Early Access to Madden NFL 15 is Working For EA Access Subscribers

03:33 PM - August 21, 2014 by Steve_OS

Microsoft has resolved the Madden NFL 15 early access issue for EA Access subscribers. For some odd reason, users were able to download it, but couldn't actually play the game.

Exclusive to Xbox One users, EA Access subscribers get six hours of gameplay. So make sure you close out of the app when it's not in use. The timer starts when you start the game and pauses when you exit and close the app.

Can't have a "new" feature if it is the same. What they did was take the existing playcall screen and reversed scrolling pretty much everything. So instead scrolling down to look at different formations within a formation, you scroll sideways. Instead of scrolling sideways to look at different formations like 4-3, nickel, you scroll down. That is EA's trick. it is "new", but it is the same, but reversed.

Only to turn around and give people less access(time wise) to the game than they would have gotten with a demo. We see this all the time a company will extract from consumers what they feel they can. If it isn't micro-transactions it's something like this. If EA has success giving you more for less and then charging you for the rest expect it to become a trend. I for one agree that as a consumer it isn't always about what you have to spend it's about what you believe is fair. As long as you just go along with things because it's not too bad the more things will progressively get worse.

Not really. They milk it too bad then they kill the golden goose. Gamers are very fickle. They didn't sell us the idea of early access to a full version, they literally sold us access to a full version. Not getting into the timed debate, it's a dead horse that only a select few continue to beat.

I'd take my 6 hours tinkering with Ultimate Team, simming 10 years in CFM and tinkering with rosters and preseason and playing with a created player and owner. All within a few hours and nothing I could do in any demo they've ever released.

Would I like more? Absolutely. Will I pay another $5? Probably not. If I had the option of doing so without making another account... eh, reply hazy, try again later.

What happened? Were you locked out after just 1 hr and 20 minutes of playing?

And we may adjust. It may just suck right now because we have been looking at the same thing for such a long time.

Are you suggesting there's nothing new at all about play calling but just scrolling?

Is there a way to see exactly how much time you have left?

I feel like playing defense is pretty easy on AP and AM. Offense can be challenging, I'm having problems throwing the ball and running between the tackles. All in all just happy that defense is better

Been playing the early access and for the life of me I can't figure out why I don't have any announcers or commentary. I checked the menu's and I have everything set to 100%. I have crowd noise and everything, just no commentary, pre-game announcer, or stadium announcer.

Sorry if this has been asked before, but I searched the thread and found nothing.

Any ideas?

Wow thank you. Much appreciated. Have no idea how it got on that setting since I haven't used surround sound.
