last year. I don't remember paying for it but that was a year ago. I don't remember what I did last night..yet along a year ago.[emoji2]

Re: EA Early Access

Just a reminder for those with PC.

You can get Orgin Access Premier for a month for $14.99 and get the full game on the 21st.

Or spend $99 for a year and get highest edition of Madden, FIFA, Star Wars Squadron and other EA games that have released and will be released.

I use to be against these subscription plans, but between Game Pass for PC and EAs, I've discovered games that I'd never think of buying
