you'd definitely have to wait until 26th. No way there gonna give you just 6 hours, then let you have the game.

Not to mention that people can cancel at any time and it's half the purchase price of a full game.

But who are we to bring logic into this?

I think the EA subcription for XBone has its merits, they just execute things poorly. They should have just done the M15 trial for both next gen systems and gave XBOX subcribers something extra, like Madden packs. Besides, last year's Madden 13 trial was terrible (players disappeared), and the PS3 launch of M13 was a mess (game didn't load every time until they patched). At least you xboners get a trial though.

Couple of comments:

First, slow down with the insults. Most people here are adults and people have been addressing you in an adult manner. You keep going down this path and you wont have to worry about OS' average age because you wont be here anymore.

Second, EA has given 72 hr access to their sports games for 3 years and still has sold millions of games. If anything people playing the game for 72 hrs encouraged them to buy the games.

this whole thread is an assumption like how sony passed on this because madden is 6 hour full demo.

Your response is an assumption that many were going to stay on, it goes both ways. There are people that are going to cancel after a month and those that wont cancel after a month.

The point is, the fact that people can cancel at any point in time if they chose the monthly option is probably the reason why they put a limit. As opposed to the ticket which was $25 upfront.

So it isn't farfetched to think that the people who are bitching up an down this thread were going to cancel after a month anyway. Especially those that are saying in this thread that they got the sub just for madden, so these same people who got this sub just for madden were planning to pay $5 a month or $30 a year for early releases of madden every year? Unlikely those that got this just for madden were planning to stay on.

im one of those that was going to cancel after playing early release and gettin gthe 10% discount.

Ok, now that I have gotten over the shock of this. I'm glad I spent the 30 dollars because I got Battlefield 3,FIFA 14 and Madden 25 so now I'm not so mad. Yes that 6 hours is wack but hey we get 3 games and more to come for 30 bucks a year.


Reed is comin' atcha!!
